| binary solo said: Ezra Miller seems great for Barry Allen. Grant Guston is good, but the TV show and the Flash character in it are going downhill IMO. So it was a good decision for DC and Warner to decide to keep the universes totally separate. I hope Superman stays out of the first JL movie completely, the worst thing to happen would be for the JL to be getting their asses kicked and for Superman to deus ex machina his way to victory. I'm a bit skeptical now of team assembly movies and a trailer basically showing Batman going around recruiting people we saw in BvS doesn't particularly raise the excitement stakes. Still can't judge from the trailer, so I can remain hopeful. Wonder Woman seems like it could be good. How does the Greek pantheon thing work in DC? Are they like the Norse guys in Marvel where they are aliens, or or they presented as actual gods? Odd that Diana says she has no father, but then says she was brought forth by Zeus...ummm...he's her father, right? |
Sounds like they're going with the New 52 backstory of Wonder Woman. Zeus is her actual father. He got the down with Hippolyta. In other incarnations she's made of clay by Hippolyta, since she wanted a child so badly. The gods rewarded her by bringing her to life. Not sure who the original god did it. In Justice League animated it was done by Hades. In the Wonder Woman animated movie it was Aries.
The Norse gods are norse gods in Marvel. Don't think the movies butchering things because they're scared of magic (Dr. Strange is going to be interesting) is right. The greek panthoen pre-52, I'm not sure. New 52 they're kinda like modern people but with god powers and stuff. It's weird. Hera is Hera. Poseidon is some half human half fish thing. Hades is a kid with candles over half his head. Strife is some skanky looking chick with a shaved head. Apollo currently leads and he's weird himself. He's all black with flame eyes and mouth. He wears a suit like a businessman. Ares was an old man who recently regained his composer. He kinda has a scanadanavian look to him. Zues recently returned and is Zues. It's really weird. Diana is currently the God of War since she took it from Ares after his death but before his return.
