Spoilers Crisis on Infinite Earths Discussion (CW Event Spoiler Thread)

[StCoop]

Given that she appears in the canonical comic-book tie-in by Guggenheim and Wolfman, don't hold your breath for Lynda or even Linda Carter's Wonder Woman turning up on screen.

Unfortunately that seems to be true, as they said that the comics would include people they could NOT get onscreen.

I wonder what is going on with Lynda Carter? SHe isn't in Crisis (probably), didn't make it in Wonder WOman, and doesn't look like WW1984 either.

It would be great to let her have one last ride in some way...

The Ray is in the comic, and he had a cameo at the start of Part 1.

 

[Greg Cox]

Not to be an annoying editor, or single anybody out in particular, but can we please take note that it's Lynda Carter, not "Linda" Carter. If we're going to be discussing her at length, we should probably get her name right.

 

[JD]

But we've still gotten movie universes incorporated through Robert Wuhl and Brandon Routh. Maybe they couldn't get Christian Bale or Henry Cavill, but maybe they could manage, say, Joe Morton as Silas Stone, or William Devane as the President from the Nolan-Batman universe. (Devane played the President in Stargate SG-1 too, so we know he'll do TV.)

Hey, Michael Jai White, the Arrowverse's Bronze Tiger, played a mob boss in The Dark Knight. Oh, but the Joker killed him, so I guess he couldn't appear.

Oh yeah, obviously those kind of people have appeared, and we could probably see other people at that level. I'm just saying we shouldn't expect to see people any of the big A-listers to show up.
I do wonder if they could maybe a couple seconds of preexisting footage from one of movies, but I'm not sure how that would work with having to get everybody's permission.

Permission would be obligatory, as would compensation for the actors appearing in the stock footage. That's the real obstacle -- how much it would cost.

 

[JD]

So actors do get paid when old footage is used to? I wasn't sure how all of that worked.

Sure. That's what residuals are -- you get a payment every time something you did is shown again, whether it's a rerun, a home video release, archive footage, or whatever. The people whose names appear at the start of a TV show -- "above the line" -- are the people who get paid residuals, and the people whose names are only in the end credits are (usually) the ones who don't.

Yep.

(And for the love of God, for future reference, it's Christopher Reeve, not "Reeves.")

 

[Greg Cox]

Yep.

(And for for the love of God, for future reference, it's Christopher Reeve, not "Reeves.")

"Josh Wheldon" and "J.J. Abrahams" agree.

 

[dahj]

it's Christopher Reeve.

You misspelled Keanu.

And Reeves.

 

[Ssosmcin]

You misspelled Keanu.

And Reeves.

Man, are we that far away from George’s Superman that Keanu is the first choice for “Reeves?” I feel so old...

Don't get me started. I die a little every time I see Bela "Legosi" or Claude "Raines."

 

[Guy Gardener]

If we're going to be discussing her at length, .

Five feet 11 inches.

It's a little icky looking up how tall women are.

The default is metric.

So you gotta say "how tall is she in feet".

Which draws in a website called "sexyfeet" that asks me "Do you want to see Lynda Carter's feet?

To which I say "No thank you"

Usually.

 

[Christopher]

Bela "Legosi"

Must be this guy.

Blame the spell corrector.

Not in the US you don't. Defect!

If I'm looking up somebody's height, I usually Google "NAME height".

 

[Christopher]

If I'm looking up somebody's height, I usually Google "NAME height".

If it's an actor, their IMDb bio will usually give their height.

 

[Greg Cox]

Blame the spell corrector.

Damn you, Spell Corrector!

Honestly, I wouldn't have mentioned it if it was just person doing it, but "LInda" seemed to be spreading like wildfire!

No multiverse crossover would be complete without the Entourage universe Aquaman.
