DC Movies - To Infinity and Beyond

[Dick Whitman]

Like all women as they age - they dye their hair a multitude of colors...
/em ducks and runs

That is true at all ages and applies to Noel Neill, Margot Kidder, and Erica Durance while playing Lois Lane.

I met the first two in Metropolis, IL annual Superman Celebration separately and together once. One year Noel made a surprise late appearance during a screening of her tv episodes. I remember a fan asked about her changing hair color. She was bemused. Her first episodes are black and white. But her hair was naturally red but early color shows it looks more brown. But in the later season it’s almost a fluorescent Red, which was not her natural color. If I remember right is how she describe it! Admitting it was coloring that showed up that way under the tv lighting.

Margot dyed her hair black for the first two films. But was her natural brunette color for 3 and 4.

Erica had heavy blonde high lights on Smallville for her early seasons. It was not until I believe season 8 that she used her natural brown hair.

If it were an alternate universe, wouldn't it be the Justice Society? Or the Crime Syndicate?

Well, there are Infinite Earths, so all three are right.

That sounds like a good universe. It implies the first movie was good enough to warrant a sequel. I would have enjoyed a good version of that movie.

 

[Set Harth]

That's the universe where Warner aren't dickheads, right?

And now Doom Patrol has been canceled...

I found nothing on CBR. Newsarama, ComicBook.com, even Twitter under the #doompatrol only has a couple of tweets either without a source, or in referrence to "one video on YouTube".

I just checked and there's nothing on Entertainment Weekly's website, TV Line, DC's official website or Io9.

Was it just greed that led to having crossover BvS And teamup Justlice League before doing a second Superman solo film? And then irony that those crossovers led to the public not wanting to see another Superman solo? Or is the public still interested in getting one?

I am still interested in a proper superman movie, as long it is not directed by Snyder

The public doesn't know what it's interested in until presented with the option. The public didn't know it was interested in Aquaman until presented with Jason Momoa in the role in a fun and visually dazzling movie, whereupon it forked over a billion dollars.

Make the right Superman movie, and the public will want that too, whether they knew they did before or not.

When I read that Zack Snyder had been ousted as the grand wizard of the DCCU I became very hopeful for its overall good health and future potential. Unfortunately that has since dissipated. I recently saw SHAZAM! in the theatre and it was mediocre at best. TPTB at Warner Bros. still have no clue despite Disney's MCU spoon feeding them the recipe. Sadly, they have no eye for quality as their hits are few and far between. The WB/DC films smack of desperation. Their generally bombastic and overstuffed nature gives their "they want it all and they want it NOW!" mentality away. There is zero patience. No commitment to a vision. It's gotten to the point where I will likely see a MCU motion picture first run, however, the DC flicks have definitely earned their demotion to second run discount theatre status.

I agree in principle, however, Snyder wasn't/isn't the only problem. It was and is the in-house corporate mindset and attitude that Warner Bros. has towards the DC source material. Paramount's treatment of the Star Trek franchise from the 1990s to the present was and is a cautionary tale. One which Disney is repeating with the Star Wars franchise (though not the MCU franchise).

And in yet more stuff cut out from Justice League, Uxas(young Darkseid) on Earth in the history lesson part:

Disney's MCU spoon feeding them the recipe.

Past performance is no guarantee of success. By Hollywood logic Star Wars should have failed big time, with minimal financial take. Hollywood is very slow to accept change, and is not willing to adapt a model just because.

The whole "we have to copy Marvel's recipe" thing was itself the problem. Do your own thing and believe in it.
