Quiver Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Suicide Squad is out in a month, and trailers have been released for Wonder Woman and Justice League; having a thread for DC's burgeoning universe might be overdue at this point. So... Here it is? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brightness Enna Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 I had barely heard of the WW movie before reading this two minutes ago... it looks great. I haven't seen a whole ton of really awesome awesomeness from DC (not that I've really been paying attention) so I hope that this one will fulfill expectations. I really like the actress they got for her, though. I think she's got the right look. I'm not familiar with WW's origin story, so I can't say anything as to its correctness in that way, but I kind of enjoy the fact that the "today" part of the movie happens during WWII (or is it WWI? I can't really tell and am too lazy to research it). I hope that they are able to differentiate their war from the Captain America one. This move has hurdles to overcome but it looks on track to win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlion Blight Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 It's World War I. And Wonder Woman looks great! I never thought I'd see the day when a good live action adaptation of Wonder Woman would be made! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mestiv Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Soo... Wonder Woman is really daughter of Zeus or is it just a myth? Do other women from her island have her abilities? I love her theme music Justice League looks fun and I'm interested how Aquaman will work, especially if they go fighting away from the sea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea about Wonder Woman. Until that trailer I didn't even know that she's ageless. How come that one of the Big Three was never given a proper backstory... I mean, there are less popular heros I know origins of. Well, judging by for example Flashpoint animation where he was able to-go-toe to toe with Wonder Woman or Young Justice, I'd say pretty great. IIRC he has the standard basic powerset (just switch flying with breathing underwater). Edited July 24, 2016 by Oversleep 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His father's experiments give him super IQ, in an attempt to rebel he becomes an athlete instead and makes some criminal friend. After an accident his father gives him a cyborg body, much angst ensues and after some conflict with his criminal friends he goes into heroing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick. Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Cyborg was in Teen Titans, and he also apeared in the cartoon movie "Flashpoint Paradox" along with superwoman, aquaman, batman, flash, and probably others I can't recall 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder woman is indeed a daughter of Zeus. All the Amazonians have her basic powerset, like Immortality but since she is the daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus she is even more enhanced being a demigod to boot. She doesn't have any direct powers from her father but in the comics I remember her praying to her father and summoning a lightning bolt. And from her mother's side she gets her super-strength. Her braces are impervious as portrayed in Dawn of Justice and her Lasso of Truth is self-explanatory. I'm not sure if she will have her invisible jet in either movie however. JASON MAMOA THOUGH. OMG perfect casting for Aquaman. It's obvious that they are going for the latter day Aquaman look. But without his hooked hand and all. Considering all these questions on the DC characters (namely the heroes/villains) that are going to be portrayed in the Cinematic Universe I might create a Google doco with all of the info there! So excited 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the fact that the main guy was called Robin and was dressed like Batman's Robin, then I would assume so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pestis the Spider Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I think it's because they are not so popular characters. But if you look them up on DC Wiki you can find some comics with them (as adults as well). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, Jason Momoa is my man crush monday Wonder Woman is... complicated? Let's say complicated. Her traditional origin has her as an immaculate birth. Her mother, Hippolyta, made a baby out of clay that came to life. Some versions of the story change it slightly so that the gods either brought Diana to life after Hippolyta "made" her, and gave her certain gifts (like wisdowm, speed, the ability to punch things good... you know. The usual.) Her New 52 origin changed all the above to being a lie she was told to keep her safe, and she is actually the daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus. As in, and born the, uh, normal way... And her current storyline is suggesting that that story was a lie too. So her line in the trailer that she was "brought to life by Zeus" could mean a lot of things. 4 hours ago, Delightful said: So Robin I know, but I've never heard of Beast Boy, Starfire or Raven out of TT context. Yeah, those three never really get a chance to graduate beyond that team, unfortunatly . But yup, all DC characters. They actually have a new comic coming out later this year, and they released a movie featuring those characters relatively recently...

Unless you see it as a love-hate relationship :/) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
