DC is okay, but can't compete with Marvel any more. They rely on two characters that actually sell well (albeit they Green Lantern and a few others sell have way decent), can't make movies, have WAY too many continuation problems and other errors and most of the characters are overpowered and/or don't make sense. The only thing keeping DC going is the latest AMAZING Batman movies (all hail Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan!) and the fact that Superman is engrained in American culture.

The new batman movies were supported largely by the villains more then batman himself. You've got to admitt that Heath ledgers role as the joker was downright the best portrayed character in all the batman movies.

Vertigo, man! That imprint is still putting out great stuff. In my opinion, that's what's keeping DC afloat.

Yeah, I must admit that Heath Ledger's performance is the best acting I have every seen. But you also have to admit that Christian Bale has been one of the best, if not the best Batman so far.

Frankly...he hasn't really had much competition. The thing that's working for the batman movies is mostly the storyline.

For some reason when I read the Matt Damon!!! I thought of Team America World Police.

Bryan Cranston has been cast as Lex Luthor. That should be pretty sweet.

You all have to remember, Ben Affleck was a good Daredevil. The Daredevil movie was awful cause the writing was horrid. But he portrayed Daredevil well.


Imink

Yes that's true at least I'm not saying he's a bad actor it's just him as a batman is a eh sorta thing it honestly all depends on the writing and the people making the movie(s)

I heard they were making a Wonder Woman movie. I also heard that Beyonce might play Wonder Woman. Is this true? Or is it just a rumor?

They are setting it up for the JLA. As for the beyonce thing...idk, not a huge fan of her acting so I'd prefer someone else.

Yerp, but its going to be the downfall of DC. They are hastily making crappy movies (Green Lantern) with big names who don't fit the roles. Just think, all of those big name actors trying to pretend to be superheroes....

That's one thing that made The Avengers so good. They took their time setting it up (except maybe Thor, that was a little iffy) but now DC has their back in a corner and has to find a way out.

Daredevil could have been worse. It could have been Electra. Daredevil may have been bad, but Electra hitting the screens will likely cost someone their soul...

And although I like Ben Afleck for the most part, it reminds me of a girl that was in my drama class. She couldn't act like anyone but herself. It was just her reading different lines.

Same with Ben Afleck. He doesn't fall into the roll. He doesn't become the persona he's playing. It's just Ben Afleck with different lines in a different costume...
