As far as I know DC is scrapping their shared connected universe now and is just doing standalone character films, one character might make a cameo here and there on other movies but from what Ive read they are not intrested in doing the whole marvel phase thing that all the movies connect to a JL movie in the end any more, and if they do they just might retcon everything before with the new movies and just act like they just recast the actors for the roles but "somehow" they are suposed to be the same, as for this movie its suposed to be bruce not dick since the script is said to be based on a young bruce starting his career as batman (sort of like batman begins type of deal), so far it is said to bear no connection to JL or BvS, their plan could be to make this as sort of a prequel or soft reboot, (same could go for the rest of the JL characters some of which might get recast like superman and flash) and from now on just scrap the previous JL movie and just have him be the new batman from now on and only if this "frachise" does well and each character's solo movies do well too, then will they try to connect them and have a JL movie further down the road. If this is the case then its what they should have done from the start since I think they rushed the JL movie just to try to catch up to marvel somehow without putting the work to actually making everything fit in well and make sense.

You are absolutely right, I dont know why it came to mind when I was thinking of weird casting choises from wb still my point was that wb hasnt had the best track record with casting as of late, add that to crappy sometimes predictable and others just sensless story telling its been a rough road for WB movies as of late (specially on the dc side of things)

Im of the idea that we shouldnt judge too much till we see something clear (like a trailer or even more), after all I really didnt thing Ledger could pull off being the joker and he nailed it, still as ok as an actor Pattinson is I just dont see him as batman, and he is known to not be very intrested (and thus not put as much effort into his performances) when it comes to big franchises or big boxoffice movies (he's more of an indy movie actor), I guess we'll have to see and I dont want to put too much shade to him but still I believe there are a bunch of better actors out there to choose from. One thing I dont like is how wb seems to like to go the controversial route when choosing it's actors that usually dont pay off (Ezra Miller as Flash, Jared Leto as Joker, and so on, now Pattinson) The capacity of the actor plays a big role in how well the movie does but as of late the popularity and how the fans accept him will also plays a big role in how the movie does in the box office, and that is where this decision scares me the most.

Not a fan of Overwatch but these figma figures always look really nice, Ive seen some people coment on the price (and they are expensive) and wanting to wait for the hasrbo releases but for some reason (andd I have no intrest in this property) I find the figma figures intresting and so far the hasbro ones I havent really felt the need to buy them (even with the cheaper price), the plastic and overall look of the hasbro figures just give me a very "kids toy" quality, comparing it to hasbro's marvel figures it looks kind of a line that could be right between Marvel Legends and their 6"basic figures, more articulated than the basic Marvel figures but the overall plastic asthetics look very similar, not quite as higher quality that the ML line uses. Figmas on the other hand usually always deliver, and for someone who doesnt really know the property it seems they are doing a bunch of characters (unusual for figma since they usualy just do the main characters of the property).

The figure looks really well done, its a shame I dont really collect 1/6 figures either, still it looks like Three Zero is making some pretty good figures from GOT, Im sure 1/6 collectors will be happy for these

I do hope they fix the issue the original Evil Ryu and Violent Ken figures had that when you articulated the legs up the T joint in the crotch would pop out of the socket in the torso, ive seen a bunch of videos and the issue was pretty apparent and quite bad, Storm usually goes back when they have issues like this and tweaks their sculpts in further releases, hopefully the did this for these two.

Hopefully they dont botch the story too much, the original source is a great story, the DC animated movies have been going downhill since they introduced their New-52 storylines into the movies and then started retroactively trying to make the older better sotrylines but somehow meld them with their new more "modern" universe

I didnt know this, Ill have to check it out, thanks for the info

well there goes all my moneys jajja. I was reluctant on getting Sagat and Guile till a classic version of Ryu and Ken came out, thats 4 figures now, I wonder if they'll re release Chun-li with a more classic style headsculpt later or a M.Bison (from what I can tell all they would need to do for a SFII M. Bison would be to repaint the hair and give him a shorter skirt piece)

this figure seems to have a more animated look than the previous version, it looks a little bit better sculpted, it looks nice though I dont think it warrants the purchase if you already own the other version unless you are a big SF or Sakura fan

Me too, I really hate that mezco only ships withing US for their online store so its virtually imposible to get these mezco exclusives for a decent price, the figure itself isnt that intresting to me (it doesnt look bad at all but not a fan of cloth clothing specially for more realistic clothes that on these figures look kind of baggy) still the accesories are the reall draw here and the good stuff being exclusive is a reall bummer

I was thinking that too, I dont really collect legos but its a very unique design of the set, im sure itll make for a very fun set for kids and collectors alike

Id like to get that Koolaid Man.... Ooooh yeahhh!!!!, but since these are blind boxes I dont really feel the need to test my luck, if I see somoene selling him loose Ill pick him up

Im still extremely uncertain on this figure, I really like how it looks but Im still not sold on the gummy torso, If this figure was sold with all the accesories as a regular release and not be missing the couple extra accessories the exclusive one had I would probably roll the dice on the figure, but as is I dont understand why just add the Excalibur and the aditional horns and make it an exclusive figure (to me it seems those accesories should have been included in the regular release). As for the rubbery torso it looks like the articulation works well enough and the mold looks good overall im weary on the material, these tipes of materials tend to break or suffer in the long road with plastic degratation more than more rigid plastics (they also tend to be a magnet to dirt and become sticky if not kept really really clean all the time)

Intresting, im curious if this is as the info states a reimagination of the watchmen graphic novel or if its something else, from the trailer I kind of got a vibe of a sequel type deal years after Ozimandias set his plan in motion and he created a new world with the remaining humans and now a new cult of anarchists wearing the rorshack looking masks are out to destroy this new world order.
