As far as I can tell, the only two Marvel/DC (live action) movies to break an 80 on Metacritic in the past 30 years were The Dark Knight and Spider-Man 2 (the first two Superman films were over that mark as well).
Anyone want to take a guess at whether that will change by the end of 2020?
Somehow I don't think Gotham City Sirens will be the one to do it

Never mind. Batman really is shooting next spring after all. Apparently ben affleck finally did confirm it

I'd say Batman has the biggest chance, going off Ben's track record, but apparently Live by Night is a dud so.....

Hey man, I just want to see the first half-decent portrayal of Catwoman on the silver-screen.
(And no, I don't consider Michelle Pfieffer's immortal resurrected secretary and Anne Hathaway running around in Julie Neymar's outfit with that ridiculous headpiece to be definitive Catwoman portrayals)

If Justice League isn't at least halfway decent, the DCEU can miss me going forward. Not even good Affleck directed Batman flicks can keep me interested in the universe as a whole.
Iron-man came close with a 79.As far as I can tell, the only two Marvel/DC (live action) movies to break an 80 on Metacritic in the past 30 years were The Dark Knight and Spider-Man 2 (the first two Superman films were over that mark as well).

In the near future, maybe Affleck's Batman or Coogler's Black Panther will do it.
Considering how Nolan usually writes female characters, what we got in DKR was surprisingly okay. I agree the costume was shitty though.

Catwoman plays the hypocrite trying to convince lovesick Harley she can ditch her dead-end relationship with her toxic beau and become a strong independent woman, while Poison Ivy... I dunno, pretends to do plant science and conjures vine monsters by gyrating for thirty minutes on-screen.
Special guest appearances by Damaged Joker, Batfleck's stunt double, and Katana, who i hear they advise not getting killed by, as her sword traps the souls of its victims.
$800 million take guaranteed.

This is a horrible idea.
Not the date, but Shazam.
His name is SHAZAM. How could that be anything but a box office failure?
Because it will have THE ROCK
Also, kids would eat it up if done right. Even more so than some comics now.

I doubt Warner Bros. aren't that fucking stupid to cast Megan Fox + I imagine Paramount has her on contract for future Turtle films
Bru you u posted a link by comic book.com that's sourced by bleedingcool. Cmon.
....what? are you serious? you dont deserve the marvel family. or tawky tawny
This is the supposed reasoning that BleedingCool (lol) uses to argue their point...
Hard evidence. HARD. EVIDENCE.

I'll only watch if it's like that Batman episode where they kidnap Bruce Wayne to go shopping.

Yeah, we're gonna need more credible sources than that.
So what you mean is "I want to see my Catwoman?" Fair enough. But those versions were great regardless.
Mmm....agree to disagree, for the most part.
Michelle Pfieffer wasn't Catwoman. She was an immortal secretary who looked like she was quietly suffocating in taped up bin-liners. That's not Selina Kyle. Same with Halle Berry's super-powered cosmetics clerk. Both takes binned the character's central appeal as an every-day, normal woman who just so happens to get a kick out of stealing jewels.
I couldn't stand Anne Hathaway's take either, but I will grant you that that had a lot more to do with Anne Hathaway's performance and the costuming then it did with the character not being written appropriately for the character.
But still, jesus.
Jesus Christ.

She doesn't really need to be younger considering Batman's age.
Also deadpool doesn't really matter,
She voiced Black Canary back on Justice League
Talia in DC's dtv movies
was Gideon on the first season of Flash...
However she is currently a main character on Gotham(Leslie Thompkins).
I mean voice work is a totally different situation. Her being on Gotham may hamper the possibility, though. Always dug her since V.

This is a nutty idea and so I am in. Harley was a high-point in SS and more Catwoman is always good. Good to see DCEU get to a girl power movie so early in their slate. Possible sexiness, too, a good thing for the genre.
Despite the bizarrely watchable misfire of Suicide Squad, I like the direction that these b-team flicks might take the DCEU. Unlike the somber and relatively high-brow MoS and BvS, these team-ups are on the trashier side; they're comic-bookier in a generic way that dispenses with the high-falutin' aspirations of Snyder's top-shelf offerings. I think that it's healthy for the DCEU to have these modes to juggle. Might keep things fresh.

Anne Hathaway is by far my favorite adaptation of the character ever. I loathe Pfieffer's portrayal of Catwoman, both her mannerisms and her outfit (dear lord). Pfieffer is by far the worst part of the otherwise extraordinarily excellent Returns, and it's so sad to see such a big part of the film mishandled.Mmm....agree to disagree, for the most part.

Hathaway just slayed. She was funny, cunning, badass, independent, and sleek, everything that I could want from a Catwoman. Also nobody called her Catwoman and her outfit SLAYED!!! AWESOME<3
Could be wrong, but I'm not expecting another in the series due to how the last performed.
There won't be a third Turtles film in that particular iteration of the franchise.
But given how the modern studio system works now (and how little Paramount has in it's tank) they'll just reboot it in a few years anyway.
What, the bladed heels didn't do it for ya?
I'll admit, her stabbing the dude and cracking the joke about them got a smile from me.
I think my bigger qualm with the costume was the fact that she probably couldn't cut her hair because she was going to be doing Les Mis, and Fantine having her hair cut on-screen would be a harder sell if it was just a wig. Catwoman being such an involved character and having this long flowing hair just feels so wrong...

First image is from the tail end of the 2013-2016 run. It's mostly just dumb hijinks, but it's light and appropriately goofy (until it comes to that later bit with her confronting the Joker). It's not great? Has its moments though.
The second image is from the Injustice: Gods Among Us tie-in comic series, and is a far better read. If you want to see the DC Universe go down in flames in the most overthetop way, it's fantastic.
It also has one of the most shockingly good Harley Quinn moments in maybe the history of the character... (Not really plot spoilers, but it's a good character moment)
Mad Love is also considered the quintessential go-to Harley story. It was written by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm and pretty directly adapted by them for the animated series.
Well on the plus side, atleast this time he won't be fucking the daughter of one of his best friends...
Fucking Azzarello/Timm

Honestly I don't care what the Catwoman costume looks like(well besides the Halle Berry costume),
they better get her characterization right which honestly is going to be a huge issue.
50% or more of the time the comics can't even get her right.
Arkham version is a decent base.
Telltale's Catwoman is probably the definitive adaptation currently(without playing chapter 5 yet).

They cast a Louis that's almost 10 years older than Clark/Superman so why would they do that?

I doubt it but an appropriate Catwoman in the context of this Batman would be mid 30-40.
Would be a bit weird for a 10+ year older Selina to be hanging with Harley imo.
Also hope Ivy is bit more anti-hero than an irredeemable villain.
I don't think older friends are weird. Especially when you're over a certain age.
Razgriz-Specter

Realistically I agree,
but when that younger friend is Harley Quinn its a bit of a narrow window imo.
Honestly though I have mostly always enjoyed Sirens, the premise has always been goofy to me.
I guess I was the only one who liked this scene...that batgirl is hot.
Yep. And so weird that comic book fans rage against something that's clearly an elseworlds covdelt.
