On this episode of Comic Movie-10, the Kane brothers discuss the recent news about Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck leavening the DCEU. These two are currently playing Superman and Batman respectively. Joe and Dan recall growing up with these beloved characters and vent some frustrations with the recent portrayals in the current run of movies such as Superman “Man Of Steel”, “Batman V Superman” and The Justice League”.

Pointing out many highlights from the franchise so far, they go on to site the success of the Wonder Woman movie. Although some of the other films that are in the DCEU have not had the box office power that that film did by no means were any of them flops.

There are also many movies to come from DC such as Wonder Woman 84, A Flash movie and this December the Aquaman Movie. Keeping the train rolling for the universe are there any signs of a total reboot. One option that was talked about was just plainly starting over. The downside to that was losing actors that have already proven themselves in the films. Joe and Dan site how Gal Gadot and Jason Mamoa have knocked it out of the park and they can’t wait to see more from them. Rebooting the series would be a giant mistake to lose the rest of the characters. They do say that they look forward to seeing more of Ezra Millers Flash.

There rumors of the departure originate from several different places. First is that Ben Affleck has become a liability to the studio due to him reentering rehab for the third time. Henry Cavill posted a video on his Instagram showing him raising up and lowering a Superman doll to the tune of “Blue Danube” performed by barking dogs. “In our opinions neither of these things should warrant a rumor of them leaving, what is this middle school?”

The brothers discuss the possible additions to the Justice League that could possibly save the run such as Green Lantern, Martian Man Hunter and the Green Arrow. The Curiosity is if they add other characters would this keep the franchise running.

This week, on Comic Movie-10, Joe and Dan Kane discuss the most recent DC comic movie Justice League, which is widely regarded as a flop at the box office. During this podcast, the brothers give their possible explanations for why this movie bombed in its nearly three-month run and why DC movies, in general, have paled in comparison to the recent Marvel films.

Both Joe and Dan agree that DC has released some incredible movies, including Tim Burton’s version of Batman, and the most recent Batman franchise, The Dark Knight. However, it is noticeably obvious that since the conclusion of The Dark Knight trilogy, DC has failed to present the same excitement to their audiences. Justice League is just another example of the many DC movies that have not been well received.

One theory explored in this episode is that unlike DC, Marvel films have managed to become completely connected. The brothers point out how DC films feel disjointed from one another, as their characters and their worlds never collide. The belief here is that DC films are bound to fail when compared to Marvel films. This is because viewers enjoy the consistency between Marvel movies, which allow them to track their favorite comic book characters from one movie to the next, or even one television series to the next.

Another theory that is contemplated is the fact that Justice League had two separate directors. Zack Snyder began directing the film, however he left half way through, citing personal reasons. Joss Whedon then replaced Snyder. Although both directors are talented and well respected, each man has his own style and this could have certainly contributed to the feelings of disjunction in the movie.

Lastly, Joe and Dan explore their feelings toward the introduction of new characters, and the absence of classic comic book characters that have long been fan favorites. They discuss how this may not be a major issue for those who are not true fans of the old school comics, but how regardless, the new characters’ lack of depth leads to a dull presentation.

The Kane brothers are interested in hearing your opinions on the movie and their theories, along with your own. After watching, be sure to leave your comments, opinions, and questions, and as always, make sure to tune in to the next episode of Comic Movie-10.
