Bring it on down to Green Lanternville...

[Abraham Smashington]

I still dug it.

[Abraham Smashington]

Probably helped that I know NOTHING about GL.

[Anderson]

Are they really doing that separate actors as Superman/Batman like Snyder said though? If so, did they learn nothing from the Justice League: Mortal fiasco?

Plus...you know...it's retarded to spend all that money selling Cavill as the new Supes and then turn around in another year with someone else in the suit and then two/three years later there's Cavill again in a Man of Steel sequel.

They can't sign Cavill for sequels or JL until Siegel/Shuster settlement goes down. They can't move forward with any Siegel/Shuster property until settlement goes down.

But, WB can spend money like there's no tomorrow.

[Matt]

how is that whole 'settlement' playing out? Any movement?

Any movement?


The DC Reboot.
WB's madcap rush to get Man of Steel done.
The Dark Knight Rises being rushed and Nolan getting backend points for finishing early.
The Flash is getting rushed into development for a possible start of Fall 2011 (not even shitting you)
DC Animation is rushing to get Brave and the Bold episodes in the can before Dec 2012.
Lorne Michaels might be getting a cut.

I thought B&B was done as a series - good to know there'll be more episodes.

How's Lorne Michaels getting a cut?

[Matt]

I knew about some of that. I meant is there any progress on actually settling the issue, financially? Or are they just going to get as much product out there underneath the deadline, collect their paydays, and re-negotiate with the estate?

Wow.

That is ridiculous.

[Matt]

Talk about QUALITY.

Go ahead...talk about it.

Also, what does GL need to rake in (domestic and foreign) in order to at least make its money back/turn a profit? At what monetary point does the stigma of 'flop' go away? We keep hearing 300 million for a price tag, but is that really IT?

[BillyG]

I read this weekend it was a known budget of $150, but likely more like $200, plus whatever advertising was. $300mil seems a good number they need to hit. Insert laughter.

[Captain Russ]

Most expensive abortion ever.

[Abraham Smashington]

I'm still waiting on my ALL HAMMOND CUT.

GL will bomb. It has to make 40 million during the next weekend to break even. Between Cars 2 and Bad Teacher, that won't happen. Then you've got Transformers 3 on the 29th. It bombed.

Lorne Michaels helped Shuster get the original 1978 deal underway. He helped pay for the initial lawsuit to be filed.

At the time, Shuster was his father-in-law.
