SUPERMAN: LEGACY Will Film On Location In Cincinnati, Sparking Hall Of Justice Rumors

Holy crap maybe I can get some bts photos and film lol

@Origame - For what it's worth, I'd rather see a real building used. Maybe a very elaborate miniature (bigature like Lord of the Rings used?). I've had my fill of CGI buildings. They never look real. They come close. Some look darn realistic, but they never look 100% real.

@vectorsigma - I think it's great it's in Ohio. Supes started there and now it's come full circle. Plus, Cincinatti is an awesome town! (and I have relatives there so I'll see if he can snap some pics for me and I'll share them all with you guys!)

@lazlodaytona - oh please do share if they get it! I hope this rumor is true, always good to see real surroundings.

@lazlodaytona - as a fellow Cincinnati all star, your relatives are cool with me haha

@TheVisionary25 - The Justice League movie used it to.

@Forthas - you are confusing this with Cap 4 (But a Hulk film in disguise)

Gunn is great in ensembles while keeping the main character solid. Hell he even had Rocket be the main guy in gotg3 without feeling jarring given Quill is the lead

@Forthas - Man, the amount of anguish y'all experience over the idea of a Superman movie having other superheroes in it. I promise it'll be okay.

@Epc11223 - There are only so many minutes in any movie. The more characters you have cast, the less each individual character has especially in proportion to the movie's run time. That is math!

@Forthas - we don’t even know how long the movie is. If it’s a 2 hour and 30 minute movie, I’m sure Superman be in it. Plus, it’s not an origin film which I think is a good thing. We can dive right into the story instead having to introduce him. Typically in an origin film, it takes a good 45 minutes to see the character as his superhero persona.

@ClintThaHamster - couldn’t agree more.

@Epc11223 - That is great that you have more important issues that take up your attention - I applaud you! But this site is for discussing comic book films which is what I was doing. This nonsense about we don't know what the film is going to be so we can't form opinions is simply wrong. We know the director and his style of film making, we know the caliber of actors that are cast and the source materials they draw from namely DC comics. So I have a good idea of what to expect.

@ClintThaHamster - You can ruminate about how this is just a movie and pretend there are no consequences. But actually there are. When Warner Brothers launched its DCEU film strategy in 2013, the average stock price for the company was 39.5571. You know what it is now...9.65. Part of that includes other non film revenue streams but a lot of it reflects the failures of its DC properties which was the largest segment of its film budget for about a decade. So because many people such as yourself said "Oh don't worry about the quality of these films...its just a meaningless movie" producers, directors and actors have lost their once promising jobs, people have lost a lot of their investments, the DC brand has lost the confidence of its fans and a once proud film studio continues to be an acquisition target because it is so weakened. You think maybe...just maybe...a better thought out plan and film product would have helped prevent a lot of those consequences . Maybe the stock price might be a lot higher and maybe fans could might have found more pride that their favorite franchise was properly handled instead of constantly being retooled and now rebooted.

Are there more important things to think about...of course...but people love these characters and to just say to them that they should not worry about something they love because it is not the most important thing in the world makes me question why are you even on this site?

@Epc11223 - I am not a fan of James Gunn's film approach. I find it juvenile and I think it appeals to a limited audience that finds quirky and base level comedy amusing. That is why Gunn who was part of a film franchise that was recently averaging a billion dollars per film was never able to match that box office haul. His venture into DC with Suicide Squad was a bomb and Peacemaker seems like an after thought and despite the proclamation that it was successful its viewer ship numbers are mysteriously not available.

@Epc11223 - I liked Black Adam and even the Justice Society of America but, I would have rather they focused the film more on Black Adam. The film glosses over questions that an origin story should answer but we can't do that since there is not enough time because we have to introduce the Justice Society of America

@Forthas - you are obviously short-sided

@ClintThaHamster -

“It only started cratering with Zaslav came in and started trashing the place. Very little to do with the DCEU.”

No! it had a lot to do with the DCEU. The film division is probably one of the three pillars of the company, and for a time the DCEU was the biggest part of that. I think what was lifting their stock was there association with AT&T. But that was short lived and in part because the film division was not meeting expectations (namely Marvel money) it was deemed a poor investment and it was sold off to David Zaslav.

"I'm saying 'Don't make up reasons to hate something before it comes out.' Everytime they roll out some news that makes me go 'Cool!' I see a bunch of dudes like you just Eeyoring around, saying 'I just know it's going to be terrible.'"

What makes you think I "make up" reasons to hate something. In 2013 I wrote an article on this site outlining WHY I think that the direction that the DCEU was headed in was the wrong one. which you are welcome to read here

https://comicbookmovie.com/justice-league/editorial-not-including-the-dark-knight-trilogy-in-a-dc-universe-is-a-recipe-for-disaster-a82733

I support my views with logic and facts. Before the DCEU got off the ground I literally wrote that the way they were headed would be a "recipe for disaster" and all of it has born out to be as i thought...actually worse than I thought. On the contrary for another Warner Brothers film - when Dune was announced and I saw the director and the production team around it (Legendary Pictures) I said BEFORE production had even started that this iteration od Dune would be to the space opera what the Dark Knight Trilogy was to super hero films. So far so good...The point being speculation based on a feel for the audience, history, and the talent behind the films has nearly always given me a good idea of what to expect. I am sorry that you always feel optimistic about any and every film that comes out. I suspect you have had a lot of dissapointment...

"Those movies were bad from the jump"

... but I choose to temper my expectations and when I see an almost obvious train wreck about to happen I comment on it.

@Forthas - Keep coping

@vectorsigma - thank you my young apprentice
