Aquaman is debuting here on the 13th, Thursday. So far one theater nearby is showing it but it's all IMAX 3D (and I think they still charge separate for the glasses @o@)
Alternatively one theater that is a 30ish minute drive from my workplace has it 2D IMAX and if I leave work early I could reach the theatre in time to watch the movie.

Just got back from movie theater in Shanghai. The crowd really liked it across the board. A surprising amount of women in the audience compared to the other superhero films I've seen here. Like well over half of the audience. My GF definitely approved of the lead - she practically dragged me to the theater. I walked away from it pretty let down, but I've been burnt out of super hero movies in general around the second Iron Man.
Here's hoping the GLC movie at least has Jessica and they put Hal on ice as well
The best way to make everyone happy would be to have John and Jessica as partners and have Hal there as a veteran or retired Lantern.
My personal dislike of Hal aside, I think using him just doesn't align with where WB is going (more diverse characters, more women). That said, the guy does have his fans and even I would feel weird if he were just totally absent.
Johns is writing it, so they won't :/
It's definitely gonna Hal and John
Her and Cavill are both gone imo. Supes will get rebooted with Bats. At least I'll never have to sit though Eisenberg's awful Lex again.
That's my King! So happy to see him doing great, fuck all the people who spout Superfriends jokes. Arthur is a fucking great character who is finally getting his due.
I'd be fine with Jessica with any of John, Kyle, or Simon, but I realize the odds of Simon ever showing up on the big screen are slim to none. Hal as an absent almost mythological type character would be an interesting take, play up the Best Lantern Ever angle have it where he disappeared in the aftermath of some Crisis.
Johns did create Jessica, so I could see him pushing for her inclusion.
Naw
If you're able to get other franchises going, it won't matter if in limbo.
Same way folks just kind of go with the TV verse
In the Bronco Cut, he's Hank Henshaw. Little ADR here and there, it'll work!
My ideal setup is a Hal in his 40s, who went rogue to track down Sinestro in some uncharted sectors, with the thrust of the story trying to track him down. You have John as the leader of the expedition, experienced, who knew and worked with Hal in the past. Jessica is year three or so of the gig, with Kyle tagging along as her partner, who literally just arrives and is thrown into it. Then not to be too human heavy, throw Kilowog and Arisa in there. Maybe they pick up Saint Walker along their journey.
I think from the outset they need to establish that they Guardians are flawed, possibly with Manhunters being the main antagonist force, and that other rings exist around the universe.
Nah, you'll get your Lethal Weapon in space with Hal/John and you'll like it.
I'm up for whatever John and future director take is tbh

Love Amy Adams but her Lois Lane was a charisma vacuum. She had zero chemistry with Henry Cavill.
Though a lot of the fault is also on the writing.
I'm probably an exception in that I really liked Amy Adams as Lois, at least in MoS and BvS. Granted, I like Adams in everything. But stuff like her investigating and figuring out Clark's identity is great.
It looks like it'll be to WB and DC's strength to focus on other characters and characters the general public doesn't know much about. Listen I love Batman, but we've seen a lot of him over the years. A LOT. Superman to a lesser extent. WW never graced the big screen and her movie did well.
Aquaman hasn't been taken serious by the general public and this movie is looking to change that. Shazam is another one that the general public doesn't know much about, but the the movie just looks like good fun for the family.
Between Spider-Verse getting incredible praise and seeing this tweet,
It's a reminder that Lord&Miller were involved with The Flash before WB execs did their thing.

Having been to a recent con with Momoa as a guest
That line of ladies for him is a sight
This girl I just started dating wants to do a DECU marathon in lead up to Aquaman (we got tix for the 15th). She's only seen Wonder Woman, but our schedules are crazy this week so we won't be able to knock them all out. Gonna do Man of Steel tomorrow then BvS:UC Wed or Thurs, JL on Saturday afternoon, Aquaman Saturday night.
I don't believe so. Their involvement was akin to Spider-verse, in that it would've been written and produced by them. Solo shut the door on them directing Flash or Spider-Verse, but whereas Spider-verse kept them in the process with other directors helming, The Flash was a clean break.
Some of those MCU fanatics are forreal weird. Like, what an absolutely amazing year for Marvel stuff. Black Panther was above and beyond, made $700M domestic, super strong critical reception, will be nominated for an Oscar; Infinity War was massive, biggest OW domestic, $2B worldwide; outside of MCU you have a great Spider-Man game, a great Spider-verse movie, a great final season of Daredevil... and yet they seem more concerned with Aquaman finding success as well. I mean, they're fringe weidos like the Snyder or Bust folks, but still, they're on this shit:
Yup. It's why I never bought the whole "People only rag on DC cause they want good movies" thing from a lot of folks. I think it's definitely true for the average person, but for the stans who tie their personal identities to these films? It's just like how the console warriors over on gaming side will shit on whatever hot new exclusive is coming out for the other system(s). "My favorite thing is the only thing allowed to succeed/be liked."Some of those MCU fanatics are forreal weird. Like, what an absolutely amazing year for Marvel stuff.

The thing about Marvel and DC that makes it extra annoying is that due to one being so loved and the constantly dumped for so long on is that conversations and comparisons about the two seem to become instantly combative.
People have just gotten so weird about these movies and I'm at a point where I'm just laughing at it.
Seeing that Brightburn trailer really makes me want another Superman movie badly. WB are such cowards.
I doubt WB exec "did their thing". WB would lay out a red carpet and sacrifice a thousand Zack Snyders for a Lord and Miller Flash
Also this. They thought they chose up until that whole debacle.
