Debbie told me Supergirl has a new movie on the way and she is excited because they are saying it is going to be more true to the comics than the TV show and have a darker tone. Does that mean we can expect Green Arrow and Legends movies next? Could you imagine a Green Arrow movie with no Olicity or Felicity? It would be so fucking rad. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Interesting thought. A Flash film has been in development for a long time and now we're getting a Supergirl movie. So why not a Green Arrow movie?

Yes. It is true and I am very excited about it 'cause we finally have a chance to have a proper live adaption of 'Supergirl' that resembles the comic books instead of just a TV show that is 'Superman' with a female lead and is nothing like the majority of the 'Supergirl' comic books. I have to laugh at people now who are claiming this is a slap in the face to the creators of the 'Supergirl' show 'cause while the 'Supergirl' show has not been as bad as the awful adaption of 'Birds of Prey' that was made by people who admitted to never reading the comic books after the show was cancelled the show hasn't been a great representation of the comic books at all since they made the mistake of humanising Supergirl too much by having her arrive earlier on earth and grow up with a human Mother and Father and Sister. They also took her from being an edgy and aggressive character who was pissed off over her planet being destroyed and took out her anger on villains and made her into a nerdy Clark Kent type of character.
It is time we get a real Supergirl in live action whether it is Kara Zor-El or Linda Danvers and as most people here wouldn't be surprised my vote goes to Linda Danvers for the 'Supergirl' movie 'cause she had the biggest selling and longest running series of 'Supergirl' and we were supposed to get a Linda Danvers movie in the early 00s by Peter David himself that a sexist official high up at Warner Bros blocked from happening 'cause he didn't want an edgier Supergirl than Superman on screen. A Linda Danvers/Supergirl movie would be a Horror Superhero movie that would be completely separate from the 'Man of Steel' movies and present something different and they could have Buzz, Lilith and Carnivore as the villains with Comet and Twilight in it but from what I have been reading the New 52 will be the main inspiration which means we will probably see Superman in it when he wakes Kara and she beats him up until he convinces her he is her cousin and this won't come as a surprise but my pick is Sydney Sweeney for Supergirl. She is perfect for the role and is going to be a huge star soon.

I just thought was Kara always a maniac? because waking up realising you have powers seeing a guy who presumably resembles in some way either your aunt or uncle wearing your family sigil on his chest and who happens to share your powers and your initial instinct is to try and kill the guy? I mean I know she has a lot to process and all but still she must have been a bit mental long before she got in the pod to behave that way right?
One theory I have heard bandied about is they use Supergirl to be more like the Donner Superman because Snyder messed up Supes too much, when I heard this I busted out laughing cause if they do this I could just imagine your reaction Deb, the idea we would get 2 Supergirl adaptions and both just act as a cheap replacement for Superman, one adorable little Aussie would become a little less adorable and far more belligerent, which would amuse me atleast.
Also heard some say they shouldn't connect it to Superman which unless she's not going to adopt the name Supergirl in the film makes no sense, how do you get a Supergirl with no Superman in some way to atleast establish the character? I mean you can do a Kara Zor-El story and film but her identity as Supergirl comes from who he is.
Though it would be kind of fun maybe if they did a Supergirl film set after MOS 2 but comes out prior to it, like WW appearing in BVS then we get her backstory in WW, and we get Kara adopting the name Supergirl and doing her own thing with nothing but the occasional references to the boy scout or Kara off looking for Kandor or remnants of Krypton and her holding something dear which is a keepsake from Clark or a way to talk to him she only eyes but never opens or uses in the film, which we don't know is anything to do with him until the end of the film or in a post credit scene, then we get MOS 2 which is now a crossover film and not Supergirl being a spin off series, and so the fans of Supergirl and fans of Superman both have a films under their belt when we get to see the 2 interact for the first time, and coincidentally fight for the first time.

I don't know much about Supergirl comics. I like the TV show alright. I hope the movie is about an actual girl, ie a teenager unlike the show. The DCEU needs some young blood.

Well, to be fair you have to remember the last time Supergirl was awake Kal-El was still a baby the last time Kara laid eyes on him and she awoke to see Superman who was a lot older than the baby she remembered so I can kinda understand why she was a little taken back and found it hard to believe he was her cousin even with the symbol on his chest. She may have thought it was only a few days later and it was another Kryptonian who was working for somebody like Zod. I am not sure what they will do with the movie to be honest but most reports I have seen have stated it will be different than the show and more in line with the comic books and I believe they will go with an edgier and more aggressive character like she is in the comic books 'cause it will suit the tone of the DCEU more and help set Superman up at the same time to be the lighter one of the two. I won't be angry if they change it but I will be disappointed 'cause I can't see any reason why we can't have a Supergirl that is actually like the comic books and why female characters are treated like second class citizens like 'Catwoman' which wasn't even Selina Kyle and was nothing like Catwoman at all. Sydney Sweeney still stands as my favourite for the role and it appears she is also being listed as one of the favourites for the role too like here ![](https://s26.postimg.cc/6gpj3yeqh/cheeky.gif) ![](https://s26.postimg.cc/6gpj3yeqh/cheeky.gif) along with the actress who plays Claire in 'Supernatural.' Sydney deserves the role and says she has always wanted to be able to fly. ![](https://s8.postimg.cc/3n1bqe7qt/free_bouncy_sylveon_icon_by_kattling-d6tr6y7.gif)

I'll wait until after Aquaman and Shazam before getting excited about any new DC films. I'm not sure if they've learned their lesson yet.

I am not sure how 'Aquaman' and 'Shazam' are going to go and have far more confidence in 'Wonder Woman 2' being a hit than both of them 'cause the first movie was a success and a lot of people are waiting to see the sequel. They have said the future of DC's future films and female lead movies depends on the success of 'Wonder Woman 2' and I can see 'Wonder Woman 2' being a hit so I think we will get 'Supergirl', 'Birds of Prey' and 'Batgirl' but I am not sure about the rest. I think they are best to break them up like they are talking about doing and only keep the Bat Universe together and have the others crossover occasionally. If they go through with a 'Justice League 2' they need to make big changes. Here is an update about the 'Supergirl' movie for those who haven't seen it. Warner Bros. Reportedly Wants A Female Director For Supergirl Moviescreenrant.com/supergirl-movie-female-director/

Wonder Woman 2 should be great. I am worried about Supergirl and Birds of Prey because I am afraid Warner bros will be too closely involved and executive meddling does not make good movies,

Wonder Woman 2 should be great. I am worried about Supergirl and Birds of Prey because I am afraid Warner bros will be too closely involved and executive meddling does not make good movies, No. You are right. It doesn't but as somebody who has been waiting years to get a 'Birds of Prey' movie and not to mention a 'Supergirl' adaption that is more like the comic books I am really hoping for the best with both of them and 'Batgirl' and 'Wonder Woman' has shown the DCEU can have good movies even though others have been terrible and disappointed so I have faith they could turn out to be good movies too. I am just hoping we get some casting information soon 'cause the wait has been sooo long for that and I am surprised over how long it is taking them to choose the actresses 'cause Marvel announced Brie Larson was playing Captain Marvel back when the IMDB Boards were still open and we are still waiting to find out who is playing Batgirl when that was announced quite a while ago. I am wondering if they will go with a well known now since it was Joss who wanted an unknown and I think they are better to go with somebody already established like Teresa Palmer but she should definitely dye her hair red. Even if the actress is a woman of colour they should have the red hair. It is silly not to have it when her nickname is 'Red.' ![](https://s9.postimg.cc/j1nrcittr/emongadanceplz.gif)

They could always take a cue from The Shawshank Redemption. In the original novella Red was white man of Irish descent but in hte movie he was played by Morgan Freeman. So they had to come up for an explanation for the name and it's perfect.
BTW, where the movie was filmed at the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield. Drove there with the family for the 20th anniversary of the movie, listening to an audiobook of the novella read by Morgan Freeman. Good times.

There is nothing wrong with taking cues from Stephen King movies especially with one of the most famous adaptions of his work and I didn't know that movie was filmed close to you but Beccy and I have been to a few places here in Australia where movies and TV shows have been filmed and some of them you can't really tell 'cause they make them look so different in movies and my Aunt had a TV show filmed in the house she grew up in and she wasn't in the show but the TV show used it for a few episodes as a place where a couple lived and they paid her parents (my Great Aunt and Uncle) to use their house. ![](https://s8.postimg.cc/r2j8vdh3p/free_red_panda_icon_by_beck_sause-d45hmc2.gif)

Wow. That is a weird trend. I guess they think since it worked for Wonder Woman it will work here too.

I am not too sure about this either 'cause I just heard the 'Black Widow' movie is set to take place in the past and if that is true 'Wonder Woman', 'Wonder Woman 2', 'Supergirl', 'Captain Marvel' and 'Black Widow' will all be set in the past and that seems really repetitive and not a good idea at all like it would be one thing if it were one or two movies but when it is nearly every female superhero movie coming out I think they should really reconsider things. Hopefully 'Batgirl', 'Birds of Prey' and 'Silk' will all be set in the present. Heck, they should do something different with 'Supergirl' and have it based in the future long after Superman and Batman are dead. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/vBNySF9n/Magby_Normal_Sprite.gif)

Well Hollywood is not one for originality or seeking out the real reason something was successful. They're lazy and want simple answers.

Sounds like they are trying to make up for not having female heroes in these movies for so long and think people in the future will watch the movies and think we had all these female superheroes the years they are based in. ![O_o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/browraise.png)

It lines up perfectly but I am really not a fan of having too many female superhero movies based in the past and I think audiences won't be either if they do it with too many of them which is why 'Birds of Prey' should be in the present and 'Batgirl' should be too. Well Hollywood is not one for originality or seeking out the real reason something was successful. They're lazy and want simple answers. No. They aren't. They were at one time which is why we got so many great movies in the past but nowadays they would rather make remake after remake than take a chance on anything new and if something is successful all the studios will copy them and do the same thing which is what it was like with the music industry with boy bands and the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC weren't the first boy bands and there were a lot of others before them like Human Nature, New Kids on the Block, CDB, Take That and Boyzone to name a few but once the two of them become popular there were a million other boy bands popping up all over the world that sounded the same as them and some of those bands didn't want to be boy bands but the record labels made them 'cause they weren't willing to take a risk on the type of music they wanted to play 'cause they only wanted to stay with what they thought worked. That is how many movies are now and it is all about what they think works and not about breaking new grounds or making an impact. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/HLW4BfTd/Venonat-Normal-Sprite.gif)
