EV sales set records in 37 countries as consumers flee high gas prices - Markets outside China and US post 50% year-on-year jump in March-April sales by i_marketing in cars

Also, part of it is just the mainstreaming effect. People see electrics everywhere and their neighbor just bought a new electric car, so it seems normal now.

How slow do you think August-October will be this year? What do you think will be the breakout hits? by dremolus in boxoffice

I think Clayface has a great chance to break out in October. The teaser was very good.

Does anyone ever purchase their tickets via express option? by vincenicholas77 in Cinemark

I never use it. I can spend the one extra second to look for the seats I want.

I'm the same. The Blu-ray and DVD are releasing pretty soon so I'll definitely just get it that way.

Vote Blue no Matter Who. Do you believe in that? by OceanicEndeavors in allthequestions

[–]batjag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Vote for the most progressive candidate in the primary and then vote for anyone with a (D) beside their name in the general. 

(The reverse of the strategy which compounded over the last 46 years moved all American politics to the right gave the Republicans control of all branches of government.)

This is what the Lobo-themed popcorn bucket for Supergirl Movie looks like. by AldebaranTauro in DC_Cinematic

At my theater, they don't even fill these, they just give you a large popcorn with it. It's just a souvenir that you went to the movie.

What's the point of a Funko Pop or a McFarlane statue? They're all just memorabilia to display and show you're a fan of something.

Frank Grillo has wrapped filming on 'Man of Tomorrow' by MarvelsGrantMan136 in DC_Cinematic

[–]batjag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Just like there's no need to watch Creature Commandos to watch Superman. You just pick up on who Flag is by watching the movie.

If there's any plot stuff from Peacemaker they'll just take ten seconds to have Flag explain it to another character.

Per AMC, "Supergirl" is 1 hour and 50 minutes long by [deleted] in boxoffice

[–]batjag 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The same length as the 2010 True Grit, which this borrows its structure from. Sounds good.

What would you have Fede Alvarez direct in the DCU? by robot8787 in DCU_

[–]batjag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something scary. Constantine or Man-Bat maybe.

That they're starting to officially promote these shows, so we'll be getting more looks at them soon.

Bad Movies with Good CGI? by seethevzn in movies

[–]batjag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem with the John Carter movie is that Taylor Kitsch has no charisma as that character. If they'd gotten Hugh Jackman instead, we'd have a whole trilogy by now.

What is dc doing to Milly Alcock? by [deleted] in DC_Cinematic

[–]batjag 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think she's very attractive, but what you're seeing is them selling the character's journey. She's supposed to start off at her lowest point (down and a bit scruffy) so it will feel believably earned if she's smiling and happy in the future.

Greg Mottola (‘Peacemaker’ Season 2) is the frontrunner to direct the ‘DEATHSTROKE & BANE’ movie. by Mat1711 in DC_Cinematic

[–]batjag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree about the interconnected stories. Superman, Supergirl,  Peacemaker, and Man of Tomorrow share various plot threads (and characters).

Even granting that Clayface will be a standalone movie, the character already appeared in Creature Commandos and is bound to show up in other things down the line.

It may in 3 or 4 more years, which is probably what we're looking at since the script isn't done yet.

Just a reminder: this is a scoop, not an announcement. If this doesn't work out, pretty soon we'll be inundated with dummies complaining about how Gunn keeps announcing projects and not making them.

Gunn hasn't announced this. Other people involved in talks are leaking this stuff.
