After working for both Marvel (The Amazing Spider-Man, Civil War, Spider-Man: Back in Black, Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer and Thor)and DC Comics (The Brace and the Bold, Teen Titans, Wonder Woman, Superman and Before Watchmen), comic book writer J. Michael Straczynski has some harsh words regarding DC’s efforts in bringing their titles to the big screen.
During
is NYCC panel Straczynski spoke candidly about Warner Bros. plans for the
future.
"I’ve
talked to the people at Warner Brothers and said “What is wrong with you
people?” They think that they have a very narrow bench – Superman, Batman and
then nobody else. We’re trying to get them to understand that we have a really
good bench of characters if you treat them properly."
And
because he also writes for tv and film Straczynski had some ideas.
"I
would love to see the Flash. Ever see The Man With The X-Ray Eyes? There’s a
scientist in pursuit of knowledge and information and receives this power and
uses it to try and see deeper and deeper what’s going on on the physical scale
and the metaphysical scale, trying to burrow through to the core of the
universe to understand things better. Make it obsessive like that I think you
could make a really good film about the Flash."
"There’s
a fan made trailer for Wonder Woman online. Have you all seen that? Is that not
well done? And that’s what the Wonder Woman film should be. If you treated the
Wonder Woman film the way we treated the Thor movie with some seriousness and
also focus on her family you’d get a really good film out of that."
Straczynski
also had some criticism on Man of Steel.
"I
thought that it had one fight more than it should have had. And it was a good
movie that could have been a great movie had they put more time in on the
characters. IN the end, I don’t care how good your effects are or the battles
or the CGI, if we don’t care about the characters you got nothing and nowhere
to go."
