Now that the board has moderators and will not be closing - want to make sure that it doesn't come to closing because I do feel that the board has a lot of potential - so here are a few ideas that I have off the top of my head - please feel free to list any further ideas

- canon|upcoming projects thread?
- Survivors
- Watches

Static Waves

Thanks for starting this


agreed. I think other franchises having a single thread makes sense.


For me, because its a DCEU board I think we should definitely have character/actor threads for the DCEU versions. Those are going to be the most active ones in general because they are the current versions we have in our minds.

I think movie threads/tv threads for other DC versions can function as a place to talk about the other versions of these characters. Chris Reeves' Superman can be in the Superman Tetralogy thread, etc. It's inevitably going to happen that way anyway. Plus, we have the general discussion threads for that as well.


I think there are a few threads right now open that are duplicates though... Like these two threads could probably be combined?

I disagree about those two being combined because General DC is where we can talk about faves: fave adaption? Favorite character and favorite adaption? Plus the same for relations

Other dynamic is something like Team's like Suicide Team as a group and same with JL unless we are going to provide individual team threads

Plus like Flag/June can be discussed in the thread unless we are gonna give them a thread. What about Flag and Katana

Character threads are extremely tricky I can agree of having current DCEU actors in title but it's gonna be hard NOT to combine past adaptions with current

It's why I feel we need to figure a flow out. There's a sizeable list of characters can list that have 3 different versions or more from adaptions

Static Waves

Got it! Maybe we can just add a title for the other dynamics thread that says "A place to discuss other relationships [family, romantic, friendship, teams] that don't already have a thread!" or something like that to make it clear.

Can we also maybe make that thread an "Other Characters and Dynamics" Thread? Thoughts on that?

idk see it as a problem tbh. The DCEU versions are the ones that are going to be talked about the most because they have the most recent movies. And I don't see comparison of, for example, Ben's Batman to Keaton's Batman as OT for a Batman/Bruce/Ben thread?

If I want to talk just about Michael Keaton's Batman, I'm going to go to the Tim Burton movie threads and talk about him in the context of that series. If I want to talk about Batman in general, I would go to the DC general thread?



Just my thought process on that.

crash landing

I already created other characters but will absolutely update the dynamics to be more clear tomorrow

I see and understand your POV and agree on putting DCEU actor names into the title

I just sorta disagree on comparison where yes we have those franchise threads where in theory we could talk about say Keaton's version

It's just me where TDK and Ben's could be compared especially where al others have been origins without playing the old man Bruce card like Ben's

Then comparison alone of how Henry's is a much darker and different adaption of Superman compared to Chris Reeves that had the goofy Clark. Or even Smallvilles where he didn't even have suit until finale OR Dean's showing an already with Lois with being a married couple

It's where I'm trying to figure flow process cause franchise threads could not be about the main character but just the whole. Like TDK has so much in depth related both Batman but villains|theme

Static Waves

Can we combine these? Is it really going to be that different in terms of discussion?




The only thing I feel pretty strongly about is having DCEU characters/actors together, because this is a DCEU board and they are the most recent versions and should have their own threads.

Otherwise, I tend to lean towards the less threads the better. It's easier for discussion that way, otherwise I feel like I never know where to discuss anything and it makes conversation a lot less organic. I don't think Batman in general needs his own thread; I can talk about Batman generally from a comparison perspective in the General DC thread or in whatever movie thread is already made. Or talk about past versions of Lois in the Superman Tetralogy thread.

Hope you haven't seen my original post cause this is an add in I'm going to watch Suicide Squad either some or all of it. Been a LONG day and I feel we need a 3rd or more person in this conversation. So I'll return in the morning after hopefully a goodnight sleep considering slept 7pm-midnight and been up without a nap plus group session therapy this afternoon

So I wanted to say Static Wave I like you - don't think we've really crossed paths other than a little on Gal BUT I really like you. I'm discussion driven and love how we have kept this civil plus respectful in here. We are respecting each other's opinions while trying to put this flow discussion|debate to rise

Right now I think we have some of it sorted aka keeping DCEU characters with their actor names in titles. So I think we need more people to come into the discussion related to the rest So I'll check on the status tomorrow cause tired and want SS and a goodnight sleep

Not really big on seeing combination of Other Characters and Dynamics together in a single thread I've always seen them separate - not opposed but further opinions from others like I know Tia later will come and add her two cents

ITA on the keeping actor names in the threads of the characters that are involved with DCEU it is what is current and I do agree actor names

I'm just trying to settle on how there's no way it will be kept to these DCEU versions alone. Yes we have our spaces of single threads for past franchises

My thing is like I mentioned in Lex Luthor is I can list 3 movie versions related to Gene Gackman and Kevin Spacey plus the new one. Michael from SV was remarkable. Than not sure if Lex was in LnC. So if he was that's 5 plus CwTV could introduce Lex related to Lena and Lillian

So for like Batman there's Keatan|Christian and Ben. Then Val and George plus the one from Gotham. Plus Chris Reeves|Dean Cain|Tom Wellings|Brandon Routh and Henry

So just trying to determine how we are going to go forward on the flow of us there's current actors playing these characters. But so many of them have half a dozen or close too other adaptions. So in say Bruce's thread could be that we could bounce between any one of them or same with Clark or Lex or even Joker which i can think of 3 versions

So I'm with you on making it actor to character of current BUT how do we want to make it look to new comers of our openness to say discuss ANY version current or pst adaptions

eternalfate

My thought process, all the DCEU characters should have their own thread with their name on it because the board is mainly the DCEU board, even if I see this as my DC board that I always wanted, which was why before this board existed, I was going to create a Justice League campaign board. But that's besides the point.

I feel that Gene Hackman from the Christopher Reeve movies can be discussed on that thread.
I feel Michael Rosenbaum can be discussed on the Smallville board.

That is the whole reason for the general discussion thread for all the OTHER shows and movies.

I feel the DC Comics. DC appreciation and other threads can be the place where these characters be talked about because it will just make the other threads get more post and more traffic.

I think the names in the title of the thread isn't bad, because it helps KNOW which thread is with. Like once I see Christopher Reeve thread, I know it's the Superman board from the 70s. When I see the the name Tim Burton, I know the Batman movies I'm looking for.

So, I feel everything is sorted out pretty well right now.

I feel we should WAIT to see what the future brings. If like a few months from now, if so many fans are upset and wants to change this to ONLY a DC board, I'm sure we can ask one of the main managers of and they'd be happy to make that change.

It happened to the Chicago Fire board, it got changed to represent ALL the Chicago Boards.
So, we should right now work with what we have and see what happens. I love the organization of everything right now.

Technically that was the plan, I just named it Christopher Reeve for people could know which movies it was. But it's a general discussion for the first 4 Superman movies.

I agree.

So pretty just gotta go with the flow

Character Threads to include actor names of DCEU and if other adaptions get discussed just go wth the follow

Some ideas for threads

DC Animated Movies
DC Animated Cartoons

Or do we want to create a single of DC Animated [Cartoons|Movies]

What about teams?

The Justice League Team
The Suicide Squad Team

Men of DC
Women of DC

BlackSapphire

Definitely, I couldn't agree more.
To me, it's important that we concentrate on what we have now and make it work. It's still early days and still early to think of ways to develop the board.
What we have already is so good. Why fix something if it isn't broken is my motto.
However I do love your enthusiasm with ideas and ways to make the most of this board.

Decided one more time to try to get my point across

Yes we have individual franchise threads where we can speak about those franchises and I'm excited to do that. Where we have little corners to pay tribute to all Past|Current|Future. My point is comparison regarding so many characters have so many adaptions

Batman [6 live action]: Just thinking of the fact that we've got Gotham showing a young Bruce Wayne becoming Batman. Than we've got The Dark Knight that really feels like a beginning|middle and end. I've already seen plenty of comparison against the fact that many perfer Ben's because of showing that he would never leave and never not be Batman

Superman [5 live action]: We've had Smallville showing Clark in a journey full without wearing the uniform of being Superman. Christopher|Brandon] were more beginning and than continue. Lois and Clark is like from the little I know has Clark and Lois as a married couple, so really a middle. Than we've got DCEU that's a much darker verison and completely different

I'm just using the 2 main's but there's so many other characters that I feel that could have comparisons happen Lex Luthor|The Joker|Lois Lane etc etc than we've got some other comparion's that can happen Cat Woman|The Flash|Penguin|The Riddler etc etc

So the point I'm really really trying to get across is we should try to keep DCEU characters of just those characters. Like example is Ben's version thread should just be speaking of Ben's version or same with Henry's version. Leave the comparison of other versions out, so for example TDK we just speak of Bale's version. Same with the franchise threads we have - so keep it on the discussion of the thread.

Additionally the strong point I'm trying to make is that I do feel some further threads would be a good idea. Trying to get a flow going where comparison stays out of individual character|actor places to speak but we build dedicated places to channel our wanting to compare versions or just speak to how cool say Gotham's is a teenager compared to other versions

General Bruce Wayne|Batman
General Clark Kent|Superman

Those are the main ones right now thinking cause of how many different adaptions THAT ARE DIFFERENT TO EACH OTHER.

I also feel maybe General Lex Luther who has had 4-5 and can see 3 different adaptions related to Gene|Kevin are similiar but Michael's feels very different especially like an origins. Than there's the new one that is more like The Joker

Speaking of The Joker - 3 different versions and all 3 are different from each other

So those are just small examples of what I'm trying to get at DCEU|Franchise threads should stick to just that version but where my flow and trying to explain myself is that I feel there's away to maybe separate to make those just to what they are meant to be while finding a way to show somewhere that is open to all versions of a character to be compared

I know we are only less than a week into the board but I do think maybe we should speak about having the board changed to DC Comics or something not restricting to DCEU. Yes its what is current - but than again argument sense, CWTV|Gotham are also current

I just feel this should be labeled as a generic DC board - I love what we have done about the past and current tv staying within single threads. All past movies of other franchises don't need individual threads - so just current|future individual threads for movies|characters. Plus general comics|animated as single threads is a very good idea too. Don't think either should get further than that because most people are LIVE ACTION watchers - where the comic readers or animated watchers can have their space

I just love the idea of to speak no other REAL DC place because yes all 4 CWTV have their own boards. But this is unlike Avengers or X-Men where those again are restricting within Marvel. So I think we should take advantage of this board plus I feel that DC has an "advantage" over say Marvel affiliated to like I've listed - just look over the years of all the different actors that have played these characters. So many adaptions

Static Waves

I think it's going to be inevitable that at some point in any of these threads, you are going to compare versions of the same character. But I don't see that as an OT thing?

I still think of this as a DCEU board, so all the individual character threads should be DCEU related with the actor attached (including Joker/Lex Luther/etc). And the other general movie/show threads outside of DCEU can be places to talk about the characters in their specific DC movie/show threads + there is a DC general thread and a comparison thread and other dynamics thread.



I think the way the board is structured right now works for me, but again, I'm only one poster.

crash landing

Mainly have said my peace and will let the discussion continue from hopefully other posters Tia will be the best one to get an opinion from because she will most likely understand my POV and where I'm coming from. If she agrees to leave it as is than we can just see what becomes

Some ideas for threads

DC Animated Movies
DC Animated Cartoons

Or do we want to create a single of DC Animated [Cartoons|Movies]

What about teams? Movie threads or other dynamics?

The Justice League Team
The Suicide Squad Team

Men of DC
Women of DC

Well we've got General DC Discussion but not a comparison thread with how I made that original thread just the general discussion

Other Characters | Dynamics should be able to work related to other smaller related to DCEU

Dream Cast seems the most part related to characters we WANT to see within DCEU which pretty much works for me

I think the board structure is good with the DCEU characters having the actor names and each future movie getting their own thread plus I like our little franchise threads

Static Waves

I do like the idea of a DC Animated [Cartoons|Movies] thread and a team thread for both the JL and the SS!
