Frodo, next film will be up in in 30 minutesCool .
I'm getting more and more into Stargirl i.e. The Star Spangled Kid do to the tv show .
Kiernan Shipka and Nathan Fillion make a great Courtney and Pat combo.
I hadn't thought about that. Thanks for opening my eyesSo how do you picture the wonder twins looking?
An updated and armored view of their costumes like this
Or do you picture something more retro like this
(Cont. from first Trinity post)
All actors return from the heroes’ respective films, except for the Greek gods. It’s still charismatic people who know the art of acting. Especially the veterans.
They will have fun playing the mythological characters, to put on a performance and shine.
Hades enters the scene. That’s really cool. He wasn’t seen before. But now he appears with a bunch of the other gods. It’s fantastic to have such powerful beings in their glory.
It’s not anything like cosplay. These are truly supernatural entities. Mark my words!
Unfortunately, they all have very small parts.
Did I say that all actors return? It’s not true. Liam Aiken has left.
It’s hard to play Robin every single year with all the intense physical training. The age factor also plays in. Robin is a kid and will always be.
Warner tried to get the actor to stay by promising him the character’s journey to Nightwing.
Sure, that would make sense. Either with the Aiken or a possible return of the first actor Rollo Weeks (it was discussed among both parties, because he had an even more suitable age for Nightwing).
But the thing is, Robin’s role in the films isn’t over yet. The studio can’t ditch what they’ve mapped out for the character.
Nightwing is something different. It’s more than just switching the name in the script. A bigger re-write will be required.
So they have to find a new Robin actor.
Josh Hutcherson? He’s already Garth in Aquaman.
Logan Lerman? Can’t happen! He’s “young Bruce” in two of the previous films. There has to be a limit for how confusing things can be, lol
There was an idea to bring in a whole different kind of actor than the typical Robin one, to visually change the character. Like how Daniel Craig did with 007.
I’m not talking about characteristics here. Only the outer appearance.
The Phantom film was a Warner Bros production. How about asking the Rex King actor?
Can you imagine how happy he was when a couple of the producers for Trinity came to the Phantom set during the filming, and offered him the role along with a three-film contract?
This is sort of how Dick Grayson will look from now on:
(something I decided before Tim Drake's outing)

Supergirl appears briefly during the first scenes. She is only there for fun, not a part of the main plot.
Let’s have her show her powers in some way.
The actress is just the right one next to Hugh Jackman.
Kara talks about having received a faint signal from Dallas. But there isn’t anything at the location where seems to be coming from. This is strange! She will look further into it.
Dick Grayson is shown practicing martial arts AND gymnastics. He’s amazing.
Is the actor doing all that, or a stunt double?
Robin will no longer be a sidekick at the end. He becomes a hero on his own during the film.
His time in Amsterdam changed him.
Bizarro arrives in Metropolis and makes chaos. He’s mistaken for Superman at first.
There’s a bit destruction in his wake.
Lex Luthor and his Luthor Corp make a power suit to take down the kryptonian.

Gotham has other problems.
The two rivalling crime bosses Penguin and Sal Maroni try to get dominion over the city.
Catwoman makes the honorable Harvey Dent become Two-Face. She’s doing it to put Batman & Robin in bad light. Another “maniac” raises.
She finds it very funny.
Not seen in the film, but mentioned, is that Catwoman also caused an accident for the respected doctor Victor Fries while he was doing research. Perhaps the outcome of that can be saved for a later film?
When will Metropolis and Gotham have had enough of these freaks running around?
Are superheroes causing more problems than the solve?
It's briefly mentioned about something similar going on in Europe.
Maroni and Penguin bury the hatchet, temporarily, and work together. They play the victim role when reaching out to politicians about the “hero problem”. Lex will be in this too.
The villains get their ways. Citizens start protesting against the heroes. Lex & Co knows very well that the masses can be manipulated to follow the stream, and do it in an intense way.
It spreads beyond their cities. The government gets involved. The army too.
Not long ago, Batman & Robin did actually do crimes (because of Mad Hatter’s hypnosis). That plays in here
The heroes are now deemed public enemies.
Superman must face what he’s done. The Dynamic duo too.
The heroes are brought before the law. It doesn’t help that Bruce uses his status to get help from people who know the law book inside and out.
There will be moments of courtroom drama.
It could perhaps lead to a revealing of their secret identities???
What role does Wonder Woman play in this? She’s currently living in California.
Who brought Bizarro to Earth? He can’t be capable of doing that himself, dumb as he is.
Ares will strike when there’s not much resistance left to oppose him.
Has he planned everything, using his magical influence to make America stop supporting their beloved heroes?
Didn’t he only care about war?
Diana must rise again!
Neither Supes or Bats approve of WW at first. There’s a tiny grain of sexism in their behavior, before they see what she’s capable of.
Steve Trevor is brave, resourceful and heroic. He doesn’t have to be saved by Diana anymore. That’s the least we could expect. He’s a soldier, for heavens sake!!! lol
The Olympian gods don’t do much to help out, except coming down to give speak some weird phrases.
They behave like they’re an audience in a cinema, watching an action film.
There’s a scene with Robin and Aphrodite, set in some dreamy Greek landscape. She’s coming to him for a purpose
Life and love will be touched upon.
Dick Grayson is likely bisexual which has been hinted before. He says something along the lines of “him swinging both ways”.
Superman, Robin and Wonder Woman have to unite to take down the god of war.
He’s very powerful. A couple of cyclops are helping him out.
A giant metallic spider-robot also shows up. Where did that come from?
Why isn't Batman helping out???
He’ll come soon!!!
Even Lex joins the heroes in the fight, using his power suit.
Something happens in Hades’ realm that takes the god by surprise.
Towards the end, Brainiac will be revealed as one who pulls the strings. The A.I. creature has gone into an uneasy alliance with Ares.
Lex will continue to oppose Brainiac after the big fight.
The film ends with Hades and Zeus meeting. The god of the underworld tells his brother that he’s heard his father’s voice.
Zeus looks worried but remains calm. “That’s impossible!”

Thank you!!Very cool cast for a good story.
It's also good to start out with a Trinity Film first which could later build up to a JLA film.
What's your opinion about going from the usual Robin looks to a (sort of) blond/sandy-haired actor?
I'm totally down for a Blonde haired Grayson .
I actually don't mind aesthetic changes to characters looks , costumes, etc from prior versions.
There's actually some precendence for it , albeit the Jason Todd version who was briefly blonde
I also agree Spall would be great as Penguin. I had to look him up at first and I remembered him from Harry Potter and Enchanted. He's a great actor and there have been several manips of him as Oswald, and he just fits it to a T.
Eva Green also has the wisdom, intellegence, slyness, and acting talents to pull off an amazing Selina Kyle.
Your cast is very good, and you can count me in for an expensive star studded Trinity Film.
Weir is also a good choice as a director . I haven't seen Australia before, but I've seen Dead Poets Society, Truman Show, Master and Commander, Green Card, and Gallipoli.
It would be very interesting to see a director of his caliber tackle these modern mythological characters.
