>“Justice League,” the Zack Synder-directed DC Extended Universe film set to debut in theaters this November, will focus on the newly formed Justice League’s attempt to stave off an alien invasion in the absence of Superman, who died at the end of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” The invasion will be led by none other than Steppenwolf, an otherworldly New God who will be played by “Game of Thrones” star Ciaran Hinds. While the 64-year-old actor seems like a strange choice to play an unfathomably powerful conqueror of worlds, it turns out that the film’s version of Steppenwolf will largely be a computer-generated character.
>“Basically they’re going to construct something, digitally, and then they will use my eyes and mouth,” said Hinds revealed in an interview with Independent.
>Hinds’ career stretches as far back as 1980, but the actor has never played role that required motion-capture. To prepare for the experience, he enlisted the help of actor and friend Liam Neeson, who recently came off a similar role as a giant talking tree in “A Monster Calls.” Hinds said Neeson sent him several pamphlets about motion capture acting.
>Hinds also dropped some extra information about his character, about which there has been precious little revealed. “He’s old, tired, still trying to get out of his own enslavement to Darkseid, [but] he has to keep on this line to try [to] and take over worlds,” he shared.
>Justice League’s Steppenwolf Will Be a Motion-Capture Character >Another CGI character AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
As a DC fan I can't continue to pretend these are good decisions.
FUCKING HELL SNYDER
Bentley Mitchell
As a DC fan, we really can't let Snyder get hold of the nuclear codes.
Isaac Lee
And how would you, O glorious anonymous, make steppenwolf WITHOUT CGI?
Liam Wilson
Not gonna lie, former DC fan here. This is fucking hilarious watching Snyder crash and burn. But in all seriousness we can't let this guy get the KINO codes
Henry Jackson
>He’s old, tired, still trying to get out of his own enslavement to Darkseid, [but] he has to keep on this line to try [to] and take over worlds Sounds kino
Oliver Wright
How do I become high energy like Snyder?
Jayden Cook
Who is that guy on the table?
Austin Bell

>Steppenwolf Will Be a Motion-Capture Character
Highly disappointed
Hunter Myers
>Ciaran Hinds
that guy is with an asian old fart, he got CHINKED
Snyder is too alpha for modern world, he should be born in the 18 century in Austria and make overrated operas while he fucks countesses and shit like that
Daniel Hernandez
I LIKE TO DREAM
RIGHT BETWEEN THE SOUND MACHINE
Lincoln Diaz
Kino is back, boys.
Jackson Peterson
Fuckin kek.
Jason Kelly

Jayden Morgan
he was a CONSUL OF APOKOLIPS
Chase Cooper
While not a villain, Collosus was mocap cgi in Deadpool.
Jackson Anderson
>stupid idea >"PRAISE!"
Christopher Robinson
>stupid
Luke Martinez
No one here is gonna pay money to see this...
Right?
Joseph Bailey
>making "regular guy in armor" character completely CGI for no reason >not stupid
Leo Richardson
I dunno
Carson Cox
don't bother with these retards DCucks don't even know what Steppenwolf looked like before the Lex scene They think he's a giant demon
Jonathan Cooper
He is, though - giant, at least. All the New Gods are. What travels to our plane is just some sort of avatar. For all we know, he's not even going to be corporeal.
Parker Murphy
Darkseid will kill Steppenwolf with his omega beams at the end of Justice League after Steppenwolf fails to retrieve the Mother Boxes back to Apokolips
Nathaniel Garcia
Wrong, you dumb nigger. All of the new gods are humanoid except Darkseid who is a 9 foot tall stone man.
Chase Butler
Krypton is an amazing world and I cannot wait for Apokolips.
Wyatt Fisher
Stop showing your ignorance. Kirby originally wrote them as giants who scale down to fit into our existence. Later he introduced the concept of avatars and even had Desaad impersonate Darkseid on earth using his.
Charles Ortiz
>all arehumanoid >except Darkseid >who is a man
Owen Fisher
>Muh comic books
Eli Cook
>muh warhammer concept art
Oliver Butler
>Kirby originally wrote them as giants who scale down to fit into our existence
thanks for confirming it
Noah James
He is not a guy in armor in the movie, so you faggots are dense to suggest that it should not be mocap.
>m-muh comics! lmao If you want moving comics, go watch some animation.
Liam Moore
hopefully Snyder knows what he is doing
Easton Kelly
Thanks for missing the point. They never *have* to come through scaled down.
Jaxson Foster
>Darkseid he sounds edgy
Camden Young
>18th century actors >alpha You know there is a reason because they dressed as women and because writers and musicians were usually gay, right? Real alphas were fighting wars or killing invaders
Josiah Gutierrez
>comic book movie >not based upon comic books This is why normies shouldn't be allowed to make movies, because people like you or Snyder is why DC flicks suck.
Jacob Sanchez
You know how much Snyder and his creative team expect people to understand about the characters? So much that he never soundboards one thing to the audience. It's there to either be picked up on by the fans or leave the normies completely boggled.
Know why Bruce made a kryptonite spear instead of a bullet? No? Congratulations. You're a normie.
Parker Wilson
>implyig Snyder's movies aren't deep
You're just >wwaaaaaaaaaaaahh I want allllllll my comic book shit in the first movie!
Connor Gutierrez
>Know why Bruce made a kryptonite spear instead of a bullet? No? Congratulations. You're a normie.
Why not though, hasn't this been done in DC before and worked?
Julian Nguyen
Clearly, there is not an artist that exists today that could improve upon or modify such an impressive and timeless work of art.
Isaiah Wright
No, and the fag you're replying to is wrong as well. It was a super-clever reference to Excalibur, because Snyder is not at all a fucking first-year film student using the most obvious and clumsy references and symbols.
Mason Parker
>someone uses symbolism >user happens to hate it for some reason >"Well, he's just naive and doesn't know shit, I'm way better over here, shitposting on a taiwanese rice-gum massage board from my mother's basement"
Colton Robinson
I wonder how he will looks like.
Bentley Reyes
>No, and the fag you're replying to is wrong as well.
Bruce is able to kill in self-defense, but that's the compromise he's making here. He's not allowing himself to kill in cold blood. That's why he brands guys on occasion. He thinks they're past redemption but he can't bring himself to kill someone who's at his mercy. So he brands them in the hopes that some other more "respectable" criminal will do his dirty work for him.
He's warring with his own obsession with vengeance. The "bat" wants to kill, the "man" is barely keeping it in check. Deep down he knows that Clark is one of the good guys, but when you're Bruce Wayne, your grief requires a target and Clark is the only target available in the aftermath of the Battle of Metropolis.
That's what Bruce's dream is trying to tell him - that by turning his back on the "angel," he's allowing his obsession to consume him. So he does something that's textbook Bruce Wayne - he prep-times himself into a confrontation with his own obsession. He creates a weapon that forces him to try to do the one thing he can't do - kill in cold blood - and predictably, he balks.
It's one of the most comic-book moments that's ever made it into a film, and possibly *the* most Batman moment. All that's left to ponder for now is whether Clark actually said his own mother's name or if Bruce just heard what he needed to hear.
