Discussion/Writing Post

[dceu_kinkmod]

This post is for everything that's not prompts, fills or comments on prompts/fills. You can discuss the movies or trailers or headcanons here, but you can also use this as a writing post: talk about fic ideas you've had (whether they're based on kinkmeme prompts or not), brainstorm with others, bounce ideas off someone, or post snippets you've written to get some feedback. Or even just some cheerleading and support while you write. You can also use this post to find a beta.

Basically: if it doesn't go on the prompt post, you can do it here.

Prompt post #1 is here. All non-DCEU prompts go here.

You're welcome! Sorry it's taking me so long to get the other half up, but work's been keeping me busy lately.

But on a side note, with NYCC coming up, the Lex/OS website has been updated (nothing spoilery,yet?) but it got me looking through some older online stuff from BvS, and noticed that Lex's interview with Wired (https://www.wired.com/brandlab/2015/12/lexical-analysis-lex-luthor-on-disrupting-the-vigilante-industrial-complex) mentions the Park Metropolis Downtown Hotel from the guidebook! Nice attention to detail! I also like that Wayne Enterprises has a much smaller budget compared to other similar companies. It makes sense considering how Gotham-focused Bruce is.

I know there's lots of negativity around viral marketing, but I liked BvS's approach to it, for the most part. It really gives me the world building that I was missing from the films so far.

That Wired article was pretty cool. Thanks for the link. Lots of great digs and references to other characters and to Suicide Squad, too!

The viral marketing they did for The Dark Knight was also amazing, with the Mike Engel talk show episodes and that "Entertainment Tonight"-ish special on Bruce Wayne with paparazzi footage and interviews and everything. Brilliant world-building right there. I love this shit. :P

Hey, no pressure. Post the rest of the guide when you can. Thanks so much!

Btw, anybody else notice in the Metropolis one, on the page with the Blaze Comics store interior, there's a series of pix hanging from the ceiling showing Clark changing into Superman. Lolz. The jig is up, Clark. They know!

Haha yeah I noticed that Superman! I wonder what comic shops would be like in the DCEU, if they even have superhero comics before MoS. I guess there might be, considering that bb!Clark in MoS was playing with a red towel as a cape.

Probably pulp vigilante type heroes with no superpowers, like Zorro, the movie the Waynes saw before the shooting incident and which influenced young Bruce to become Batman. And on the theater marquee it said "Excalibur coming soon" or something to that effect. Did medieval knights wear red capes? I dunno.

And it's most likely just a clumsy photo choice for a Metropolis comic book store on the part of the editor, but there was also a Captain America comic in the same pic as Clark changing into Superman. Heh, maybe the DCEU reads Marvel Comics.
