That moustache thing was about Henry Cavill. This is about the two versions of the "JUSTICE LEAGUE" movie.
It is. Cavill was filming a Mission Impossible film, and they wouldn't let him shave his moustache. (At least they didn't just cover it with makeup as they did Cesar Romero's during the Batman TV show...)
Gadot was pregnant. Only Momoa figured it out.
The long version was a lot grittier. I don't think I like it as much as the theatrical version.
This movie had an unusually long name. It had an ensemble cast that had appeared in other media previously. One character (named in the title) was introduced and portrayed first in 1992. Two other members of the ensemble were introduced long before that , and were first portrayed in 1979 (together, I might add.) Another was first portrayed in 1992, but was introduced a few years before that. This film was rated "R". Financially, it didn't break even at the box office, but I think the decision of when they released it had a lot to do with that.
"The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension" ?

That movie was in the 80s. If it included 2 characters that were introduced in 1992, I'm sure you'd remember that. This movie is more recent. BTW, there's a reason some characters were introduced, but weren't PORTRAYED until years or decades later. That should narrow the possibilities down somewhat.

Part of the name of this movie was in common with a short-lived TV show, which had no connection to it or was vaguely related to it, depending on who you ask (it's open to interpretation, depending on how you look at it.) This movie came after at least one previous movie, and another movie came after this one (neither with the same name as THIS movie.)

I'm sure there will be a eventually, but I'm still not getting it. I vaguely recall seeing the "Legends of the Superheroes" shows, but I'm not even sure if they were DC characters.

They were. In fact. Adam West and Burt Ward reprised familiar roles, and in the first of the 2 shows, so did Frank Gorshin. It was a little surprising to see how many characters were depicted live-action for the first time, otherwise.
The movie isn't old. When it came out, there was a reason it wasn't seen in the theater a lot- that reason would be? Which character was introduced in 1992 in animation before crossing over to other media?
Harley Quinn started in one of the Batman cartoons. Hard to believe it was 30 years ago. I'm going with
"Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn"
Low theater viewing would be due to COVID problems.
George
And there was a "Birds of Prey" TV show. I remember Dina Meyer as Barbara Gordon. Googling it now, I see that Rachel Skarsten (currently "Alice" on Batwoman) was Dinah Lance. When the show was on, I thought that Dinah Lance was too young. Skarsten was only 17.

Correct! Renee Montoya appeared in the cartoon in the same year- although she had already been introduced in the comics.
"Legends of the Superheroes" included Black Canary and Huntress as 2 of the heroes. There was no Superman nor Wonder Woman. There was Captain Marvel and Green Lantern, so it wasn't all street-level heroes. Hawkman was there also. Frankly, I'm impressed with the job of making an actor look like Dr Sivana- he looked like he stepped out of the comics.

BTW. this movie was book-ended by 2 movies, both called " Suicide Squad."
Despite the title, there were six subsequent installments in this series, BEFORE the reboot.
On a budget of $1,800,000 the film made $32,600,000 at the box office. (In 1984, that was a lot of money.)
Joseph Zito had previously directed The Prowler (1981), but they wanted him to both direct AND write this film. He said, "But I'm not a writer," to which they said, "Here's a contract paying you double to write and direct," and then he responded, "Yeah, I'm totally a writer." Zito used the extra salary to hire Barney Cohen to somewhat secretly write the script.
This is the only film in the series to shoot new footage using sets and locations from a previous film.
-This 1941 movie later had 4 sequels. Actors in it include Claude Rains and
Ralph Bellamy. It also included Bela Lugosi as Bela.
However, nobody ever seems to remember he was in this movie-
most remember it for exactly one actor and one actress
(who do not play "a couple" at any point, neither in this movie
nor real life.) It was written by Curt Siodmak.
-It also had a remake in 2010 with some recognizable actors.
-The 1941 version had an influence on a number of later movies of the same subject.
-The actor with the titular role brought his German Shepherd with him- who acted in the movie...in an important role!
-The theatrical trailer includes moments with fighting a bear. Unfortunately, the bear ran off during filming, so he made the cutting-room floor for the movie.
-I would like to thank countless yaks for their contribution to the titular role.
-The first draft left a major plot point open to interpretation, but the final version made things very unambiguous. I'd like to see a version where the movie is done as a straightforward psychological thriller instead of how it's been done so far.

Human without the bean
Why didn't you say that 2 days ago Mr. Wolf? Your right Rottie, They are pretty good. Makes it tough on me to get my 2 cents in.
Human without the bean
I was way off going with "The Terminal", except that it didn't have any articles of clothing in the title. I assume WordWolf is correct, but I'm not familiar with it. But that's not unusual.

Stallone. Also well-known for reprising his Rocky role. I can't see him in Eddie Murphy's role in BHC, though... George

The full title of this movie- especially including the part in parentheses- is much longer than this title.

Should be, and is.
I assume that they really were planning to end the series, but it's hard to walk away from 2000% ROI.
