I hope this happens. Wonder Woman, Flash, and Aquaman deserve a chance at big screen success. GL needs to go into movie rehab for a while, then take a second shot.
Aquaman movie pls.

I'm actually agreeing with Aspie for once...this is different :D
Oh and some news about Batman their future plans
http://m.ign.com/articles/2013/06/14/new-batman-in-justice-league-movie-says-david-s-goyer (http://m.ign.com/articles/2013/06/14/new-batman-in-justice-league-movie-says-david-s-goyer)
You know, after Man of Steel... I don't know how much sense would Aquaman make into this DCCU.
As Atlantean are not humans but a sort of "secret race", it would be the same "are we alone in the universe?" all over again.
Will they change Aquaman's background? I have no idea. But I think the best idea they could have is giving Atlantis some mystic or magic background, to differentiate it from MoS the most possible.
I also think an Aquaman movie would better be done after the Justice League film, to basically translate Geoff John's take on the character to the big screen.

I have to agree with using Geoff's take but I don't understand the Atlanris problem. Sure they're not human but they're not aliens either, it would be different enough from MoS on its form

No your not, I actually liked the first one, I watched before I was a DC fan though so I'll have to try it again but yeah I love green lantern
I liked the first GL a lot. Even more than TDKR.

I started hating GL but in the second half it improved. Sequel could only improve. Yes, GL2 please. No reboot, just change the tone. And I say Yes, Ryan f**king Reynolds.
The GL movie sucked. Ryan Reynolds gets too much shit for it, though.

I don't like Ryan Reynolds either, but I'd pick him if there's a chance looking forward in continuity terms and avoid another reboot. The movie was bad, but it least it got it right in what respected to the origin.

Not exactly. His face is annoying, for my taste.
Then he should stick to Deadpool.
Quote from: Local Trouble on Jun 16, 2013, 09:53:11 PMThen he should stick to Deadpool.
I don't know. His performance as Wade Wilson was godawful. But everything on that movie was godawful. Probably the director asked for a godawful Deadpool, I have no idea.
I don't know if he has potential to play the ACTUAL Deadpool in a movie.

They just have to alter the personality. I wouldn't see a problem with an actor reprising the role. They could later say Constantine was a precedent for the DCCU XD

It's the same in attitude. They changed the character from Pom to Yank and cast Keanu Reeves, as well as changing the setting to LA from London (mostly). On the surface you'd reckon it'd suck something fierce, but shockingly Keanu does a pretty accurate take on Constantine. The setting is all wrong though. The London in the comics is often dark, dour with centuries of history and ghosts behind it. LA just doesn't fit. Chas only bears the most superficial of resemblances to his comic counterpart.
If you don't go in with high expectations, and get past the fact Constatine looks and talks like Neo and not Sting, there's quite a bit to like about the film.

So Batman will be in Man of Steel 2?
I don't think it's a good idea. They should first make Batman reboot to establish well this new character, and then Batman/Superman. I don't think this movie is going to happen.
I would have preferred justice league but this seems like a logical step

Yeah, seriously what Gilfryd said, if you don't know Batmans origins by now you had to have been living under a rock for decades. I'll tell you about batman, he's a boss and one of the worlds greatest minds, done, I just told you exactly what batman will be like and the movie is 2 years away

I didn't say "do again Batman's origin". I said "establish the new Batman". Every version of Batman has differences, I think it would be a better idea to have a solo Batman adventure first, to know what the personality and capabilities of this new version are, and start anticipating how he could fit in the DCCU and clash with Superman.

I'm sure we'll see this batman in action before he meets superman in the movie, maybe bustin croc or freeze, you know, a stronger villain

No, idiot. I meant on the DC Cinematic Universe in general; Flash's rumored to have his own movie very soon... But now they introduced him via the TV series. And it's a strong rumor that Arrow will tie in with the movies. That would mean Gustin could be The Flash on the Justice League movie.

1) Agents if SHIELD has been on for one episode, the pilot, so how do you know what route it's taking?
2) what do you mean?

What I mean is that Gotham and Constantine series should be more serious and mature, not "cheesy" or plagued by pop culture references.
And Grimm and Supernatural are pretty bland "monster of the week" episodes with spectacular season ends. I think DC series should instead build consistent drama with every episode being equally important.
For Gotham, for example, I would expect something more like "The Shield" and less like "NCIS".

It's not only that, there would be needed 2 or 3 movies at last, to establish well the League and then lead to an event of that magnitude.

There's angels and demons - lots of demons - in Hellblazer. They changed a great deal about Constantine for the film, but the tone is fairly similar to the comics.
Considering everything they changed it should've sucked balls - but doesn't.

They changed the main character's personality, which was something that really made the comic stand out. Keanu Reeves sucked, really! :/
I've read a lot of Hellblazer and resisted seeing the film on principle for a long time - but when I did I didn't find the film version terribly different from the comic version.

Basically he said Warner has the DC Cinematic Universe very tightly planned and what we have seen announced so far is only the tip of the iceberg. He's "trying to see where Justice League Dark would fit".
No chance for the DC Cinematic Universe being as good as Marvels Cinematic Universe.
Zack Snyder is going to fail hard.

Man of Steel was not very good, and I don't like that they're giving Snyder and David Goyer that much control. Let's see if Geoff Johns can improve the things...
And if they're planning making Arrow part of their Multimedia Cinematic Universe, I could say it's a mess from the beginning. It just doesn't fit with MoS =/
It seems Arrow is not part of the "Cinematic Universe"...

I am okay with that. Arrow has built its own little DC Universe quite nicely.
They need to quit making movies and just focus on TV. Arrow already showed us all how it's done, and they have only improved on their formula. All this talk about Marvel vs DC - the clear winner of the two is ARROW.
Arrow isn't afraid to actually explore the universe where their characters come from. It's the second season and already we're getting Flash, mentions of Ra's Al Ghul and a host of other characters. I think with Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim's f**k-up on Green Lantern, they've redeemed themselves with this show. Big time.
I really should give Arrow a chance sometime...

God damn Del Toro, pick a title!
Why do you need a Justice League movie first?
I guess because it would be kind of weird to have a spinoff JL before the real deal. But hell, we'll have a GoTG movie before a Wondy or Aquaman movie, so why the f**k not?
That's not at all what SM was saying.

f**king hell yes. I was always trying to figure out how to make him not look like shit in live action, and this is it!
Sadly, it's fan art only.
I wonder what way they will go, I wouldn't be thrilled if he looks like a cadaveric old man in a red footsies pijama.
Whatever, I only hope DC doesn't make everyone in the "Justice League Dark" a hero protagonist. There are like 8 characters announced and a league as big can't work in a movie.
At least 4 of them (for example Swamp Thing, Deadman and The Spectre) should be support or circumstancial characters, not directly involving in "solving the problem".
It would be ridiculous seeing all those radically different characters working together as a team in a single origin movie :/
Yeah, I'm sure it was mentioned in an article months back that some of the characters will end up doing supporting roles. I forget which characters will take center stage, all I know is that the roster has changed a few times since it was announced. For me, all I want is for Swamp Thing to have a good amount of screen time. Freaking Ron Pearlman as Swamp Thing is also the only casting choice for this.
Honesty the whole announcement of the movie sounded like blatant fanservice, I don't think they should cram too many characters (most of them not known by the audience) or it could seriously look like a very alienating advertise for their DCCU, that only would appreciate.
Or some really convulted mess like the League of the Extraordinary Gentlemen movie.
In my opinion, only 4 or 5 characters should be put in the movie. Mainly Constantine, Zatanna, Etrigan and probably Spectre OR Deadman plus Swamp Thing or some other "weird" character in a minor role.

Which will only help during the fight scenes, and not much else.
Military training doesn't make you a good actress.
Neither does MMA experience. :P Gadot can read lines reasonably enough.
Most of Gal's scenes will be just a CGI model of her. shes only there for the close ups
I tried telling Sweeps how they can recast would be not to recast Gal, but to simply make her Nubia, who is Wonder Woman's "twin" sister. Nubia always wanted the title of Wonder Woman for herself. So in this universe, she beat her, but when the real WW comes around, she'll get her title back.
Only way to make it work.

The Argo writer getting brought on to rewrite BvsS has restored some hope for me in the DCCU. We may all end up thanking Cthulhu for Ben Affleck because of that.

NO! Please not Shazaam!
I was hoping for John Stewart... but if that's not happening I'm seriously hoping for Aquaman. Would fit his description of a well-known character that has never been played... but then again does Shazam :-\
If it is Shazam related, I bet it's not going to be Captain Marvel himself, but rather Black Adam. Which would be a perfect fit.
Black Adam is pretty much confirmed at this point.
He is?

The Rock mentions how he's locked on for a character that has never been on screen before, and who is a motherf**king badass, AND who is at Superman level of strength. Dat tweet, when he answers the question about GL, he mentions BOTH GL AND Black Adam.
The Rock don't f**king mention Black Adam, and prior to that pretty much describes the f**k out of Black Adam if he ain't playing Black Adam.
It's Black Adam.

1. Shazam has very little appeal for today audiences, he's there more as a reminder of the cherished Golden Age.
2. They're changing Wonder Woman origins to be a descendant of aliens, only to avoid any kind of mystical/mythological/magical stuff, I don't think they will tackle the subject with Shazam.
Black Adam probably on the Justice League Dark movie? Who knows, I don't think Black Adam could be introduced without Shazam first...

That's one unsubstantiated rumor out of approximately twelve million.
Yep, that whole WW being from alien race is just BS. The internet took that as something was truth, when it was actually speculation from a Batman fan-site.
Besides, even if that were the case, those two reasons don't seem like big enough reasons for Captain Marvel and such to not come out in the DC movie-verse.

The highlight IMO:
QuoteGoyer: I mean, it's too early. I know that Warner Bros. would love to make their universe more cohesive. There have been a lot of general conversations about that, but it's really, really early. I'm not sure. Marvel has had enormous success, but I'm not sure that everybody should try to emulate them either. It's just been vague conversations so far.
LOL, get your shit together, WB!! XD
Meh, I love so much Marvel Studios story :)
This multimedia idea is an initiative that was born like in the '70s, they went in an adventure of doing animated series even with very limited budgets... Marvel did some sacrificies by selling some of the rights to other studios during the '90s, so they could invest that money to produce more material...
But finally they accomplished their dream and they created THEIR OWN STUDIO to make the movies they wanted to do as they wanted them to be, so they're not under the power of any other company or producers demanding them to according to their wishes.
There's so much love and understanding to the comic books and the characters there, thanks to Avi Arad, Stan Lee, Kevin Feige, now they're going enjoying the product of their work big time...
RIP WB, focus all efforts on Arrow now, that's where the real world building has already started to the point of an actual spin off happening in the same f**king universe.
Welll, honesty I don't care about superhero TV shows being part of a cinematic universe.
To me, for superheroes the best way is the movies. With TV shows you have cheaper special effects, cheaper actors, cheaper costumes, cheaper action scenes. The worst case is Smallville.
Seriously a TV show about Flash? He will never look as great as he could look in a movie.
The only way it's justified it's for street level characters, like but even so, it would be better for like 6-10 episodes miniseries (like Marvel's doing with the Defenders series), not 24-episodes seasons.
Why to introduce Green Arrow via a cheap TV show, and make him see "half decent" when you can wait a little so he can appear in a movie?
Also, as these series for being part of a Cinematic Universe will have to have some connections with the comics, they basically have to throw some characters there, but they can only use the B-lister or C-lister ones, those people don't care about, like Deathlok, Lorelerei, so the movies can still use the good ones.
Occasionally someone good as Deathstroke, but it still would look way better in a movie...

Dates doesn't match, hope movies won't match either (GTFO, Shazam and Sandman!)
Yeah, Sandman (and vertigo in general) should be in a different universe.
Seems DC has been snorting coke again.

If they want to do a "dumb, funny" movie, origins are not really needed. But for bigger things for greater characters, like Avengers and Justice League, they need to give more insight to every character, so their individual weights will be more felt.
Apparently, The Rock confirmed in an interview movies for Aquaman, Shazam and Wonder Woman: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=106232 (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=106232)

Don't characters like Hawkeye and Black Widow show us that we don't need a Cyborg movie?
All they need are Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman - maybe Flash and/or Green Lantern - before they do a Super Friends movie.
Yeah, not every character need their own solo vehicle, but Black Widow & Hawkeye did both appear prior to Avengers in IM2 & Thor. I'm guessing that's the logic behind cameo's in BvS, but I'm still worried it might get too crowded. If you were going to include Green Lantern into a Justice League film I'd argue he'd need his own solo adventure first. Shoe-horning in an explanation for his origins into Justice League would be more difficult than "2 master assassins."
Agreed. It's not necessary that every single hero gets a solo movie, however it is very necessary that in the unifying movie, there's enough space for each character... something that seems very difficult to achieve if you throw in so many super heroes like BvS is "accused" of doing. So far only Cyborg is confirmed, however with such a marginal character already being confirmed, I have no doubt that they will shoehorn a bunch of more important guys into this...
Still, can't help but feeling hyped for this, simply because of Batman meeting Superman, as long as that part of the story works, I'm happy.

After the Green Lantern movie, I don't think a big explanation for GL is much needed. They will just say "he's a guardian for our planet", probably he will use a hologram to show Oa, and that'd be all.
This isn't all that different from what the DCAU did when the Justice League cartoon rolled around. Only Batman and Superman had solo series prior to that show. The pilot served as an origin for Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter, while Green Lantern, Flash, and Hawkgirl just kind of showed up without much in the way of introductions.

Yeah, but DCAU felt more open to include other superheroes/metahuman. With MoS, we had the idea Superman was a completely extraordinary phenomenon, I don't think 7 new superheroes could pop up in the next movie at the same time and not looking forced.

Well that's a shit amateur article. It's basing the whole DCU on two promotional images and one film, whilst also comparing it to the dark knight. You get better articles in a university paper
Anything bashing Goyer is OK for me ;D
Well if Marvel is doing things "right", then I desperately want DC to go the opposite of what Marvel did. One movie that was trying to be a bit more like a marvel movie was Green Lantern and we all know how that turned out.
What worked for Marvel will never work for DC. Marvel comics are fun reads, which can very easily be transitioned to a movie.
DC Comics have a far more serious and especially sociocritical take on comics, far more complex. Of course it's more difficult to make good movies out of them and trying to copy marvel will not work for them at all. Most DC characters are gods or aliens except for Batman... and I'm not talking Gods like Thor who simply is exceptionally strong and swings a hammer, I mean Beings like Martian Manhunter who reads minds, Green Lantern who can transcend imaginations to concrete items, the Flash who's ability is speed, something very quirky to try in a movie.
The only hero who falls out of this is Shazam... and that's because he's not really a DC character.
So stop trying to sell me this bullshit that DC should copy Marvel, it won't work... except for something like Shazam maybe.

No one's saying they should imitate Marvel in everything, but what they have done in MoS and what we've seen in BvS so far doesn't seem to be the right route for the DC characters, or at least for Superman either. And if we pay attention that the Justice League movie is going to be made by the same guys...
Most people would say that they are taking it in the right direction. What have you gathered from a few press pics and a 10 second teaser that makes you so sure they have gone down the wrong route.
I'm more annoyed by how people treat this like a a dumb Marvel vs DC thing, when DC itself isn't even making any movies.
Josh Brolin could have been the perfect Shazam, sadly he's already married to Marvel Studios ::)

It's no doubt one of my favorite young superheroes, along with Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle. The show was kickass. I hope the movie gets actually done and comes out good.
Never been much of Static Shock fan. Now if it was Cyborg on the other hand.
Static Shock is the one that deserves everything good coming to him in whatever form.
This is what I love, Arrow and Flash, are allowed to pull from the DC universe almost anything they want. Stephen Amell was quoted as saying "We've been given the keys to the DC universe." – Superman vs. Batman isn't effecting this at all. Which is great. It gives the writers on the tv shows so much breathing room.

- At least that Shazam movie rumour is finally put to rest.
- Suicide Squad is a really weird idea, don't think it's a good one, it would be hard to connect as an important part of the DCCU.
Don't think DC is making any sense.

Snyder and Goyer.
If GL is going to have his own movie, I'd say he's gonna be Raúl Jordán (Hal Jordan).
This is all getting interesting.
I already see what people is going to think in the theater:
Part One: Wow, they totally ripped off Ultron from The Avengers
Part Two: These idiots are trying to make their own Thanos
Except Darkseid was created a few years before Thanos. That will probably be lost on the audience though.
I think Terrio taking over writing duties for BvS has ruled out Goyer as a major influence for a while now.
Basically, Marvel has DC cornered in every way, ha ha.
They should use Starro and Prometheus as their villains.

Confirmed, Wonder Woman and Flash will be twins in this continuity, and he receives Hermes's running ability. Nice wink on Jay Garrick, WB ;)
I saw that there will be a standalone Batman movie in the works past 2018...Affleck might be too old to play the part so you think they will recast again?

The castings have been all around the place. I didn't see Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman in the moment she was announced, and I don't see her now. It's still up to see the acting, but still, she doesn't look at all like the one of the comics.

They'll all make dat money tho.
Is it too early to ask for a reboot? -___-
I would prefer much the Young Justice approach: Heroes already set in the world, just focus on some characters and have the stories to happen.
DC's plan is bound to go wrong, some of those films will probably not see the light of day and if they do I think they will fail anyway. They couldn't get a solid Superman film out that pleased everyone so really...lets take it one step at a time and wait and see with DC.
I REALLY can't see Wonder Woman, Aquaman or The Flash doing well in movie form.

During today's Meet the Movie Press, The Wrap's Jeff Sneider revealed that Warner Bros. is pursuing Phil Lord and Chris Miller to direct The Flash, although there is apparently a "tug of war" over the directors between Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures. Sony reportedly wants them to direct their second Ghostbusters movie, which would serve as a companion to Paul Feig's all-female Ghostbusters reboot. Here's what Jeff Sneider had to say below.
QuoteQuote
"We've heard a bit of a tug of war going on between Warner Bros. and Sony, which would like the same two directors for one of its big franchise movies. If Warner Bros. wanted them for The Flash, and Sony wanted them for a Ghostbusters movie, which would Lord and Miller do?"

I hope Batman v Superman isn't too much of a clusterf**k.
To be honest I don't have much faith on this. DC arrived too freaking late (Fox's X-Men series has been around for 15 years, and the MCU for 7, they had the chance to make mistakes and solve them).

Nothing surprising here, it's obvious the decision of creating a DCCU is corporate-driven, not creator-driven... Heck, not even producer-driven!

Probably sindicate stuff, you know, if someone from Writers Guild or whatever's called the people who work writing movie scripts are not hired, they protest and stuff.
Bruce Timm hasn't been nvolved in DC animation for a while now. He's only just making his return with that Gods and Monsters thingy.

Well your wrong...
David Ayer seems to have complete creative control over Suicide squad. The biggest problem facing DC is people wanting them to do something similair (or the same) as Marvel. DC are taking a riskier route by pushing forward without a single person and leaving it to directors and writers.
Quote from: hfeldhaus on Apr 30, 2015, 01:39:36 AMDavid Ayer seems to have complete creative control over Suicide squad.
Only because there's not a superior force coordinating anything, they're just letting him do anything he feels like. And he's not supervising any of the other DC films so guess what? Inconsistency will ensue, for sure.
Zach Snyder is going to be producing most of the films if not all of them. So if you really need a producer with a face there you.
And do you really think Marvel/Disney is any different from Warner Bro's in terms of them being cash driven? Historically Warner Bro's are the socially conscious production company who have put content over profit. It's been well written about.

Marvel Studios is a completely different entity than Disney.
No, that's a wrong statement. It is precisely NOT an different entity. Since 2009 it's officially part of the Disney's Studio Entertainment. That literally means that the CEO of Disney, Bob Iger, is a direct consultant of Kevin Feige. Thanks to the success that Marvel has had, Kevin Feige meanwhile has a pretty free hand over the marvel-franchise. Had he f**ked it up, Disney would have fired him.

But who cares, Marvel Studios's structure is basically intact and it's the same since before they were bought by Disney, if there's a Disney guy resting above them in hierarchy that doesn't matter since they're not doing the things different now, not at least in a way we could see.

The 'Mad Max' actor is producing with an eye to star in the adaptation of the gritty comic.
New Line and Tom Hardy are loading up on 100 Bullets.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/tom-hardy-star-100-bullets-814472
QuoteRunning for 100 issues from 1999 to 2009, the acclaimed comic centered on an enigmatic man named Agent Graves as he presents different people, for reasons unknown, with a gun, the identity of the person who ruined their lives ... and a hundred rounds of untraceable ammunition.
So, the official name would be "DC Extended Universe": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Extended_Universe
RUMOR: Solo BATMAN Movie To Be Based On A DEATH IN THE FAMILY & UNDER THE HOOD

That's a great decision :D
Yep, it also means its going to be a prequel so to speak. That means we'll have Gordon and a younger Batman. I actually rate A Death in the Family and Under the Hood higher than The Dark Knight Returns. The Bat-Family deserves screen time.
We got the logos!!

Looks like JK Simmons has been cast as Gordon. Pretty much confirms that the Batman films will be prequels. Or have flashbacks.

In MoS, there was. And the World Engine kinda sorta looked like a giant spider.
He also wanted a giant skull ship, and there were tons of skulls in Man of Steel.
Wow that guy has no idea how the movie industry works. As if box office revenue == studio revenue. Although they probably did spend 400 Million on the movie.
Cyborg should be cancelled as should Aquaman. However there is no way they should cancel the flash movie. Dude's become big shit in the last 15 years. If they cancel that they might as well just pack up and go home.

Some new possible info.
Quote- Dark Universe is back on board with a possible October, 2020 release. John Constantine will be openly bisexual.
- One of the reasons that Martian Manhunter won't be part of the universe anytime soon is because WB believe his powers are to similar to Superman.
- Cyborg will appear in the Flash movie.
- A Man of Steel sequel is in the early stages of development.
- The two untitled DC films are Suicide Squad 2 and Batman.
- There has been multiple discussions about a Suicide sequel. Adding Deathstroke and having the Gotham City Sirens on the team have been discussed.
- Cyborg movie might be replaced by the Man of Steel sequel.
- Joker and Jason Todd will be the main antagonist in the Batman solo film. Black Mask, Great White Shark, Maroni, Falcone, Two Face, Akahara, Penguin, Arnold Wesker, and Erik Tzu appear as gang leaders. The main plot of the film is Jason returning to Gotham and manipulating an all out war between gangs. Nightwing has a minor role in the film.
- There are plans for a Titans movie.
- Scott Eastwood is Dick Grayson/Nightwing.
- Alternate Earths stories have been discussed with Crime Syndicate being the favorite choice. A New Gods movie is also being discussed.
- Matt Damon is in talks for an undisclosed role.
- Green Lantern is not in Justice League Part 1.
- Darkseid will force the Justice League members to overcome the darkness within themselves.
- The only Justice League member that joins Batman and Wonder Woman in the first act of the film is Flash. Aquaman, Mera and Cyborg join later on after Silas Stone is dies and Atlantis is attacked by Parademons.
- We will learn more about Batman's visions of an apocalyptic future.
- When Superman comes back to life, Cyborg uses his abilities to put Superman in every screen of the world. Superman inspires the world to take the fight to Darkseid.
- In the final battle of Justice League, Batman uses a tank and Superman fights Darkseid one on one.
Apparently, the very basic plot synopsis of the plot for Justice League Part 1 has leaked:

What I find incredible is how much focus is now on Suicide Squad given BvS's lukewarm reception, both critically & financially. I didn't watch either box office video, but have always kept my ear tuned to such things. BvS wasn't a flop, but certainly wasn't what WB intended it to be. DC wants it's expanded universe, but BvS did nothing to increase my interest in any secondary characters beyond Wonder Woman, who I already had the most interest in. And Suicide Squad, while a major motion picture intended to make money, was likely intended to be the icing on the cake. WB can't afford another misfire. It's lucky that JL comes out prior to all other solo films, beyond WW, to allow for a 2nd first impression, so to speak. Of course, Zak Snyder is still at the helm, so I'm not holding my breath.

Maan... I had so much goodwill for Snyder... even after BvS... but boy that statement really infuriates me. He really doesnt understand story beats.
Some other "interesting" comments about his views on comic books.
QuoteYou could call it "high-brow" comics, but to me, that comic book was just pretty sexy! I had a buddy who tried getting me into "normal" comic books, but I was all like, "No one is having sex or killing each other. This isn't really doing it for me." I was a little broken, that way. So when Watchmen came along, I was, "This is more my scene."
QuoteEveryone says that about Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins. "Batman's dark." I'm like, okay, "No, Batman's cool." He gets to go to a Tibetan monastery and be trained by ninjas. Okay? I want to do that. But he doesn't, like, get raped in prison. That could happen in my movie. If you want to talk about dark, that's how that would go.
https://fansided.com/2016/05/02/zack-snyder-thinks-good-comics-have-sex-killing/
Whoa whoa whoa... wait a minute.
He says batman is cool... snyder wants to do what batman does... BUT: 'batman doesn't get raped in prison'... ?!?
?!?
Is he saying he wants to get raped in prison?!? I don't get it.
The above quotes from Fansided were taken from a 2008 interview with EW.
http://www.ew.com/article/2008/07/17/watchmen-chat-director-zack-snyder/2
Yes, he implies that Batman would get prison raped.
Also interesting are his thoughts on Marvel, who he said gone nuts, & this was 8 years ago! He doesn't distinguish the MCU films from other Marvel properties however. He does express fear though in a potential Captain America movie. Little did he know...
I imagine his version of a Cap America movie would be a lot like the Ultimate Marvel version...

Round-up of recent leaks and rumors for Justice League.
Quote>30,000 years ago, an alliance between Man, the Atlanteans and the Amazons repelled Darkseid's invasion on Earth, and Darkseid's secret weapon, the Mother Boxes, were left behind and divided among the three races.
>Themyscira and Atlantis entered a centuries-long feud that led both to abandon the human race.
>Black Canary was the leader of the human alliance.
>On present day, Batman is attempting to recruit meta-humans to defend Earth in the wake of Superman's death. He and Wonder Woman approach Aquaman, but he declines due to his grievances with both the Amazons and the humans.
>The Flash and Cyborg join Batman's team, and become friends as they're both rookies struggling to control their powers, and the youngest members of the team.
>Lex Luthor's experiments with the Kryptonian scout ship have provided a map to Earth. Steppenwolf then attacks the planet with a horde of parademons to retrieve the Mother Boxes so Apokolips can continue its efforts to subjugate the Universe.
>The Mother Boxes are scattered on Themyscira, Atlantis and with the United States government, and the Justice League races against time to retrieve them before Steppenwolf. Aquaman begrudgingly joins their efforts.
>Cyborg is instrumental to repelling Steppenwolf's offensive as he was rebuilt with Apokoliptian technology from the Mother Box.
>Meanwhile, Superman begins his journey to return to life.
>Darkseid only appears in the prologue and the epilogue.
>The post-apocalyptic future in Batman's visions will be revisited.
>Lois Lane, Perry White, Alfred Pennyworth, Commissioner James Gordon, Iris West, Mera and Silas Stone have minor roles.
>Willem Dafoe is playing an Atlantean elder privy to the secrets of Darkseid's attack.
I want to see the movie.

Its always been "The Batman Universe: Guest starring some other guys".
WB has no idea how to make any DC property work unless it has pointy ears.
I don't think that's their problem. I think the real problem is that nobody at WB knows what a good script looks like (just listen to Mike Smith's rant about John Peters). Sure... sometimes you have a innovative guy like Nolan who makes things work... but they don't understand WHY it worked... all they know is IT worked... so let's make more of them gritty movies. ::) However I will say that imo they nailed the character of Superman. I know many fans will not agree. But for me, it definitely made him more relevant and closer to the comic book version (52 era).
QuoteBut for me, it definitely made him more relevant and closer to the comic book version (52 era).
Spot on. This guy isn't the Christopher Reeves guy. He's not the John Byrne guy. I think a lot of the criticism leveled at MoS (and DoJ) was from movie-core fans and casual readers of event comics. And there's nothing wrong with that, by the way - I don't read comics regularly, but I made a point of following the New 52 for about a year or so to see what all the kerfuffle was about.
Both MoS and DoJ are divisive movies. Some would say they're shit movies - especially DoJ. I can honestly see both sides of the argument - I loved both films and I've seen them multiple times, whereas (because the Marvel comparison is always made), I watch Avengers or Iron Man once and forget about them. They're good but they're not particularly thought provoking and don't invite debate - they are what they say on the tin - fun, entertaining movies.
Snyder and Co, I think, are guilty of too much fan service. People on this forum have - for years - picked over the bones of various aspects of A/P movies... its pretty clear to me that Snyder (whatever you think of his talents) knows his source material.
So for massive fans of the DCU, there's a tonne of stuff in these films to tweak your nerdy buttons. The motherbox, the Flashpoint references, the Omega... all these things have been mentioned here. Fans get it.
But that doesn't necessarily make for a good experience for everyone else who found it confusing and / or dull.
I read a lot that "Snyder doesn't understand the character of Superman." This is unfair - I think he totally understands the character of this generation's Superman. But its not the character that some people seem to want. Conversely, Bryan Singer served up the character that we all knew and loved, but he was labelled boring and a creepy stalker and that Singer payed too much reverence to Richard Donner's take.
What is very clear is that WB haven't been able to nail the universal success of Disney in bringing these characters to the big screen. But as I say, Disney movies very safe movies that follow the Blake Snyder formula to a T. And that formula works like a charm - every time.
It's interesting to me that in the fallout over BvS there were millions upon millions of words written about it. My Facebook feed was cracking under the weight of commentary - for and against. With Civil War - its come, its made loads of money, and it'll go. But no one's really talking about it. Cos there's nothing really to talk about. It delivered. End of story. Which is what Disney does - but I don't think the MCU films are particularly thought provoking or interesting.
The DC ones are - or at least seem to be, given the amount of column inches (or whatever the internet equivalent is) they've generated.
Warners gave Snyder the job of creating the strategy and the tactical delivery - its pretty clear given the appointment of Geoff Johns and the other chap who's name escapes me that they have baulked. Snyder has had two strikes and not really delivered fiscally even if he has served up two nerdily fancore pleasing movies.
But as I say, its not fair to level the not understanding the source material crime at his door - he evidently does.
I don't have a case to defend on DoJ - I loved it but I see why many didn't. But even for me, it could have been better... and that is a bit of a crime in a Superman vs Batman movie... and the Martha bit was bad. Really bad - even if it does show that Snyder knows his DC lore. Should have just said "his mother" - it would have had the same humanising effect.
Ultimately, though, I don't think Warners will quit on the DCEU. I think all these films will make money, which is the name of game.
Quote from: Russ on May 20, 2016, 09:18:09 AMUltimately, though, I don't think Warners will quit on the DCEU. I think all these films will make money, which is the name of game.
Two films and one was a mild box office hit, the second a straight up disappointment. If people's not feeling the DCEU then I guess yes, they're going to quit it or drastically undersize it. They could keep doing standalone DC films, anyway, if this continuity didn't click with the audience.
I think Wonder Woman will be the yardstick - Suicide Squad was for me a really strange pick... I can't work it out at all, but who knows, maybe it'll be a smash.
I guess you could be right, though... but it'd be hard to climb down from Aquaman, Flash and Cyborg now that they've been introduced... but if SS and WW bomb then... yes.
But I don't think they will bomb - I think Wonder Woman will be a real hit. Gadot was one of the few things everyone agreed on in the BvS movie. OK, she didn't have a lot to do, but what she DID do was awesome.
And she had an excellent theme tune too :-)
Wonder Woman and Suicide Squad are the two most important film for the DCEU. They're the first films to not be directed by Snyder so it'll be our first chance to the what this universe is.

WB producers actually went to say they want a "multiverse approach" in the sense every director's going to do the kind of film they want, so the tone will be different for every movie. People will never know "what this universe is" because every movie is going to be completely different.

Even so, all the films will be taking place in the same universe. They will most likely all lead to the same story point. Who's to say it won't work until we've seen the next couple of movies.

I'm so excited for new Batman and Superman continuities in which Jimmy Olsen and Dick Grayson are dead. Great ideas from WB, definitely...
I see Wonder Woman being decent since its its own movie and not having to tie into anything. Suicide Squad I see being a crappy version of Watchmen.

QuoteEXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros. And DC Are Considering Multiple Suicide Squad Spinoffs
"They're going to do a sequel for sure, and the recently announced spinoff with Margot Robbie has got everyone excited, too, but their plans don't end there. The studio is feeling very confident in the property. They think it's going to be a really big hit and they think audiences are going to fall in love with these characters.
I've heard more than a few talks of giving some of the other Task Force X members their own spinoffs, and like the Harley Quinn one, these films would open the door for a ton of new DC characters to show up.
The Joker is a definite possibility for a spinoff, and Jared Leto seems up for it from what I've been told. They're also really hot on Jai Courtney's character Boomerang right now. Nothing's set in stone yet, but you're definitely going to be seeing a lot more of these guys in the years to come."

QuoteDCEU Rumors From WB Studios
>Charles Roven isn't the only one leaving the DCEU as producer as Deborah Snyder will also be leaving after Justice League.
>There were some changes done to the Justice League script. Zack Snyder added nightmare sequences in the Batman v. Superman script that weren't written by Chris Terrio and he planned on doing nightmare sequences for all of the Justice League members but the studio put the brakes on those plans. However, there will be a scene that ties into Batman's nightmare in the film. The nightmare sequences alone would have cost an extra 35 million dollars alone.
>Geoff Johns has suggested a team of creative minds to join him in creating the DCEU. Jon Berg will be taking care of the business side of things.
>Zack Snyder's next project won't be a DCEU film. He will be working on a remake of The Illustrated Man.
>Ben Affleck's Batman will be getting a trilogy. Suicide Squad also has a sequel in development. A first draft for the Man of Steel sequel has been recently submitted.
>The Flash movie might be delayed and replaced by Shazam.
Source?
I liked the content of the nightmare sequences, it's just they were ham fistedly thrown in there. Man of Steels Nightmare sequence was pretty great.
If any of you have read DC Universe: Rebirth #1, there's a major holy shit moment that just might have huge implications for the DC cinematic universe (hint: "Snyderverse" will take on a whole new meaning).

No. Jimmy, Lois, Perry White... all of them are important for the Superman comics.
Imagine if Marvel had killed Foggy Nelson in episode 1 of the Daredevil TV series, what a better show would it be, right?
Of course, stupid Snyder doesn't get at all Superman and he doesn't give a crap about support characters other than the "female trophy" one, he only wants to see Superman hitting other aliens in the face like Dragon Ball Z.
Foggy is expendable too. So is Happy from Iron Man.
I just don't care about Superman's pal. Hell, even Smallville turned him into a pointless joke. It's not like the Donner version was such a big deal either. All he did was fall off a dam.
I'd rather they kill Karen.
Jimmy is in the DCEU. It's just that he has a vag and tits, and not cock and balls.

Potential leaked plot of Suicide Squad. Spoilering it just in case anyone rather wait to see it.
Spoiler
Amanda Waller decides to assemble the Suicide Squad on behalf of the United States government. Harley Quinn is arrested after Batman intervenes on a business deal between the Joker and a weapons dealer, Monster T, and ends up being recruited into the Suicide Squad alongside Deadshot, Boomerang, Killer Croc, El Diablo and Slipknot. Rick Flagg is assigned to lead them with Katana as his second-in-command.
Meanwhile, June Moon is possessed by the Enchantress and decides to revive her brother, the Incubus, and retrieve her heart, which is in Waller's possession. She attacks Midway City, filling it with monsters, and uses Monster T to host the Incubus. The Suicide Squad is sent to kill her, but end up being shot down by the Joker and his men, who want Harley back.
After they're shot down, Slipknot tries to escape and is killed by a bomb implanted on his neck. The team transverses the city fighting monsters, and ultimately fights the Incubus in a subway station, while the Enchantress captures Waller. Diablo sacrifices himself to destroy the Incubus, and the team goes to rescue Waller. They fight the Enchantress in an abandoned museum and Harley destroys the heart, exorcising the Enchantress.
Waller still locks everyone up, but the Joker later breaks into prison and rescues her. Movie ends with them locking eyes and smiling.
Also, new plans for future DCEU movies.
Quote- Shazam and The Flash will be swapping release dates. Channing Tatum is in final negotiations to play Shazam who was The Rock's personal choice to oppose him. The film will focus heavily on the origins of Black Adam and Billy Batson embracing his destiny as a hero.The Shazam film might not be the only appearance for Black Adam. The Rock has signed a three picture deal with Warner Bros.

- The Injustice League will be the villains for Justice League Part Two. Vandal Savage and Maxwell Lord have been discussed as possible team leaders. The studio wants a human threat after many aliens threats in a row.
- A Crime Syndicate movie is in development. Zack Snyder will be directing and will reunite with David Hayter and Alex Tse. The early plan is for the film to focus on the origins of the Crime Syndicate and the fall of the anti-matter universe at the hands of the Anti-God which leads to a Justice League film.
- The Suicide Squad sequel and Birds of Prey are in early stages of development. David Ayer is expected to return for Suicide Squad Two.
- The Man of Steel sequel is no longer on hold. The studio is interested in adapting Superman: Brainiac.
- Despite the heavy talks of a Booster Gold film, the project is far from being green lit.
- Geoff Johns wants most of the Green Lantern film to take place in space.
- The Cyborg film has been cancelled and Birds of Prey will be taking its release date.
- James Wan has expressed interest in Justice League Dark. The Aquaman film will have Ocean Master and the Trench as antagonist.
- The first trailer of Justice League will be shown for the first time exclusively with Fantastic Beast and Where To Find Them.
Channing Tatum would actually make a far better Shazam than Gambit. This is good news.

- A Crime Syndicate movie is in development. Zack Snyder will be directing and will reunite with David Hayter and Alex Tse. The early plan is for the film to focus on the origins of the Crime Syndicate and the fall of the anti-matter universe at the hands of the Anti-God which leads to a Justice League film.
- The Suicide Squad sequel and Birds of Prey are in early stages of development. David Ayer is expected to return for Suicide Squad Two.
- The Man of Steel sequel is no longer on hold. The studio is interested in adapting Superman: Brainiac.
- Despite the heavy talks of a Booster Gold film, the project is far from being green lit.
- Geoff Johns wants most of the Green Lantern film to take place in space.
- The Cyborg film has been cancelled and Birds of Prey will be taking its release date.
- James Wan has expressed interest in Justice League Dark. The Aquaman film will have Ocean Master and the Trench as antagonist.
- The first trailer of Justice League will be shown for the first time exclusively with Fantastic Beast and Where To Find Them.
AGAIN: Source??
Yeah, Source? You can't spew all that out and not have a source. Literally none of the other movie sites or scoopers are running any of this.
The sources I have are unconfirmed, so take it with a grain of salt. However I find they are often confirmed shortly after by news sites, so these are obviously leaks by people at WB. The track record so far is accurate so I trust the anonymous source.

I think that one's good too, but I think it'd probably work as a sequel title better.
Guys calm down... the movie is siimply called "Justice League". They probably want to make the movie as separate from BvS as they can... beginning with skipping subtitles.

Batman recently learned in the comics from an omniscient source that there have been three Jokers. I believe Geoff Johns wrote that and he is now calling the shots for the DCCU (which is a good thing).
I think Leto's Joker is Jason Todd.

I think you might be right. Pretty sure in BvS Bruce says to Clark about the freaks dressed like clowns, plural. Might be nothing, could be something.
Willam Defoe would be a great Joker...
In the recent comics Joker has been revealed as Gelos, the greek god of laughter.

Batman asked the Mobius Chair (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Mobius_Chair) what Joker's identity was. It told him that there have been three Jokers, but that's all.

Wouldn't it have been a better choice to go with another incarnation of Flash rather than retread what's on TV now?
After seeing Batman V Superman, any of you guys really think this DC stuff is gonna work?
or do you feel anything about it hype etc?
Iver never seen such a bad movie as this Batman V Superman bad fight choreography, bad acting,
and a just bad fake decors/settings.
If you look at Nolan's Batman stuff and compare it to this, its like fast food meets high end culinair food.
Well to be honest, Nolan's batman movies were great but I'm kind of tired of all of the darkness... I miss the more joyful days. When superheros were more artificial than real. If you get my drift. However I didn't think BvS was that bad. They obviously were trying to stuff way too much into a single movie but it didn't look like a crap production. The cgi bead stuff still sucks though.
Then again I'm not much of a comic book fan, marvel movies don't appeal to me much either, although I did like Guardians of the Galaxy. Still from the short trailer I liked the extra humor and the characters of yet introduce films seemed alright. I'm not hyped to see the movies though. Overall it's just not my thing. Still I wish someone would make a retro superman movie. No need for a grand vs battle. Just some light hearted action and doing what is right would be more than a little uplifting.
I think DC is going to rival Marvel in the cinema going forward.
I think WB will strip down their movies to being basic "action flicks" like marvel... since the whole philosophical approach in BvS didnt work out the way they wanted to.
For me the reason why that didnt work was because of the director. Zach Snyder is a straightforward action director, not a philosopher like Orson Welles. I think Justice League will be much more straight forward action fun and thats exactly what Snyder is good at.
I think Afflecks "Batman" will return to those dark, faustian and morally conflicted themes and to be honest, I have much more faith in Affleck pulling that off than Zach.
I still think though the redefining movie that will revitalise the genre will be Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman, simply because those are the only 2 daring movies and so far I feel like that will pay off.
I really thought Man of Steel and Batman vs Superman were awesome so far, the stories too.

Bad fight choreography? Did you see the Batman warehouse brawl. Thats the best Batman fight scene ever committed to screen. The Bat V Superman fight also was a fanboys dream with amazing cinematography.
This is pure awesome

Reaily BvS choreography is bad then u wernt paying attention to TDKR Because its awful in that film.
Man, when I heard Ben Affleck was going to be the new Batman, I was thinking George Clooney all over again...But after seeing BvS I have to say he played an excellent role as an aged, more experienced, smarter Batman. The fight scenes were all pretty damn good too. I think he's the perfect choice to play the role of Robert Downey JR's Iron Man bringing superheroes together, as it shows him doing in the JLA trailer. I don't think Bale had the charisma to be good in that department.
So yeah, the Superman actor, Batman actor and Wonder Woman actress I find are perfect. The Flash, Aquaman, Green Lantern, Cyborg, remains to be seen I guess..

they were considering other actresses that looked more like the original iris, but the director has worked with this certain actress multiple times so its obvious he would pick her so its more of coincidence that the tv and movie iris would be black.

That's actually very interesting, in my opinion. Makes sense in a way.
The fighting starts earlier but the cringe starts at 2:23 the soldier puts his leg up before Batman is on it,
at 2:27 the soldier already gets on his knees.
Once its seen it cant be unseen, and i dont think its part of the movie is it?

Thats what they are told to do. Thats even what they did during the 9/11 attack.
Is it time to talk about DCEU's villain problem? A common criticism against the MCU films has been that the villains are only so-so, for the most part. They serve their purpose, but ultimately the focus is on the heroes & their journey. The villains, some argue, are underdeveloped. People point to villains in the Batman films, & even the original Superman films as something they thought Marvel was lacking. In this DCEU though, that same problem seems to exist, right? Enchantress is being widely described as awful. Doomsday felt tacked on in BvS, & his appearance ridiculed. Some people like the new takes on Lex & Joker, but a lot of people found Lex annoying, myself included, & while I haven't seen Suicide Squad, I've hated what I've seen of new Joker in advertisements. That doesn't represent a minority opinion either. Zod might be the best, & even still he was a whiny bitch in MoS.
Bring on Team 7 and I/O I say ;)
From what I seen of the new Joker, he seems very much like a poor man's Heath Ledger mixed in with urban gangster fashion.

Too early to talk about that, they're only three films in. We've had Zod, Lex and Enchantress so far. Hes been the best developed comicbook villain since Heath Ledgers Joker. He had more character development in two hours than all of the MCU combined.
Pajiba published an article today from a former WB employee about Kevin Tsujihara running the studio to the ground.
http://www.pajiba.com/think_pieces/an-open-letter-to-warner-bros-ceo-kevin-tsujihara-about-layoffs-zack-snyder-and-donuts.php
A big thing that stuck out from the article is this blurb about Wonder Woman.
QuoteWhat are you even doing? I wish to God you were forced to live out of a car until you made a #1 movie of the year. Maybe Wonder Woman wouldn't be such a mess. Don't try to hide behind the great trailer. People inside are already confirming it's another mess. It is almost impressive how you keep rewarding the same producers and executives for making the same mistakes, over and over.
Kinda disappoints me to here Wonder Woman is a mess, I was actually rather looking forward to that one.
It's hard to distinguish if the is real or fake. If it's real then that's very disappointing
Even if it's real, I don't know that i'd lend it much credence. Guy seems like a disgruntled ex-employee. Also, he bought into the company line that Man Of Steel was a box office failure. I still don't know why they viewed it as such, when it made near $675 mil WW. That's higher than any MCU phase 1 film not named Avengers.

While I can't speak for much of the specifics on Man Of Steel's performance as I haven't really looked much into that movie at all. but all the Phase One MCU movies (excluding Iron Man 2 which cost $200M) only cost $140-$150 across the board and MOS had the high and inflated budget of $225, so that plays into it a lot.

Marvel budgeted well. DC has spent rather liberally, which is why for both BvS & Suicide Squad there were reports that each movie had to make a boat load of money to turn a profit. Even so, Man Of Steel would have tripled its budget worldwide. I think the perception of what a hit is had changed. When Avengers hit $1.5 billion, it blew expectations out of the water, but increased everyone's expectations going forward. But before that, Thor at $450 WW & Cap 1 at $370 were viewed as successes. The Avengers & Phase 2 films really kicked things into overdrive. It's what prompted some to try and pin Ant-Man as a flop despite it's $500+ mil haul. In the world of DC, Batman Begins only made $375 mil. One notable difference there though is it earned 4x it's opening weekend in the states. Remarkable legs for a superhero film. We're sure lucky they decided to move forward with a sequel.
Also, back to the tell-all that claims Wonder Woman is a mess, Patty Jenkins has taken to Twitter to call BS. Even before she did, people I had seen discussing it had all but dismissed it. WW needs to be a hit. And I don't just mean make money, like Suicide Squad is. It needs to win audiences over.

You have to take into account merchandise and licensing, Suicide Squad would have made a good chunk outside of the box office. We're never told those numbers which is why I rarely acknowledge that films like these need to make X amount at the box office to be profitable.
But you got to think that maybe WB could be making theeee movies intentionally crappy because they know it will just make money anyway,
That would be corporate suicide if they did any of this on purpose. No, its more desperation from Warner Brothers to have a new steady cash show since Harry Potter and the TDK Trilogy are over.

Pretty sure they're going to greenlight it very soon. After the great re$ults of Suicide Squad, they'll want to repeat the success by presenting another team of little known characters. It works because they won't be under pressure of creating something loyal to the comic books because these characters are largely unknown.
No doubt they'll use Enchantress again in some fashion for it.

Yeah, I like that they're deciding to go with an unexpected choice, rather than rehash Joker or some other Batman only villain. Deathstroke can go toe to toe with Batman (and win) is pretty damn smart and tactical, so it should be an interesting conflict to see on screen.
Exciting news! I hope they capture the element of instant tactical thinking (or whatever it's called) that Deathstroke has, where he can plan out ambushes and tactics instantaneously in the middle of a fight.
Oh i like that. Great choice. Means they can save some other characters for SS2
Now give me some Arkham Origins level fighting here and I'll be happy!
Love that they're straying from typical Batman rogues. Deathstroke was wonderful on Arrow, though that was a product of excellent long form storytelling. Wonder if he'll be hinted at in Justice League in any capacity. Also, which do you reckon we'll get first, MoS2 or solo Batman? Which would you prefer first?

Neither if Snyder is directing.

Well, Affleck is directing Batman. Unless MoS2 happens after Justice League 2, then I don't think Snyder has time for MoS2. That's assuming he'll be helming the 2nd JL.
I would have preferred an actual Batman villain, to be honest. I can live with the choice, though.
I'd also like to see more of what happened to Robin.

Beaten with a crowbar and blown up?
some neato Reddit leaks for DCEU surfaced and were taken down
source: http://www.screengeek.net/2016/08/31/rumor-large-list-of-warner-bros-future-plans-for-dceu-leaks/
Quote
-Cyborg is out, folks. Expect a full Titans flick with Deathstroke as the main antagonist. Nightwing is in it, though, if that's any consolation. Cyborg will be in the Flash movie. Barry and Vic knew each other in school.
-Deathstroke was offered to a bunch of actors but it ultimately went to Joe Manganiello.
-Sequel to Man of Steel will be released in 2020 (the name Superman will not be in the title). Villain is Braniac. They're trying to court several directors including J.J. Abrams and Duncan Jones. Other characters being considered include Supergirl and Superboy. Lex Luthor will be a key character in Braniac's new origin. I believe the origin they have planned at the moment is Lex uses Kryptonian and alien tech to enhance LexOS and it becomes Braniac. From what I've seen though, they DEFINITELY want Braniac in a physical comic book-y form, not as some AI controlling drones or machines or something.
-Edgar Wright is also being courted for a DCEU project.
-They're trying not to make Justice League feel overcrowded but it's very clear that there is a lot they're working with already. Looking to be a long movie. They know they can't cut out a ton of stuff and repeat past mistakes.
-Justice League's villain is Steppenwolf as you all know. The League fights Parademons for a good chunk of the film. Lex is let out of prison and gets the public to love him. He tries to manipulate the public into hating heroes like Batman and Superman but it doesn't work. Lex helps Steppenwolf come to Earth in exchange for technology and knowledge. Lex is very manipulative and much calmer than he was in BvS. He's also much scarier in my opinion. There's a funny scene after the League is assembled where Joker and Harley are committing a crime and they expect Batman to show up...when the whole League arrives. It's really funny and Joker and Harley just stand there, not knowing what to do now. Kind of like a "Well...shit" moment. Later, the League get their asses kicked by Steppenwolf but then Superman returns and weakens him. The full Justice League then works together to defeat Steppenwolf in an awesome climactic fight reminiscent of the big fight scene in The Avengers. Superman has a beard, long hair, tattered/scorched-looking black suit, and is thin at first (not as thin as Flashpoint Superman but still thin). During the fight with Steppenwolf, you see his full strength return with each swing and with each second he's in the sunlight. Green Lantern shows up at the very very end of the film (may even be moved to mid/post-credit scene). There's a full Darkseid tease at the end buuuuut...
-Justice League 2 may or may not use Darkseid as the villain. The biggest concern is comparisons to Thanos. They may hold off and use him further down the line once the dust has settled following Infinity War. Other villains being considered are the Injustice League, the Crime Syndicate and The Society. They really want multiple villains for the sequel for some reason. Tower of Babel is also being discussed as a possible plot.
-Justice League 2 will be pushed back to the end of 2019 to make room for Justice League Dark (which will have a different title to not confuse moviegoers).
-Aquaman will release August 2018. The villain is Black Manta, though as far as I know he has not been cast yet. The concept sketches do show the full suit which made me very excited. They want Black Manta to be a Darth Vader-esque character, in that his voice and presence is intimidating and terrifying even when he's not fighting. Aqualad is in it and serves his father for a good chunk of the film. He eventually switches sides and helps Aquaman. There's a cool fight scene planned where Aquaman and Aqualad fight Black Manta's army before Aquaman goes off to fight Black Manta at the end.
-Flash's release date is March 2018. Villains are the Rogues, led by a really...creepy Captain Cold. The film is going to be really fun but Captain Cold is...strange. Creepy is really the best way I can describe it. I'm not entirely sold on the concept so hopefully it'll work better on the big screen. He wears a sleek mechanical suit that has the same color scheme and pattern as his comic book incarnation. They noticed how fan's loved the Speedforce scenes in the show and hope to put their own spin on something similar.
-The Batman film (right now called The Batman though they're considering other titles) will release October 5 2018. Current plot has Black Mask as the main villain breaking other villains out of Arkham to kill Batman. Joker and Harley have a subplot involving a bomb to blow up all the inmates once Batman recaptures them all that results in Harley leaving the Joker because of the abuse and Batman trying to rehabilitate her. Deathstroke is sent in by Waller to help contain the situation so she can use them for her own means but Batman fights Deathstroke and promises Waller that he's coming for her next. Deadshot is also in it but leaves the Asylum to be with his daughter instead of getting his revenge on Batman. There's a really cool scene where Black Mask lines all the villains up and asks who will join him to get revenge (this scene will focus a lot on Deadshot's reactions, making it clear he wants only freedom). Many of the villains get away in the end, with Batman promising to hunt them all down. The film will end with Batman overlooking Gotham and seeing one of the B-List villains (has yet to be decided) committing a crime.
-Luke Evans was approached to play Sinestro in Green Lantern Corp. Not sure if he agreed. The film will be lighthearted and fun. They're modeling the tone after old cheesy scifi serials. As of right now, the villain will be Sinestro with a tease of Atrocitus towards the end (subject to change however). They want to explore the various Lantern Corps with this film and the sequels.
-They want to do something fresh and new to revamp Black Adam in Shazam. From what I've heard, Dwayne Johnson has been in constant communication about what they could do to make this film better. Billy is also a huge Justice League fan and he meets them at the end of the film as Shazam.
-Misha Collins, Channing Tatum, Milo Ventimiglia, Steven Yeun, and Jake Gyllenhaal have been approached for various roles.
-Rob Lowe was approached to play one of the villains in the Flash film. They apparently really want him to play a villain.
-Emily Blunt, Rosamund Pike, Alexandria Daddario, and Jessica Chastain have also been approached.
-Expect full trailers for both Wonder Woman and Justice League emphasizing the "fun" of these movies. The Wonder Woman trailer shows the villain a little. Also expect a bunch of announcements regarding casting, release dates being moved, a few new films being added to the slate, plans for DCEU shows and DCEU animated movies (no shows or movies will be announced, just that they will make stuff that tie in), and more.
-Going off that last bit, they're planning on bringing the DCEU shows to HBO exclusively. Ideas being tossed around include Birds of Prey, Nightwing, The Question (heavily being considered as being the first, last I heard), The Phantom Stranger, Zatanna, and Doctor Fate.
-The animated films will show what some of the characters are up to during the events of the other films.
-Suicide Squad 2 will happen though after 2020, likely to be 2021. Will have a slightly altered roster. It also will not be directed by David Ayer.
-The DCEU has been mapped out to about 2025.
-The Booster Gold/Blue Beetle movie is up in the air right now. They're leaning on the edge of approving it after the success of Deadpool but may use it as an HBO show.
I reckon its a fake tbh.
Although i do think Luke Evans as Sinestro would be intriguing casting
You mean all that I just read is fake? Lol..dumb ass colonists...
Well we assume it is. I think all that info in one go is a bit suspect
Some new rumors/leaks of the upcoming DC films
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.duniaku.net%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F06%2Fsupesart21.jpg&hash=2c4362220639b486eabdc283e7afd3a7a3351b2b)
- Geoff Johns is supervising all movies aside from SHAZAM and JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK, which are being developed by New Line Cinema. His job is basically to outline the plot alongside the director, providing the basis which the writer will work with, and make sure all movies are tonally consistent and following WB's notes and demands.
- The New Line projects are lightly connected to the DCEU, but won't feature heavily in crossovers, so don't expect Shazam or John Constantine showing up on a Justice League movie.
- Zack Snyder is still an executive producer on all movies. He's no longer directing JUSTICE LEAGUE 2, but he's in talks to direct the standalone MAN OF STEEL sequel. JUSTICE LEAGUE 2 is generally being restructured from its original version.
- WB is generally priorizing up-and-coming filmmakers with a solid track record in smaller-scale projects that they believe are ready to make the jump to big budget blockbusters, with the ultimate goal of establishing "in-house" directors that they can use in all their projects, not necessarily just DC adaptations. While there's an ongoing "arms race" of sorts for raw talent, studios also priorize these young, largely unproven directors because they're easier to control and influence.
- WB is fully aware of the poor critical reception their movies are getting, and while there are efforts to get them more in line with what the fans are expecting, a lot of executives buy into notions like "pro-Marvel bias" and "critics just didn't get it". They panicked when BATMAN V SUPERMAN under performed, but some of those beliefs have been reaffirmed by the SUICIDE SQUAD's solid box office in spite of bad reviews. Basically, while Johns is course-correcting some stuff, they'll stick to the formula that is making money even if they hit the single digits scores on RT and the likes.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net%2Fm4nbzdyFWW3ZDYNF59Uc6P-970-80.jpg&hash=349e525bc9a895d98bc21a8952441d1e529aec76)
- There were substantial script rewrites early into production after the BATMAN V SUPERMAN backlash, in order to streamline the narrative and add more humor.
- It's shaping up to be a pretty long movie, a 3h+ rough cut is a foregone conclusion already, so it'll require some pretty substantial editing when the push comes to shove. Snyder and David Brenner are already sorting out what stays and what goes to avoid another BvS scenario, but WB is also seeing some money in lining up another Ultimate Edition for 2018.
- Studio heads are happy with the dailies so far and expecting Flash to be the breakout character. They think the movie can launch him to the A-list and make him as big as the Marvel top dogs like Captain America and Iron Man
- Deathstroke is in the movie. He's one of the characters the studio really wants to make "happen", so they're pushing him in this, SUICIDE SQUAD and the standalone BATMAN movie. He was written into the plot during filming, though, so don't expect him to have a large role.
- Joe Manganiello is in final talks to play Deathstroke. He's been on Snyder's radar since MAN OF STEEL, where he was one of the biggest contenders to the Superman role, and was also approached for Deadshot in SUICIDE SQUAD before the character was rewritten to fit Will Smith's style.
- Liam Neeson is being sought to voice Steppenwolf, who's being played by stuntmen in mo-cap suits. They want someone with a distinctive voice and a big enough name they can use to drawn in the crowd. Idris Elba and Anthony Hopkins are also options, among others, but they're favoring Neeson right now, since he's usually receptive to this kind of role and already has ties with the studio and even DC all the way back to Nolan's Batman movies. Whoever they end up getting, the name is as important as the voice itself for them.

- WB is expecting a box office hit and are lowballing at $600 million worldwide. Expect marketing to play up the angle of this being the first big female superhero movie about the first big female superhero in comics.
- Test-audiences have been held lately and the public has generally been receptive, it seems. But there's been some complaints about the middle part of the movie, which is apparently too slow and has been deemed "boring". They'll find a way to put some action in it, either by rearranging some events and with some minor reshoots.
- Feedback has been surprisingly positive for Chris Pine's character, Steve Trevor. His screentime is honestly comparable to Gal Gadot's and people have responded well to the love story. WB is entertaining some ideas on how to bring him back even though he dies[/spoiler] and what attracted Pine to the role in the first place was its "one-and-done" nature.
- Don't put a lot of faith in the villains on this one. They're shaping up to be pretty generic in both motivations and overall characterizations, though Circe and Ares both have interesting designs.
- The ending is supposed to lead directly into JUSTICE LEAGUE, including a Batman cameo.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.sciencefiction.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F07%2FThe-Flash-movie-banner.jpg&hash=c021ececcec51c791eb050c1a9fb3e221db896d2)
- WB has the Flash lined up as their Spider-Man-esque teen appeal character, and his movie is supposed to reflect that, and it's part of the reason why Rick Famuyiwa was hired. Expect a pretty lighthearted tone and aesthetic, similar to stuff like DOPE or SCOTT PILGRIM and maybe even the final cut of SUICIDE SQUAD.
- They're also banking heavily on the romance aspect, and the mandate is for Barry and Iris West to be "quirky, charming, cute". They're being made into best friends who don't realize their both have feelings for each other at first.
- The supporting roles are being cast right now, mostly Barry's colleagues at the police department. They're polling from different eras from the comics to build up the cast. As for the villains, they're generally looking for up-and-coming indie/alternative types, like Ezra Miller and Kiersey Clemons themselves are.
- The villains are, per the casting sheet, the "Snart Siblings", Len and Lisa. They'll both the meta-humans, and Lisa is apparently being made into a pyrokinetic for maximum poetry with Len being an ice guy. They're also being made relatively young, with casting looking at late 20's at max. Names I've heard for Len include Emory Cohen and Jack O'Connell, while for Lisa people like Maika Monroe, Juno Temple and Iris West runner-up Lucy Boynton have been mentioned.
- Captain Cold's presence here nearly got him embargoed from the TV show, but Johns worked out a deal. However, Golden Glider has pretty much been written out of that. Her actress got another gig anyway, so it wasn't hard.
- The movie sets up the mystery of Barry's mother's death looking out to introduce the Reverse Flash in a sequel. They initially wanted to explore that in the first movie, but they're so certain this is their solo series with the best legs they want to space things out before they bring in the biggest villain in the mythos.

- The studio is pretty confident JUSTICE LEAGUE will jumpstart Aquaman's popularity, but the script so far got some pretty expensive-sounding setpieces that are being scaled down to a more agreeable level. The logistics of underwater action scenes and dialogue are being very carefully studied.
- Kind of a no-brainer, but Amber Heard and Willem Dafoe will get major play here after their introductory bit parts in JUSTICE LEAGUE
- Notable actors are being approached for some higher-level roles (Aquaman's parents, Black Manta, Orm), and casting will start early next year for the smaller roles. They're seeking a Mediterrean/Hawaiian actor to play Aquaman's father.
- Black Manta is being tweaked so his family has a deeper connection to Atlantis, but otherwise he's apparently sticking very close to how Johns' writes him. Orm is also being set-up as a potential villain further down the line.
- Expect a lot of Lovecraftian-esque deep-sea monsters to appear. The script calls for a "curse" involving them and the search for somr sort of key that'll inform the plot and serve as the MacGuffin.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcbr.imgix.net%2Fimglib%2Fgreen-lantern-corps-logo-f1e01.jpg%3Fauto%3Dformat%26amp%3Blossless%3D1%26amp%3Bq%3D40%26amp%3Bw%3D791%26amp%3Bh%3D441%26amp%3Bfit%3Dcrop&hash=27efd0266e527cef49eebd6a79773c833e7b8c54)
- The MAN OF STEEL sequel just entered development stage. Snyder is expected to direct, and Kurt Johnstand, who tweaked the MoS script, has been approached to write the script, which will featured Brainiac
- The standalone BATMAN movie is being written by Ben Affleck and Geoff Johns with Deathstroke serving as the main antagonist and a "substantial" role for Jared Leto's Joker.
- The SUICIDE SQUAD sequel is in very early stages of development, with plans to bring back the entire cast. Deathstroke might he included in it depending on how the schedule works out. No word on David Ayer's return, although the studio wants him to at least direct it.
- SHAZAM and DARK UNIVERSE are coming along under the New Line banner and therefore not much is known about them. Directors are already being scouted for SHAZAM and actors for DARK UNIVERSE, for a 2018/2019 release date.
- CYBORG is in very early development, no script yet, writers still being picked. Same for GREEN LANTERN CORPS. It is known, however, that WB wants to build the new franchise on John Stewart and Kyle Rayner as mismatched partners and rookies (a by-the-book hardass military and a wisecracking, sensitive artist). Jordan will have a much smaller role so to distance themselves as much as possible from the 2011 movie that flopped. Sinestro will probably be the villain, though.
- Harley Quinn and Deathstroke movies are very possible, and there's active interest from both parts in a Deadshot spin-off movie as well.
- Blue Beetle/Booster Gold movie is still in the cards, with a very comedy-based, lower-budget script, but Greg Berlanti's involvement seems to no longer be happening. Metal Men feature film, either completely animated or CGI/live-action also in the cards.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn2-www.comingsoon.net%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F01%2Fjustice-league-header-11.png&hash=c2ed381237c12d554b54a6e8301aeb196f466737)
- JUSTICE LEAGUE 2 is in a state of flux right now. The studio wants a fresh approach from a new director. The release date in 2019 is being kept for the moment because it's prime cinema real estate, but it might get changed depending on how long it takes to find the guy with the right approach. The fact it's opening a few months short of the final AVENGERS movie with Thanos is also weighting on them. They're doing Darkseid and the whole New Gods mythos and they want it to be a surefire, failproof hit. This is the only movie where whispers of big-name directors being courted is real. They want that sweet in-between, with someone that's both established, solid and has a name, but is also willing to play a lot of ball, and let other people call his shots. They've already offered it to Affleck, but he says he's only directing Batman solo stuff as far as he's concerned. One name that keeps being mentioned is one they have some discussions for a prior version of the JUSTICE LEAGUE project way back in 2011/2012: Matthew Vaughn. They feel the dude is primed for what they need. But there's other names to consider of guys that are just blowing up with solid franchise work, but without having gotten their heads too big. People like Colin Trevorrow, Rian Johnson, Matt Reeves, Francis Lawrence are the guys they'll be on the lookout for.
- The other big project they're lining up is a TITANS movie headlined by Cyborg and Nightwing, who'll be introduced in the standalone BATMAN movie, bringing in the other classic characters like Starfire, Changeling and Raven. And this is also another case where building up Deathstroke will pay off big time, he's supposed to get some rivalry with Nightwing going in the BATMAN movie that'll carry over in the TITANS movie where he's supposed to be a chief antagonist. For the studio the dude is a billion dollar mix of everything people like about Captain America, Wolverine and Deadpool, and they're gonna milk that guy dry.

MOS II (pretty much) confirmed:
http://www.cbr.com/man-of-steel-2-confirmed-by-henry-cavills-agent/
Well its taken them long enough to do MOSII.
What do you think they'll call it Man of Tomorrow? lol
I hear the original plans before Batman vs Superman took precedent was Superman to have two sequels. One would be called Son of Krypton, and the next being Man of Tomorrow. The second movie would have had Braniac, and the third movie to bring in Doomsday and kill off Superman closing off a long story arc.

Could have been interesting. Although Son of Krypton i think is a bad title. Sure it fits the Superman mythos, but as a movie title, its a bit meh lol.
They could have done Man of Tomorrow as the sequel and then into Batman vs Superman : Dawn of Justice, still keeping the Doomsday parts of that, with Doomsday being a creation of Brainiac and Luthor as a contingiency plan, should their efforts in Man of Tomorrow be thwarted. And the reason Batman goes after him in the first half is because Superman is the reason these Alien beings are now focused on Earth and what if he becomes like them. Then you build from there, foes become allies. Leading to the final battle kinda as was from the actual movie. Have the Wonder Woman movie and first Batman movie before BVS. Wonder Woman comes out of hiding, because as a child of the Gods she knows they will need to band together.
Boom i could have saved the DCCU right there lol

Lol. Whiskeybrewer you follow Superman comics? It makes sense what you're saying. It feels like DC is rushing it...but in the end I think their plan will work out. They better not screw up with JLA at this point. I don't see how they can though.

Not that closely, but i do know some of the important details and how some link to other characters. Like how Doomsday was originally created on Krypton by a member of Brainiac's race. But when it went out of control it was contained and shot into space, by Kryptonian's and the Green Lantern Corp at that time. Which they kind of referenced in BVS, when the computer mentions that the abomination was created before
I actually thought the Doomsday stuff kind of worked, as a way for Superman to finally win the earth's trust and inspire Batman to pull himself out of the hole he was in.

x1000 agree on that.
Now please drop that angsty Superman and give us the true Man of Tomorrow :D
Whatever is going on I'm liking DC more now than that Civil War stuff. But as long as there is a major league villain like Doomsday, Thanos, Brainiac, Galactus, Apocalypse, Ultron, Anti-Monitor, etc and not the puny same old boring ones like the Joker, Luthor, Green Goblin, Penguin...I'm happy.

I actually thought the Doomsday stuff kind of worked, as a way for Superman to finally win the earth's trust and inspire Batman to pull himself out of the hole he was in.
That i agree with, that is what i would have kept, i would have just had a different lead in to it lol
Doomsday was nothing more than a special guest, final boss. There is no reason for him to exist and I think that was even said in the movie.
Only problem I had with Doomsday was the way he looked. Good thing is, he's known not for being invincible. He can be brought back again in a future film.
Has anyone actually read Death of Superman on here? It's pretty crappy.

He looked exactly like the cave troll from Lord of the Rings the Fellowship, but he evolves every time, so that was his basic appearance. I hope he makes it back at some point.
He should change into something like this:

Doomsday was just too early a character to use. I feel going with the whole image Lex was painting Superman as, it would have been better if he made a Bizzaro Superman creature.

I know the director's cut or whatever is R rated but maybe they changed up Doomsday's look to get an R rating in theaters. The movie is glum and brooding and pretty violent as is, Doomsday looking like his comic self may have been too much?

FFS that pisses me off. Such a terrible mindset for business. I bet these executives are old as **** and just want their coke, hookers and yacht paid for so they can charlie sheen the **** out of their retirement.
Why not use this guaranteed exposure to put out a top quality piece of work and bring more and more people in to see their products and bring in more money then they otherwise would?! Makes sense right? WTF.

That way everyone can finally write off the DC Universe as a complete and total failure and don't go see Justice League which will in turn make it bomb hard.

Oh I certainly don't. really I hate being Mean-Spirited I prefer much more positive fun attitudes but if these many leaks are to be believed, many of the Execs at Warner's think of their customers as cash cows that give them money and are perfectly fine dishing out inferior grade movies just to get MONIEz with no regard for any lasting impact or anything really.
If somebody honestly thinks that poorly regarding their Customers. than really they deserve to fail of course I would feel bad for everyone involved all the people doing the real work but man, do the Execs irritate me.
Still, if Wonder is good I'll see it.
If not than I definitely won't see it not after BVS that's for sure.

Gotcha - now I understand.
I think if the WB execs are guilty of anything its greed-over-good (something we can level at most if not all studios to be fair). That said, I don't think anyone was setting out to make an intentionally bad movie.
IF they'd allowed Snyder to release the "Extended Cut" as opposed to the more-bums-on-seats theatrical cut, I think that the reaction to the movie would have been much more positive. It makes a hell of a lot more sense.
One of the things I think Snyder is guilty of (I love him for it) is too much fan service. To really appreciate BvS you have to be a bit of a DC nerd - and I think a lot of that stuff is really confusing for your casual movie-goer.
As I've said before - the thing about all these movies so far is that people talk about them and continue to talk about them long after the theatrical and dvd releases. They're interesting, divisive, sure - but they generate a lot of talk which I think is great.
I've got Suicide Squad for an xmas gift (I tried to get my daughter into the cinema and the guy wanted ID for her. Busted) so I'm really looking forward to that.
Haha, Snyder you legend:

for me Squad showed that he is the worst possible guy for such a gig. From writing the script in 5 weeks through not even grasping his own's film continuity (Harley/Joker/Robin situation where the interviews Ayer gives about that contradict what is in the movie) to the whole mess with as much as 8 cuts of the movie and not directing Jared Leto at all. That WB is giving him this shows they only care about how much money the movie makes, not the quality. I'm losing hope for Batfleck's solo and since extended cut of Squad was still so laughably mild comparing to what they shot I'm skipping Wonder Woman and JL in theaters

I wouldnt blame Ayers for Suicide Squad. He delivered one cut of the movie based on his script. Then the Studio saw peoples reactions to the trailer and got him to reshoot bits and recut stuff in a different order. He did the best with the time and later stipulations he was given.
I think they've given him this movie based on his original cut, which was what was originally asked for

eh there are some problems with his original version (going by novelization). Yeah it is much better, but it's still not very good. Also it's not him who reshot the movie - it was the production company which edited Bohemian Rhapsody trailer. Yep. That happened. WB got a trailer company to re-edit the film.
WB didn't like his cut. I think the only reason he is getting this next gig is the good money the movie made and WB doesn't care at all about reviews and general public's opinion. They just want $, making actual good film isn't low on their list of priorities - it's not there at all.

Don't forget he had to rewrite the whole film when Tom Hardy left for Revenant reshoots. Rick Flagg was the main character up until that point so even the novelisation doesn't reflect his original story.
If I was to pick someone for Poison Ivy, I would definitely pick Angelina Jolie. You need an older woman who really can do the femme fatale role well. Look at the movie Beowulf and her portrayal of Grendel's mother.
Great choice. Megan is essentially Angie-lite, isn't she. But lets face it, they're both off the scale on the "being really beautiful" scale.

Don't blame him for jumping from the chair. A project this big can't work with one person calling all the shots.
Reeves would be perfect.
That and he's probably exhausted from doing BvS, Justice League, Live by Night, and however many cameos WB has him doing as Batman.

looks like a done deal to me. Seriously, this is one of the greatest news for me as a fan of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. I really feel he could be exactly what a new take on Batman needs.
Depends if WB lets the director have control and don't screw it up like all their other DC films.
Reeves will leave the project in 3... 2... 1...
Well even in that case, there might be even greater talent waiting to direct the caped crusader: Sir Ridley Scott himself :o

Martian dude, American Gangster has greatness in it as well. Although, he's very hit and miss.
The Martian was mediocre at best.
Martian was a great success, critically and financially. Body of Lies wasnt a financial hit but was praised all the same.
Scott has it in him if he doesnt "Scott out" like he did in Robin Hood or Prometheus.
Despite that I really dont see it work. WB will want him on a tight leash and frankly Sir Scott will never accept that. I still prefer Reeves as director, since I think his visual style would fit fairly well in this world.
Reeves is a much better director than Affleck.
Project just went up a bit in my "hype" list.

First off, I'm not a hater of the DC universe. I actually enjoy it much more than Marvel. I think MoS and BvS were very good movies. SS was okay. It was obviously dicked around with by the studio, but still I enjoyed it over all. Not the extended cut though, I thought it was boring.
You know I've been hearing that JL and WW have been having problems. Of course that could just be internet BS to get people worried, but if it turns out to be true then I think WB should take some time off and start over with a fresh game plan. They've should've done that to begin with. I wanted a MoS sequel before BvS, but the success of the Marvel movies was to much for them to wait it out. It's always about the $$$.
I don't want them to start it over, but I also don't want actors to be jumping ship left and right. Ben did a great as Batman and I hope he stays on board. I think if JL does a better job critically, he will.
Agree on that, is not the universe is the problem but the creative direction of the movies. If WB reboots and they keep on their crappy creative management of their movies, then nothing would change.
And then theirs the people so loyal to the DC brand that they will dig in and claim their movies are cinematic art house pieces and naysayers are just Marvel shills or children who cant understand grown up stories.
You don't understand, you childish Marvel shill. ;D
The rumour mill continues to churn:
"I do have some news on The Batman. As I'm sure you've read, WB has extended an offer to Matt Reeves to direct The Batman. For whatever reason, a lot of sources are claiming he's accepted. That, as far as I can tell, is not true.
My firm will actually be doing the press release when the contract is finalized and thus far, we have not been given the go ahead to print it. I expect you will see it within the next few days (everything I hear says the deal is imminent)...."

Batman Negotiations Break Down With Director Matt Reeves
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/batman-negotiations-break-down-director-matt-reeves-977266
I can honestly do without another Batman solo movie for a long time. It's WB who can't stand the thought of passing up those Bat-dollars.
I find it hilarious that an Aquaman movie is on more solid ground than a Batman movie.

Aquaman is a clean slate though, a Batman movie is going to be compared to The Dark Knight (considered by many to be the holy grail of superhero movies). It's about quality control.
I remember after Batman Begins WB wanted Superman Returns to tie into it until the movie tanked and they let Nolan make TDK instead.

There is way too much weight on the Batman film. WB need to wait a couple years before they even think about going into production. A few genuine hits, like Wonder Woman and Justice League, will alleviate a lot of the pressure.

BvS and SS were big hits. WW and JL will probably be big hits. No sense in waiting.
Suicide Squad was a big hit, Batman V Superman not so much. While it did essentially make back its budget and profit it failed the bar set WB were hoping for it to surpass a billion dollars, with the backlash of poor reviews.
I don't get people saying BvS failed just because it didn't make a billion dollars on its theatrical run (dvd/bluray sales would have pushed it above a billion anyway). It still made a shitload of money and is one of the most successful superhero movies of all time (ranking 12, according to box office mojo). And all this despite negative feedback. That is hardly a failure, no matter how you cut it.
Batman and Robin was successful. It made 238.2 million dollars over its 125 million dollar budget.

Thus my point is financial success does not equate to studio expectations success.

Apples and oranges. BvS outgrossed its predecessor. Batman and Robin did not.
Except Batman v Superman was an ensemble piece, so its hard to compare it to the success of Man of Steel. That would be like saying Ant Man didn't make as much money as Avengers did so it failed. It practically was a mini Justice League movie with the inclusion of Wonder Woman and The Flash for that brief moment. Now if we had a Man of Steel 2 and it didn't make more money as the first then it would be considered a proper flop.

That's what's confusing about these shared universe films. If BvS is supposed to be Justice League Part 1 then you can't compare it to the other Batman films, because it's not a Batman film. Batman and Robin is a Batman film, and sequel to Batman Forever. I count BvS as a sequel to Man of Steel but I can understand how it might not be viewed that way.
A genuine hit is a film that does well both financially and is backed up critically. BvS was a financial hit, maybe not as big as WB had hoped, SS was a big hit. I still think Batman v Superman didn't deserve the pounding it took from reviewers, it was just the wrong film at the wrong time (critics were waiting for a comic book filmed to attempt to step over the edge to greatness, just so they could slam it). Suicide Squad is a terrible film, an example in how to destroy a film in post production.
Suicide Squad isn't perfect, but it's not terrible. Both BvS and SS did a lot to advance the superhero genre.
Suicide Squad was enjoyable the first time, it just gets worse with each viewing.
I doubt we'll ever see another comic book film like BvS. Unless WB stick to their guns and keep true to their vision for the series.

Good director, I liked Cloverfield not Let Me In though but only because it's a remake of a much better movie.
For me it was the latest ape movie that propelled him to the higher talents of hollywood blockbuster territory.
I would have liked Dawn a lot more if the humans sans Gary Oldman had been more than just one note carictures. But Reeves has the goddamn Batman to work with here, so I doubt that will be a problem.

Who cares about Nightwing? He's just a less interesting version of Red Hood, who is a less interesting version of Punisher. Gimme a Teen Titans movie instead.

Considering how everyone went as Joker and Harley for halloween, the makeup wasn't hard to pull off. Neon Demon or Star Trek Beyond should have gotten that award.

Listen don't get me wrong. I'm the most confused: I'm living in a world where Suicide Squad gets an Oscar, Mel Gibson is in negotiations to direct the second one...

Still, the Killer Croc make up was pretty spot on.
The makeup just looks cartoony and unrealistic for Killer Croc. He's not a mutant lizard man, but a guy born with a rare skin disease that gives him the reptilian appearance. This is what they should have gone for.

Yep, and he should've been much bigger. The actor they got was the same size as actress that played Harley Quinn.
I think the movie is fun, but I really hated what they did to Killer Croc.
According to rumors, Black Adam would get a spinoff or probably Shazam will be the spinoff and Black Adam the first movie.
Also, Cyborg is apparently cancelled. And there's a planned Wonder Woman 2, almost sure to be greenlighted.

Just saying. There's a buff Joker out there with a deep Jamaican accent who has two Hyenas. Is it really surprising that a good number of Killer Croc designs emphasize his croc-ness?

At this point it is starting to look like it may not happen at all. Which would be fine by me seeing the current state of the DCU.
Unfortunately Killer Croc is a victim of exaggeration due to not having a house style nailed down on him, letting artists take liberties to make him more anthropomorphic.
On the topic of Affleck, I don't blame him for hitting the bottle. His dream project crashed and burned, the responsibilities of making the DC movies work, with WB as usual out of touch as usual not co operating with him to agree on a script to please the fans over international dollars. I wish this whole DC universe franchise would just go away and just focus on stand alone movies.

Guys, it is a good sign if the Batman gets postponed. If Reeves would have to rush it together with his planet of the Apes having certain scheduling conflicts because of editing, that is a good thing ::)

These are still legitimate designs, he still looks like a big dumb crocodile person in a good portion of his portrayals, and his depiction in Suicide Squad is fine. It doesn't come out of nowhere, it looks like Killer Croc. This is kind of like trying to nail down what Reptile is supposed to look like in Mortal Kombat (ironically, also a reptilian character). You can say he was a victim of unfocused designs throughout multiple console generations and changes of game engines and graphical styles, but that doesn't make it so you can ignore the versions of him you don't like, which are probably a majority of them.
Hell, Reptile was even a Harlequin baby that grew to adulthood and became a cannibal once. If they made an MK again movie and went with that weird approach, I couldn't really say "That's not Reptile though", now could I?
So I guess by that logic Joker wearing his flesh mask would do good for a movie since some are bound to like it.

Flesh mask? Regardless, it would be Joker. There are many of them. I might not like it, but I don't get to declare it 'not The Joker'.
This is Killer Croc. He's a big mutant crocoman, just like in many of the comics.
I was referencing this, Sabby.

While this is one of many Joker incarnations, none will ever top the classic long chinned clown prince of crime Joker. The Joker who will point a gun at you, and then trick you with a toy bang flag popping out. That is the definitive Joker that none of the live action films have perfectly captured yet, as they keep trying to reinvent him instead. If the DC Universe want to keep close to the comics they need that Joker. Not this Jared Leto version who comes off more as a Joker fanatic.
And as for Croc, I feel that the way they went downplayed his human aspects and just made him a big stupid reptilian thug. Their have been plenty of stories in his early debut where he was shown to be intelligent, and protected the homeless in the sewers.

This should be interesting
I'm not sure it's confirmed yet... and someone reminded me that Wheedon was also attached to Wonder Woman back in the day
Because people totally want to see a solo movie about a goddamn sidekick. ::)
A Bat Girl movie would just be goofy and shitty like the Joel Shoemaucher films. Bat Girl is too light hearted and comedic a character to work well with the Batman world. Best case scenario she is played off like Black Widow. I would like to see Whedon show some balls and have Bat Girl f**k Batman on the rooftop like Killing Joke.
I do agree with you guys about one thing. WB should focus now on the Batman movie since this is clearly the one fans want to see the most. Audience's loved Batfleck in BvS despite being divided about the actual film itself and people are equally hyped for JK Simmons as Commisioner Gordon. So with all this positive energy about the cast they should really bundle their time, energy and resources into The Batman.
But as for Batgirl just being a goofy sidekick, that's not true at all. Actually: Nightwing and Batgirl are the only Sidekick characters in the entire world that have had a long running success with their own comic book issues, no other sidekick has ever compared to that. So there is a fanbase there.
Batgirl is not necessarily a goofy or campy character like shown in the Schumacher films at all. It was already done right in the comics, it can work again. The only thing they really should stay away from is the Paul Dini induced love triangle between Nightwing, Batman and her. If anybody can pull it off, it's Whedon.
Bat Girl is and Nightwing are successful because they have always rode the coat tails of Batman. Night Wing was never all that interesting until he became Red Hood, and the only interesting Bat Girl was Cassandra Cain. The one raised from birth by Ras Al Ghul as a perfect weapon. But knowing Joss Whedon he'll go with Barbara Gordon and it'll be full of G rated feminist quirky shit.

So you want the angsty grown up Robin? Pretty sure we had that already.

Classy.
There's a pattern here. You think the only "non ridiculous" superhero movie is Hellboy. It's more than clear that you have some sort of limitation when to understanding the genre it comes.

To be fair, Joss Whedon is one of the most Overrated directors of all time.
His only good movie is Avengers 1.
Avengers 2 is a disgrace.
Well interesting you say that about Age of Ultron, dont forget alot of it was the Producers wanting certain things in the film, to the detriment of what Whedon was trying to do
Also Serenity is badass

Couldn't the same defense be applied to Ultimate Cut vs Theatrical Cut of the much lambasted BvS. WB wanting more bums on seats? I'm sure Snyder has said "No, no - that was the cut we wanted to put out" - but if he has, I wouldn't buy it (cos lets face it, the Ultimate Cut was awesome in comparison).
Serenity was really good, though if memory serves, wasn't this the first (and then Dredd) to suffer really badly from piracy in that all the Firefly geeks went and downloaded it and no one went to see it, hence scuppering their own franchise. I'm sure I read that somewhere cos I know I've quoted it *lol*

Yes, it has the distinction of being the first film on HD to be hacked - I remember at the time torrents really were a thing (I don't know if they are now) - but from the quick squiz I had, it seems that that was only one of the films many problems (One article said that "fan fervor will only get you so far.").
Apparently it had a good second life, but nothing near enough to warrant a second one.

I completely agree with you on that. Whedon is not really the amazing/revolutionary director Marvel made him out to be. However he does have a nitch for getting the Characters right on screen. I think Batgirl doesn't need to be an outstanding achievment of cinema art, just a fun flick while getting the character right. Whedon is the ideal candidate for that.

I agree. Joss Whedon is a really good writer. Nothing more.
He DOESN'T have a visual imagination or a visual style. He ISN'T Sir Ridley Scott, Steven Spielberg or Mel Gibson.
While I think Avengers 1 is his best work, it still has some glaring flaws to it. The thing is shot like a tv show, the unnecessary Agent Colsen character, Cap's dorky looking costume in this, and a bit too many quips. That being said, its my favorite Marvel film still. Although I feel the reason why Joss Whedon is jumping on board with Bat Girl is because he wants to appease the SJW crowd he offended with Avengers 2 and wants their browny points/money.

I hate that TV Visuals/Feeling. But a lot of directors have that problem. J.J. Abrams is another one. J.J is a really bad copy of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. His Star Wars entry is a really bad copy of the original Star Wars.

I see this acronym quite a lot recently.
I had to look it up. And will now appropriate it into my scorn thesaurus.
You know what the DC world needs. It needs a Power Girl TV show. With this as the theme tune:
That's Barb Wire isn't it. Who says there are no good female superhero movies? Tank Girl, Supergirl & Red Sonja are pretty good too.
It is. Barb Wire is awesome and I need to get it on blu-ray to be honest, I've not seen it in years. It's actually a remake of Casablanca (I shit you not).
Supergirl, Tank Girl and Red Sonja were all pretty good, Supergirl especially even if a bit ahead of its time in terms of its whimsy tone (I think people were expecting another Superman movie). Red Sonja I loved but it really suffers from the annoying kid syndrome (Kane Kosugi) - and Tank Girl was great too.
But really - I think a Power Girl show would be ace, especially if it embraced the idea of super-heroine as sex-symbol/media star.
Too many people would be offended over Power Girl being sexy and having big titties. Complaining about objectifying and all that no fun allowed stuff. She'd never be able to be in a movie unless she got her legs and cleavage hole filled and her bra size shrunken.
Meanwhile, in BvS...

I agree - which is why I think that if such a show (I don't think Power Girl would be a movie, no) were pitched it should be adult in nature and address exactly things like this. It'd have to "hyper" real but look at real things. If there were superheroes, can you imagine what the press would be like. Social media - it'd be cray-az. The media would go into overdrive ...
They could nod and wink at all the superhero tropes. Like, as you mention here the boob window. She could say something like "at least this way, no one's looking at my face. What, should I just put on a pair of glasses and hope." (to be fair, though... that moment in Superman the Movie when Reeves is about to tell Lois the truth and then backs out made a believer out of me).
On another note entirely - I enjoyed this. I'm always amazed at the effort and work that people put into them:
I think Joss will do a great job and I hope Anna Kendrick is cast as Batgirl

In weird news, they are CHANGING ALL THE SCRIPT of The Batman.
NEW VILLAINS. EVEN Joe Manganiello ISN'T sure. He said: "I don't know if I'm going to be in THE BATMAN. They are changing A LOT".
This design would be the closest to compromise on toning down Power Girl being sexy and her keeping a semi recognizable costume for a movie appearance. Although the entire reason for her boob hole came down to her being unable to wear a symbol as meaningful as Supes, so left it blank as a statement. I think a good actress for her would be Kristanna Loken.

Well, that's one reason. I think the "Not looking at my face" is another one (the "meaningful symbol" one was from the Batman and Superman run, I think) and there was something else I read which I can't remember.
Kristanna would be great, but I think they'd pass as she's over 35. Essentially, they need to find a new Pamela Anderson.
I hear you on the design - they wouldn't let her run around in her swimsuit (well, unless it was post 2100 and very ironic adult - which I'd want it to be if I'm honest). The below isn't as far fetched as all that, this guy did some amazing wonder woman stuff too (though, to be fair it wasn't much of a stretch to imagine her outfit as greek armour).

Yeah, they could easily pass the boob hole off as a joke for her to distract her enemies, but western audiences are so anal and uptight it would just cause controversy. Also considering the DC movies have been taking a stance to be much more serious and less jokey than their Marvel brothers, it wouldn't work in tone for their type of movie unfortunately.
I don't think it'd work as a movie at all - I really think PG's home is grown-up tv. HBO has made nudity and sex par for the course (even the BBC's "The Last Kingdom" has loads of it (or certainly did in the first season)).
I approve of anything Power Girl related, especially if they get Carrie Keagan back in the costume:

While I could see the possibility of more mature DC superhero shows to compete with Netflix, I couldn't see Warner Bros putting a member of the Superman family into a R rated spinoff. It would go against their feminist SJW agenda they been pushing with Super Girl on the CW. Harley Quinn or Cat Woman would be more likely to get their own R rated tv show since they are much more popular and allowed to be sexy.

A great point - and you're right I think, especially on Catwoman. All I'm saying is that a PG show - done right - could be great fun, acerbic and tackle subjects like celebrity, social media, body image, sexuality... all that stuff where supergirl fears to tread. I guess it'd be the anti-sjw show!

I would love a properly done Power Girl show done in the style of the books that Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner did. Although perhaps it would be better translated as a Netflix animated series than live action. I always found DC told their best stories when it came to their animation department over any movies they produced.

This is true. Timm and co have totally nailed time after time after time - to critical success. I'm always amazed that WB didn't bring him in to oversee the DCEU - if anyone "gets" these characters is Timm and his team.
But all this aside, I doubt if a PG show - animated or otherwise - would ever be made. But honestly, I think it'd be a big hit if they did do it.
Kryptonians and Engineers have the same suits. I loved Gigers influence in Man of Steel.

The Kryptonian Army/Weaponry/Ships etc. where beautiful! Very Gigeresque indeed.
Maybe Kryptonians are another Engineer seeded race.

Robert Zmeckis is a Legend!.
But I didn't like his last few movies.
He's kind of a hit and miss... the film he nails are generally amazing, I mean everybody loves Back to the Future! Some other of his movies are rather "meh" though. I do find however that "The Legend of Beowulf" is a criminally underrated film, it was so ahead of it's time.
Matt Reeves on the tone of his Batman movie:

Not sure about this, could take a lot of the mystery away from the character.
I'd like a future Batman movie to take some cues from the Animated Series. Maybe have him fight the Phantasm.
The Animated Series were basically an extension of the Tim Burton movies.
It seems they are planning to release four DC movies a year after the success of Wonder Woman. Well that seems to be the plan anyway. Saints preserve us

It's most likely where it goes, if they do plan exploring superhero relationships. I don't find it bad at all, it worked in the DCAU and the DCEU should cues from that.
A Wonder Woman/Superman romance is a good idea too, but I think it hasn't worked out too well in the comics. Right now, Superman is married to Lois Lane, whole Diana and Bruce are completely single. It has to be that way.

I generally prefer Batman with Catwoman, but I'm cool with this. Clark should stay with Lois.
Believe it or not, Batman just proposed to Catwoman in the comics.
With a bat-ring, I presume.
With a diamond ring, but the diamond was one that she stole and he retrieved from her during their first encounter. Then, as Bruce Wayne, he bought it so he could give it to her one day.
I'm not kidding.
That... sounds rather neckbeard-y of him.
It got him laid.
His superpower really is money, then. And to think, he could have laid her cheaper years earlier if Year One wasn't retconned. :laugh:
This is from the issue after he proposed...

But he's dead in the movies.
Let's be clear, the DCEU is going to be JL-centric (specially now that Batman's not the only player - WW is gaining good gravitas with her movie), just like the MCU is Avengers-centric.
Batman's career is supposed to be past its prime years in the movies. The biggest development Batman is going to have will be very likely in the JL movies... and he will probably find his romantic interest there, with Diana - They've already created a lot of chemistry/tension between both.
Oh, I agree. I'm just saying that it's currently out of the question in the comics. Also, while I dig the DCCU costumes, I think the comic versions are better than ever now. This page from the latest WW comic is the first time I've seen Superman's new duds done right.

Oh, I prefer the movie costumes, I don't like the New 52/Rebirth ones.
I loved Man of Steel's Superman costume. The one of BvS was a tad worse, changing the round belt to a squared one didn't make sense IMO :-\

Jason Momoa could be the biggest star of the DC Films.
Momoa has the Greatest DCEU Director: James Wan.
Wonder woman probably has all kinds of daddy issues so that's something she and Bruce will have in common.

The biggest development Batman is going to have will be very likely in the JL movies.
Nah the Reeves solo film will build upon him, skill-set wise speaking. I can expect the detective film bringing in emotion and mind-challenging problems that'll enhance Batfleck as a character. The JL films will show Batman more hopeful and what-not, and as a leader type characterization, but I see the solo film really emphasizing who Batman is as a hero with a lot of skills.
I meant character development, not skills.
Quote from: Magegg on Jul 04, 2017, 12:54:44 PM

I see what you mean. The JL will have Batfleck returning back to his hero roots due to being inspired by the death of Supes. But I feel whatever will happen in the solo film, Batfleck will have much more character development in it whether it be talking about his past and building upon it, detective skills may question Batfleck personally which will lead to better development. Whatever happens, I'm certain the solo film will have much more impact in the development characterisation area.
Im hoping (Justice League aside, as i can't see that being great, due to the issues in production) that DC tries to make their films feel a lot more like Wonder Woman in tone. As that felt like an actual comic book movie, it had humour in the right places, the action was good, (even if the third act went way too long), and a generally decent, interesting film that didnt take it self too seriously. I liked Man of Steel, and thought BvS was quite meh, but they seem to be trying way too hard to be super serious, which i just don't think a superhero film should be, at least not in the current universe they have.
The Dark Knight films are kinda an exception as they are very much self-contained, and i think the real world feel of them helps.

San Diego Comic-Con announced the following movies:
- Flashpoint
- Suicide Squad 2
- Justice League Dark
- The Batman
- Shazam
- Wonder Woman 2
- Green Lantern Corps
- Batgirl
No news on Gotham City Sirens, too bad, sounds like it would be a fun movie. Hope it doesn't get cancelled.
Looks like DC is obsessed with some stories.
First Dark Knight Returns, then Flashpoint and now this:

Okay first of all, apart from Batman's outfit, nothing in "The Dark Knight Returns" has ever been put to screen. These Directors surely draw huge inspirations from it, but the movies go into totally different areas. Not even Batman v Superman which tried so hard to look and feel like TDKR came close to that. So nah,
Second of all, everybody agrees that the flashpoint storyline in the series has been executed in such a laughable way when it came out, that there would only be one Episode directly concentrating on flashpoint. So again, we haven't seen flashpoint on screen properly.
As for watchmen... yeah there's no need, Snyder's movie is perfect and basically covers everything a watchmen screen-incarnation should.

The above link confirms Leto for SS2 and Gotham Sirens. Interestingly, they are also persuing a Joker origin story that doesn't feature Leto and will run parallel to the DCEU:

I said that. I was suggesting Superman for the RDJ role.
But DC is doing that with WW. Now, WW is RDJ of DCEU.

I want to see Gotham City Sirens. We've already had a Joker origins movie (Batman '89). We've already had a Joker and Harley Quinn movie (Suicide Squad). They can do that in Suicide Squad 2 by making Harley and Joker the villains. But give us the Sirens.
Agree. Catwoman, Harley and Ivy all together on the big screen. It would be a great storyline if they implemented part of Mad Love. Harley (and perhaps with the help of Catwoman and Ivy as well here) manage to capture Batman and dangle him above a piranha tank. Joker finds out and is furious, thinking he'll be the joke of the town. This could be a brief sequence near the end, like an extended cameo, with everything building up to it.
I don't think we've had the definitive cinema version of Catwoman or Poison Ivy, either.
Margot Robbie for me is the definitive Harley Quinn, so I'd like to see the others try and match her.
Michelle Pfeiffer.

I love DC movies, I really do. But my first response to this when it popped up in my feed today was "meh." Don't get me wrong... Slade is cool, but I'm not really that excited to see a movie about him.
I guess they're going to want to set him up as a baddie for Batman along the line (now that he isn't the baddie in "the Batman") and give him some real depth? It's interesting, but I'm not particularly excited... and I'm annoyed with myself because of that.
I think DC needs to concentrate on buttering their bread before branching out. Hell, Marvel thought that Guardians of the Galaxy was a big risk even after the success of the The Avengers.
Thor Ragnarok will probably do better commercially and critically than JL. How sad is that.

They really did it the wrong way around. I know it'd have kept DC behind but they should have done all the separate films, established the heroes and villains, then gone and done the ensemble pieces like JL and SS. It might have taken longer but they may have gotten stronger movies out of it. Less baggage.
I don't think the "baggage" was any problem. People are already familiar with Batman and Flash thanks to other media.
The problem of Batman v Superman wasn't the set up but the whole narrative and plot.
As for other characters like Wonder Woman and Aquaman... they don't need to have their movies first in order to appear as part of the team. Look at Black Panther and Spider-Man at Captain America: Civil War. They were introduced smoothly in a Captain America movie, and then they had their spinoffs. And everything worked perfectly.
I'm sure I've seen this on here, but it cropped up again today in my facebook feed and I thought that I'd repost it because (typically) a huge flame war erupted over it.
I'm of the view that the symbolism is very much on purpose, but there are opposing views:
"Snyder didn't do this. Y'all are stretching to find something that isn't there. You're talking about a guy whose idea of symbolism is framing a picture of Jesus behind Clark's head lmao"
"Reaching"
"Maybe they should have concentrated on the story of the movie instead of Snyder's shit visuals"
"Snyder aint the genius you try so hard to make him look like. Just stop. He is a shitty storyteller."
Like I say, for me, its on point:

If you're talking RT score, given all the recent revelations that's come about that..
Commercially, DCEU gets better averages than Marvel (MCU).
Not that it matters to me. DC has 3 of the greatest comic book characters of all time. Marvel (MCU) has Iron Man, Captain America and Thor. Nothing need more be said.

Thanks, I was looking for that interview.
Looking forward to all those HQ movies.
DCEU may have gotten off to a rocky start, but it's going to own the next 5 years.
"Female-Centric Harley Quinn Movie" is redundant as hell lol. And she's nothing without the Joker, so...
She's got her own comic series and all that.
Comic books are dying and the people in charge are making all the wrong decisions.
Though I'd argue Harley also works with Poison Ivy.
A confession from a WB worker.
(https://i.imgur.com/M5Uc6Xh.png)
MoS and BvS were good, SS was butchered by WB in the editing room and made a terrible movie, WW is ok but generic and forgetable, JL was butchered by WB in the editing room and made a terrible movie, and the others movies do not sound good, like the HQ movie
With them going in the Lighter direction. Definitely means we wont get a Team 7 movie :(
I suspect WB is going to prioritize Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn above all other DC characters in order to capitalize on the critical and political goodwill that Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot earned for them. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the next Justice League outing is closer to a "Wonder Woman & Her Amazing Superfriends" type of thing.
To be honest, as long as it saves the DCEU, I'm okay with that. Maybe a few years removed from Zack Snyder and a few more successes is just what the franchise needs to turn things around.

I don't know about a Harley Quinn movie being a hit at the box office but I agree that "Wonder Woman" was adored by critics and a lot of the audience.
But most important a new "Wonder Woman" film has the chance to make a profit at the box office and in the end that's all that counts in Hollywood in terms of keeping a franchise going.
;)
Wonder Woman is more than just a cash cow for WB. It's politically popular, socially impacting Oscar bait as well.
https://www.cbr.com/wonder-woman-oscar-campaign (https://www.cbr.com/wonder-woman-oscar-campaign/)
I think Harley Quinn has enough of a following that she could pull off a successful solo movie. Also, I remain firmly in the camp that Suicide Squad wasn't nearly as bad as the mob says it was.
http://www.dorkly.com/post/79999/6-reasons-why-its-ok-to-think-suicide-squad-was-ok (http://www.dorkly.com/post/79999/6-reasons-why-its-ok-to-think-suicide-squad-was-ok)
Haven't bothered to watch JL; that will be a download. Would happily pay to watch a Wonder Woman sequel. Can't believe they would bother with a Harley Quinn stand alone, as she's not a very interesting character. If they dump Snyder and recast, I might be tempted to watch stand alone Batman and Superman movies. The rest of the JL; nope, not interested.
I think it's pretty obvious that Snyder won't be directing any more DCEU movies and Patty Jenkins has already signed on to direct Wonder Woman 2. What WB should do is throw a pile of money at the Russo brothers after they finish up on Avengers 4.

You DO know that Weaver was nominated for Aliens, don't you?
WW might get nominated. Gal Gadot ain't gonna get nominated for her acting, that's for sure.

No.
Criticisms of the DCEU aside, it occurred to me that Superman should take the Kryptonian ship away and stow it in the north pole to get it out of Metropolis where it's been nothing but trouble. Maybe Cyborg could even make a cameo and help him restore AI Jor-El so he can finally have a proper Fortress of Solitude.
Give us some fleshing out of the backstory about the codex and the skull fragment that contained it being related to Brainiac somehow and you've got the makings of a decent MoS2. ;D

I'll agree this much. WW is the closest to the MCU that the DCEU has in terms of story formula.
And so it's no surprise that WW is the biggest financial / critical success of the DC franchise since the MCU way is dominant right now.
Personally, I found WW mediocre because of the repetition of standard tropes/cliches, especially with the Amazons and in the fight with Ares. But that's just me and I realize my view is in the minority.

The dark "MOS" (the story co-written by Nolan) is a main reason why the DCEU is in so much trouble.
Compare MOS with the films it rebooted, 1978 "Superman" and 1980 "Superman II".
The 1978/80 movies have much clearer, consistent stories and Superman's character has a closer resemblance to the comics/animated series.
Warners should be very careful in doing another Superman film.

How much $ "Justice League" will lose compared with "Valerian" and "Blade Runner: 2049" is yet to be determined.
One thing "JL" will do is have box office at 2 x its production budget (but marketing costs will result in a loss).
Will WB reset everything? It depends. WW will continue. How "Aquaman' does will determine the future of other spin off films.
But the main Justice League characters (Superman/Batman) will get a change due to "JL" under performing.
This will not be an easy thing for WB to do.
- Geoff Johns (President of DC Comics) was the co-manager of the DC Extended Universe/DC Films. He was a producer on "Justice League" and Johns definitely had an influence on "JL".
Johns is a major player in DC. He wrote the "Flashpoint" comics for gosh sakes.
If Johns with Snyder and Whedon can't make Superman/Batman financially successful, it's uncertain who can (since Nolan isn't going to direct for DC again).

It's official ben affleck is leaving. Jake Gyllenhaal or Jon Hamm could be the new Batman.
If he is leaving. They should involve a Lazarus Pit somehow
I've not seen anything official, but it looks like it's heading in that direction. It seems as though Ben Affleck will be Batman in Flashpoint which is handy for rewriting history ... or recasting history in this case :laugh:
As much as I think a bulked up Jon Hamm would make an even better Batman than Affleck, I don't see the logic of replacing an aging Affleck with an even older Hamm. That said, Tom Cruise is 55 and still doing action movies so I guess anything is possible.
Maybe Hamm decided that life after Mad Men isn't as glamorous as he thought it would be. I was under the impression that he had nothing but contempt for superhero roles.

If a "Flashpoint" film is done, then after that, WB/DC can make casting adjustments. After all it's an alternate reality idea created by time travel.
Viewers/readers of The Flash TV series/the animated JL series/the comics know what the "Flashpoint" basic storyline is about.
This would be a way for Afleck to leave the franchise.
However, the main issue for WB is what to do with DC.
There were two Green Lantern sequels planned a few years ago that were cancelled because of the performance of the "Green Lantern" film.
- Getting one of these very expensive movies made depends on them making money.
The Disney Marvel way is dominant. Other than Wonder Woman, can new DC films be financially successful?
We'll see what happens.

I'm worried about the DCEU's continuing future depending on the success or failure of Aquaman. It could be huge for all we know, but to me it's like pinning the future of the MCU on Ant-Man.

Apparently you do, given all your posts bashing DC movies. :)
Man of Steel and BvS UC were watchable, but now WB is editing the cinematography and visuals of both to match up with the "lighter tone" of JL and WW. The visual aesthetic they had was the one thing they had going for them, and now they're even managing to screw that up.
DCEU is a dumpster fire thanks to studio meddling.
I wouldn't use the words "dumpster fire" but I agree on the studio meddling.

Who cares
Apparently you do, given all your posts bashing DC movies. :)
I liked Man of Steel, the Dark Knight trilogy, the Burton Batman movies, Watchmen, and many of the animated movies. You don't know what you're talking about.
After Disney buys Fox, they will go after Warner Bros next, then use the DC characters as cannon fodder for Thanos........ ;)
Thanos aka Neckbeard?

I'm worried about the DCEU's continuing future depending on the success or failure of Aquaman. It could be huge for all we know, but to me it's like pinning the future of the MCU on Ant-Man.
Yeah, it seems strange that the Aquaman film would be so important for the DCEU.
But that's just the situation.
Every DC movie needs to at least get close to breaking even in theaters.
After "Justice League" taking a loss, "Aquaman" just happens to be next in line.
;)
Leave the universe stuff to Marvel. DC need their own usp

That's just the order I put them in, not the order they were released, but I assume you're joking? Hence the "XDD".
Sadly, Justice League made a lot less money than Batman v Superman, and it costed a whole lot more.
We have to acknowledge there's big problems in the DCEU.

I do believe DC films cost a lot more to make then Marvels first few films. Also the Marvel characters were not that popular to main stream fans at the time while DC charactes were very well know when the films came out such at Batman, Supermen and the Joker. Lastly all sequels to Marvels movies have increased the revenue with each new movie.

The facts speak for themselves, make all the excuses you like. It's fine whatever your opinion is. Just sick of people claiming DC is failing and claiming it as fact. It's not failing, it's doing very well. It has nearly always done well.
I'm not a big Marvel fan, but I have nothing against Marvel. I like the Spiderman and Iron Man films. They've been very successful with their cinematic universe. I would rather see the same thing happening with DC.

And this list hardly compares apples with apples.
Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman are household names with decades of other films and TV behind them.
Marvel hinged on Iron Man - who wasn't a household name - being successful. It was built up nearly from nothing. They couldn't lean on the big names like Spider-Man or the X-Men.
DC had 5 films between 2013 and 2017 from the above list at which point they were way behind and playing catch up - Marvel had 11 raking in nearly $8.3b.
Really no expectation at all with the Flashpoint movie. It was always too soon, it feels rushed, and JL only ruined the whole dccu until a restart or release of the original complete cuts of SS and JL.
If anything they have to make just a Flash movie and not that complex and alternate universe thing, though i do not think thyey will make an adaptation but just take the name and some little moments, that is how hollywood does it.
The Swamp Thing could be good if is not part of the dccu which i have no hope of getting good movies from anymore thanks to warner.

That's true but Iron Man has been around since the 60s, which is at least 20 years less than Bats/Supes/WW granted, but that's still plenty of time to build up a fanbase equal or exceeding the DC trinity.
There's a reason that the DC trinity have enduring popularity.
^ I never had a problem with the characters... BvS is still a convoluted choppy mess but it's not as bad as people go on. I really liked batman in it and it's 100x better then the justice league movie. It was super jarring that he went from such a raging bull in BvS to such a needy pandering yes man in JL. At least have him take steps towards recovery instead of flipping like a pancake.
Just watched Justice League and it was pretty great. Way better than MoS or BvS.
Only criticism was probably that Steppenwolf was video game level CG. Some of the close ups on his face were good, but overall he was very unconvincing. Cyborg on the other hand looked hokey as in the trailers, but looked fine in the film.
And good to see Holt McCallany carrying on the tradition of Alien 3 cast members getting beaten up by Batman on roof tops.
Murphy was the other, yes?
Indeed.
This makes me wish that they could get Fincher to direct the next Batman movie. Imagine his depiction of Gotham City.
I noticed Holt McCallany didn't get credited. And more strangely neither did Crudup.
A member of Project Mayhem has no name.
:laugh:
His Name Was Robert Paulson
Have a rewatch and observe how ridiculously OP Steppenwolf is, straight up curb stomping the amazons and... aqua... people?
Then later in the film he gets nurfed hardout and even his parademons are too much for him.
Couldn't that be due to getting his ass kicked by Superman? That might take a toll.
And Wonder Woman and Aquaman softened him up.
Quote from: SM on Apr 08, 2018, 10:57:04 AM
And Wonder Woman and Aquaman softened him up.
^ how were they even able to soften him up though is my point! He was ridiculously superior to everyone and then he's just meh.
Because aren't Wonder Woman and Aquaman like demigods, or immortal or something? So they're tough. Then Superman beat ten shades of shit out of him.
Aren't Aquaman and Wonder Woman supposed to be significantly more powerful than regular Atlanteans and Amazons?
Dunno. Them Amazons seem pretty tough.
True enough, but I don't recall seeing any of them lift and hurl an armored vehicle like WW did.
Amazons don't have any special powers, they are just normal women. Fit women, but otherwise normal.
This says they have superhuman strength, durability, stamina and agility. And also immortal. (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Amazons_of_Themyscira)
Aside from the immortality. I'm just going by the movie. They never demonstrated great strength/durability/agility/stamina that could not be achieved by a normal athlete and they died by bullets.
They're not invulnerable. If they were WW wouldn't need her shield and bracelets.
Wonder Woman's body is highly resistant against blunt force trauma, but she can still be cut, shot or burnt. That's why she can slug it out with the likes of Doomsday and Mongul, but she has to use her bracelets or shield against blades, bullets or fire.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FltJckwjMco (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FltJckwjMco)
Granted, DCAU WW can fly like Superman while DCEU WW can only jump (so far). Otherwise, their powers are virtually identical.
https://twitter.com/Borys_Kit/status/1004134951984365568
They need to release a better Suicide Squad sequel before they start announcing all of these spin-offs. I don't need a Joker movie, let alone two of them.
It amazes me how we have nothing on a Superman or Batman film. Our next three DC films are Shazam, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman 84. I'm excited for all three because of the directors and cast but I want this Matt Reeves Batman movie already. I loved Man of Steel and I am eagerly waiting for that sequel.
I just hope muh boy Aquaman gets a solid flick. He needs the respect. I've already given up all hope on this Flash. :-\
I truly hope WB and DC get it together. If Aquaman and Shazam are successful I think we'll get a lot more positive announcements soon. I feel like they're going to crush it this year at San Diego Comic Con. They are going to announce some big stuff.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! :'(
After so many duds in a row, not surprising.
Wonder Woman wasnt a dud, but then again it could have been a fluke for WB. Guess we'll find out for sure with Aquaman, WW84 and Shazam
WB should just focus on the solo films for now before thinking about this extended universe. It's a shame Cavill is leaving, I loved Man of Steel but I'll admit the movie didn't give him much to do as an actor. I also liked BvS but that movie did nothing for him. Justice League was just weird.
He was never truly given a chance to shine so I think he made the right choice to leave. WB obviously wasn't in a hurry to give us a Man of Steel 2 anyways. They can't even get a new Batman movie going.
- Wonder Woman 1984
- Aquaman
- Shazam
- Wonder Woman III
Those will be the last DCEU-connected WB films... but actually, they will probably wipe out any reference to DCEU in Shazam and it could end up being something totally separate.
I say keep WW in the fold but bump everything up to the Batman Beyond timeline.
Batman Beyond with Michael Keaton, do it.
Well that sucks...
Cavill had the potential but the movies and writing have all been shit. I can see why he wants out, can't fault him for it at all.
Or not - a statement from WB makes it no clearer, not does Cavill's manager.
In other words, they're still arguing about fees for a Shazam cameo.

A lot for a little. Can't say I blame him - making hay while the sun shines and all that. WB should just stump up. I really want them to succeed, but it seems like that they are deliberately making decisions to f**k up the already f**ked up DCEU.
The best way they could do the recast is in a Crisis or Flashpoint movie
Or just do over and forget the failures of the past.

Apparently his take was too similar to Birds of Prey and once they greenlit BoP he was mad and left the project. Shame, he's a great director. Gunn could do wonders for the property though.

Well with Affleck saying he's not in The Batman it makes sense. Especially as the story is now meant to be Early in his career. So we have a new actor, then in another film Affleck falls into a Lazarus pity and comes out as the newer actor

If they do go a bit older though I'd love if Oscar Isaac got the role.

I think it's probably for the best he wasn't though. I just don't see him as Bruce Wayne.
Yeah, he was cast before the movie fell apart for various reasons. Shame the documentary on that one seems to be stuck.
Dan Stevens would be good. He just needs to bulk up some, but Apostle showed me he can easily pull off the tortured intensity of Batman.

Yeah, he was cast before the movie fell apart for various reasons. Shame the documentary on that one seems to be stuck.
I did read that script.

He can do Green Lantern Corps, and include Doof Warrior as a Red Lantern.
Here are my thoughts on the latest news to drop regarding DC on film...

That was a cool scene, but I don't see those guys carrying a whole movie.
I doubt they'd be the protagonists. It's a strange idea though. Could be a cool horror flick though.

What exactly is that thing? I see teeth and claws, but can't make sense of it.
Aquaman is the best film to come out of DC in the past decade, and the Trench sequence is the highlight of that film. I wouldn't be shocked if, given WB's tendency to announce films and not move forward with them, nothing came of this, but just the fact that it is being considered leaves me so incredibly excited. I'd love to see this as a smaller budget, one-off horror film. I guess they could do something early days, with ancient Atlanteans mutating into the Trench, though I expect something more akin to a contemporary take on Creature From the Black Lagoon, with an armada of Gillmen. I'd be totally cool with it being a general cast of nobodies, but it would also be pretty fun to see Black Manta and a team of pirates taking on the Trench.

I say bring on The Trench spinoff, and bring on the Aquaman Cinematic Universe! 8)
At this rate, if we're going to be getting the damn Trench before we get the Flash, an Aquaman sequel can just abduct the King Shark character. :D

DC Films Plots Future With Superman, Green Lantern and R-Rated Movies (EXCLUSIVE)
By BRENT LANG and JUSTIN KROLL
DC Films appears to have hit its stride, rebounding from the commercial failure of "Justice League" and the critical drubbing of "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" with a few well-timed box office successes. "Aquaman" and "Joker" both generated over $1 billion at the global box office, becoming the first DC productions to reach those lofty figures since Christopher Nolan wrapped up his Batman trilogy with 2012's "The Dark Knight Rises." The studio also scored with last spring's "Shazam!," a cheeky spin on the spandex genre, and has high hopes for upcoming releases such as "Wonder Woman 1984" and "Birds of Prey."
"They're on the upswing," said Shawn Robbins, chief analyst at BoxOffice.com. "They had a rocky period, but they're starting to find their footing."
DC Films may have achieved more consistency when it comes to reviews and box office performance, but there are still hurdles to overcome. Namely, the company and its parent studio, Warner Bros., have yet to figure out what to do with iconic characters Superman and Batman. The studio is farther along when it comes to Bruce Wayne's alter ego, having re-cast the role most recently played by Ben Affleck with the younger and edgier Robert Pattinson. The former "Twilight" heartthrob has moved beyond his tween idol days, appearing in indies for the Safdie brothers, David Cronenberg, and Robert Eggers. He will don the cape and cowl in "The Batman," which will be directed by Matt Reeves ("Dawn of the Planet of the Apes") and will feature villains such as the Riddler (Paul Dano), Penguin (Colin Farrell), and Catwoman (Zoe Kravitz).
There had been chatter that the entire film would unfold in Arkham Asylum, the high-security prison known to comic book fans for housing super-criminals, but that is not the case, according to insiders. Only a handful of scenes will be set at Arkham. If the movie works, Warner Bros. and DC believe that any of these villains could headline their own spinoff movies. Key cast members in both "The Batman" and "Birds of Prey" have contract options to appear in sequels and standalone films.
The studio has less clarity on what to do with Superman, a character who has now been rebooted two different times in the last 13 years, once with Brandon Routh ("Superman Returns") and later with Henry Cavill ("Man of Steel") without landing on a winning strategy. Superman has also appeared frequently on television, in shows such as "Lois and Clark" and "Smallville," which has led to some fears at Warners that the market could be over-saturated with hot takes on all things Clark Kent.
To help find a way to make Superman relevant to modern audiences, studio brass has been polling lots of high-profile talent. There have been discussions with J.J. Abrams, whose company Bad Robot recently signed a massive first-look deal with the studio, and there was a meeting with Michael B. Jordan earlier this year with the "Creed" star pitching Warners on a vision for the character. However, Jordan isn't ready to commit to taking on the project since filming doesn't seem likely to happen for several years and he has a full dance card of projects. Insiders think that a new Superman film is unlikely to hit screens before 2023, given that there's no script and no director attached.
Internally, insiders are quick to credit Walter Hamada, the longtime New Line executive who was brought on board in 2018 as president of DC Films, with helping to plot a new, more sustainable course for the DC cinematic universe. He's credited with having a strong sense of story and with keeping a firm eye on the bottom line, reining in budgets so productions don't go off the rails. It also helps that he is closely allied with Warner Bros. film chief Toby Emmerich, with both men having worked together on past New Line hits such as "It" and "The Conjuring." Insiders believe that under the former regime of top DC film executives Jon Berg and Geoff Johns and DC Entertainment head Diane Nelson, there were too many decision makers involved, leading to the lack of a clear vision. They also maintain that Warner Bros. erred by initially rushing movies in the hopes of making release dates that had been snapped up before scripts were even fully in place. Emmerich has made righting the DC ship a key priority since taking control of the studio in 2017.
"Their initial mistake was that they tried to do too much, too fast," said Robbins. "They were trying to copy the Marvel model, but that took time and years of building up characters. You can't start with a big ensemble movie. You need to earn that."
Under Hamada and Emmerich, the studio has become more comfortable with backing comic book movies for adults. "Joker" became the first DC release to nab an R rating, but it won't be the last. "Birds of Prey" is also expected to get a similar rating and insiders predict that James Gunn's upcoming "Suicide Squad" sequel will also be R-rated. In the case of "Birds of Prey," the film won't be in the pitch-black, grim vein of "Joker." Insiders describe the film has a more humorous, spirited, girl gang adventure, albeit not one for younger children. A series of recent reshoots dramatically improved test screening results and the studio is confident "Birds of Prey" will be a hit when it opens in February.
Analysts believe the studio has hit upon a smart strategy — 20th Century Fox had backed R-rated comic book movies such as "Deadpool" and "Logan," but after being bought by Disney, which prefers its heroes to be cleaner and less prone to f-bombs, it's unclear if it will continue to back those type of projects.
"There's a huge appetite for R-rated superhero movies and if Marvel isn't going to step up, that presents an opening for DC to tap into that audience," said Jeff Bock, an analyst with Exhibitor Relations.
Beyond embracing the darker undercurrents of the DC canon, the company is also revisiting characters that they believe were ill-served by previous big screen adventures. "Green Lantern Corps" remains a priority despite the fact that 2011's "Green Lantern" was a high-profile commercial disaster. Johns is delivering a script at the end of the year. The project may be presented to Abrams and Bad Robot to see if the company would be interested in producing the picture. However, Greg Berlanti, another major talent on the Warner lot, is partnering with Johns on a "Green Lantern" television show. There's speculation that relationship could lead to his involvement in a feature film.
Warners and DC also still have faith in Ezra Miller's smart-ass interpretation of the Flash and are proceeding with development on a standalone film based on the character. DC has tapped "It" director Andy Muschietti to oversee the movie and has enlisted Christina Hodson ("Bumblebee") to write the screenplay — Hodson will finish that assignment that before moving on to write a screenplay for "Batgirl." Production on "The Flash" won't be able to start until Miller finishes up work on the next "Fantastic Beasts" film, which means that cameras are unlikely to roll until 2021.
DC is also looking to capitalize on the box office success of "Aquaman." It is currently looking for a director for "The Trench," a spinoff about a group of vicious undersea creatures who played a supporting role in "Aquaman." For the next film centered on Jason Momoa's king of Atlantis, DC has once again tapped James Wan and is hoping to commence shooting in early 2021.
DC's future won't unfold entirely on the big screen. HBO Max, WarnerMedia's upcoming streaming service, is currently looking for DC properties that could inspire films to premiere on its platform. It hopes to make DC adventures that have slightly lower budgets, requiring them to rely on up-and-coming actors and not established stars, with a goal of keeping production costs under $65 million.
The launch of HBO Max had inspired some hopes that Warner Bros. might allow Zack Snyder to release a director's cut of "Justice League," leading to a social media campaign dubbed #ReleaseTheSnyderCut. Snyder directed an earlier version of the ill-fated super-team movie and had planned to do some reshoots. However, after his daughter died, he was not able to complete production and was replaced by Joss Whedon, who injected a more light-hearted tone into the final film. Logistically, however, there's little appetite at the studio for spending the millions of dollars it would require to finish visual effects and editing work on Snyder's version, particularly as "Justice League" was a commercial disaster. There are currently no plans to release a Snyder version either in theaters or on HBO Max.
"That's a pipe dream," said one knowledgeable insider. "There's no way it's ever happening."

I thought he was really good as Adonis Creed, but I'm not sure I could see him as Superman.
Shame the writing was so bad because I thought Cavill had the perfect look for Supes.
Agreed on that, now apart from Wonder-Woman and Aquaman, any connection to Zack Snyder's vision is gone.
Jesse Eisenberg would love to play Lex Luthor forever:
Quote from: Jesse Eisenberg via The NationalI would love to play that role forever. I have no knowledge about what they're doing with it," he says.
"You can do anything [with the character] and it's right. You can be as funny, as dramatic, as crazed, as sensitive [as you want]. The character is open to any interpretation. It's not a prescribed, acceptable role that the audience feels they have to like or see themselves in, so that's the kind of freeing role that actors like. Will they let me do it again? I have no idea. But that's the kind of thing I love."

What about Shazam? It's full of references to Affleck's Batman and Cavill's Superman. Hell, Superman even makes a cameo in it from the neck down.
Then there's Suicide Squad 2 and Black Adam. I believe Flashpoint is also moving forward once again.
God I don't want the Flash movie to be Flashpoint.

Henry Cavill in Talks to Return as Superman for Warner Bros
Cavill last appeared as the Man of Steel in 2017's "Justice League"
Umberto Gonzalez and Ross A. Lincoln | May 27, 2020 @ 5:47 PM
Last Updated: May 27, 2020 @ 5:48 PM
Two years after departing the role, Henry Cavill is in talks to once again portray Clark Kent/Superman in films based on DC Comics, insiders with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap.
The extent of Cavill's return to the role — whether just for additional work to be done for the upcoming "Snyder Cut" of "Justice League" or for appearances in future films — has not been disclosed.
The British actor first appeared as the superhero in 2013's "Man of Steel," followed in 2016 by "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and in 2017 by "Justice League." He was set for further appearances in DC Comics movies, including a planned cameo in "Shazam!" but was instead abruptly let go from the job in late Summer, 2018.
At the time, insiders said Warner Bros. was rethinking its strategy for DC Comics movies, moving away from the shared universe approach and toward standalone films. And indeed, just a few months after Cavill departed, so did Batman actor Ben Affleck, and the planned standalone "The Batman" was retooled to focus on a younger version of the character played by Robert Pattison.
However, the larger context was that up to that point, with the exception of "Wonder Woman," DC's attempt to create a competitor for the Marvel Cinematic Universe was a critical dud. And while the movies weren't flops, each one, again with the exception of "Wonder Woman," earned less than the previous installment. But "Justice League" suffered from particularly public problems. In May, 2017, several months into post production — and just six months away from release — director Zack Snyder stepped away from the film after his daughter died, and WB hired "The Avengers" director Joss Whedon to 'finish' it.
Whedon oversaw not just post production work however, but also weeks of unscheduled reshoots involving the entire main cast, and a recut that appears to have dramatically changed the original story. The end result was a confusing and often ridiculed movie featuring an unintentionally hilarious looking Superman, thanks to the fact that Cavill had grown a mustache for another film and the CG used to edit the mustache out of "Justice League" only kind of worked.
Things change, however. At the end of 2018, "Aquaman" became a billion dollar juggernaut, while 2019's "Shazam!" and 2020's "Birds of Prey" were both critically acclaimed cult hits. But more relevantly, DC movie fans coalesced around the social media movement "Release the Snyder Cut," which sought to pressure WB into releasing a version of "Justice League" much closer to whatever it is that Snyder had in mind.
Those efforts paid off last week when WB announced that something they're at least calling "The Snyder Cut" will premiere in 2021 on the company's upcoming streaming service, HBO Max. No word how Cavill will be involved but hopefully this time they lock down being clean shaven into his contract.
Cavill currently stars in Netflix's "The Witcher" and plays the role of Geralt of Rivia.
Cavill is repped by WME, manager Dany Garcia of the Garcia Companies and Gang, Tyre, Ramer and Brown.

Not having seen it yet, I have to admit that I always thought it stupid that Batman was expected never to kill in the heat of battle. It's the height of unrealistic silliness to believe that pummeling the living hell out of another man with armored fists and boots would never result in mortal injuries.
If a thug dies because he was too stupid to give up and actually tried to take on the goddamned Batman in a fight or later on in a hospital bed because of a wound he sustained in that fight, boo-f**king-hoo.
What I don't approve of is Batman executing bad guys after they've been defeated or captured. To me, that's the fine line that separates him from the Punisher.

From what I've read, they're just going to release it. WB have spent too much on The Flash to not release it.

Good, I hope they're rethinking the whole Michael Keaton thing. It'd be an interesting one-shot in the Flash movie, but I seriously don't see the logic in replacing Batfleck with an even older version of Batman.
I fail to see how flushing $90 million down the toilet is a cost cutting measure.
Doesnt help that this required people having seen The Flash for people to get why Keaton was there
Just do Batman Beyond with Michael Keaton already, in the Returns continuity, I do not give a shit about this multiverse crap.
Has a project of this budget ever been canned before? They've shot the movie, it's in post, they have spent $90 million on it already.
Maybe it was just terrible and WB decided they can't afford another bomb in the DCEU.
From the looks of it, they did it for a tax credit.

Interesting, I read a couple more articles and they've pulled 6 movies from HBO Max as well that they can use to write off tax against other expenses. Seemingly they are doing this as a cost saving measure that needs to amount to $3 billion!
im so happy this would be bad anyway so thank god
hopefully flash is next
lets start over
do this right WB!!
I'd like DC to just create a single cinematic universe which is also really good.
I'm glad Batgirl was cancelled since I wasn't even interested in that. Also, having three Batmen (Affleck, Keaton and Pattinson; four if you count the version of Titans) was kind of stupid.
Just give me back Batfleck, please, and try to fix the DCEU. There was just a lot of crap around in TV and movies (like, Pennyworth, the Flash shows, Titans, etc) to keep me as invested into DC as I am with Marvel.

According to this very recent article below, it looks like Whedon's dismal theatrical cut of 'Justice League' is being championed over Snyder's more fleshed-out version....so I won't get too excited about what their so-called '10-year plan' may bring -
https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/batgirl-shelved-warner-bros-1392407/
But no matter what 'official canon' franchise-owners continue to spew out, I'll always find it much more satisfying to ignore certain storylines/instalments that annoy the hell out of me, and only include my own favourites for a re-watch. And that goes for the Marvel movies too.
Interesting, since the Shazam 2 trailer used footage from the Snyder cut.

Tax write off.
Seriously, how in the world can they market it now? Their star is a felon? And it's a superhero flick that's ostensibly for kids. This is a disaster for WB.
They appeal to anti cancel culture conservatives to watch it

That animation is fantastic. Reminds me of the DC Original Animated movies, but the Snyder style also looks really nice in animation.

Please, not every character needs your toilet brand of humor, Gunn.
I'll take more Suicide Squad over whatever WW84 was supposed to be.
Patty Jenkins sounds like a nightmare. No wonder she lost Rogue Squadron and Cleopatra too.
Yes, "Patty Jenkins" sounds genuinely terrifying. Just like "Willem Dafoe" or "Robin Williams"
Saw Black Adam yesterday, even the Rock can't save the DCU...
Shrugs, I haven't been all that invested in the DC universe ever since the Dark Knight Trilogy ended, to be honest. Its been a hit-and-miss ever since. Snyder's work...some are ok, some are not. Frankly, I had issues with his depiction of Superman, not that Henry Cavill is a bad actor, but more like the general direction. The first Wonder Woman and Aquaman was decent, but that's about it.
So all I say about James Gunn shaking up the DC universe...is a bug meh.
Is Hawkman really as strong as the movie depicted? His weapon was cool, but for some reason I didn't think he could give Black Adam any trouble.

He didn't.
I can see WW3 still happening. Just not Patty Jenkins version
After the latest news, I can't see anything happening in continuity with the previous movies.
Feels like Gunn's taken Zaslav's slash and burn tactics and just gone with it. I see a complete reboot happening, probably after Flash, which would explain the Jason Momoa as Lobo rumours.
If Gunn wants a complete reboot, I can be that guy and say his Suicide Squad movie doesn't matter anymore. This sucks.

All in on Swamp Thing and Creature Commandos.
Really hopeful for a new good Superman movie
Definitely looking forward to a Swamp Thing horror movie!
I find it really hard to get excited for any of these except maybe The Batman: Part II. I'm a massive Superman fan. But to me, this whole thing stinks of ego and Gunn scrapping anything that came before in a very half assed way. He says he didn't "fire" Cavill, but it's essentially the same thing. And where does the DC universe stand, since most of the other cast remains? Not to mention keeping f**king Ezra Miller around?
As I expected, he's branching off into all the kooky characters in DC when he should be focusing on the trinity first and foremost.
If he's giving us a younger Batman with a Damian Wayne Robin, does that mean the previous Robins won't exist in the DCU?
I will say that I really hope that he goes for a more majestic and hopeful Superman rather than a goofy quippy one. Something along the same tone as the Richard Donner/Christopher Reeve films (but less campy).
As much as I love his The Suicide Squad, I don't necessarily want to see something like that for Superman.
That was such a weird thing to watch. I mean, Swamp Thing, yeah! But also Authority? Creature Commandos?
Green Lantern is a TV series set on earth, not in space?
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is a slightly awkward title, and it seems like we'll be getting a new actor, instead of the currently cast one.
Batman and Robin would be fine, but going straight to Damian Wayne is a weird choice. I also don't like Damian in general.
The Flash is closing the current DCEU, fine, makes sense. But Aquaman 2 and Blue Beetle are coming out after. So are they DCEU or DCU. If the former, why aren't they before Flash?
It's a lot of potential, and a fair amount of deep cuts, but it also seems just way too vague about... Well, everything, really!.
https://twitter.com/THR/status/1620543234194960384
By terrestrial, do they mean "set on Earth", or merely "set on a planet and not in space"? And I certainly hope they mean True Detective S1.
Mark my words, superman will be black and bruce or robin will be gay. I don't like that they want young actors for everyone, I prefer an older Batman, not an 80 year old but someone in there 40s or 50s unless its another origin movie. ::)
https://twitter.com/mang0ld/status/1620686622152077313
Mangold could be an interesting/solid choice for this one. Guillermo del Toro would be my number one pick for Swampy, though. Especially after his previous attachment to a Justice League Dark film years ago, and the material would just fit him like a glove if he's left to adapt it the way he sees fit.
Curious to see what Mangold does, though, if it is indeed him. Swamp Thing is by far the project on the slate that has me the most interested.
EDIT: James Mangold in Talks to Tackle 'Swamp Thing' Movie for James Gunn, Peter Safran's DC Studios
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/swamp-thing-james-mangold-in-talks-dc-movie-1235315500/
I'm interested to see how it compares to the original Swamp Thing, as directed by horror master Wes Craven, and also to the recent TV series which was absolutely amazing and cut way too short.
Even if it's not in continuity with the show, I hope they bring back Derek Mears.
The announcement pitched it as an origin story, so it definitely won't be in continuity with the show. But put in the camp of fans of the show that thought it was canceled way too soon as well.
These announcements definitely didn't do anything to make me interested.

There's a theory that they're introducing the Authority as well as a new Superman so that they can then do a version of
What's So Funny About Truth, Justice and The American Way? (which has also been adapted as
Superman vs The Elite.), but with The Authority standing in for The Elite.

Wouldn't say it's a theory, Gunn said the
Superman: Legacy film will lead into
The Authority; so, pretty probable it will be their version of
Superman Vs The Elite (only, you know, The Authority is a group that's infinitely cooler than The Elite).
Which sounds kind of redundant because we already had that type of conflict of sorts, in last year's
Black Adam.

Technically the year one suit would be the '89 suit because in Batman '89 they mention he's been around Gotham for a few months and the cops have no idea who or what he is. Oh well haha.
I hope Keaton at least gets one of those Elseworlds movies they're talking about to make up for his Batman comeback getting cut short.
Batman
Batman Returns
Batman Beyond
Do it you cowards
Not even necessarily Beyond, just an older Batman movie with him in it would be cool.
Also, I read rumors stating that Forever was canon in at least one cut of The Flash. :laugh:
God, I would love a Batman Beyond film!
Especially with Keaton as Bruce Wayne
(different universe/company obviously, but on that same note I would love a Spider-Man 2099 film)
As long as Wayne takes a more active role in costume and isn't just the guy in the chair, I'd be for it.

I think a good choice would be Roger Craig Smith. He was fantastic as a younger Conroy Batman in Arkham Origins, and I think he'd be a good choice for this, too.
I thought he was mid as f**k honestly as was that videogame, not excited by that suggestion myself.
Would rather have Rino Romano if we are picking out actors who previously played the role.
Text to speech would be my guess
I at least liked Origins more than I did Arkham Knight.
Just in case, but probably not...but still! ;D

Yeah, I saw that. From my interpretation of the interview, it seems like Affleck was doing OK as Batman with Snyder, and then the tragedy of Snyder's daughter hit everyone in the cast and caused upheaval, and the change to Whedon is where it went downhill for him.
Either Affleck sees too much of the style that turned him off in Gunn's DC, or just the concept of working in that universe again is reminding him of a bad time in his life.
Interesting thing is that Gunn stated previously that he'd been talking to Affleck and that he wanted to direct a movie. So either Gunn was just straight up lying, or something has changed which turned Affleck off to the idea. 'Absolutely not' is a fairly strong statement.

Peacemaker). Hope the show looks like the keyframe that's being used 'cause I'm loving the art style being presented, too.

Nicholas Hoult is a solid choice 8)
Hoult for Luthor I can get behind. Hoult for Superman? No way!
He's got the Christopher Reeve energy physically. I'll wait and see.

Is that actually how that scene is edited or do they condense things for these clips?
The Flash looks like a huge nothing burger movie that is trying to live off the hype from old movies like NWH did but without a single bit of soul

Trailer looks good. Wish they used a different animation style, though. I've never liked the Archer style animation.

I quite enjoyed the Flash. Keaton's Batman was undoubtedly the highlight, and I liked Sasha Calle as Supergirl, though she didn't actually have a lot to do.
CGI was ropey a lot, though the director has said that it was supposed to have that look. Maybe, but uncanny valley is a weird intention to have.
Some bits were underwhelming, and there were more dumb bits than I was anticipating, but overall I think it was a good film.
7/10
Did it make you forget Miller's many heinous crimes?
Ezra Miller's very problematic personal life aside, I liked The Flash a lot too. I thought he did a good job playing two distinct roles, the action was cool, the use of speed was neat, it had a lot of humorous bits, overall I was very entertained.
Yes but one of the crew said the movie would be so good you'd forget that Ezra Miller committed heinous crimes.
Have they been wiped from your memory by how good the film is? Or are you still aware of the fact he's a piece of shit?
Like the bar was set. If the movie's not so good I forget his laundry list of criminal activities I don't see the point in watching it.
LOL, Hollywood people say some weird shit
Quote from: SiL on Jun 18, 2023, 03:57:15 AMDid it make you forget Miller's many heinous crimes?
I was going to say no, but for the duration of the movie, I don't think I was thinking about it so... Maybe? Temporarily? Not the answer I expected to give.
I was also going to say that I'm glad this is in the DCEU and that Flash will be recast going forward, but given Andy Muschietti's comments recently about a sequel, I'm not even sure I can say that either.
Keaton and Calle I'd like to see return, but I do not think Miller should. Mainly I wanted to see it for Batkeaton and he did not disappoint.

Yeah, that's fair. I think it would have been more enjoyable to watch without Miller and their issues and crimes tainting everything.

The fact that James Gunn chose to go with the worst of those 3 endings doesn't fill me with hope for his take on the DCU.
https://twitter.com/GeekVibesNation/status/1671621783902994442
That's probably the best option for DC movies right now. Make them standalone, but not without the option to connect to others. A Swamp Thing horror movie which doesn't try to be anything else other than a horror movie sounds awesome.
A new episode is now live. This time we take a look at SUPERMAN III, starring Richard Pryor (and some upcoming guy called Christopher Reeve in a supporting role).
The clip is perhaps the best we've used. It's not often you get to use that kind of statement to describe Superman of all people!

QuoteProduction designer Bill Brzeski compares Wan's sequel to the vintage films worked on by special effects legend Ray Harryhausen, like 1958's The Voyage of Sinbad and 1963's Jason and the Argonauts, in terms of the movie's commitment to fantastical adventure. "James has turned this into his version of a Harryhausen movie," Brzeski says. "There are problems and issues a modern audience could relate to, but it's got a great quest and monsters."

Man I want this to be good.

Oh shit, are we getting Fisher King Black Manta? :o
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV3bqvOHRQoBlack Manta has a zombie army. Yes, please.
I love that these movies have totally embraced being big, bombastic, pulp adventures (a la the Harryhausen influence that was cited in that recent interview), filled to the brim with more creatures than they know what to do with and tech that looks straight out of a space opera. I'll definitely be checking this one out.

At this point, you can't blame WB for pulling the plug on the Snyderverse. As much as a I liked it overall, the $$$$ just wasn't there in the end. I still thinking ditching Cavill is a mistake. He isn't the problem, but they likely don't want people to associate his face as continuing a universe that can't sustain money.
