Warner bros announce superhero films through 2020

His body of work is a little thin. I just hope this isn't a case of giving an up and coming auteur too large a film too soon. See Josh Trank and Chronicle to FFour reboot.
The article lists four other movies he has made besides Dope, so he could not be called inexperienced.

I never said "inexperienced", I said "it's thin" and I'm not overly impressed with what I see. That does not mean I'm a downer, just saying, we've seen this before and for every James Gunn we can get a Josh Trank. Difference is Gunn had Feige to work with and Warners isn't impressing me in that same mentor role to date.

Not impressed with what you see? Well, you haven't seen any of Famuyiwa's movies, so I'm not sure that's relevant. Trank was a kid who had directed one previous movie. Famuyiwa has directed a bunch and has been working since the 1990s. The difference is obvious.
 
Director of Flash tweeted this out.

Looks to be:

Flash Rebirth
Flash Brightest Day: The Dastardly Death of the Rogues
Flash Brightest Day: Road To Flashpoint
Flashpoint

The above 4 are from Flash Vol 3. All by Johns

"The Flash By Geoff Johns Book One and Two". These are from Flash vol 2, with Wally.

Also the first 6 volumes from New 52 Flash.


I've read everything except the New 52 Flash. I'm getting around to it though.

He's directed 6 things, one of which was a movie short in '96, his first thing listed. The other a TV movie. He's done all of 4 feature length films, 3 of which are RomComs....your "obvious difference" isn't that apparent nor is his resume that deep for someone working "since the 90's". It'd be a lot more obvious if he'd directed something every year or two for 20yrs straight but he hasn't.

I stand by my assertion that when placed into context his resume is thin. But, hey you like him, that's great. I'm not saying he'll be bad, I'm saying I'm not as impressed with 4 feature length films under your belt in 20yrs as you are.
 
Does Snyder mandate everyone who stars in his films to get ripped? I mean Jesus! J.K. Simmons is jacked!
 
Yeah. You have to admire his dedication for maybe a rooftop scene? and maybe carrying a small firearm?

I say 5 minutes tops is his role

I'm just pointing out the obvious, which you seem determined to ignore. Trank had directed one movie (a found-footage one at that). Famuyiwa has directed five full-length movies. That's a big difference.
 
That JK Simmons picture does make me wonder what Gordon is going to be doing in the movie if he has to get that buff. No matter what, it's pretty impressive.
