Warner bros announce superhero films through 2020

Someone greenlight this please:

:D
 
Todd Phillips' Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix is set to start shooting in September in New York.

With a budget reportedly at $55 million and no 'cinematic universe' considerations, it goes against the grain of the current comic book movie trends.

There's no release date yet, but it might be out as early as next year since it probably won't be as heavy on the special effects, it won't have to spend a lot of time in post.

Also, Djimon Hounsou has been cast to replace Ron Cephas Jones in the role of the old wizard Shazam, which means Hounsou will appear in both Captain Marvel movies next year.

Hmm.. ROn Cephas Jones looks more like a Wizard, but i would definitely be interested in Hounsou's take. Hounsou still seems young and fit to me (perfect for his action roles), but i would love to see how he plays this role.

Should be a few jokes out there soon "See me with Captain Marvel..."
 
So, it looks like Shazam and freddy sharing some stolen cola. Well, maybe it wasn't stolen, just bought with money that Sqazam shook down a crime victim to get, because (spoiler alert) that's what geoff Johns "Shazam" did: The first (or one of the first) people he saved, he made them pay him for saving them. Because fuck the entire concept of Captain Marvel, basically. I wonder how they're going to make a "hero" shaking down a victim of a crime for money into a shitty comedy scene.

It will probably be set somewhere between Billy calling people PG-13 friendly curse words/slurs while playing on online game (because that is the most generic asshole teen thing they could have him do) and him using his powers to sexually harass girls (because you know they're going to have him do it, its the go to shithead teen act).

This is going to be the biggest trainwreck in superhero film history. I'm glad I got to the acceptance stage with the entire character of "Shazam" years ago, so I can just laugh and make fun of this shit instead of being really pissed. I mean, seeing it on screen might make me mad, but right now I'm almost looking forward to watching the worst DC movie ever produced, since in the end it has about as much to do with my favorite hero (the original Captain Marvel) as, say, Jurassic World does.
 
Bigger than Catwoman, Fant4stic, Supergirl 1984, Elektra?

Save the hyperbole.

I have seen all of those movies, and there is no way Shazam could reach that level of "quality". There is no hyperboyle from me in this case, something like Catwoman is going to look like Iron Man compared to Shazam. It definitely had more effort put into it, and a more competent director/writng team. Plus, Catwoman's lead actor isn't a giant asshole like Chuck is, she even admitted that her film was shit which I doubt he will even long after he's done with everything. chuck is too busy being a whiny prick. Since Catwoman is the worst of those listed films, that just makes Shazam that much worse.

I wish people would stop trying to argue against @kirk55555 's OTT rants every time there's news on the Shazam! movie, and start treating it as the tradition that it has become.

Just because some people hate when people don't worship DC, that doesn't mean i'll stop. The DC films are shit outside of WW nad kind of JL (which isn't great but its ok), this one just happens to be the absolute worst, and I'm not suppressing my opinion on it anytime soon.
 
Ironically, this also happens in the Captain Marvel thread.

I just happen to be a fan of both the original Captain Marvel and the current one from the company that stole the name. I'd probably be a lot happier if I didn't like either of them, instead of having to deal with them both getting fucked over with terrible movies coming out the same year :lol: 2019 is going to be a rough year for superhero films, outside of Avengers and Wonder Woman 2.

So what would a good Shazam movie look / feel like?

What are a couple of movies or TV shows where they "got" the easence of the character even if some relatively minor details are radically different?

P.s. can you also post it in a separate thread called " the ideal Shazam movie for kirk55555 " so it can be easy to find so we don't get redundant in our posts.
