DC Movies - To Infinity and Beyond

I don't understand why people think Keaton is replacing Affleck. That's like saying MCU is replacing Tom Holland with Andrew Garfield since he is appearing in Spider man 3.

Now are we sure it isn't THOMAS Wayne, played by Keaton, but in 89 attire/motif? I mean, it kinda supposed to be Flashpoint, right? I mean, I am fine with it being the DC Film Universe version of Crisis (especially if we have a mirror scene with Gustin)


Also random question... but could the Iris scene from Snyder League be used in Flashpoint? For JL, it was a completely unneeded scene, but could fit just great here.

If there was even a bit of evidence that 69-year old Keaton was replacing Affleck, advocates of that fantasy would have posted it. Further, unlike Keaton, Affleck is believable as Batman/Wayne, and balances the two sides of his mind in an almost perfect manner. That was not Keaton in 1989 or today. Keaton is tolerable if he's used in a limited way in his alternate universe.

Because 'People are dumb animals'.

The chances of Snyder's JL cut being specifically referenced by Warner Bros. going forward are sadly very small.

His influence on the DCEU Shared Universe that he started with Man of Steel will still continue, though, for as long as that specific continuity universe itself continues... and said continuity is going to continue on for a while regardless of what some posters on these forums believe.
 
FYI, in looking to show my hubby the Y The Last Man trailer, we managed to see an actual trailer for The Batman -

Very interesting.
 
That trailer's been out for quite a while now.

I assumed that this film would be used to set up R-Bats as Batfleck’s replacement but apparently The Batman is standalone and not going to overlap with the other Dc films

I do not see that happening.

Yeah, I know neither of my scenarios are likely to happen, but I still see them as being a lot more likely than Keaton replacing Affleck. If they are going to replace the 48 year old Affleck, I just can't see them doing it with the 69 year old Keaton. If they do replace him, I would see it being with someone close to Affleck's age or younger. Longevity seems to be a big goal with these chracters, and they're going to have lot better chace of getting more movies out of some 50 or younger than they are someone pushing 70.

I don’t think we can rule anything out so far as WB/DC is concerned. It really brings to mind William Goldman’s quote “in Hollywood, nobody knows anything.” If you’d told me in 2019 that the Snyder cut would get made, that not only would Affleck return as Batman but so would Keaton in the same damn film, that the TV DC would feature the filmic Flash and both Brandon Routh and Tom Welling as Superman/Clark Kent, that Jared Leto would be back as The Joker, etc, I would’ve asked what you were smoking. So at this stage, anything is possible!

Well, one should not go that far about those invested in entertainment, but the tendency for some to con themselves is rather high.

Its desperation; some wish the horrid Berlanti/CW shows and production level would be the model used for all DC movies, while others are still wanting a completely different product to play like that from another manufaturer (when there would be no point in making a copy+paste film series). Whether they like it or not, characters, events and other elements created during Snyder's DCEU involvement runs through at least eight films in one way or another. For anyone to deny it is an example of major self-deception.
 
Not a character I'm interested in seeing lead a film. Between Smolett, Majors and Wunmi Mosaku a good chunk of Lovecraft Country making it's way to comics movies.
 
I very much enjoyed her in Birds of Prey so i'm happy to hear this news. Hopefully Mary Elizabeth Winstead's Huntress returns too (if not in this then in something else.)

I haven't been a Black Canary fan in the past, but I recently read a collection of all of Robert Kanigher's (mostly) Golden Age Black Canary stories, and I was surprised at what an impressive, capable character she was, a total badass who was far better in a fight than male lead Larry Lance, sexy in appearance but not reduced to a romantic object (and with a costume that was surprisingly practical for a physically active heroine, aside from the fishnets). It was totally not what I expected of a Golden Age heroine, least of all from Kanigher, whose Silver Age work with Wonder Woman and Lois Lane was defined by its sexism and reduction of DC's two most iconic heroines to constantly obsessing over romance and marriage. It makes me think that maybe Kanigher was writing to the expectations of the respective eras, with the '40s being more accepting of dynamic heroines than the reactionary '50s and early '60s.

Okay, Kanigher's Black Canary did have an unfortunate tendency to be pistol-whipped on the back of the head in literally almost every story, but that just underlined how effective she was in a fight otherwise, because it was the only way the villains had any chance of tying her up alongside Larry in the monthly deathtrap that she then rescued them both from single-handedly. And there was one story where Kanigher got a bit meta with it and had BC pretend to be driven mad by one too many clonks on the head in order to get the villains off their guard.

So I guess I'm more invested in the Black Canary character than I used to be, and I liked Smollett in the movie.

Wouldn't mind that. She was kind of underutilized in BoP.
