Sorry about bringing all this back up, I didn't realize my comment was going to set all this off again.
To be fair, I have seen a quite a few say no, so it's not like it's totally unheard of.
DC Movies - To Infinity and Beyond
- Thread starter dahj
- Start date
Jason Momoa posted a video on his social media about something very very big happening that he can't talk about but can scream with excitement about. Lots of scoopers are now saying JL2 is in the works with Andy Muschetti (from the Flash movie) Directing and will be something of a soft reboot.
Oh god, the Snyder stans whining when they realize that any JL2 will definitely not count the Snyder Cut as canon (it probably won't count the Theatrical version either, but they don't care about that) is going to be painful, but also satisfying.
Thats assuming any potential DC movies even get filmed, and even if they're filmed there is no guarantee that they'd actually get released. Still I hope it happens, since James Gunn is co-running DC things now I'd love to see a new JL movie. Hopefully they recast some of the roles though, even if he's "apologized" Ezra Miller is still an asshole and I'm honestly not convinced that they won't go back to doing stuff like terrorizing Hawaii once The Flash film comes out and WB loosens the leash. I'd also prefer a new Batman, not just to get one that isn't a crazy murderer but also because Affleck seemed to be miserable playing the role. They'd have to recast (or, hopefully, just ignore) Cyborg too, obviously. I'd probably drop Cyborg for a new Martian Manhunter, the character fits the JL better anyway.
That seems like a stretch.
Google still has him listed as being in something called "Justice League Part Two".
From the non-YT chatter, some care claiming heard a JL2 is in the works, but one script idea has the film address the invasion from the 1st film (in other words, there's still lingering effects from the attack). Its hard to say where the film would go, since it would--by necessity--need to continue the continuity (recognizing timelines) of The Flash, Aquaman 2 and Black Adam.
Yeah, because the rumors I read also were that the end credits of Aquaman and Flash seem to be setting up a Crisis event, so i'm not sure how a JL2 could come before that since I imagine they'd want to do Crisis first.
Personally, I get sick and tired of people whining about Zack Snyder fans, which they have been doing since 2016 when they realized that not everyone hated "Batman v. Superman". And yeah, WB should regard the 2021 version of "Justice League" as canon, considering that it was a hit and not the shitty failure that the 2017 version was.
..and then, there's Blue Beetle--also in that same continuity.
ScreenCrush has new analysis of how the existing DCEU continuity continues in many ways through recent film releases and those to come:
It's become almost impossible to talk about the current state of DC Comics material as a filmic IP because you've either got people whining about it, insisting that parts of it are either going to be discarded or already have been discarded, or hating on people for appreciating any or all parts of it.
Usually centering on something I posted a few days ago: years of certain people going on and on about their hatred of Snyder's DC films, Snyder as a person, and the expected ad hominem route taken against fans of his DC films. Rinse and repeat, even after they gleefully crowed that Affleck was never coming back (whoops), or were all but guaranteeing there would be no Cavill Superman appearance in Black Adam / he's never coming back (whoops, the sequel).
This is why I'm curious about The Flash, since Affleck has said in a review a while back that it was the most fun he had being Batman.
The Flash film would be his first time (not counting the small Suicide Squad cameo) where he played the role without Snyder (or Whedon) in charge. It would be kind of funny if he decided to do the role regularly now that Snyder isn't in charge, that would probably break the Snyder stans minds almost as much as Cavil saying he wants to play a happy Superman did
News flash: actor wants to get paid to do a job. Film at 11.
This is just bizarre. Why would a Snyder fan object to Affleck continuing in the role?The Flash film would be his first time (not counting the small Suicide Squad cameo) where he played the role without Snyder (or Whedon) in charge.

Welcome to spin central, where every piece of news must be spun to suit the preferences of the audience member. Actually, more that its a framework of schadenfreude and the desire to see suffering of a particular group of fans.This is just bizarre. Why would a Snyder fan object to Affleck continuing in the role?

Indeed, it is bizarre.
Exactly. Its the likely result of a psychologically fragile state of mind.

Pity. I loved Snyder's versions of Batman and Superman
I don't think so. I think it is more a protectionist stance. Superheroes and comics mean a lot to people (more than they do to me) and for a time, at least when I was younger, liking comics was not considered popular. For many, comics could be a source of solace and encouragement in a time when that was limited at best. So, when something new comes up, or someone offers a version out of step with that protected version it's treated as a threat to something loved. So, it's a highly protective reaction, potentially fueled by a desire for revenge for those who were teased for daring to like comics in the first place.
