DC Movies - To Infinity and Beyond

[Captaindemotion]

All this stuff coming out, cancelled projects, reboots, wonder woman, black adam, leaks etc. It reminds me of a time when I was at a cafe and a couple next to me were breaking up badly. I just don't want to be there.

“It’s not me, it’s DCEU.”

The proverbial “source” claims that Gunn and Safran are considering how to incorporate Matt Reeves’ The Batman into a wider DC universe. (Though there’s not a lot to corroborate this, other than the basic fact that I’m sure everything’s under consideration and on the table; doesn’t mean that it’s a priority or the like).

Gunn's debunked this on twitter already, now.

It's hard for the people who make stuff up when the person in charge is so active on social media.

Good. Reeves' Patt-man does not fit in the DCU. Completely different animal.

 

[Tuskin38]

It's a multiverse, any kind of Batman can fit.

The Hollywood trades have no tradition of "integrity" to uphold or impugn. The best of them are two steps up from the press releases with which they fill so many pages.

Bwah-ha-ha. That reads like something written by a lawyer and sounds nothing like Gunn normally does.

You're not an expert observer of any kind, and there's no reason to assume that your opinion is likely to be correct.

Weren't they walking into WB just as she was walking out anyway? Probably got told by the execs "Trust us, you don't want to be anywhere near this situation. Just play nice and be diplomatic if she calls you out."

Henry will not be back as Superman.

Wow, there it is. I respect him for laying it out, that has to be tough with them dangling the carrot so recently.

 

[Tuskin38]

The story Gunn is working on is set earlier in superman's life, but it's not an origin story

DC films is a mess and glad i've been largely out for a while.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Looks like they're rebuilding from the ground up.

This is why I continue to call it the DC Film Universe

 

[thribs]

Sounds like Cavil will be in something. Just not this.

Considering Superman is a near immortal being, young Superman could mean anything. He could be 500 years old and still be considered young.

Technically, sure, but I actually see the point that Patt-man doesn't mesh with the current iteration of the DCU.

Looks like they're rebuilding from the ground up.

I actually expected this. It's all been more or less a disjointed mess. It's like having tainted lettuce in your salad. You can try to pick out the tainted parts, but it's not really going to work. Throw it out and start over, particularly if you're trying to unify the DCU.

Oof... That's gotta be hard on Henry. After keeping quiet on things for years and then finally breaking silence on it by announcing his return and then a month or so later he is ditched.
I'd say that's it for the current DC Universe then. I guess Flash, Shazam and Aquaman will be the last of the run. Maybe they'll retool the Flash in some manner to create this reboot. They might even have it switch places with Aquaman. Gonna be weird if it's a massive hit and there won't be any sequels...

 

[The Lensman]

Man, what a letdown for Henry and the fans. He handled it with class. With any luck, he’ll get cast as the Superman of Earth-Two or something like Shipp was cast as The Flash of Earth-Two. Not gonna get my hopes up, but it’d be cool.
