DC Movies - To Infinity and Beyond

The Flash is tracking for a 70m opening, or to put it another way only slightly more than Black Adam.

So if true it looks like Gunn won't have to make any difficult decisions about Ezra's future.
 
Remember how studios announce they've "greenlit" sequels for films right before they open as part of a marketing strategy to show they "believe" in the film and make audiences think it's so great they greenlit the sequel before even seeing how much money it makes? When really the announcement means absolutely nothing?

And remember how part of Shazam's failure was attributed to the announcement of the ending of the DCEU before it's release?

Put the two of them together and you get all the talk about continuing The Flash as is "being on the table" and Gunn still having decisions to make.

Depends on if the movie has legs. Didn't Aquaman open around that and went on to a billion?

Has James Gunn made it clear that he would consider Ezra Miller continuing as the Flash in future DC movies, if this new movie is a hit?


I won't miss Snyder's take on these characters. Snyder is a visually interesting director but was ill-suited for anything other than a deconstructionist take geared toward a very niche audience. Hopefully Gunn will do better.

One, I don't agree with your opinion on Snyder. And two, I have my doubts about Gunn, considering that I've only liked one of his movies.
 
Snyder seemed to try to remake Superman into something that was interesting to him personally as opposed to bringing the character as thought of by the general audience to life, especially in the awful "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." It landed for some, but not for many, hence Snyder is gone and a new take will be attempted by Gunn. Mileage will vary.
 
It’s just a shame we never got to see Snyder take on Superman when he was experienced at said role and was comfortable at it. I feel that would have been something special

Zack Snyder understands precisely nothing about Superman.

I don’t think that’s true at all. Like most comic book characters they are quite flexible and so I don’t think there is one correct way to portray him.
Snyder’s take might be a tad more violent but I still see Superman in him. The only version I’m not a fan of is the Injustice version. I just don’t buy Clark would fall that far if Lois died. DCU Online did that scenario better I thought

..and Superman Returns proved the movie going audience was fed up with that tired Santa Daddy from the Salkinds. It was not 1978 anymore, but Singer's regressive fanboy mind missed the large-as-the-universe memo about that. It would be as ridiculous as the Battlestar Galactica reboot if it had been patterned after the '78 series when no modern audience with far different expectations / sensibilities would desire that.

There was a scene in BvS that was cut for being too dark


https://gizmodo.com/zack-snyder-actually-cut-a-scene-from-batman-v-superman-1769852911




So Snyders Superman shut out all the other cries for help to focus in on finding his mother



Even though Superman Returns has it's own issues this scene conveyed the same thing without having to be "too dark"

It shows he has a burden to carry.

I think someone else on another forum made a good point: Zack Snyder, personally, in his heart of hearts, does not believe in the concept of the superhero. He doesn't believe that someone with great power could ever have great responsibility. He doesn't believe that someone with the ability to move planets could ever have a sense of altruism, could ever help people for the sole reason of it being the right thing to do.

Simply put... he's Lex Luthor.



He also killed Jimmy Olsen to set the tone

“We just did it as this little aside because we had been tracking where we thought the movies were gonna go, and we don’t have room for Jimmy Olsen in our big pantheon of characters, but we can have fun with him, right?” he said.

Who thinks its fun just to kill someone off?
 
I do t get the fuss over Jimmy Olsen. It wasn’t like he was a photographer here.
Anyway, who’s to say he’s just Jimmy’s older brother and that the actual Jimmy is still around. Smallville did that
