Warner bros announce superhero films through 2020

[Dick Whitman]

There is a brief mention of Arthur helping defeat Steppenwolf and later a quick glimpse of a Central City newspaper. Which could have been just as easily been from any other newspaper. It has nothing to do with the Flash. Those are the only references to the DC Universe outside of Aquaman’s own mythology in his film. Which was a very smart choice. Anyone can watch it without previous knowledge.

Correction - I just saw Aquaman a second time. It was a Coast City newspaper. Which is fitting given it’s a newspaper headline about Aquaman. A city right on the Ocean and more directly affected by what happens in it than other major cities.

Spin incoming in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ....

An actor has an opinion.

Patty Jenkins has made it clear, as I noted, that the ending of Wonder Woman is not inconsistent with what BvS establishes, which relegates Gal Gadot's comments - whatever you interpret them to mean - to the realm of opinion.

And that's not "spin"; it's just the truth.

Where?

 

[DigificWriter]

Where?

In her statements about how closely she worked with Zack Snyder as Wonder Woman was being filmed.

 

[JD]

They haven't. Nothing in the films or interviews explains why Superman only started caring about Batman as of BvS and what WW was up to. Or that MOS was always meant to be the start of a new Universe full of DC's characters as opposed to just Superman.

He didn't care about Batman until he started becoming overly violent.

I wish I could remember where, but I read that WB executives though a "shared universe" wouldn't be profitable but couldn't ignore Marvel Studios success any longer. They didn't want it but at the same time thought if they could do it we sure could. I don't think this is unusual in Hollywood, there are lots of movies that seem very similar across many different genres, see Movie Duels on Agony Booth for a start

They should of been fired on the spot for such thinking. WB has no excuse but their own incompetence for failing to make Billions from their rich DC comic book universe in an era where the film going public are obsessed with comic book movies.

ALSO YOU HAVE BATMAN FFS

 

[Christopher]

They should of been fired on the spot for such thinking.

No, they were basically right. Shared universes don't automatically make films successful; most of the films that have prioritized launching a shared universe over simply making a good movie have been bombs, and the shared universes have never emerged anyway. If you assume that just copying a successful movie's formula will automatically make your movie successful, then you'll put imitation over quality and the result will be a failure because it's bad. The first priority should always be to make each individual movie as good as it can be. If the movies are good, then you can earn a shared universe.

John Malkovich recently did a series of photos where he posed as different historical figures and pop culture characters, and one of them was The Joker.
This needs to happen in a movie, Malkovich would be an amazing Joker.
At first I was thinking he would be closer in age to Ben Affleck than Jared Leto is, but it turns out Leto and Affleck are both 46. I was thinking Affleck was older than that and that Leto was a lot younger.

 

[TREK_GOD_1]

Have whatever problems you want with the specific details of how things fit together, but the claim that MOS was never intended to start a shared universe is plainly nonsensical.

Otherwise known as a lie to support his hatred of the DC movies.

And more significantly, MOS deliberately included Wayne tech cameos in the movie. There was literally no reason to do that at all if not to tease fans about the possibility of a shared universe.

Even if that did not appear, WB was not vague about MoS being the launch pad for a non-Nolan/Bat universe DC film series, but some will continue to post whatever bizarre thing is believed to protect the MCU.

Gal Gadot announced that they have finished filming Wonder Woman 1984.

He didn't care about Batman until he started becoming overly violent.

He acted like he didn't even KNOW of Batman's existence until BvS. And the way he acts makes it seem like he just doesn't like Batman at all, nothing about his new actions.

I see the usual suspects are here spreading holiday cheer...

Can we have one day a year without the relentless negativity?

 

[Tosk]

There was a gap between August and December in this thread where no one posted. A few months without relentless negativity is all you get.

That's because a new thread was started in August, and whoever resurrected this one wasn't paying attention to the current place to go and endlessly whinge...

You started the other thread while this one was still active, so now I know who to blame for letting the people whine twice as much as they did before.

He didn't care about Batman until he started becoming overly violent.

That was apparent in the movie.

He acted like he didn't even KNOW of Batman's existence until BvS. And the way he acts makes it seem like he just doesn't like Batman at all, nothing about his new actions.

"Man of Steel" was the first film. Hell, Clark didn't become a resident of Metropolis, until the end of the film. And he had Zod and the Kryptonians to think about. "Batman v. Superman" was the second film, which was set some two years later. By that time, Clark/Superman had become aware of Batman. Following the Black Zero event, which he had witnessed, Batman had become increasingly violent while capturing criminals. The movie made that clear. So, I'm a little confused over the above complaint.

 

[Anwar]

That was apparent in the movie.

He doesn't act like he only just started worrying about Batman's new methods, in BvS he act like he disapproves of Batman in general. And if Batman had been around for 20 years as of BvS, he'd have noticed him much sooner.
