Movies: DC Universe

[Jussi]

Batman: Ninja was hot garbage. I thought Gotham By Gaslight was better. They even butchered the Judas Contract. The DCAU has nosedived since they tried having somewhat of a continuity.

I thought Superman and Wonder Woman being together in one movie and then suddenly Superman being with Lois Lane in the next was a bit confusing. I know The Death of Superman was sort of accurate to the comic book version but it just felt off.

Agreed. It was soooo bad

 

[Unholy]

I loved Batman Ninja but that stuff is already my thing sooo.

But damn please hard reboot this thing. If they still try and do Flashpoint it will be even more of a wreck. That movie was already undeserving of trying to be made this early but they've been f***ing up since the beginning.

Thank the lord Affleck is done as Batman.

Sad to see Cavill go - but the Rock as Superman would make too much sense.

I hope for Batman they don't choose Hamm or some other older guy.

The Rock is already playing Black Adam in the DCEU and is appearing in the Shazam! movie.

Haven't the DC animated films been kind of viewed as massive swings and misses as well as of late?

Yea that slipped my mind.

Pretty much. And DC usually destroys Marvel with their animated stuff.

They even screwed up "Batman: The Killing Joke" which I thought was impossible as it's one of the best Batman stories

At least they got Under The Red Hood right. That, The Flashpoint Paradox and Crisis On Two Earths are still my favourites.

The Dark Knight Returns Parts 1 and 2 were good as well. The theme song alone makes it worth watching:

How about Josh Brolin as the next Batman?

Tool old. Unless they do a live action version of The Dark Knight Returns.

Robert Downey Jr is 3 years older than Brolin. Nobody is saying he's too old to play Ironman

And Brolin is only 4 years older than Affleck

I like the idea of Batman being the elder statesman among the Justice League

You need someone young enough to carry the franchise for 10-12 years.

Agree to disagree

I see no problem with Brolin donning the cape at 60

DC is about to kick the **** out of the cute and flowery Marvel movies. Suicide Squad and Batman v Superman (depending on how well they do critically/boxoffice) will change super hero movies forever.

This post aged well

Maybe he saw both movies and quit HFBoards as a result? Hasn't been here since May 30th 2017.

He'll be tied with Disney on X-Force.

This is legit my favorite superhero movie of all-time, including the ones with real actors.

It's just so freaking good.I always watch the two parts back to back as one single movie, which makes it 148 minutes of pure awesomeness.A masterpiece.

Peter Weller was perfect as Batman's voice too.

Marvel set the foundation for their universe well with Iron Man and Captain America (and to a lesser extent Thor). DC didn't set the foundation well at all with Batman or Superman, who are kind of important characters in that universe. I don't think there's any way to save it short of just pulling the plug and starting over. I don't think focusing on Supergirl (which already has a TV series), or any of the other smaller characters they have rumored is going to do much if they can't get the main characters set up properly. I don't know how they'd shoehorn Wonder Woman or Aquaman (if it's any good) into a new universe though.

Good article that looks at the craziness of the DCEU and beyond. So not only is there the above mentioned Joker but DC is planning a solo Joker movie with the Leto version along with a Joker vs Harley Quinn movie with Leto and a second Suicide Squad one that would focus more on the Joker as the bad guy.

Confirmed movies that are in the DCEU
Aquaman (December 21 2018)
Shazam! (April 5 2019)
Wonder Woman 1984 (November 2019)
Flash (maybe 2020)
The Batman (no release date)
Black Adams (no date yet)

Further off with no dates or might never be made but are still on DC/Warner radar
Supergirl
Batgirl
Green Lantern Corps.
Cyborg (release is not sure)
Birds of Prey (Margo Robbie's Harley would be part of it)
Gotham City Sirens (Robbie again this time with Catwoman and Poison Ivy)
Nightwing
Justice League Dark
New Gods (would be a different branch of the DCEU)

And finally, outside the DCEU there is Speilberg potentially developing movies about the WW2 era Blackhawks and also outside the DCEU would be Booster Gold.

talk about messed up planning etc.

There is no planning. It looks like they're throwing darts at a wall hoping something will make them a truck load of cash.

Anybody buy the DC Universe app? Thinking about it for BTAS but also thinking about just buying the box set as that’d be the only thing I’m mostly interested in....

I tink that DC is causing confusion with so many Joker movies

Worse than confusion, I think it is causing apathy.
