Margot needs to spend more time with a dialect coach. That clip made me very, very unsure about this film.
Yeah, was going to say it's an improvement over Suicide Squad.
I think she's close enough to please most.
It's fascinating, we're in a moment we haven't really been in since 2014 and maybe not even then
We have a slate of movies and it doesn't feel like many are... questionable
Like Birds of Prey and Wonder Woma 84 are def happening
No way The Batman and Aquaman don't hit their dates.
I have every faith that Shazam will be there when it says. Not sure how Black Adam will turn out, but it will be made.
There's The Flash....
Well most everything seems solid!

Right that is def coming out too!
Like we have movies... with actors, writers and directors attached. For the next 3 years
And yet, I still don't feel the general audience consensus is that any of these movies are good or will be good. The amount of groans I heard last night about the BoP commercial were not shocking. Doesn't matter if Aquaman did a billy or WW will (probably) be good, DC movies can't shake the stink. It's so annoying.
Problem is what the hell are they gonna do with Batman and Superman? Everything else at least fits the DCEU as we knew it, but 2/3's of the trinity are up in the air. Batman is reset, yet some of his characters live on through Suicide Squad and BoP. Superman is absent.
BoP is clearly not aimed at hardcore comic book fans, it's for Harley Quinn fans. If you don't like Harley that movie is not for you. The more I see of it the less interested I get but I do think it will be a success.
The "trio" is Aquaman, WW, and Shazam, with Flash maybe showing up if that can actually get made. Battison is its own thing, Batman doesn't need anyone else to be successful it just needs to not be dogshit. If the Witcher is a huge critical and commercial success maybe Cavill will break through the deadlock, otherwise like the Variety article said, 2023 (Superman's 85th anniversary) is probably when we'll get the new Supes.
A JL movie is not happening until 2025 at the absolute earliest and probably not even in the next decade.
There is no larger connected universe that matters. Batman is going to be its own thing. I don't know why people continue to think that it will be folded into anything. The casting screams we're signing up for a small run of films and that's it.
I'm sure that's Reeves plan right now but down the line who knows?
I'm thinking less about box office and more of how they'll make sense of all this in the broader picture. I really doubt Battinson is completely separate from the DCEU. They probably want to reset Joker, yet they'd also want Margot's Harley involved at some point. 'The Batman' also probably doesn't want to contradict anything going on in Squad and BoP.
Long story short, even if Battinson is supposed to be its own thing, they'll want to keep that DCEU bridge open.
I honestly don't concern myself with that
Even with the icon, if Batman went on break for a decade I wouldn't necessarily shed a tear.
Clearly, those two properties have a lot more value/stakes for WB which is why they seem to cause the most headaches. Let's have em focus on lesser properties, where clearly don't care as much what's going on because they have been on quite the streak.
They'll say "fuck logic" and just have Harley show up lol. Suits don't give a shit about "continuity" that's for nerds. Of course that's only if Reeves wants Joker or Harley, I gotta assume his contract gives him full creative control.
Nothing should be for hardcore comic book nerds. In fact, they should be all hauled up and placed away from regular society.
I can't imagine thinking Batman is in a bad spot when we're getting a movie and an Arkham video game in the future. Superman is getting two animated movies and a TV show. The other JLers are still getting movies. Only character who is for real fucked is poor Cyborg, JL was the last breath for DC's push for him.
But he could've been cool if DC wasn't so obsessed with "Am I a man or a machine?" shit :( but really Ray is the one I feel most bad for. I hope the next time they try JL if they ever do they put Vixen on the team.
After watching his two episodes of the Mandalorian, Warner Bros lost out on Rick Famuyiwa leaving the Flash.
I like him in Doom Patrol
And still a core member of Teen Titans Go and semi focus of Young Justice
Hardcore nerd or not, people are genuinely concerned about that. The worse thing is that we're in a period of not knowing which direction they're going in. Two years ago, Reeves said his Bats was in the DCEU. If that's still true, then cool. If not, then please let us fucking know.
I kinda understand the Superman situation. I mean... just look at Batman. I don't think they want to go in that direction, whatever it is. They see how Cavill's three movies were received. And they don't want to stick to Snyder's vision of Superman's "journey". It really sounds troublesome. So I get that.
Overall though, it's as Penguin said, we're in a sweet spot right now.
I'm hyped as hell for:
Bird of Prey
WW84
Shazam 2
Black Adam
Aquaman 2
The Suicide Squad
All of those movies are gonna be fire. I love each and every one of those properties. The only one that won't light the BO on fire is Shazam 2. Still, I think their successes will force them to get Superman and Bats together.
I think Shazam 2 will 100% be affected by how Black Adam does. There's just no way they can release those movies 4 months apart and not tie in somehow. If they end BA with Adam showing up present day and it picks right up in Shazam 2, that'd be f'n awesome. And yeah, I'm down for that to be the first time we see Cavill back as Superman as well helping Billy out, but ultimately not being able to stay due to his weakness to magic. That gets the audience back in with the "new" Superman in a family fun movie.
I remember reading the director saying they wont meet up til the third movie. Idk if that's still true or if I made that all up.
Would make sense, they gotta deal with that Mister Mind tease after all.
I'd rather they save Mr Mind for the 3rd movie. Gives them time to set up a few more villains in the universe so Shazam can take them all on in his 3rd movie.
BoP is cheap, so it's less of a problem if the audience is mixed.
Where are you looking
Like I feel like the same was said about Aquaman and Joker
And the general audience reacted much differently than online people
