I'd settle for just one good one. Not even one movie a year. Just one, period. If I were WB, I'd focus on accomplishing that before attempting anything else.

NY Times: Walter Hamada wants 4 DC theatrical movies a year and 2 on HBO Max
- Thread starter Wingfan19
- Start date
Something tells me that all the studios that didn't get to release any big movies because of the pandemic are going to be making up for lost time within the next ten years by utterly exhausting themselves - and us - with as many nine figure budget blockbuster movies as they can conceivably fit into each year.
😅

Don't really care if everything is connected, but i would like to see some crossovers.
With Tim, right?
This sounds bad at first but after thinking about, I don't think every superhero universe needs to be like the MCU and I think DC having multiple takes on characters at the same time could work (we've already seen it with the Joker and then there was the crossover stuff with DCTV and DCEU). The issue is more so the quality of their movies than anything else.
Not sure, as they already kinda started this with dc universe with stargirl, swamp thing, titans, and doom patrol. Even then they were in the planning stages for more.
WB wants to improve. That much is obvious. I just hope they put out good stuff. I'm ready for the multiverse.
They talked about this during DC fandome this summer. Hamada was in that too. I made a thread about it
Nielsen streaming ratings and renting trending pages, imperfect tools but it's what we got. iirc Birds of Prey went soon to be behind Bad Boys for Life, Sonic the Hedgehog, and more. Similarly as its BO, a small impact.
Like I said, they need to rethink their strategy: No R rating.for this particular character maybe, changing director or lead, assemble with more similar characters, etc. Some changes that attracts audiences. Streaming doesn't mean they want their most popular female character (Harley Quinn) to be in a niche film, they want her to be like the Joker.
As much as I liked WW84, it's understandable if they make changes going forward to garner positive reception from worldwide spectators.
Having said that, an HBO Max series based on the film Birds of Prey could be possible and a cool route to take these already established characters.
"Great" is definitely pushing it. It had a solid reception from critics and a terrible reception from audiences.
I don't get audiences then. My wife and I loved it. It's significantly better than the first Wonder Woman movie, for instance.
it's not dying, it's just literally not safe to go right now thanks to a pandemic. Once that's over you'll see people go right back to full theaters
It's going to suck if we are going to have multiple alternate earth Batman projects that are grim and gritty. Give us something closer to the animated series at least.
I think most of us on this forum could follow along with multiverse story lines and different interpretations of the characters but I don't know how that plays out with regular movie goers.
This seems like just more of the failing strategy that DC has followed with their movies. I'm all for more DC movies but they have been playing catch up with marvel for 15 years and this seems really desperate. It doesn't matter if marvel releases 6 movies a year cause the stewardship of those characters has been light years ahead of DC. Flooding the market with batmans isn't a cohesive plan.

Batman makes bank. This is no surprise at all, and will likely work in the short term before fan burnout. Sound familiar?
Star Wars.
This is a good strategy if you need to hit your revenue targets over the next 2-3 years. Same, reliable, and short term in nature.
