Cavill is filming The Witcher in Europe when they're doing those reshoots.



It's not that at all. June is a much better date for it. WB previously had the Six Billion Dollar Man in June 2020. They moved that movie off the date, and put Wonder Woman in the better release date. They can make an additional $100-200M there as opposed to the crowded November. They also have Joker in October 2019 so this spreads things out better.
Isn't Cavill only training right now? It wouldn't be hard for him to fly out for a few days and film a small cameo. Not saying it's true but it's not impossible..

Let me dream

Maybe the delay is due to WB wanting time to react to the reception of Aquaman and Shazam.

If they do well they'll continue the universe. If they bomb, Wonder Woman will become the "reboot". Its a good place to, considering it taking place in the 80s and all.

Are you implying they would change the WW movie based on the reception of the other two? I don't see that happening. WW is probably almost done filming at this point.

No it's just for the better release date. There's no conspiracy. It's all a scheduling thing. WW84 will do better. It won't knock off Joker's legs if that ends up doing well. Delaying Six Billion Dollar man worked out well for the DC stuff.

Oh thats cool then!

Wonder Woman feels like a summer movie too, if that makes sense.

Flashpoint reboot where the entire DCEU roster is recast or Jared Leto led Suicide Squad 2 where the DAMGED tattoo is in comic sans. Calling it now.

I feel like they are going to announce a black actor casting for a white hero. Something like that would surely rile up people

It's pretty obvious going by Manabytes history that he's talking about the Snyder Cult being pissed. So it can't be anything positive for them

I uh, dunno who those are. But Mana implies people are going to attack the writer on Twitter. I don't think black people would do that because of a race change.
I was joking and vergil is static and Jaime is blue beetle.

Yeah probably.

"People" will be happy, "fans" won't.

Snyder fans, or fans of the original vision, are the only passionate fans the DCEU has (or had.)

Whatever Manabyte thinks will happen is likely to please the ERA type DCEU skeptic that wants to burn it all down.

I've speculated about this before but it's been rumoured for months and moooonths that JJ Abrams' Bad Robot, whose Paramount deal ends next summer, will join Warner Bros is a wide ranging, exclusive film & TV deal.

What if this apparent Superman gossip could be the news that Bad Robot is indeed joining WB and one of the properties that they'll be given to produce at the studio will be this new incarnation of Superman? What if Abrams fancies directing this new Superman film himself? It's worth remembering that Abrams wrote the script for McG's aborted Superman film so he has had previous dealings with the character.

Even if this isn't the case there is no doubt in my mind that Warners are currently looking for another 'name director' to direct this new incarnation of Superman with a new Lois and a new Clark. The question then becomes how long do we have to wait before we hear something and how long are WB prepared to wait for a new Superman film to be released?

Abrams would be about as good a get for Superman as possible for WB.

So is the news Mana was talking about the 4K Steelbooks for JL and WW?

Looking it up, I'm a little disappointed the new WW steelbook wasn't the original steelbook.

One I have with the weird art,


New one,

But still, not nearly as good as the international one


Wonder Woman had such great posters and they picked some weird covers for the covers.

After Abrams last brilliant idea for Superman I'm about as hesitant as one can get from wanting him anywhere near decision making.

Why do WB have this skeptical attitude towards superman, like always? I mean I read about Cavill payrise request issues & everything but why can't they get a project running about DC's most popular superhero? Its like imagining Marvel having the full spidey rights with them but not making a movie, its absurd.

Fear of tarnishing the brand. They don't want to bungle him into irrelevancy.

Now I love Supes but Bats is king at DC. One could argue WW and Flash have surpassed him as well.

And the reasons are 1. Negotiations with Cavill broke down and he was basically the only one really pushing for another solo Supes film, 2. Snyder's vision flopped but so did Singer's, so they're not sure what people want from Supes, and finally 3. They've never understood the character and so don't know what to do with him. It sucks but Reign of the Supermen looks pretty damn good, so I'm excited for that at least.

It depends on where you're talking. Johns said in an interview once that they've got data showing Superman is absolutely more popular than Batman in certain territories abroad and even some parts of the US.

The problem for Superman is that Batman tends to be more popular in places where people spend more money. That's only going to become more of an issue for Big Blue as WB digs deeper into their catalog of DC characters while no big Superman project lands to keep the character's relevant. WW* and Flash aren't there yet, but they could be if their movies come out and are hits. Hell, even Aquaman has a chance with his movie coming soon.

*And if WB/DC actually makes some fucking Wonder Woman merchandise. It's crazy that we're a year out from the first movie and there's been so little announced for the character beyond an animated flick for next year, a prose novel, and WW84.

I don't know what else they can do besides more comic books. She basically leads the Super Hero Girls initiative. The only reason they doing a Harley Quinn show is they're want that R&M crowd. Plus she's going to be th lead in that Super Hero Girls tv show that's coming from Lauren Faust.

Damn, I need to go to sleep for work. But I also want to watch Titans and continue read Pokemon Festival Of Champions.

One of the three DC games WB is working on is hopefully Wonder Woman. But I'm doubtful. At the very least a JL game where WW is the focus would be nice.

How is it so hard to come up with a good Superman movie when there are so many animated ones to pick from. I would love a live action Superman vs the Elite and I think it would fit into the universe so well

People mistakenly think his power set is more interesting than his personality, so they start tinkering with him in fucked up ways.

Speaking of good superman movies

Man of Steel is on Sky Movies right now. The Krypton sequence still holds up as stunning, visually.
