Also, god damn HBO max is getting a ton of shit.

HBO Max has decided not to go with it. However, unlike the Batgirl movie, there is apparently still the possibility of shopping it to somewhere else. So I think someone is bound to get it, due to the names involved and because it is Batman.

Damn

I was really looking forward to that too, I hope someone else picks it up

Discovery really putting in quality work right. Its 101 but theyve not missed a step so far. Getting as lean as they can across all of their assets and start getting the debt WB had under control. This stock is a great investment. In ten years this is going to be a very healthy company if they keep doing what theyre doing. Get lean, strategically grow once your debt is handled, then expand. Hopefully they can get some new scripts that wont cost them millions (or start any hilariously bad apps while theyre at it.)

Hard to judge the rumor. His projects are well financed and well marketed so it certainly serves them well. Given his role however we cant surmise anything, good or bad, about him as a visionary.

The key to finding the right guy for the position in question is his grasp on the characters and the cultural perception of those characters. How do you meld who the characters are against who theyre perceived to be in a way that attracts both the initiated and the uninitiated alike.

Couple that with the general perception of "lolDCbad" and its tough for anyone for climb this particular mountain. In all reality DC needs a decade on the shelf for mainstream audiences to forget the stink of the synder run...but thats not in the cards. At all.

Lock Jaw 08-25-2022 09:07 PM

I also don't want DC to "Marvel-ize" where all their movies just become comedies and nothing really feels like a movie you'd want to rewatch wver

Destor 08-25-2022 11:18 PM

I think marvel could stand to be less slapstick itself but DC definitely needs to be able to make pictures that are at least fun. The Nolan trilogy is very serious and very dark but theyre still fun movies. The Donnor Superman may be campy but it was a very fun film. Itll make you smile. Fun doesnt have to mean Airplane.

Rumor going around WBDiscovery will make more cuts/layoffs today and DC could be affected...will be sad one day when the only monthlies end up being like 10 Bat titles, a Supes title or two and a Justice League book...

Lock Jaw 10-11-2022 01:40 PM

Pretty much already like that, but with a Flash and Wonder Woman book still being around too.

Man of Steel 2 with Henry Cavill officially in development.... Really hoping they can turn it around. Joss Whedon's Justice League proved to me that I could enjoy Cavill as Superman, so I really hope we can get a freaking good Superman movie for once.

Also announced is that Matt Reeves is expanding the world of The Batman with not only a sequel, and the Penguin HBO Max show...... but also working on "Rogues Gallery" movies for Scarecrow, Clayface, Professor Pyg, and others...

The further away we get from it the more I realize how utterly forgettable The Batman was, so kinda sucks that they are going "all-in" with Reeves and his universe.... hopefully it can turn around too.

Destor 10-17-2022 10:07 PM

Id love to see Cavil out from under Synder. He's phenomenal and he's drug these bad scripts or poor visions to as close to watchable as they could possibly be

Kalyx triaD 10-18-2022 06:17 AM

The Rock helping turn DCEU around was not expected.

Until the head of this company decides he needs another tax write off.

Kalyx triaD 10-19-2022 04:59 AM

All I'll say on Batgirl is if that test screening was a banger they'd totally launch the movie.

Destor 10-19-2022 04:29 PM

Exactly if they thought there were profits to be had we'd be seeing the film.

Lock Jaw 10-31-2022 12:46 PM

CW cancels Stargirl, season 3 will be the last.

Superman & Lois the sole survivor for now.....

Plus that upcoming terrible looking Gotham Knights show that they could probably just totally "Batgirl" and not even get any backlash about

Destor 10-31-2022 06:12 PM

CWverse had a good run

Lengua 11-01-2022 12:48 AM

I'd be more sad about cw if Gunn wasn't in charge of things now.

Sounds like Superman & Lois might not last another season

McLegend 11-01-2022 08:09 PM

CWverse had a great run.

Even though it’s still technically going The Flash has probably been dead for 2 seasons. I’m just watching this last season and some of the episodes are tough to sit through.

Lock Jaw 11-02-2022 01:46 AM

Read the "Challenge of the Super Sons" comic..... damn.... still can't believe that anyone would have thought it was a good idea to break up that combo....

I do hear "good things" about Jon Kent Superman, but he shouldn't be. Dunno what's been going on with Damian the past few years, but they took away his colours and gave him a "drab" costume is all I know.....

So was good to see them together again....

I guess they just came out with a Super Sons animated movie... might have to check that one out.... seems even "crazier" that they are still "pushing" the Super Sons in other media even though they "ruined it" in the comics....

Lock Jaw 11-03-2022 09:53 PM

Been catching up on old comics, kind of "picking up where I left off"..... The Terrifics was a great fun little series.... too bad it got canceled...

drave 11-04-2022 08:46 AM

So it wasn't named well.
