The thing is, girls don't buy action figures, so the demo that responded to GL and YJ threw them for a loop.

Of course the fuckers could simply have made merch for girls but they're not the most flexible thinking guys.

Remember the selfie month thing? Let's do this:

SPOILER: show

KIRA 07-29-2014 09:30 PM

Its a toss up between Wonder Woman and the Titans

Nowhere Man 07-30-2014 01:18 AM

I dunno, '66 Robin somehow taking a selfie with a land-line phone is pretty amazing.

A derivative way of revealing this but fine, lets do this.

Kalyx triaD 09-03-2014 12:46 PM

THE ROCK IS BLACK ADAM

Nowhere Man 09-03-2014 02:06 PM

That is easily the best casting decision WB/DC has done so far. Perfect choice.

Shadow 09-03-2014 02:13 PM

Bout the only casting decision I can agree with. Now what type of movie are they gonna make with him?

Sixx 09-03-2014 02:43 PM

Lazy fan art

But you can see the potential. Good that the initial rumours turned out to be true, he wouldn't fit right as Shazam.

Shadow 09-03-2014 02:54 PM

Right so what movie is he getting?

Uh, what?

The villain for Shazam. I'm assuming you were making a joke or something?

KIRA 09-03-2014 07:23 PM

Whooo he's DOING IT! he's gonna be Black Adam!

There's a movie for Shazam? When did that happen? When was that announced? Who's writing, directing, producing this so called movie?

BECAUSE NOTHING LIKE THAT HAS HAPPENED YET!

Hahaha, I really hope you were kicking something while typing this.

Pulling your hair out maybe?

Shadow 09-03-2014 08:35 PM

Voice got higher until I ended in a screech that shattered glass.

Kalyx triaD 09-04-2014 11:56 PM

Supergirl TV series in the works.

Nowhere Man 09-05-2014 01:33 AM

Neat. I wonder if that's going to tie in with the Arrow/Flash 'verse. Because if it is, then I think it's kinda weird of DC to allow major characters from Superman and Batman-- even sidekicks like Supergirl and primary villains like Ra's al Ghul-- into those shows, but not allow Superman and Batman themselves.

Lock Jaw 09-05-2014 01:39 AM

I will be very surprised if a Supergirl show actually gets made

Kalyx triaD 09-05-2014 02:19 AM

I don't think it's in the CW-verse. A network wasn't announced, though.

McLegend 09-05-2014 05:31 PM

The guy producing it is the producer of Arrow so I would think it would be on the CW.

I can see it debuting next fall especially if Flash does well.

Kalyx triaD 09-06-2014 12:01 AM

Imagine three CW-verse shows in one TV season...

Kalyx triaD 09-11-2014 10:24 PM

WB developing a Teen Titans for TNT.

Lock Jaw 09-16-2014 08:49 PM

WB developing a Lucifer for Fox.

Kalyx triaD 09-16-2014 09:13 PM

DC's really hammering the TV front.

Lock Jaw 09-16-2014 09:30 PM

Would have been "cool" if they could have all made it one universe.

KIRA 09-16-2014 09:32 PM

play to your strengths(TV) and work on your weaknesses (MOVIES)

Lock Jaw 09-16-2014 09:33 PM

Would have all had to be on one network, though, which is limiting.

Yeah it seems like they'd go that route but last I read they are hellbent on keeping them separate what a waste of potential.

Miotch 09-17-2014 03:04 PM

Also I don't really think Lucifer would work with, say, The Flash or Arrow. There's potential for a Constantine crossover I suppose, or in an ideal world fucking SANDMAN, but I don't think it would all work under one 'universe'.

Lock Jaw 09-17-2014 08:03 PM

Sandman was in the DC Universe, and it "worked". They don't have to be constantly referring to the other shows/characters. Just maybe the occasional wink and nod... or maybe someone like Deadshot shows up at Lucifer's club. Would still be en entirely different show with an entirely different mood and feel, but would feel like it is in a coherent universe.

But anyways, I don't really care too much either way. Just thought it would be "cool" if they did, but have no problem at all that it isn't.

Kalyx triaD 09-29-2014 07:38 PM

Consider this one of those "I'll believe it when I see it" things but the president of CW rather specially said that their CW-verse heroes could certainly cross over with the planned Titans series on another channel. Now something like that can't completely be up to him, until you consider the Arrow/Flash creators also have a hand in Titans and also Supergirl being planned now. I suppose this would highlight whether or not different networks are a stronger separating force than the fact that they're all DC TV.

This would also raise the question on just how difficult it actually is for the big movie companies to FUCKING GIVE US WHAT WE WANT AND PLAY TOGETHER.

Sequel to JL War, which follows Flashpoint. Note; Son of Batman was also in this New 52 Animated Universe (sigh), but Assault on Arkham was not (that's based on the games). And so it goes:

New 52 Animated Universe

Flashpoint
Justice League War
Son of Batman
Thrown of Atlantis

And while we're on a nerdy roll:

CW-Verse

Arrow
Flash
Suicide Squad (Rumored)
Supergirl (In Talks/Rumored)
Titans (In Talks/Going Forward)

Gotham and Constantine are, far as we can tell, stand-alone. Gotham enough for good reasons, and Constantine only recently played with the big boys in the comics anyway. A new movie version of Johnny boy will appear in Tel Toro's Justice League Dark movie, which will feature Zatanna, Swamp Thing, and The Demon. Not sure if they will be set in the new DC Cinematic Universe; which so far is Man of Steel, Batman v Superman (ugh), and eventually Justice League and "The Batman" (rumored but likely).

DC has made it very clear that TV shows will not cross over with the movies.

With all this world building, I'm kinda sad the Angela Basset's Amanda Waller was wasted on Green Lantern.

Lock Jaw 10-01-2014 06:18 PM

I think Supergirl was picked up by a non-CW channel.

McLegend 10-01-2014 11:20 PM

It is CBS.

Now it has been mentioned that Titans could somehow cross over with Arrow... Don't know how that would work.

Nowhere Man 10-02-2014 01:04 AM

So, I just finished reading "Doomed," the big Superman event for this year. This was a pretty fun one, not perfect by any stretch, but it's the first time in a long while that a Superman story has felt appropriately big and crazy and ridiculous.

The ending, though, might end up being a big fucking deal.

Spoilers ahead, obviously.

SPOILER: show


Okay, so Superman's been doing this whole Jekyll-and-Hyde thing where he's been infected with spores that are turning him into another Doomsday. But it turns out that Doomsday and the new 'SuperDoom' (yes, that's what they call him) are just a distraction, and the real threat is Brainiac, who's trying to absorb the minds of everyone on Earth so he can become powerful enough to remake the universe.

There's a lot of crazy shit, including Wonder Woman diving into the Phantom Zone to beat up Mongul and take over the Warworld to shoot at Brainiac's mother-ship, and Lois Lane temporarily becoming an avatar for Brainiac only to then use his godlike psychic powers against him, and all sorts of fun stuff like that.

The part that really matters, though, is the end. The good guys have smashed Brainiac's ship, thwarted his plan, and all that's left is to deal with Brainy himself. Superman flies himself and Brainiac into a black hole, where they end up outside of the Universe.....

SPOILER: show


....and into the old DC Universe. Holy shit yes.

Catwoman

Kalyx triaD 10-10-2014 03:52 AM

I love that man.

Nowhere Man 10-10-2014 04:02 AM

Well, it's......not as hideous as the Batman one-- I can actually see that thing managing to walk through a door or sit down in a chair without falling over.

Jura 10-10-2014 11:00 AM

Imagine that kitty purring in your lap.
