Upcoming DC Extended Universe (DCEU) Movies

Agent Coulson

Joss at DC didn't work out.

I have a feeling Gunn at DC won't work out either.


Also I was actually looking forward to Gavin O'Connor' version of Suicide Squad.


How long before Big Dave jumps ship to be a member of the Suicide Squad.

In fairness Joss didn't work out because through a certain set of circumstances he ended up making half a film he was barely supposed to be involved in. As for Batgirl, at least he realised he didn't have a story for it and bowed out.

Gunn could be a great fit for DC. His previous films before GOTG were a bit darker, and I think he could blend a darker tone with comedy better than Joss did in JL, with a new set of characters (most of the previous SS team should just be thrown away, start with completely new team).

As for Big Dave...

I imagine he'll still be in GOTG3 both for contractual reasons and they've confirmed they're using James Gunn's script for it rather than rewriting, which was his line in the sand as to whether or not he'd try get out of his contract. But after that he might jump to it.

Thing about using 'James Gunns' GotG3 script, if it wasn't a 100% final version, it's far more likely to have been a draft - a work in progress - and it's entirely possible that what started off as the work of Gunn gets chopped, changed, edited and doctored during production to suit budget / pacing / studio demands. An anonymous script doctor can be parachuted in to do enough changes such that it isn't even legally Gunn's work anymore - wouldn't be the first time that happened.

I don't believe for one second we'll actually 'get' GotG3 by James Gunn in other words. As to Suicide Squad 2? I dunno, on reflection I'm actually surprised he jumped back into the Blockbuster fray so soon, and picking a series that so deliberately aped his own previous work seems like a comfort zone.

All I ask is for Jared Leto's joker to be bumped off in the first five minutes, an imposter rumbled by the real Clown Prince of Crime.

My read of it is it's a big 'up yours' to Disney. DC will happily 'steal' him from Disney and let him do his GotG magic on Suicide Squad. Disney messed up so bad with how they handled the whole thing and this is the parting kick in the nads.

Guess which DC film has been delayed again? If you said "The Flash", ding-ding-ding you win a prize:

So Ezra Miller's commitments with the 'Fantastic Beasts...' series means the already estimated production start has been pushed back to "late 2019".

Makes for depressing reading

Miller was first announced as flash, along with a solo movie 4 years ago

Doctor DooM

Midnight's Edge (who I don't really trust, they seem to build themselves on attacking anything vaguely different) are reporting that

the Joker is the hero and the Waynes are the villains, as out of touch Trump like characters

in the stand alone Joker movie.

ThePott

I heard on a similar note that essentially the Joker becomes an anti-authority symbol to the people of Gotham against the Waynes.
An apparent plot leak also suggests that the film ends with:

Joker taking revenge for the death of his wife, which he blames on Thomas Wayne. Where we see the Waynes walk down Crime Alley, cut to black followed by gunshots.

I don't know if that's any bit plausible, certainly sounds like fan-fic. I really have no idea how to feel about this Joker film.

Delay of 7 months for Wonder Woman, won't be out till 2020 now.
Don't know why that's super exciting.

They wanted a summer blockbuster date, but won't make the cut for June 2019? 2020 is so unnecessarily far away though.

Oh I have no doubt they wanted Summer after WW1 performed so well in the Summer, in fact this is around the same weekend 3 years later. I just found the wording of calling a delay exciting odd.

Agent Coulson

Trying to take a 2020 summer date before Marvel unveil there's.

Next summer will have Marvels own first Female lead film Captain Marvel along with Avengers 4 and Spider-Man Far From Home no way did they want to go up against them.

Penn

Damn American date system. Thought they were going for the 6th of May 2020, which would normally be the week of the big Marvel movie for the year.

Not entirely sure what she means by "Thanks to the changing landscape". I guess she means the changes to the DCEU, but being set in 1984 I would have thought there was little-to-no connectivity anyway.

TheIrishGrover

Yeah, 2019 is fairly crammed alright. It's a good decision. WW was their biggest critical and commercial success and it makes sense to have it as their big big movie. I mean everyone knows it:

This may not be very mod-like, but lighten up Smertrius. C'mon. Superman shouldn't be able to fly or shoot lasers from his eyes either, but here we all are, enjoying the blatant fantasy

You should maybe take a look at any justice league comic since 2011.

As with all fictional heroes, in all forms of media, his powers will vary depending on the needs of the story. Even without that, there's no reason to doubt that he has a certain amount of control of how much of a charge he wants to give....

Y.... You do know comics are ....... y'know, they're not real, right?..... Right?

The average bolt of lightning, striking from cloud to ground, contains roughly one billion joules of energy. This would be more than enough energy to fully charge a smart phone in a micro second. The worst thing that could happen is that the phone would be overloaded with juice and break which may cause your average citizen some stress. It’s not an ideal scenario, but we all make mistakes when we start s new job. Also Remember that Billy is just a kid so he will be prone to making some novice mistakes. As long as he learns his lesson, I will be okay with that.

these are comic books superheroes so their source comes from the comic books not the media

that is reboot series of comics of the justice league its reboot series, reboots don't count , only original comic books series of the justice league count

martian manhunter he proper member of justice league use him or John Stewart green lantern

ThePott

Smertius your argument is totally flawed you can't cite the factual characteristics of a lightning bolt and then compare it to a comic book that is anything other than realistic or factual. The whole point of these books and movies is that they don't exist in reality, it's what makes them escapsim.

Not to mention you can't just stick to original canon as untouchable there's been dozens of retcons and changes to heroes for decades. Hell even calling him Shazam is essentially not adhering to the original story as he should be referred to as Captain Marvel and he wasn't even in the DC universe initially.
If you're looking for an adaption that is slavish to any original comics you probably won't find it. It's natural for changes to be made as the medium they are presented in change.

Mellow out dude, you'll always have the comics if that's your preference. Just don't see the movie if you don't like how the character is presented.

By your logic John Stewart shouldn’t be a member of the JL. It would be Hal Jordan. The original justice league lineup lasted only 6 issues before the cast was rapidly expanded. Also if reboots don’t count then nothing since Crisis on Infinite Earths doesn’t count. The Crisis started in 1985. I know your whole thing is talking ****e without any logic but come on.

Smertrius

i rather have black adam protecting the world then shazam

i love the comics book , you lot see not care about the comics book , if you did care about the comics would agree with me

Who is this (incredibly annoying) woman and what are her sources?

This sounds like a terrible idea, reworking an entire film this late in the day is ridiculous even by WB standards.

Sorry, I wasn't being smart, I don't really follow YouTube channels. Just checked Twitter to see what people are saying and the general consensus seems to be that the story is rubbish.
