I don't understand why they don't just do a Green Arrow movie.

 

[Boy Scout]

Because Batman. And the TV series. Though I'd love one.

I don't understand why they don't just do a Green Arrow movie.

I'm thinking GA May show up in Suicide Squad, they may mix Suicide Squad with that Escape from Supermax script from a few years back

DC's multiverse is just one glaring example of the laziness of that company. Hey, why stop at 5 heroes named Flash when you can say there are 100 Earths all with their own Flash characters! That way, we never have to create anyone new...just slap that logo on a new character and it's an instant connection!

That's why when other companies were creating now iconic characters like Deadpool, Cable, Spawn, Witchblade, Hellboy etc etc DC was just slapping their familiar logos on new people. It's no wonder the company is seen as old fashioned.

A company that doesn't care if their stories make sense next to each other is not a company I'm willing to support. At the moment, I do not watch any DC tv shows, because for me, the movies are the "official" versions. But if we can't even expect the movies to be "official" because some new version could pop up at any time or the stories we pay to see next year may be completely eliminated by the film that follows, then to heck with it. There are so many superhero movies out per year that I can easily skip DC's and still get my fill. I certainly haven't felt like I've been cheated out of entertainment in 2014.

Cut down on the caffeine.

Does this mean we can finally get a third Batman film directed by Tim Burton with Michael Keaton reprising his role as Batman?

Or do they still consider general audiences too dumb to comprehend two different cinematic Batman movies occurring at the same time?

Hopefully not. Their days of doing Batman are well and truly over.

I was originally open to the idea of the multiverse years ago but over time and the more people that I've discussed it with the less appealing the idea became. It's a bit like trying to force things together as opposed to letting them occurring organically.

I think they took him way too literally. He meant that just like with the comic book multiverse these different versions are all valid in their own way and just as credible. Not that they will be crossing over with each other.

That's done more for those continuity nerds. The ones that go "oh such and such is not canon so it's not worth my time bla bla bla". It's just in the nature of DC characters to be that malleable that you can have the Justice Riders and the Justice League exist independently and still fundamentally represent the same concept.

So being adapted into other media is not going to ignore that level of flexibility. In other words no writers or creators would be limited in what they could do when adapting these properties for any given medium and that creative freedom is the fuel that drives some of the most inventive DC narratives. That attitude is why stories like The Dark Knight Returns, Sandman, All-Star Superman and Watchmen even exist.

Just like every Earth in the multiverse is important in the comic book verse or the old hypertime concept from the early 2000's where every piece of media featuring DC charaters from comic books to video games, movies and animated shows "counted" even though they were all completely independent entities from each other.
