[Pants Under Underpants]

Now if we could only get TWO DC films that were both received well by most fans and audiences alike, that would definitely be a step in the right direction.

That would be ideal, but I'll appreciate everything I'm given until then. It's better than nothing. If the story isn't what I had hoped for, I'll just think of it as an Elseworlds story. Which is exactly what the movies are.

 

[ManWithNoName18]

I just can't believe that we got BvS and SS last year, and we're getting WW and JL this year.

TWO DC FILMS A YEAR!!!
Wabadub dub!! And awaaaaaay we go!

Dat wait between MOS and BVS was loooooooong

 

[Pants Under Underpants]

Yep, we definitely earned this luxury. And we currently have Justice League Action and Young Justice S3 on the horizon.

 

[NotNickFury]

On the subject of after or post-credits scene speculation, do people believe there will even be one? Snyder didn't have one for Dawn of Justice and I haven't seen any indication that he'd do them going forward, even with Ayer breaking rank and including the mid-credits scene in Suicide Squad.

For all we know, any hints of a villain for the next film may be seen on the Blu-Ray release of Justice League: Justice Edition.

 

[2kt09]

Or from another social media "leak" as an announcement or whilst developing the next one.

 

[ManWithNoName18]

It funny reading Suicide Squad vs Justice League, and got around to the actual big fight between the two teams. I was really interested in how it would play out

Here's what happens, Comic book spoilers

Spoiler

The Suicide Squad gets their butts handed to them except for Enchantress who is able to incapacitate Superman long enough for Killer Frost to do her life force sucking thing on him. Killer Frost then uses this power boost to defeat the entire Justice League single handedly

Are we still going to get the 3 DC films per year slate? That would be cool and catch up with Marvel.

Hmm, maybe not. Marvel is doing 3 films a year now, aren't they?

 

[ManWithNoName18]

Current timeline is 2 movies per year, but we also got Sirens, JLD, MOS 2, SS 2, and who knows maybe a Deadshot solo in development. So 3 per year could happen soon.

Guess we may find out this year if last month's reporting holds any salt.

 

[ManWithNoName18]

Plus the Flash no longer seems likely to make its 2018 date, it'll have to be moved somewhere else.

I really don't see a Deadshot solo happening. Even Sirens is up in the air at the moment as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I would much rather prefer to have one or maybe two DCEU movie per year. Not more than that. There's MCU and X-Men movies to look forward to for the rest of the year.

Do 1 or 2 movies and try to make them great (One BvS per year, I don't need a Skwad to go with it), just how I like it.

If they don't affect each other's quality, why limit the output? A year is a long time. I don't get how people can watch over 20+ hours worth of a season for a TV show within the same timespan, but anything over 5 for a movie universe seems like overkill.

Hell, I'd take a movie a month if the quality doesn't dip. It'd still barely scratch my itch for seeing CBMs on the silver screen.

I get what you're saying and I'll support quality CBMs as well. How many of 'em we are getting per year doesn't really matter at that point.

Will the parademons scream "For Darkseid" before going to war/self-sacrificing?

 

[morningmimosa]

Very Interesting JL figured high on these guys' top anticipated films. They were pretty disappointed with BvS.

Kristian's CBMs in his Top 10 most anticipated. (#1 EP8, #2 War for the PotA)
#3 JL
#4 SM:H
#6 GoTG Vol. 2
#7 WW
#9 Logan
Honorable Mention: Ragnarok

Mark's CBMs in his Top 10 most anticipated. (#1 EP8)

Wow, this is embarassing.


Amirite, Benal?

Amirite, Benal?

Well, he has moved on from JL to his newest round of bashing Wonder Woman (this time around it's Israel). I'm just waiting for him/her to pop up with some news (probably something negative/critical of the DCEU, as that's all he seems find on the interwebs).

 

[Jekecy]

DC has always had the fortune of hype carrying over into each of their films. It's when the films come out that they falter.

I've seen both BvS and SS either absent from Top 10 end-of-the-year lists, or making the Top 10 worst/disappointing at an alarming rate. Not a great sign for the year the DCEU was supposed to mark its territory with a bang.

WW and JL really need to turn things around, these aren't like the Transformers films where the divide between the critics and audiences is so vast they can continue pumping out the same type of film.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

JL is not going to turn things around. Maybe with a different director it would have a shot. I believe with the director that it does have, it has virtually no shot. Snyder isn't suddenly going to become a non-polarizing figure as a filmmaker. He can't make a crowd pleaser or well received film to save his life and those are the things JL needs to be.

Wonder Woman has a slight chance but it's a still a DC film (with Snyder involved with the story, yuck) so it's best to keep your hopes in check. Despite WB's abysmal track record Wonder Woman is still my most anticipated film of the year. This time I'm prepared for it sucking though.

The most I think WB can hope for is a split year like Fox had in 2016. A solo movie garnering solid reviews (Deadpool) and the team up film garnering poor reviews (X-Men: Apocalypse).

 

[WoodyROM]

Def need some winter weather either in JL or the Batman

 

[Jekecy]

Perhaps it's the optimist in me, but the reaction to BvS was so loud and clear I can't expect we'll be getting 100% Snyder with Justice League. Especially since they will have had 1.5 years to adjust accordingly. Granted they were already heavy into pre-production by the time the PR toxicity reached peak levels, but a movie is still solidified in that editing room when it's all said and done.

I would prefer to watch atleast 1 comic book movie every month or two. Plenty of room for multiple shared universe films from DC, Marvel, Fox and Sony.

I absolutely do not think that JL will be as much of Snyder's as say BvS was. I don't believe he is going to be allowed a 3 hour R rated cut in the first place that WB will get cold feet about releasing. I don't believe he'll be allowed to do the more controversial stuff he loves doing, like Supes killing Zod or killing Superman and I believe what they are saying about upping the amount of levity from what it was going to be and giving the film a more hopeful tone than it was originally going to have.

His sensibilities are still going to be there though because he's the director, they aren't going to take the film away from him. I still believe a lot of his misguided choices are going to make it into the film and that he won't be able to bring all of the studio notes together into a decent or coherent film. I am nothing but pessimistic but I hope your optimism wins the day. I'm not wishing for a bad movie, just expecting one.
