He’s writing it too.

I just have no excitement for DC anymore. I’m fine with Henry not coming back. But the back and forth about it has been annoying. That combined with Batgirl and likely losing other properties that I enjoyed like Shazam…I just don’t care.

I’m good with The Batman though.

I'm not sorry to see Cavill go, but that's a nicely worded statement in what are obviously embarrassing circumstances.

Forgot about Shazam ..the trailer for that did nothing for me .I guess as was no crossover of others concivelably they could add that to a new DCU ..

 

[Gee]

Is the Constantine sequel still in the pipeline or is Gunn gonna ****can it too?

Keanu will come back as a more comic accurate Constantine.

Shazam! 2 has probably the biggest crossover of any DCEU film so far.

Secret supporting character big.

Well okay fine, then. I trust his acting abilities enough to give us a credible accent.

Sad that Henry is gone, they wasted a potentially great and inspiring Superman. As much as the only option I agree with is a hard/complete reboot of the DC Universe, I have no interest in a young Superman film, and little patience to invest in starting over. Really, I don't have much of an appetite for DC anymore. I'd say with 90% certainty that they lost this fan, which is horribly sad and makes me angry. Maybe they can sway me down the road, but that is a long road and I remain skeptical if not down right unconvinced. What an utter mess WB has made over the last 10 years.

Sorry about Cavill. Great ambassador for the role and kudos to him being able and willing to address this graciously without slamming the door. But clean slate was the way to go and I'm glad they had the balls and brains to rip off the band-aid.

 

[PepS]

Total reboot seems to be the direction, but I just can't see Gunn letting Robbie and Cena go.

 

[Holy Slapper]

No Henry.

It's like one man screamed in terror/disappointment, in Canadian.

 

[TheScarecrow]

Executive Gunn has to make hard decisions.

 

[Holy Slapper]

Sucks for Cavill though. TheShape is right. As far as public humiliations in Hollywood go, this one's up there. I suspect he'll be in the MCU within 5 years.

Had to be done. Excited for what's to come.

That man was made to be Captain Britain.

 

[Revolverr]

Are you aware that all this has finally seen the light thanks to Black Adam? this movie's performance definitely was the final nail in the coffin, the way Zaslav said NO after seeing the movie getting panned and flopping, he didn't hesitate when checking that Cavill, DJ and company are not worth it Lol

Executive Gunn has to make hard decisions.

In theory, but that doesn't mean he will — not in every instance.

Levy thinks he's safe as well, and he's betting his friendship with Gunn and Safran on it.

 

[Comicbookguy339]

No Henry.

Can't wait to see how Superman starts out...for the 10th time.

Lives, Returns, Man of Steel, DCEU... It's been a fun ride.

I doubt we'll see Shazam again after Fury of the Gods, or at least for a while.

No different to Batman.

Superman has had 4 Reeves films, a Routh film (technically not a reboot) and three Cavill films.

Batman has had Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney, Bale, Affleck and Pattinson.

If we want to count failed attempts, Superman has had Cage but Batman has had a hell of a lot more.

Never forgot Batman Triumphant!

 

[The Caped Knight]

Warner Discovery screwed over Cavill with tremendous disrespect. Shameful

 

[Frodo]

So yeah, all this news is too much to wrap my head around and comment on this time of night in Cali.

I'm comment tomorrow.
Night all!

Cavill was ultimately a victim of being caught in a power struggle between Gunn/Safran and The Rock.
