DC Films The DC Studios News and Discussion Thread

[BobJM]

I actually liked the current one.

Its too bad, in hindsight they failed to launch a successful film for the Flash, Green Lantern and Cyborg.

The new DC intro should be just plain and simple, for a change.

I think that was my issue with it-- "Look at all these characters! We might make a movie you like with them one day"

They highlighted seven JL members. It was their original plan, but of course WB fumbled and didn't stick with their intended road map.

I think they could have edited the intro for other films, and highlighted Harley Quinn, Joker, Black Adam, Dr. Fate, Blue Beetle for their respective movie.

I like the old Marvel logo with the flipping comic book pages. Like in X3 when it was all X-Men related images, that could be something DCU could try to recreate. I think that's what they were going for in their DCEU opening.

I just rewatched and, you're right. I guess the image that always sticks out in my head is the pantheon of characters standing in the void at the end.

The pages flipping is what I'm thinking for the new Dc intro and they could do different version of it everytime there's a new DCU film, though it could be very similar to Marvel.

I think they still use the old Marvel intro style for Sony Marvel movies.

+1 for DC doing the oldschool comic book page flipping for the intro. I always loved that.

Damn, No second chance for Sasha Calle?
Do you think they let her audition for the role, again, if she'd like to?

 

[dhandler01]

I would doubt it.

 

[theastsunnn]

Not her fault because she didn’t get much to do, but I wasn’t exactly blow away by her performance.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

Think I read somewhere that Calle had been informed she wasn't coming back. I thought she did a great job in The Flash with what she was given and I'd certainly have been there if she had come back, but I'll be happy if Gunn goes with blonde haired/blue eyed Kara.

Jeff Sneider says he’s already hearing that the new DC Studios is an absolute mess behind the scenes.

Nothing would surprise me less.

 

[Jack Reacher]

I suspected it would play out like that. James Gunn will be too busy directing Superman Legacy to 'Kevin Feige' the other projects. So everything will get stalled, or pushed off.


Realistically, I think Superman Legacy will do 'okay' box office. WB will panic and push 'Batman: Brave and the Bold' forward will the other DCU projects fall wayside.

Isn't that why Peter Safran is there?

 

[Jack Reacher]

Isn't Safran the numbers/business guy? Not the creative one?

 

[emielaen]

Lol they haven’t made anything yet but it’s obviously a mess bc the guy everyone questions heard it from, the ether?

Thinking it’s a mess bc they have stuff in development in silly. Every studio is a mess if that’s the criteria. Seems like Sneider has no news so he threw the old M word out there.

 

[Venom 1988]

Isn't Safran the numbers/business guy? Not the creative one?

Out of the two yes but he still has plenty of experience as a producer so why would you think everything would get stalled if Gunn gets busy?

If the DCU F's up, I doubt even fans are going to have much patience/hype for yet another attempted universe attempt after that.

Yes, I feel this is make or break as far as a DC shared universe goes. If this falls apart I can see it being standalone Batman, Superman, and maybe Wonder Woman films for the foreseeable future.

How? They havent even begun their first project? And it begins filming soon. How much of a mess can it be?

They havent committed to any dates sans Superman so.....they dont have to change anything

 

[dhandler01]

Jeff Sneider...wasn't he the one who was wrong epically about the strike?

 

[Mani-Man]

Jeff Sneider...wasn't he the one who was wrong epically about the strike?

Yes, but that doesnt matter, least of all to for some reason to "fans".
Same as all these scoopers who have been caught alone 2023 on more lies than truth...doesnt matter the moment they spew the next lie.

Because thats were we are.
And in this case for some reason, the usual suspects of course jump at everything to knock down a universe that hasnt started because for some reason, some "fans" want it to fail just because.

So a guy who has been caught lying makes up stuff, but since it is what some want to hear...of course they leech onto it.

His point was completely misconstrued as well. He was speaking of it in terms that every single studio out there is a mess, making movies is complicated and nothing ever goes even remotely as clean as public statements make it out to be.

He's been on a massive roll recently in regards to scoops. Got a ton of info confirmed in the last few weeks, big info. He was wrong about one thing regarding the strikes but whatever, I don't really remember a single time he's officially put out an exclusive on his newsletter or on a podcast that was just straight up wrong.

Yeah, that rebuttal is exactly what I imagined he'd say if he were to respond to it. He's not wrong, but he knew throwing "mess" out there would get some circulation, so he ain't slick.
