WB & DC Meet For A Summit

[Showtime]

Superman Returns Sequel, Superman Reboot, or no Superman at all, this is a really refreshing and positive step for WB/DC to take. They really need to come out of that room sweat and exhausted from throwing around ideas.

 

[FlawlessVictory]

Haha! I can just see it, "Jack Black as Wally West!"

LOL, yup. You do know Jack Black was seriously attached to GL at one time right?

 

[Showtime]

I just said it was interesting Showtime, not that it meant they won't make it.

I guess I wasn't interested.

Damn double posts. The Hype is certainly taking a big dump today.

Blame it on the Batfans.

I agree but I can't give them too much credit. They still didn't realize what they had on their own. It took Marvel Studios kicking ass with Iron Man for WB to seriously open up their eyes. But, whatever the reason, it is nice to hear there is movement.

 

[Showtime]

Well we don't know if that is the case, this could have been planned for a long time, unless I missed something about it in the article pertaining to your theory.

 

[I Am The Knight]

It could all be PR stuff. Who knows. I'm praying for actual movement on DC films though. It's about time dammitt!!

I'm at a lost for words

Nah, you're right, it's just a theory. But the timing seems pretty convenient. Then again, JLA was planned before the success of IM and perhaps this meeting is to address the supposed collapse of the JLA film and how to move forward with the solo characters. I'm sure all that will be thrown around.

I"m glad that someone at least told him that folks were mad that he might play GL because that might have turned me into a Marvel fan...Yeah...I think it would have done that.

I wonder what goof wrote a GL script for him. At least Black acknowledged that people did not wanna see him in the role.

 

[bunk]

I just hope they make good choices as far as talent and creative teams. Also, they should be shooting for a more interwoven universe like Marvel.

 

[Superman-Prime]

I want the sequel of Superman Returns...

 

[charl_huntress]

I want the sequel of Superman Returns...

Looks like you'll get it...at least from appearances

 

[watchmen623]

This is only 10 years too late. Still, they gotta start somewhere.

 

[Superark]

Well it is nice to know that they seemingly want to make the best of their DC characters.

Gosling for Aquaman!

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Hopefully we well get Flash and GL (white or black version) movies some time before I die, hopefully of old age. I also would like said movie's to have action scenes in them.

 

[Superark]

If they do Flash, I'd like to see the Barry Allen

GL, you gotta go with Hal Jordan

 

[TheComicbookKid]

Just say something already. We still don't actually know anything about where they are with GL, Superman, or Shazam. Dobkins said Flash hasn't even started to be written yet, jeez. And Segal said they are waiting for August to get back to them for another draft. Did Guggenheim turn in the first draft of GL or not?

I guess I wasn't interested.

I only mention it because they don't make any mention of MOS, not only because its supposedly going to start filming next year, but its also one of the only two established franchises WB has right now, and it doesn't mention MOS at all.

MOS isn't mentioned because the article is about the problem that at WB they don't know how to use their franchises.
It's clear that Superman is part of their strategy...

I guess you can look at it two ways.

1. The article doesn't mention it because the WB doesn't want people to think MOS is part of the problem. No more bad publicity if an announcement is coming.

2. The WB still hasn't finalized itself about MOS and is waiting til the last second like JL.

Don't you need more than one movie to be a franchise. Really, Batman is the only thing they got. They better not do anything in this meeting to annoy Bale or Nolan.

Two good points, expecially because IMO we are still speculating that the SR's box office was the worst possible. There is even the possibility that someone at WB think that it was at least a decent result.

There isn't any confirmation that the MOS can't be a great success like TDK.
We are speculating it only because this forum there are people that criticize the movie. But TIH has recently showed that a united fanbase means nothing for the success of a movie.

You get a bunch of morons in a room and the only idea's they are going to be throwing around is moron ideas. The only hope is the DC team who can tell them how vital it is to stick with the source material.
