I don't think we need to go to that extent. I feel like more people, with certain properties now, expect a more serialized nature to these franchise films (aside from the aforementioned Bond), otherwise it gets regarded as a clear reboot. So one Batman actor has their tenure and the next is a new version rather then just the same one who looks completely different and has a completely different or sporadically same supporting cast.
Is there any official report for this?
I don't see a Green Arrow/Black Canary movie happening unless we get R-rated Green Arrow. So...Longbow Hunters I guess?
I get that she's a critically acclaimed director with Academy nominations, but 'A Wrinkle In Time' lost a lot of money. I'm just implying that BOP eventually would have made it onscreen without Robbie. If you look at their DCEU Wikipedia page they are trying to get all their IP's onscreen.
The first I'm hearing of this rumor, but if it is true and not just the usual unfounded internet BS, then I suppose I should re-think my stance - WB doesn't view these characters as popular enough to ever start in a solo film, but if one of them gets enough popularity in the team movie then they'll consider spinning them out into their own franchise. But largely, BoP is considered one franchise that could spin into other franchises, instead of several franchises spinning into one like we comic fans think of it.
Again, a revision made based on an internet rumor.
Still today's the first I'm hearing of this, where is this rumor coming from?
Aquaman made over a billion dollars, of course their making a Trench movie, there's probably two or three more spin offs planned we don't know about. You make a billion dollars, you milk it and don't stop milking it until it runs dry.
And I disagree, I don't think BoP would have eventually been made otherwise. Maybe if there was a Killing Joke movie and Babs really took off in it or something. But doubtful.
But hey, like I said, it is a dream, I'm not going to say you shouldn't dream. But should we really start wishing movies like this don't get made based solely on our dreams for better versions?
Kind of. Not getting done now still gives it a chance to be done right later (as in a movie that has the BoP not only as main focal point but also a bit more CB accurate). Done now means its done; no chance for an accurate version outside some fan films that seem to be shot down rather fast recently (the good ones at least).
At one point I'll most likely watch the BoP movie. I feel the source material too disrespected to drag myself into the big screen, but probably around the bluray release and since its a DCEU movie I might even get the steelbook since it will look silly to have the cheap plasic case between all the other steelbooks. Either that or I'll completely give up; which would make it a tad bit poetic to have it started with MoS and ended with Supes accompanying Cap Marvel into the school cafeteria. Depends a bit on what tangible release plans DC/WB give out till the BoP BluRay and if its even worth my time following the DCEU anymore. Right now there is only noise with BoP and WW being the only ones finished enough to actually expect arriving. Hell, I'm still not convinced that The Rock will actually play Black Adam regardless of being talked about and agreed upon for years now. Or probably because of that.
I'm drifting. To make it short. I'll watch it later; I'll hope its good. Regardless of that I prefer it had not been done now since than it at least had the chance to be more accurate with its comic.
Yeah New Gods is happening because if Ava, not the property itself. Not saying it wouldn't get it's own movie eventually, just that her choice sped up the process.
Also there are plans for Plastic Man and Booster/Beetle, any property can become huge now. The comic popularity certain characters had or lacked doesn't matter if they're done well on the silver screen

It kind of amazes me how difficult it's been for them to get a Flash movie going.
