DC/WB Films/Worlds (No Spoilers)

I think I recall Henry saying he saw eye to eye with Joss Whedon on Superman better than anyone else. They let him do his thing to the very detriment of the other characters.

and that's why Whedon was canned and that's why we aren't going to see a sequel to JL because including this version of superman means all the other characters look useless
Even the MCU doesn't make this mistake but DC still seems to not know how to reign in what is good and what is bad

Cavill having no problem with it is probably a sign he didn't necessarily like MOS/BVS reception and wanted his character to look good more than anything else

Looks like Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler.

They canned Whedon because it was a **** movie, and was a **** movie before Superman turned up. If the movie was of MCU quality, Superman's power level wouldn't have negatively impacted it.

Nobody on this planet except some fanboys on the internet believes Aquaman poses any sort of challenge to Superman, so it's not detrimental to him that Superman is more powerful and will not play a part in how his movie is received. That movie will succeed if it's good, but we cannot blame Superman if the film sucks.

I take it as an half confirmation of the rumor that Joker's real name will be "Arthur Fleck" aka A.Fleck

And it was a **** movie before Whedon even got there. I'm not sure what he could have done with that mess.

Well, you're definitely not wrong here. If they fired him for it, doesn't mean they were right to do so...

This thread title is funny.

Seems like a tasteless joke to make at the expense of someone who is trying to work through some personal issues.

So now that the Joker Origin movie has started filming we can add that to the list of movies that have a good chance of movies being in theaters sometime soon.
Usually when a movie starts filming, the studio goes through with it and releases it. There are exceptions, but those are rather rare.
Anyway, looks like almost certain we will get Aquaman, Shazam, Wonder Woman 1984 and Joker Origin, now that all four have started filming.

I really hope DC doesn't try to bring over whatever origin story/name for the Joker after the movie comes out.

This thread title is funny.

It might be overly long, but I prefer it to DCEU, which is an abbreiviation I find more than irritating and I never understood what it meant and I don't know why people still use it when it was never given official status.

Henry Cavill will be a loss to the franchise. I can only speak for my own opinion but I enjoyed his version of Superman. Representing "hope" doesn't mean Superman has to be a ray of sunshine, just that he's faced tragedy and continues to have an optimistic outlook for the future and the role he's to play in it. He seemed to have finally become the more jovial character people wanted at the end of Justice League when he was racing Barry. Still, this entire DC Extended Universe is a hot mess. Individual movies might be good but they're completely failing to interconnect it properly, largely because they're in such a rush to catch up with Marvel. They aren't going to catch up, they may as well just take their time at this point and get it right.

I'm still looking forward to Aquaman, Shazam and Wonder Woman '86 but not to see how they interconnect. I want them to stand on their own so that I'm not bogged down in the mess surrounding this franchise as a whole.

And I have no interest in a Joker movie. I'm surprised some people do. His origins and the mysteries they wreak have always been a very appealing, enigmatic part of his character. I don't see a reason to change that now.

Oh no. I meant because this thread was titled "Course Correction" and then DC's movies went off the rails by losing Cavill shorty thereafter.

With the DCEU it does seem every regime pays for their predecessors mistakes.

Unless getting rid of Cavill is the course correction. I could see where some execs at Warner Bros. Brands might think the problem with the movies was Cavill all along and so steering away from him would be a course correction.
