Yeh, they would explore multiple characters.

Yeah, because they did such a good job of that in Suicide Squad. They did marginally better in Justice League, but by then they had already had solid introductions of the big 3 and a little of The Flash (at least of Flash in action).

BOP is going to introduce a bunch of characters, but you know they will be focusing mostly on Harley, because she's the biggest character in the movie. They may give smaller, equal amounts of time to Dinah and Helena, but everyone else will probably have the amount of character development that Killer Croc did in Suicide Squad.

And then you've got Cass as the Macguffin...

Buzz in China is pretty strong.

Didn't say they would do it well.

Damn, I didn't know Cathy Yan and Christina Hixson changed their names to David Ayer and Zack Snyder!

This thread is gonna eat so much crow when the movie comes out

So two movies that had famously hellish behind the scenes drama and last minute rewrites, reshoots and re-edits that drastically changed the intended final product? I'm not worried.

At this point, I think we can stop worrying. It's going to be a hit. The DCEU will continue.

The only remaining question is just how BIG of a hit will it be? It's up against some potentially strong competition that could take a bite out of its profits. Only time will tell.

I would rather it be loved by fans/critics and have a moderate box office than be a critical flop and make a lot of money like Suicide Squad. Aquaman could restore a lot of people’s faith in the DCEU and prove that things may finally be on the right track. Though it had a huge box office haul, Suicide Squad did a lot of damage to the reputation of the DCEU and caused long term damage.

Exactly. I think WB feels the same way. I think they care a lot more about this films reception. I don't think anyone is thinking it needs to make a billion to be successful or whatever.

[Lightning Rider]

I think we'll get a good reception.

Aquaman: Early reviews gush that it's a 'big, fun, wild ride'

Did SS really do that much damage to DCEU's rep? It's still getting a sequel, still making Harley Quinn the focal point of the DCEU(I really don't understand the reasoning), talks of a Deadshot spinoff, talks of a Harley/Joker spinoff, and not to mention the boatload of money it made in spite of the bad reviews. FYI this film is not my favorite but man it still made money even with the critics savaging this movie.

If it did so much damage none of the above should be happening but it is or might.

[Frontier]

I agree that right now what's important for WB is getting a DC movie out there with a positive reception and that, with that in mind, will do a moderate to solid box office.
