DC Extended Universe (POST NO SPOILERS HERE!)

[FlashEarthOne]

Didn't the Flashpoint name get dropped already from the Flash solo movie anyway?

Yes it did. DC seems to be course correcting and it will probably help them financially. Although the die hards fans of the previous incarnation now seem to be disparaging the new direction.

This type of idiots must be saying that about every comic book movie with similar protagonists. It's annoying, but it is what it is.

It is one of the downsides of the internet and youtube.

This is probably going to be the talking point that most people will use who are trying to disparage the movie. I guess we just have to remind them that Black Panther didn’t invent the story concept of siblings fighting for the throne or one character as a rightful ruler of a kingdom. I mean, his name is Arthur! It’s clearly a reference to Camelot. A story slightly older than the Black Panther film.

It is a weak point.

We should probably change this thread title since the official name is Worlds of DC now

It's not. The DC film universe still has no official name.

Good Idea or Bad Idea: What if Warners approached James Gunn to direct a DC property (maybe Suicide Squad)?

He had cosmic ideas beyond GOTG. So how about him working on GLC or LOSH?

DC needs to pick up James Gunn. He's an incredible talent that can help form a section of the DCEU whether its cosmic or whatever. Disney dropping him was a stupid move by them and totally reactionary. This whole situation was politically motivated, there is no way in hell Disney "discovered" the tweets. They were on a public forum and Gunn has apologized for them years ago but it's done now. I want Gunn back at Marvel but I think that ship has sailed. This is a great opportunity for WB/DC.

"is this black panther?" Looks like this is going to be a big struggle for the film. In black panthers shadow.

I had a similar thought when Black Panther came out, I think Disney and DC are in a race to be first right now. By first I mean movies about concepts or characters that are similar so when the next one comes out it will be compared to whoever's movie came out first. The two characters have very similar concepts. Rulers of reclusive nations that are leagues ahead of the world through their tech. Yes they are very different characters but the average movie goer is going to compare the two.

I guess it was inevitable that the GA would start thinking some super hero movies just look the same and are rip-offs of others. Shame.

It is inevitable so that means there will be more pressure on the filmmakers to get these characters right. Sure concepts can be close or share similarities but as long as the characters, set pieces, etc are different and unique I doubt people will complain.

Some updates over the last couple of days:

Birds of Prey will shoot in California and will enjoy substantial tax benefits from the state

WB is rumored to be looking at a "Kristen Stewart type" actress to play Barbara Gordon in the Batgirl film (though no word on whether Babs is Batgirl or Oracle)

Spider-Man: Homecoming's (first) Shocker actor Logan Marshall-Green wants to play Mister Miracle and Ava DuVernay has shown her interest

A Kristen Stewart type? Um, no. Let’s leave twilight in the past where it rightfully belongs.

A Kristin Stewart type doesn't necessarily mean Twilight. She actually is a good actress.

Now that's a bold claim.

[Agent Z]

Now that's a bold claim.

See her performances in The Runaways, Catch That Kid, Panic Room and Adventureland.
