DC Extended Universe (POST NO SPOILERS HERE!)

[Confuzzled]

Seems like clickbait. Even if the AT&T deal falls through, DC Comics and Entertainment will be included in the WB package, not separated from it. And if the upcoming DCEU films do well, won't have an impact on the rest of the universe going forward like when Disney purchased Marvel when the MCU was already underway and a few films old.

Kristin Wiig does "friend who is a decent person but can't help but be jealous of those more successful than her" very well, and can also be petty/bitch as all hell. I could see her working as cheetah.

Do we actually know she's supposed to play Cheetah, or could it be someone else? Veronica Cale seems likelier from a more physical perspective.

Fans don't know crap about casting...

Also, I would have loved Elodie Yung as Diana as well.

They always go with the hot flavor of the month while the producer want to go with someone not well known so the role isn't defined by someone's previous work. That's why we get Henry Cavill as Superman
and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman.

Those YouTube videos are idiotic. DC is one of their biggest assets with the money TV, animation, and merchandising brings them. They aren't selling off their cash cow.

...and video games. The Arkham and Injustice games are MASSIVE moneymakers.

What a nonsensical over the top reaction.

Here's what has really happened. Umberto Gonzalez at the Wrap wrote "Time Warner would likely be broken up into parts and sold separately as Warner Bros., HBO and Turner" if the AT&T Time Warner merger falls through in a throwaway paragraph in a column dealing with the Batgirl movie. From there, the usual army of sensationalist click baiters dealing with Comic book movies (Like the mouth breather in the video) have extrapolated wildly to claim that Warner Bros is on the verge of selling DC Comics. Cue army of of clueless fanboys on the internet going "Durr, Durr. Sell them Disney, the we'd see some good movies. Durr".

Now for why it's nonsense: First even Gonzalez's non sourced report only claims that "Warner Bros., HBO and Turner" could be separately. In other words, DC would stay with Warner Bros under whom it is currently under even if Warner Bros is sold of separately. I suspect that confusion between Time Warner (Parent Company) and Warner Bros (Subsidiary brand dealing Film, TV, Video games, etc. under whom DC Entertainment stands) helps this misunderstanding persist.

Secondly, if this was really something that was going to happen, I think a far better source would be found than a throwaway paragraph in a column about a frigging Batgirl movie, from a guy dedicated solely to scoops on CBM's and being very hit and miss about them (To put it generously).

Seriously think about it. The explosive claim that Time Warner is on the verge of selling of it's components would be big news for loads of business media. It would have a large impact globally across numerous media structures and this news would be of a interest to large group, not to a niche internet audience solely interested in Comic book movies. Yet no other credible news source has reported anything like. Nope only a guy known as EL Maybe for his frequent vague and/or wildly inaccurate claims about CBM casting, has reported on it.

If this were real it would be a major scoop on it's own and would have to be reported on separately by multiple credible news orgs. Not solely (But I repeat myself) in a a throwaway paragraph in a column dealing with the low priority news about a Batgirl movie. Seriously, check it out. All the wild click bait accounts have been generated singularly from this one Umberto Gonzalez column. Even he probably doesn't realize the shower of misinformation that clickbaiters have manufactured from his column, as he seems to be preoccupied with hyping his Cheetah casting news and not something that would be far bigger news, i.e Time Warner being broken up (If it were real of course ).

I swear comic book fans have to be the most gullible and ill informed people alive. The clickbaiters have found their perfect target audience anyway.

Media convergence needs to freaking stop

[Tec15]

Here's El Maybe's column which has generated this much drama. Read it and decide if this means that Disney is close to buying DC comics (As the dumbest fanboys are now proclaiming in response to all the click bait).

John talks about all this.

They always go with the hot flavor of the month...

Or the hot flavour of five years go, or two decades ago...

1000% agreement.

She looks perfect for that from the few pictures I saw; would be a waste to get her into the franchise and cast her for something else:




But I guess any questions regarding this will be answered with that:

Thanks for the update

A Flash movie got a new director... its like saying I saw a cop in a donut shop. Have they already build in a swing door on the Flash directors office or is that planned for the next change?

[Osiris-Rex]

Or the hot flavour of five years go, or two decades ago...

Or in the case of a female character their own masturbatory fantasy. Maybe even some of the male characters.

So he isn't co-directing anymore?

Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley are co-directing.
