Hey Guys,
So, let's talk about DCU, shall we?
What we know so far:
SvB or BvS or MOS2 coming out in 2016
SvB - Superman, Batman, WW, Cyborg (cameo), Lex Luthor, Alfred, and a lot of other characters (Holly Hunter, Callan Mulley and Tao Okamoto - characters not confirmed).
JL movie announced, most likely in 2017 or '18.
9 other films in development - Shazam, Metal Men, 100 Bullets, and Fables
Lot of TV shows - Flash, Gotham, Constantine, Preacher, iZombie and a lot others!
Rumors/Reports:
More films announcements @ SDCC 2014
Questions:
Do you think DC should just focus on TV shows? (They are doing great with Arrow)
Do you want DC to connect everything (like another studio we know)...by everything, I mean movies and tv shows.
Or
Would you prefer DC's approach on encouraging different (and maybe even contradictory) Universes?
As much as I like an interconnected Universe, I think I might like the idea of different universes even better. Sure, it may seem like that it would confuse the general audience, but as long as they have different tones, they will be fine.
Plus, trying to connect everything is even more work to the writers and creative teams behind these shows and movies (Let them focus their attention to writing solid stories, instead of worrying about continuity).
And, I would love love to see the contradictory takes on different characters: Shazam for instance.
We could have a more realistic Shazam (or Cap. Marvel) in MOS universe, while a fun, light and more 'magical' Shazam in another Universe?
Who all (Heroes and Villains) do you want to see in JL movies?
Apart from WW, which DC heroes deserve a movie the most, and how would you like them to develop it? Would you want a realistic (and maybe darker) take? Or try to keep the more fantastical elements of each character?
