I'm interested to see how they continue this universe with Shazam, Flash, Aquaman, and Wonderwoman movies all still coming. But no Superman or Batman.

Remarkableriots Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Quote The word has been out that Warner Bros. has been mulling a completely different direction with its Superman canon, even considering casting Michael B. Jordan in the role down the road. https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/warner-bros-not-developing-superman-movies-with-henry-cavill-as-priority-shifts-to-supergirl/ar-BBNeppV?ocid=AMZN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will probably focus on individual films rather than trying to emulate Marvel's shared Universe approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 So they've lost their Superman, they've maybe lost their Batman, and we're about to see the stand alone Aquaman tank (we all agree on that, right?). There shouldn't be anything left of the DCU. Reboot it all, but make another Wonder Woman or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shazam and Black Adam are both happening as well and a Green Lantern film is pretty far along in development too as is the Joe Mangenello Deathstroke movie. Oh and Margot Robbie's Harley standalone is still happening as far as I know. Maybe all these films will not emphasize the shared Universe as much, but they are still happening.

Yes, these movies are happening, but the connectedness of them is close to zero. The MCU cribbing is over for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Racists can't be having a black Superman. It'd totes be like having Nick Cage play Martin Luther King Jr. in a movie. Or so I'm led to believe from somebody in a comments section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most rational people would have been happy with Idris Elba as 007. Also I think most rational people would love for Marvel to develop Miles Morales in the MCU. However just coming out of nowhere and race flipping Superman seems a bit out of left field. That casting seems to be a 'look at what we did' kind of move.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I just couldn't give less of a shit about what color a character is, unless their race or ethnicity is integral to the character. Now that I've said that, maybe Superman needs to stay white. He's the most milquetoast superhero out there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: No idon't... most people WEREN'T cool with Idris Elba as 007. We had a whole thread on THIS board saying why that wasn't a good choice. Still, I don't see the need for a black Superman unless they're gonna make him the Val-Zod Superman and not Kal-el. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Cavill may not be done... This smack to me of him and his reps trying to get more money out of WB... interesting that these rumors came on the heels of his negotiations to cameo in the Shazam movie falling apart.

SaysWho? Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 It seems like not too long ago where the best superhero movies by far were DC just based on The Dark Knight trilogy alone, and Marvel seemed so far behind with their X-Men 3/Spider-Man 3 step-downs in quality.

TDK trilogy is still the best among all comic book movies. But, yes, the MCU has been far more entertaining than what DC has offered overall.
