It depends on how much you care about continuity. Arrow/The Flash do have cross-over episodes but not sure if you need to watch Arrow (outside of those cross-over episodes) to get what's going on? If you want, you can start with the episodes of Arrow where Barry Allen is introduced? I don't know, I can't imagine not going in order of the content being released. Then again, I tend to consume all content I can about each world I'm invested in.

I dont watch Arrow and understand Flash fine.

Remember when Sony was on top in 2012? lol

Are you trying to be sarcastic? Look at Warner's line this year and in the next few years. 2015 was the first year in I don't even know how many when they weren't either no. 1 or no. 2.

Why should they hire you?  Pitch me!

 

I will make the biggest, the best, the most incredible action adventure film of all time. A show-stopping, pulse pounding epic the likes of which the world has never, sure to capture the imaginations of every living object on this planet. It's Seven Samurai meets Independence Day meets Gladiator starring pop cultures most popular and beloved superheros. Every box office record known to man will fall to unimaginably rousing marketing plan and all-time glowing critic reviews. The actors will remain as is, though Cavill will get a tan, hair plugs, and smile more. 

 

A solo Batman prequel, simply titled "THE BATMAN"would debut in July, 2018 - 10 years after TDK. Prime Batman accepts the badass partner Robin to be his side kick while battling the sinister Joker, only for him to be murdered by the Joker in the end.

 

JUSTICE LEAGUE would open on December 13TH, 2018.

 

Spoiler

 

BRUCE WAYNE, leery of Lex Luthor's foreboding warning that the bell has been rung, begins to assemble the Justice League, tracking down Aquaman, Flash, and Cyborg, along with the help of Diane Prince and Alfred. Though they are all skeptical, Wayne arranged a form of communication. Meanwhile, Wayne is fighting a battle on another front - the return of mega enemy THE JOKER, a Zodiac-esque murderer and thief with a sadist sense of humor. Joker gets extra personal with the Batman, who is once again famous due to BVS events. Joker taunts Bats over the death of Robin. Flashbacks haunt Wayne and reveal the bond he and Robin shared. Wayne has never been able to avenge Robin's murder at the Jokers hands.

 

Kal-el, meanwhile, has survived the Doomsday attack, but barely. Kal-el is in hiding, slowing wandering the world helping people while he fully recuperates. Diana tracks him down, but Clark is convinced JL have the advantage as long as people think he is out for the count. She knows there is something more. The world thinking he is dead gives Clark the opportunity to live a normal life.

 

Meanwhile, Lois Lane is still mourning Clark. Clark stalks her somewhat, but knows he cannot return just yet. Both are hurting. Obsesses over a message Luthor left behind at the kryptonion site. A meeting with Batman prompts her to think this is the "bell rung". With help from her buddy general Swanwick, the signal is traced to a distant planet known as "Apokolips. Swanwick wonders if these are connected to a series of asteroids which have "changed course" and are heading Earth. They know what this means. Lois relays the info to Batman who shares some info on the Joker. On a hunch, Lois begins to investigate the Joker, learning he is somehow tied to Luthor.

 

All around the world, and especially Metropolis, people grafiti superman "S" symbols around - the sign of Superman is a sign of optimism, of hope. A sign of good ideals. News and other public officials express constant regret at Superman's treatment while he was here on Earth.

 

From prison, Luthor has arranged his El Chapo-esque escape. Luthor knows Batman is the key to the JL and is using Joker to take Batman out. In return, Joker will get power when "he" arrives. Clark misses Lois and Martha, but knows he must remain in hiding.

 

Preliminary alien forces arrive, and unleash an attack on Earth. They are repelled by military forces and assistance from the JL members. They meet frantically, seeking direction from Wayne. Wayne is about to crack when Joker issues a direct challenge.

 

Meanwhile, Clark feels the alien attack has forced him to expedite his return. Pulled in different directions, he emotionally reunited with Martha, who earlier saw has kept in touch with Lois. She tells him to go to her.

 

The world panics, and the JL members are unsure what to do as alien forces again approach. Meanwhile, Batman goes to meet the Joker. Joker unleashes the shocking twist: Robin was hired to Joker just to get close to Batman, only for Joker to murder him and break Batman all over again. Shaken to his core, Batman breaks, collapsing in pain, sadness, and misery. Joker captures him.

 

Superman meets up with Lois. Emotional, triumphant, just as the alien begin their attack - which tells him due meeting with Swanwick. Montage of the world accepting its fate of impending doom when SUPERMAN RETURNS - not only does his return inspire the people of Metropolos, who go batshit crazy to his arrival, but his site on news all over the world motivates the Earths population to awaken from its slumber as the prepare for an assault like never before.

 

It also lifts Batman's spirit. He escapes the Jokers lair in badass fashion. Meanwhile, Superman meets with world leaders to prepare to propel the invaders. Superman tells WW that he isnt sure how they will, who introduces him to the JL. As they plot their attack, Batman crashes the party, conveying the key info needed. Little do they know, the alien forces have an inside man - Lex Luthor. As the battle starts, personalized attacks happen on all members of the JL and their families. Only with the help of the public do they survive, and JL team up to go and KICK ASS, repelling the final alien invasion.

 

At the end, the JL is formed and promises to stand together. Superman and Batman are buddies. A very final scene involves Swanwick being informed "the entire planet of apokolips is on the move".

 

 

Tremendous.

Yep, they were on a hot streak from 2007 to 2013...they've kinda stumbled in the last few years tho. They were 3rd in both 2014 and 2015.

 

A lot of their dominance had to do with the fact that after New Line shuttered they started releasing way more films per year than the other majors.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what Snyder pitched, and he's got a better track record than you.

Yeah I like comics Arrow, but I think I can live with TV Arrow, and I like my continuity pitch perfect haha, episodes order? Is there a full Arrow season before Flash shows up?

Barry Allen/The Flash get a backdoor pilot in the second season of Arrow.

 

Meanwhile, I've been browsing a few of these most famous comic book websites the past day or so and some of the reactions of the people on the opposite side of the movie's critical consensus are truly hilarious. How many of these people won't even bother defending the movie a year from now?

Yeah, because they actually have to bring on original content alongside with their franchises. And from this original content new franchises are born (Lego, The Conjuring). All in all, their way of doing business clearly works. 

All in all I think the next couple of years will become a showdown between WB and Disney, with all the other studios being left in the dust. Universal has some big franchises and it works for them when they are all in one year. 2016 looks dismal for them. Fox is the same, on a smaller level. Paramount and Sony are small players compared to the big two. And Lionsgate is out of the game if they don't discover the next big YA franchise.

Basically WB and Disney are the only ones with a full slate every year.

So you mash up a repeat of the nameless alien mook army from Avengers 1 with a half-baked underdeveloped Joker subplot that doesn't really amount to anything other than a BS twist inserted simply to have a BS twist.

Zero. More likely there won't be any critics left after the extended edition gets released. A much more likely scenario.

I can't wait for the Warner Bros movies next year.

Geostorm, Lego Batman, Kong Skull Island, King Arthur, Wonder Woman, Dunkirk, Jungle Book, and Justice League. Soo hyped!

Studio wars, which is silly. Arguments over which money-grubbing corporations is better at what they do than other money-grubbing corporations.
