WB is to blame for letting Snyder start JL and film 6 months of it.  It reportedly took them into seeing Snyder's cut to be alarmed because I guess no one read the script or was involved in any serious capacity in ongoing production - even after they shook up the studio and Snyder had given them BvS.  Why?

Sure but they knew who they were working with.  He should have been on a tight leash and they should have had more eyes and hands (competent ones) on the production as it filmed.  

 

Warner Bros. Vice President of Production Jon Berg was on set during most of principle apparently "supervising."  The Hollywood Reporter confirmed this at the time.  So...no excuses, Warner Bros.

lol what? SS just made over $700m, making a sequel to that - from the point of view of the top brass - is a much safer bet than investing hundreds of million in some unproven property.

I dunno, Alice 2 says hi.

I think a Quinn solo will the best bet story and budget wise. No SS, Deadshot etc. That could also lead into GCS in the future if things work well.

I would definitely want to see that.

My hopes for DECU:

1. No more CGI fests - the less CGI the better, look at Nolan's films

2. Get grounded stories

3. Get excellent directors, no more synder and the likes

4. Get excellent villains that are not video game villains

5. Make your films FILMS and VIDEO GAMES. Make them grounded, believable, realistic. Raise the stakes that we can be invested in. 

6. Change Affleck, he looked really un-interested in JL.

7. Don't try to be Marvel. Don't over-do the humor just to be Marvel. You won't and shouldn't.

I think the list of original-/-unproven-material-flops is a lot longer than the list of sequels-to-a-hit-flops. That's what it's all about to the bean counters. Even if SS2 drops, i doubt it will to the extent that they will lose money. Not to forget all the ancillary income that's connected when it comes to franchises like comic books...

Officially under Guardians of the Galaxy's OW number.  Fucking embarrassing.

Nolan didn't have god-like heroes or vilains !

Same with grounded stories, hard to have this when your enemy is Brainiac or Darkseid

It's not even above that.  Guardians did 94.3M, this came in 300k below that even with 3 years worth of inflation.

You mean no more bad CGI fest, Marvel films are, after all, CGI fests, expecially GotG and the upcoming infinity war.

Nolan didn't have Superman. Hard to do grounded and realistic when you have Superman. What would it be about, him rescuing kittens? Him battling criminals? Where are the stakes when you are Superman?
