The Warner Bros. Thread | Will NOT merge with Paramount...capitalism is still terrible

[Macleod]

Perhaps Z. Snyder really did predict the future??  Notice how the actors have basically left/been kicked out/made persona non grata in the order presented here, from left to right??  Weird, huh? 😁😁   I expect formal announcements this week or by January on Gadot and Momoa...

Who are "all the people" saying those things? She is absolutely being treated fairly, no differently than Snyder post BvS. Despite the complete all around disaster that was WW84, Patty Jenkins was given the opportunity to present her vision for WW3, no? I didn't dispute that it was a real dynamic. I am pointing out that there is ample reason to believe it doesn't apply here. She made an atrocious previous product. They're going to be more careful next time. If she presented more crap, she's out, just like Snyder. 

It wasn't a disaster, It was a movie that got sacrificed for HBOmax and still managed to gain 169.6M worldwide 
during the pandemic,
even 1M more than James Gunn's The Suicide Squad!
If you call WW84 a disaster then by your own standards James Gunn's movie is a disaster as well and even more so since 
it was in theaters almost one year later, when the pandemic really started to wear off worldwide.
So please...

They couldn't as they had both Aquaman and Shazam! in production so couldn't exactly cancel them plus the solo films were very successful.

 

The focus on solo films has brought them more success then the team ups.

I wonder if they will give a different take on Batman so we can have a distinct version from The Batman universe.

Every day my admiration of James Gunn grows even more. Give me all the DC and Marvel films, James.

This is basically Gunn and Safran saying that nothing is going to deter them or change their minds moving forward.

I really don’t want two Batmen. I just hope that Reeves understand that his Gotham being part of a larger universe is actually a good thing.

[ZattMurdock]

Also, if I had Gunn’s powers, I’d straight out cancel Joker 2. Fuck that noise. Unpopular but it would be the right move.

Glad to hear the TSS/Peacemaker stuff isn't true, anyways like someone else on here said,i think it would be best to keep a batman out of the connected universe for the near future, let reeves do his thing and gunn should focus on characters like superman, GL, WW, maybe green arrow, MM and build them up, you can always bring in a batman later on without needing any build up

Batman is a pinnacle of the DC Universe. In any modern incarnation post Crisis he is one of the first - if not the first - to show up. I get what you are saying, but unlike Spider-Man that you can easily bring him later, that’s not the case with Batman. You can take some time to introduce Wonder Woman actually, but Superman and Batman need to be there from almost the start, even more so with the Squad and others surviving the inevitable Crisis. 
 

Reeves doesn’t need his own universe for Batman. It has been done before, it isn’t breaking any new ground whatsoever and it’s just to protect Reeves ego, it isn’t really in service of the actual story. Tim Burton has done it before. Christopher Nolan has done it before. Reeves Batman isn’t even really that much realistic, he and his Gotham has literally more in common with MCU’s Daredevil than either Burton’s or Nolan’s take on the character.

 

If Reeves can’t play ball, he should leave too. It doesn’t make any sense whatsoever that he wouldn’t play ball though. So I hope he stays and leave his ego aside for this.

Most of what they're planning is still in early development and won't be fully realized until at least four or five years from now. Let Reeves do what he wants with Batman.
