DC Studios THREAD - GunnVerse Begins - The Penguin out 9/19 then every Sunday on MAX

[paulwest1985]

Eh, no Afflek no batman for me.

 

[raider5]

I’m actually happy no Ben Affleck. I really enjoyed his performances, but I never wanted an older Batman to be one of the founding members of JL.

 

[blastercombo]

Eh, same DCEU no batman for me.

Fixed

 

[rfx45]

Another rumor I saw floating around was Hush as the main.....Antagonizing Bruce Wayne while Penguin is focusing on Batman....

Grain of salt of course.

that will be interesting because an animated adaptation is in the works of Hush too

 

[...So]

.

 

[noblekane]

so the new batman is not part of the dceu?

or is there no more dceu?

 

[rfx45]

i think there is still a dceu for now because Birds of Prey, WW and Aquaman are still active in terms of movies

but they could easily just make them elseworlds like the Joaquins Joker movie and then do a soft reboot

i do believe Reeves' The Batman is still DCEU but its sounding like its a prequel so they need a younger Bruce/Bats, I mean that is also a way to make it a soft reboot a la Bumblebee

DC is still in a wait and see phase probably until they become more consistent with their film quality and box office performance

 

[IATT]

yea.. i think they're going play with it until they get some sort of traction.. like if WW hits.. if shazam hits.. flash

so do a roundabout build and then act like the other stuff didnt happen.. like pretty much what they did in aquaman for the most part

 

[...So]

.

 

[Master Zik]

Good. On the right track.

Now make better movies.

May be some hope where DC can turn the corner and make a movie as good as Iron Man or Winter Soldier

[raider5]

I know most of you guys aren’t excited for Shazam, but everything I’ve seen always gets a good chuckle out of me

Looks like a fun movie. And I heard on Collider that the movie cost about $80-90 Million to make, so hopefully it’s a good movie and they can get a decent return and can start a good run of movies...

 

[lamekilla]

90 mil for a character that can fly in 2019 is somewhat concerning. Ant-man is the lowest costing MCU film and that film cost $130 mil. Granted Paul Rudd and Michael Douglass cost more than Zach Levi and Mark Strong but I’m really curious as to what type of action set pieces could be in there. Rumor has it that the family is supposed to appear

 

[mastamind033]

I like the Shazam trailer and I like Zach but the fake muscle suit is just so goofy, not sure I’ll be able to overlook it.

 

[everysingletime]

90 mil sounds about right. Shazam seems more of a comedy with minor action and I'm fine with that.

 

[tego calderon el abayarde]

The suit looks a little goofy but the target audience is little kids plus isn't his appearance supposed to be what Billy Batson thinks the ideal superhero looks like?

 

[tay1]

Im definitely not going to see Shazam in theatres.

 

[MarvelSux]

zod and supes

 

[blastercombo]

Zero interest in Shazam

 

[...So]

.

 

[raider5]

DC gonna make their best movies without Superman or Batman

 

[IATT]

 

[kungfu koala]

Ok. That Shazam trailer got me pumped.
Still ain't sold yet, but it's much easier if you look past that costume.

the Macro scenes in Ant Man are not cheap to make... Not sure why you picked that movie when it's CGI heavy as well...
I'm down to watch Shazam tho, should be a fun movie...

Because it’s the lowest costing MCU film. Even with scenes that captivating in a post Avengers 2 world where Marvel’s brand was on fire the film did 500 mil....
