Can anyone at WB pick a plan and stick to it?
DC can't even keep their comics or plans consistent. It's little wonder they're incompetent at making movies too. Which is why plans are constantly changing. Even worse for them is hiring Ezra Miller & Amber Heard. Now they have nothing but bad press destroying their plans with The Flash to revive the cinematic universe.
And now apparently they're going use Blue Beetle and Black Adam as headliners? good luck with that guys
nah, looks like no one cares about Blue Beetle
Now to be fair nobody has seen anything for Blue Beetle apart from two leaked set photos. Those numbers for Wonder Woman are really concerning though
And we don't even have a trailer for Flash yet and the lead actor is currently in an insane asylum and yet it's still higher.
There was a small teaser for Flash, the character has been in other movies and all the news has kept it fresh in peoples mind. Man of Steel 2 is also getting the help of recency bias just because Cavil just came back
think the point is that you'd keep seeing people say no one is gonna watch it when that's clearly not true
Well Black Adam is a failure as of right now & Blue Beetle doesn't even have a well known actor or promises of a cameo from another shit movie character so I wouldn't hold my breath for that to get them anywhere if it does release.
Marvel built the mcu with c-listers like Black Panther, Hulk and Iron Man. Anything possible.
>Hulk and Iron Man
>c-listers
You're stupid.
>build the mcu
>with Black Panther
He didn't come in till Civil War. The THIRD Captain America movie.
Zoomer. Iron Man, Captain America, and the other Phase One characters were absolutely C List. Hulk was their biggest name, but even he didn't touch Spider-Man and X-men in terms of relevance.
>Can anyone at WB pick a plan and stick to it?
99% of this is coming from how their leadership has been fricked up since the 2010s
On top of that whenever a new leader comes in they try to trash anything of the old regime that doesn't work or doesn't "fit the new leader's vision"
You just know down the line they're going to try to do No Way Home except with all the Batmans
This. Bring back Bale, somehow bring in Joaquin Phoenix, and deepfake West Romero and Ledger to try and jam in all the bats and jokers in one project.
The Batman Rises Forever: Dawn of The Dark Knight Returns and Robin

Ftfy
If DC wanted to print money, they would make a movi where Pattinson, Affleck, Keaton, and Bale face off against the Batman Who Keks.
That sounds like it could honestly be pretty good, depending on the cinematic buildup, but the setting would be the hardest part. Gotham is intrinsically tied to how Bru Swain operates as Batman, so putting them in a different version of Gotham would be the same as taking the home advantage away, however it must take place in -a- Gotham
They didn't go all in with the cinematic universe like Marvel did, and it's been biting them in the ass for years now. They've muddied the waters with too many half-assed attempts at a DCEU.
I can't believe anyone in Hollywood still answers their calls.
>DC decides to do their own cinematic universe
>start with an old Batman that already had his Robin die
Why? This feels like the dumbest decision ever. Why not start at the beginning like any logical person would have come up with?
It'd be interesting if they actually took a risk and made it a Titans CU. You see bits and pieces of the League's history through the eyes of their sidekicks and successors. Keep the brand recognition while making something new. I think they recognized the origin fatigue with Spider-Man, but didn't know how to avoid stepping on that rake.
I'd be fine if they just went the Arkham game route. Mature Batman with a Batfamily. We already got rookie Batman in Batman Begins and again in The Batman but they've never done characters like Robin, Nightwing, and Oracle on film.
Forgot about the Schumacher films. Well, they've never done them well.
The last thing we needed was yet another Batman origin story. Batman has such a huge supporting cast that introducing him already established would be the only way to work them all in in live action. You could have a Nightwing he's estranged from, A Jason who is dead and a Damian waiting to be introduced as the new Robin. Of course Snyder fricked it by having only one Robin and it's being Dick that died
Why won't they hard reboot and kill the DCEU?
Because people like Cavill even though his films suck, the Snyder Cut of Justice League made money/got a ton of views for HBO Max, and even if they DID reboot, Reeves and Nolan have basically confirmed that Warner's never going to get a guy who will make a good Batman film that will also play ball with the shared universe stuff and will demand to have free reign to ignore/not have to tie into any shared cinematic universe stuff like building up Justice League.
Trying to copy the MCU is where they went wrong in the first place. Every movie doesn't need to lead into the next one, and you don't have to connect all of them. Continuity between films hasn't helped them. Right now, WB has three people who could play different interpretations of Batman, and the audience would be happy to see them. Why should that be a problem?
>Why should that be a problem?
Brand oversaturation. Confusion on the audiences part. Parents might bring their kid into the bloody r rated batman thinking it's a PG-13 Batman.
yup its ok for character like flash exist in both live action tv series and movie because its different medium but we liteally now got three batman in big screen
>brand oversaturation
how? they don't have to make three times as many movies just because three actors can play the role.
even if they did make more, batman also isn't near the point of saturation. we've seen spider-man on the big screen once per year for the past six years, and people aren't sick of him yet. even if they did decide to put Batman in a movie more often, the brand could probably handle a little bit of that.
>confusion on the audience's part
they know the guy with pointy ears is Batman. the segment of the audience who cares about who's playing Batman also knows too much to be confused by the actor being different.
>bloody r rated batman
has this ever existed in film? I don't think it has. isn't this a made-up problem?
The biggest problem is the people heading the Batman movies don't want to play ball with anyone else. Nolan didn't want to do a DCU movie. Now Reeves doens't want to either and is laying out plans for a Batman universe separate from DC. But DC wants a Batman to show up in other hero's movies, and Affleck is up to it again, seemingly. It turned out people didn't get as excited for Keaton's return as they expected.
It's because Keaton's return meant Afflecks exit. It was surrounded with negativity. It's also that they're using him wrong. If Keaton was back as an old Bruce for a Batman Beyond movie there would be plenty of hype
They're trying to build up to their own Spider-Men thing
>I’m stupid
Cool story, OP.
