Maybe WB will fall so hard that they'll sell the DC rights to someone else
paramount would be great
>Sonic vs Flash crossover
Imagine
>paramount would be great
>you could not live with your own failure
two things
Dan Lin rejected the offer
The Rock ruined Black Adam character and his BIG plan was Superman vs Adam
Not even just WW3 , just Superman vs Adam with a hidden villain so they join forces at the..just like Black Adam , again.
Why was he so obsessed with Superman when Shazam (his rival) was there?
Rock was thinking with WWE logic. He wanted to advance his own status by scoring a big win against the top guy. He thought that if he faces Shazam he'll be forced to job to him and will end up looking too weak to go further. Pure wrassling logic.
Zachary Levi's Shazam is absolutely pathetic. Rock wasn't wrong there.
That's irrelevant.
Black Adam was literally created for Shazam to beat his ass. He has no other purpose, no other function.
If rock didn't want to go down on his back for Levi, middle of the ring 1-2-3, he shouldn't have accepted the role to begin with. Once he accepted it he accepted the booking.
>He has no other purpose, no other function.
So have you not read any JSA comics? He was basically a JSA satellite character back then. which is when the movie plans started.
>look what they need to simulate even a Fraction of our power, William
So Daredevil also shouldn't ever wrestle with Kingpin?
Also I don't understand complaint. At first all of you "Batman vs Superman should take 6 million movies apart not 1" but then "why Black Adam doesn't wrestle with Captain Marvel immedietally mommmy whaaaaaaaa"
>So Daredevil also shouldn't ever wrestle with Kingpin?
Kingpin is not the protagonist of his own movie in this example you gave
>Kingpin is not the protagonist of his own movie
yet
That would be better than this movie, it would be what young people say "kino"
>Batman vs Superman should take 6 million movies apart not 1
yes wb should have one batfleck movie before bvs
>why Black Adam doesn't wrestle with Captain Marvel immedietally mommmy whaaaaaaaa"
and look what we've got bunch of OCs riding dragon shouldve been shazam vs black adam on second movie
>yes wb should have one batfleck movie before bvs
Batfleck movie was planned after and would be interesting that way + Snyder KNEW WB is too moronic and volatile to make any long standing plans, just listen to the recent GOYer interview https://youtu.be/BVW8rSveWVU?t=1894
>and look what we've got bunch of OCs riding dragon shouldve been shazam vs black adam on second movie
they clearly should have Dr Mind or whatever his name
was gonna school you on dates but a) 52 really was that long ago and b) that means this would have been what New Line sent over to him as flavor to go with the script, tho the original was written without Johns' involvement and nothing like the comics either, by the following year it had been rewritten that way due to notes (WB subsequently passed)

Rock didn't kill DCEU, but Rock sure as frick killed both Black Adam and Shazam.
Gunn's the one who's going to kill DCEU. That guy has demonstrated no ability to understand characters that aren't Z-list jokes.
read some superman legacy leaks on Cinemaphile dont know if true or no, its gonna be black adam all over again superman went to to fictional middle east country
Not a single Cinemaphile leak has ever been legit. If it had the Authority in it then you know it was fake.
Dwayne actively destroyed the few movie plans that could have made bank with his egotistical Black Adam wank
And what movie plans were those?
Why was it fine for a Samoan to play a Middle-Eastern character?
>Destabilizes not one but two films because he doesn't want to be any kind of humble or team player
>For an objectively bad idea in an attempt to get a D-List VILLAIN as the focus of the Universe
>Didn't even have the balls to make the conceit of the movie in that he's at the very least a brutal anti-hero
The logic is at the very least the Rock was a big dumb idiot who drew attention to himself, gassed up the movie, so when it flopped it's easy to see why people would atleast believe this movie flopping killed the DCEU and he's very much the one who made this movie terrible.
He's Half Black too, and Rock obviously thinks he's ethnically ambiguous enough to play literally anything besides maybe like a Chinese guy....I don't know though he might think "eh give me a fu manchu and say I'm like from the Mongoly parts"
>I don’t follow the logic here.
There is no logic. DCUcks only shill Gunn because he's the head of the DCU. The moment he fails and Warner dumps him they'll throw him under the bus too. They're not loyal to art and creativity, they're loyal to the brand. DCU could literally be gay porn and they'd still shill it.
I mean how many people were against the Rock before he was removed? Remember all the "litty" and "the hierarchy has changed" comments? Where are the Rock's fans now?
>I mean how many people were against the Rock before he was removed?
Can't speak for anyone else, but I had zero faith in him. The only role he was ever remotely good in was Maui in Moana, and the character's animation played a significant part. The Rock just plain sucks as an actor, because he doesn't play roles - he plays himself. Again, Maui being the exception.
This absolutely 41%ing the gunntroonps . The fact that Black Adam is the ONLY DCEU movie to have box office going UP instead of lower. No doubt that little bit of The Flash rise is also due to some going to see it to support Shannon, Traue (and Keaton, lmao)
What is absolutely moronic is the fact that they still could allow "esleworld" Superman with Henry running in parallel and by non-WB companies like Joker. But of course jimmy wouldn't want for his slop to look even worse in comparison. It is obvious he has deep seethe over men that actually look and act like men.
>This absolutely 41%ing the gunntroonps
rent free
WB deserves this.
Ok, Groomer
>including Christopher Nolan
They dodged a bullet, there.
