But it was a hit with both fans and critics. DC's nuCU can't survive on bad movies. The Batman wasn't the best Batman movie either, but it got a solid reaction from fans and critics too, which makes it worth a sequel despite not completely dominating pop culture like Nolan's first 2 Batmans.
May I introduce you to the Board of Directors?
Now Zaslov is likely a member of it, but unless he owns the majority of shares of the company, there_is_always_a_bigger_fish.gif. To put it in terms you might understand, just because Lucius Fox may be the President of Wayne Enterprises, doesn't mean Bruce can't fire him if he chooses to.
Todd Phillips made a billion dollar movie out of the joker. It would had been way smater to put him in charge instead of a hack like James Gunn. Gunn's ego just won't allow him to say no to projects because he think he can write any character.
Can Dc be sold some to someone who likes actual DC lore? Give Bruce Timm full reign and stick to animation and make money from the merchandise of that and promote more Arkham games.

He aint getting fired, pedos are a protected class in Hollywood.
He was being an edgelord, except he was pushing 40 when he said that. Not exactly a kid.
He dated one of my friends in the early 2000s and the appeal was obviously because she as asian and just barely legal. The second she wanted a commitment he bailed.

Probably within 5 years, even though the films will probably be decent. I feel like the DC brand is so poisoned at this point there's no saving it. Every film going forward is going to bomb outside of movies with the word 'Batman' in the title. And even those won't do what they're hoping.
>Probably within 5 years, even though the films will probably be decent.
He won't last that long. WB is known the be hyper reactionary to competition and box office numbers. Pic related is WB's future and they are pro Snyderverse.

Were no depress dark & gritty shit , Nolan Batman was successful because it was a self contained movies like The Joker
Snyder verse commit the error to put
All DC universe in the depress, dark shitty world like Batman, bad casting like Ezra , an Marvel with their colorfully, happy universe destroy DC up to its ass
James Gunn knows this, his Suicide Squad movie flop hard, but he corrects it with the Peace maker series , his first choice meh, another fricking Batman movie , the authority?, dunno ,
What DC needs is color, fun, real male ,sexy females, classic good vs evil fun, nothing else

Holy fricking ESL Batman!
That's sort of my point. Both are absolutely awful, but comparatively MK is clearly a success from management's standpoint. Flash is a name. DC is a name. Certainly more than MK. And yet, here we are.
Zas entered into securities fraud. The films as the “reset” are just shit already made, he annouced the timeline for investors. Gunn is being canned after 1 film. Everything upcoming is set to have medicore or loss returns. Stamp it. Zaslov sells everything but Batman,Joker etc to finance HP and LOTR
I give a year or 2. The problem with Gunn is that he's too far up his own ass to know that he's not the right man for the job but his ego won't let him say no.
I think it had more to do with the first one being terrible and the second one having an R rating. Godzilla vs Kong Fast and Furious 9 400 and 700 million worldwide and over 100 million domestic. Hell, it didn't even beat the conjuring worldwide, which also had an R rating but only a 40 million dollar budget. Also didn't help it was released the same day on HBO max.
Middle of a pandemic and released simultaneously on streaming. Those numbers probably don't worry wb too much (though I doubt they're super thrilled - it did get critical acclaim though which I think made them more happy with it).
However, the subsequent flop of Black Adam, Shazam 2 and now The Flash will really be making Zaslav regret putting Gunn in charge.
Why? He's their golden goose, and they literally had Ezra Miller put a baby in a microwave.
>He's their golden goose
Suicide Squad was a huge flop.
But it was a hit with both fans and critics. DC's nuCU can't survive on bad movies. The Batman wasn't the best Batman movie either, but it got a solid reaction from fans and critics too, which makes it worth a sequel despite not completely dominating pop culture like Nolan's first 2 Batmans.
didnt it make the same amount as the abortion that came out with the same name a year prior. that's impressive when your branding is aids poisoned
David Zaslav's head is on the chopping block, not really James, not until his Superman movie flops at least.
Superman can't flop.
That kind of attitude is what resulted in The Flash. If James retains his creative freedom after The Flash bombs maybe it'll be decent but who knows.
He’s flopped three times
>David Zaslav's head is on the chopping block
He is the boss. Nobody is above him.
The Warner Bros. shareholders are the boss technically.

DC is dead; bury it. Consider this mercy.
How's that daughter doing? You enjoy Father's Day?
Crazy how Zaslav’s first choice was Todd Philips. Remember kids, DC was is meant to be dark.
Zaslav was relegated to playing second fiddle too early
Todd Phillips made a billion dollar movie out of the joker. It would had been way smater to put him in charge instead of a hack like James Gunn. Gunn's ego just won't allow him to say no to projects because he think he can write any character.

>stick to animation
Have you seen the last few years of DC animation? Used to be great, but now it's unwatchable.

He aint getting fired, pedos are a protected class in Hollywood.
i just thought the pedo stuff was him being a Gen-X edgelord but then I found out he wanted to do an R-rated Power Pack movie
He was being an edgelord, except he was pushing 40 when he said that. Not exactly a kid.
He dated one of my friends in the early 2000s and the appeal was obviously because she as asian and just barely legal. The second she wanted a commitment he bailed.
He looks really hot here
they already know hiring him was a massive frick up
You literally have the brain of a small child.
>hire new boss

Yeah, that how it works. It happened before in WB and it happened just some months ago with Disney.
If the shareholders say he is out, he is out.
And that's why Warner is a total mess.

MK was successful due to its name, the film itself was pretty shit.
That's sort of my point. Both are absolutely awful, but comparatively MK is clearly a success from management's standpoint. Flash is a name. DC is a name. Certainly more than MK. And yet, here we are.

trust the process
No time soon. It will be incredibly embarrassing if wb fire him so soon after he was hired to be their saviour from a slew of previous embarrassments
He earned those kids
I give a year or 2. The problem with Gunn is that he's too far up his own ass to know that he's not the right man for the job but his ego won't let him say no.
Idk what the hell WB execs were thinking considering how Gunns first DC film went
Suicide Squad 1
> budget - $175 million
> box office - $747 million
Suicide Squad 2
> budget - $185 million
> box office - $168 million
To be fair, it was in the middle of the pandemic
True, but in the US 22 other movies made more at the box office that same year. 24 movies if you look at worldwide box office
I think it had more to do with the first one being terrible and the second one having an R rating. Godzilla vs Kong Fast and Furious 9 400 and 700 million worldwide and over 100 million domestic. Hell, it didn't even beat the conjuring worldwide, which also had an R rating but only a 40 million dollar budget. Also didn't help it was released the same day on HBO max.
Check their Cinemascores. You'll be surprised.
sorry meant to reply to a different post

The day after his dick fricks up.
No Cavill no movie ticket.
When his shitty superman movie bombs
>how soon will fire?
which fricking time, anon?
He's death to movie franchises.
The literal Woody Allen of Hollyweird.
The Bryan singer of mutated movies.
They stupidly hired Snyder and kept him making DC for way way too long. History repeats itself.
There have been 15 DC movies since Batman vs Superman
15!
If you are still blaming a movie from 2016, for irreparably damaging a brand, then I truly don’t think you deserve to live.
Obsessed
he has domestic abuse face
Dude is like the end boss funko pop collector
