It's good, not amazing. They changed the identity of Jack The Ripper from the original graphic novel. Better than the last few animated movies they've put out. Worth watching but nothing spectacular or requiring a second viewing.Originally Posted by bobbie solo

Phew it's incredible how much shit is flung around the internet when it comes to DC. Apparently Snyder was fired from the movie and did not leave on his own terms. Either way, there's so much stuff going on, opinions, backstabbing and wrong assumptions, it's not even funny anymore. The Nightwing movie's also not happening anytime soon. And now Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker?!
And then there's Marvel with two high profile movies aiming for another highly successfull year. Unbelievable how bad DC is doing right now and very sad. I'd love several projects to happen and to be actually good. But my hopes for Aquaman are considerably low and a new Batman movie no matter how good it is in the end will probably leave a sour taste in my mouth as I really liked what Affleck did with the role.
Behold the morning star
Zack was working on the film till may and then his daughter killed herself.
I refuse to believe someone would use that to hide the fact that he got fired. Which he did not, and is against the rules according to the DGA.
Did wb completely meddle with his movie, yes indeed. Was it known they were shitting their pants because audiences were not on board with what was being produced, of course.
Hence the movie we got( which I enjoyed, minus the obvious botched removal of the stache) is what it is. I think if WB sees enough home media sales of this movie they could release that “snyder cut” every snyder cultist is salivating over.
Also, I know WB owns DC, but can we please stop saying things like “DC doesnt know what they are doing”. DC comics have nothing to do with the production of the movies and their comics are doing just fine, and even out selling the competition.

Is Joss still working on the Batgirl movie?So I take that as a strong maybe considering the state of WB right now.Batgirl[edit]
In March 2017, Joss Whedon was hired to write, direct and produce a Barbara Gordon / Batgirl-centric film.[181] According to Entertainment Weekly, the film will draw inspiration from The New 52 comics by Gail Simone.[182] In April, Whedon stated that he was drawn to the character because of her choice to become a vigilante, even though she did not have a childhood tragedy like Bruce Wayne / Batman had, and that the damaged aspect of the character will be explored in the film.[183] In July, Geoff Johns stated that Whedon will begin production on the film in 2018.[184] At the San Diego Comic-Con, the title was announced to be Batgirl.[156] After varied response to the reshoots and retooling of Justice League by Whedon, his role with Batgirl came into question,[185] which prompted Warner Bros. to make an official announcement that the filmmaker is currently working on the film's script.[186]

Wow. A veteran entertainment reporter is leaving the field, so in his own IDGAF way is releasing a few bombshells, including that Zack Snyder was indeed flat out fired from the DCEU.

Oye vey; from now on (and more than ever) everything wrong with the DCEU will be Zack Snyder's fault. Replacing him on Justice League did so much good after all. *roll eyes*
For the record: I did enjoy Man of Steel and B vs S is getting better with every new viewing.

I know it's a bit weird, but I'm hella pumped for the new anime Batman Ninja in April.

I'm totally aware of DC being very successfull with their main product: selling awesome comics. But the shit show that is going on behind the scenes (not only with DC itself but constributors in the cinematic franchise, Sony and Warner inclueded...) is remarkable.
Here's recent news:
https://batman-news.com/2018/02/22/j...-have-a-story/
Really? Didn't have a story? To be frank, this could apply to every movie they have in their pipeline right now to which production didn't start yet...
In other news the Aquaman movie presumably had a test screening which was rather positive. I'm actually looking forward to this one as Mamoa was a highlight for me in JL despite his "yeah" and "alright" banter. We shall see. I still have faith that there are good movies to be released within the DC cinematic universe.

Whedon didn't have a Wonder Woman story in him either after he hogged the project up a few decades ago, and, well, we see what happened with Black Widow in AOU.
I'm OK with this.

Few decades? *looks at Wikipedia*
Holy shit, it has been a few decades. Woah.Whedon was hired to write and direct a Warner Bros. adaptation of Wonder Woman. However, in February 2007, Whedon announced that he would no longer be involved with the project. "We just saw different movies, and at the price range this kind of movie hangs in, that's never gonna work. Non-sympatico. It happens all the time".[

I think we dont need a batgirl story. They need to release main characters and then put some focus on the secondary characters. And they also need to stop going to gotham, so many great characters they can choose from.
BADGERS
I'm watching Justice League and it's like pulling teeth.

Patty Jenkins just tweeted out confirmation.
FATUM NOS IUNGET
Oh boy...John Campea, the guy who broke the news about Affleck not starring in The Batman, the Gyllenhaal news, etc. (i.e. he's pretty credible) has apparently learned some insanely bad news about WB and DCEU that he knows is '100% true'...and if he were to just out and out say it, people would be 'pissed. we're talking pitchforks in a mob here.'
Article with video of him talking about it.
edit: I'm gonna toss in my prediction. Reeves has walked away and The Batman is just flat out being scrapped altogether.

If Reeves walks, whatever. But I dont think that is going to happen, hopefully. I think the big stink is that Michael Bay, who was rumored to direct the Lobo movie, is going to take over Superman. Oh boy.
Edit: According to this tweet, he is still in it.

Shit guys, we might have Michael Bay directing a Superman movie.

Mel Gibson is going to direct a DC movie.
I'd be fucking furious about that.
Behold the morning star
He was in talks to direct Suicide Squad 2, that didnt go far.
I am eagerly awaiting Aquaman and hoping the positive things said about a test screening are true.
Active Member
I have no clue what the bad news could be in this case. Reeves out? Well, the Batman has faced so many throwbacks people won't go ape shit over this if it were true. A reboot of the DCEU? Many people would love that.
He says it could be next month or even half a year this news is reveleaed so it HAS to be something bigger than one movie, one director or one role.
Either way, looking forward to Aquaman and Wonder Woman 2 either way.

Tommy Wiseau finally got his role as the Joker huh
Behold the morning star
Well, scoopers are trying left and right to find out what Campea knows, so far a well respected dude went to his sources and can say that this has nothing to do with Superman, Reeves, nor a reboot. so we shall see

This could be it.
WB's courtship of MI director, Christopher McQuarrie, could result in them being able to hire Tom Cruise to play Green Lantern.

Second, you’re just baiting fanboys. It gets people talking about Tom Cruise in Green Lantern with nothing to back it up. It’s great for clicks, but you should be providing information, not inflating rumors.

I can't see Tom Cruise as Green Lantern. All I see is..... TOM CRUISE.... DUN-DUN-DUH.... is DUN-DUN and DUH-DUH-DUH and has to DUH-DUH and then BLAH-BLAH and BLAH-BLAH-BLAH, BOO-BAH and BAH-BAH.... TOM CRUISE in BAH-BOO-BLAH-BLAH-DUN-DUN-DUH!!!!!
He's been making nearly the same fucking movie for the past 20 fucking years as there's a rare moment when they're any good like Edge of Tomorrow yet he's playing characters who could be in their 30s yet he's fucking 50.

Would that include the fucking Wonder Twins?

Sure, why not. Cast Kumail Nanjiani and Mindy Kaling while you're at it.
