The DC...Extended Universe or Films or Whatever

[ZakuConvoy]

James Gunn claims that Waner Bros CANNOT interfere with the DC movies, because they are now separate divisions inside the company.

James Gunn Reassures Fans Warner Bros. Cannot Interfere With the DCU

DC Studios co-head James Gunn alleviates fan worries by saying that Warner Bros. won't have any control over his upcoming DC Universe.

I'm mostly putting this here to see how this ends up aging, one way or another.

I mean, that’s the case on the Marvel side too. Feige doesn’t answer to Perlmutter.

Feige barely answers to anyone. Just about everyone on the Disney side leaves him alone, becuase he's kinda proved his worth in knowing what he's doing for the most part.

Barry screwed things up, so it's a good thing they got a god dang BATMAN

 

[Shadewing]

Okay, they had me at including the Burton theme song when showing off Micheal Keaton's Batman... I kinda want to see this...

 

[TM2-Megatron]

It's glorious to hear the Elfman Batman theme again... I really want to see this, but I just know I'm going to be inevitably pissed off when James Gunn announces a few weeks later (after it's made the bulk of its profit) that the whole thing is nullified, Keaton will never appear again, etc, etc along with a few promises of whatever MCU rip-off he's devising to turn DC into.

Too late:
Batgirl (featuring Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne/Batman) got scrapped, reportedly there was talk of another Keaton Bat-project (Batman Beyond, supposedly) that was also scrapped.

 

[Stepwise]

They had Batman Beyond plans? Now I have sad feelings . . .

 

[Rhinox]

Considering the general quality of DC films, I'm actually quite okay with them scrapping Batman Beyond. Let's get a team that knows what they're doing in there and maybe try again in a few years.

I'll respond to the James Gunn announcement here and the Flash stuff over in the other thread. Time will tell on how good it actually is but it seems to have a decent setup. I'm disappointed that the Wonder Woman project was described as Game of Thrones but I guess we're firmly entrenched in the New 52 origin. Green Lantern was a bit of a positive surprise in that they're leaning into the dual space cop setup.

 

[MrBlud]

Why would “royal intrigue” necessitate a New 52 origin?

 

[Zamuel]

My assumption is that it would be using the changes to Wonder Woman's origin and world made around then. I could be dead wrong. Just the knee jerk reaction of the moment.

 

[ZakuConvoy]

My guess with the Wonder Woman TV show is that it kinda-sorta taking inspiration from the recent Trial of the Amazons event. That way they can work in Nubia, the Bana-Mighdall Amazons, and the Esquecida Amazon Rainforest Amazons.

Basically, it's a big fight against different factions of Amazons for the "honor" of guarding the doorway to the underworld. And getting manipulated and tricked by various forces during the contest.

After Doctor Who I may likely swap over to DCEU depending on when the 15th Doctor ends his run unless D + holds the series for the 16th Doctor. This could be a swap back between D + and HBO Max. Or I may decide to start HBO Max in April and keep both feeds.

My thought on that is if both MCU and DC EU have active shows at once and I mean a lot of them in both lines. MCU has 6 episodes each year per series they have active. Titans IV is on their mid break.

I mean, I don't know if we got a dedicated, general, DC Media thread, but I guess this will do.

After WBD's recent cuts and restructuring, they left Batman: Caped Crusader in limbo. There was significant interest from Apple, Netflix and Hulu, but Amazon Prime ended up snapping up the series with a two season order. Pitched as a spiritual successor to Batman: The Animated Series focusing on the early years of Batman, the show featured JJ Abrams, Bruce Timm, and Matt Reaves in executive roles. Comic writer Ed Brubaker is leading the writing team as well.

‘Batman: Caped Crusader’ Moves to Amazon With Two-Season Order

The series, from J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves and Bruce Timm, was previously developed for HBO Max.

Maybe they can get Troy Baker to do his Kevin Conroy impression.

 

[MrBlud]

Hopefully the other writers manage to rein in Timm’s creepy obsession of putting Bruce with Barbara.

Since it's focusing on Batman's early years, there may not be any sidekicks in this.

So Bruce Timm wouldn't be able to ship Barbara with himself Bruce Wayne.

But remember, this guy is younger and CHEAPER than Cavill at this stage.
