THE CURRENT STATE OF THE DC MOVIE UNIVERSE

TL;DR

>BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN was a disappointment and forced WB to change their plans for the DCEU and promote Geoff Johns and Jon Berg to executive producers. Johns was produced due to his comic book cred and is contributing with the scripts, but Berg is the true mastermind behind the DCEU.

>SUICIDE SQUAD was poorly-received but very profitable.

>JUSTICE LEAGUE has been well-received by executives so far, many of which dislike Zack Snyder. Ben Affleck was named producer effectively to reign Snyder in. WB is anticipating a box office hit.

>Executives are also satisfied with WONDER WOMAN. The original director, Michelle McLaren, dropped out due to creative differences because she wanted a different approach than WB's for the movie.

>WB is heavily investing on AQUAMAN, who is expected to be the breakout character of the DCEU. James Wan adds a lot of credibility to the project due to his string of box office hits and the studio is considering switching his release date with THE FLASH's and releasing AQUAMAN in March.

>THE FLASH is the lowest on WB's priority list. The original director, Seth Grahame-Smith, dropped out because WB believed he was too unexperienced for such an expensive movie, and the new director, Rick Famuyiwa, dropped out due to creative differences about tone. They're searching for a replacement, but aren't as invested in the character.

>Overall, WB is confident they'll pull it off this time.

I really wish nolan's dark knight trilogy didn't make so much money, I'm bleeding sick of capeshit already.

thank you deadline?

>geoff johns
oh no

This shit will ruin WB

SPACE BUG?

The Flash is the one I'm most confident about because he's Geoff John's fav character and whatever your feelings about the guy, we know he'll fight for his vision.

when will they ever learn.

>WB is heavily investing on AQUAMAN, who is expected to be the breakout character of the DCEU.

I don't know shit about the character but Jason Mamoa is great choice for the role.

why does their flagship franchise look like a made for tv movie?

He's a TV star who led a failed Conan the Barbarian remake, and he looks nothing like the Character, how is he great?

They've made more than $2 billion only 3 movies in. Chances are no one at Warner is crying themselves to sleep.

If you want to talk about ruin, Sony's the biggest cuck in hollywood right now.

>and he looks nothing like the Character
Precisely. His comic design's always looked like a bad joke no matter how edgy they try to make his stories.

>reign Snyder in

The man literally does anything any executive tells him to the best of his abilities. His problem is he doesn't have any ability.

Honestly Momoa as Aquaman is the only one I'm really excited for

He was perfectly cast as Conan. It was the rest of the film that let him down.

ayy

He was given mostly free reign on BvS, and looked what happened

It became a jeep, droid, and Turkish air commercial?

The Ultimate Cut was great desu family.

No, the theatrical was bloated meandering pointless shit, and the director's cut was just more bloated.

They've spent around 1.7 billion though.

Not according to hollywood accounting.

Hollywood accounting is when they claim to have spent more than they actually did in order to hide profits from the IRS.

So, yea, "officially" they're down 80 gorrilion dollars, but they have spent at least 1.5 billion on the DCEU and they've yet to see much of a return on it.

They still made close to or around a billion dollar profit on 3 critically-trashed films after breaking even. Not to shabby.

The only way you could come to a number like that is forgetting/ignoring that theaters take at least 50% of the ticket cost.

That's only foreign grosses, and 50% is still something of a rough estimate, not taking into account tax breaks and other shenanigans.

Nope, studios only get around 20-30% of foreign gross.

>tools 3 movies to make 2 billion
>still trying to catch up to marvel

>rein Snyder in

that's like trying to rein Stanley Kubrick in. you would be a fool to get in the way of Zack Snyder's artistic vision
