The Joker will appear in some capacity, but elements of his and Harley's proposed storyline have been reshuffled to their standalone spin-off.

Thanks a lot, Sup Forums.

$10 days afleck drops after JL premieres and WB shifts all focus to Steven king related properties.
Get ready for a shining reboot
Alexander Rodriguez
So basically they gave up with dark tone and went with Marvel formula? I liked how these 2 comic universes were so different, but now we are supposed to get Marvel2? Wondering which way Universal Dark Universe takes in next movie.
Luis Lewis
God almighty, when will it end
Carter Johnson
Never.

This all sounds terrible. If Snyder's done, there's zero reason to care

Who wants a fucking Shazam movie? Just because Marvel can make a successful franchise from GOTG doesn't mean WB has the same clout. They've released one decent movie so far

Can't see Tom Cruise getting into capeshit. Also Michael B. Jordan is now with Marvel, dont they have a contact which prevents their actors work with DC?

Test screening audiences said that the movie was literally unwatchable. It was likely packed with so many set ups for upcoming movies and characters that it was just jarring.
Nathaniel Wilson

Benjamin Smith
As per usual, nary a source to be found.
Liam Hill
Whats the point of test screenings it's literally making a film for the stupid people, Id prefer films just to be made as the director intends and if people like they like, this is where the are has gone in film making

murder mystery, holy fuck this is all ive ever wanted, an actual detective kino but with batman instead of a cop,
Brody Taylor
>>Joss Whedon reworked about 40% Fake news, he's not even getting a directing credit
David Morgan
It's to small scale for Batman though unless the murder mystery leads into a massive conspiracy. I know Sup Forums hates the Court of Owls but it's a good concept
Jose Hughes
i think thats what he needs though, you can have him beating up guys on the side and maybe a low level villian like two face causeing troulbe in the underbelly, but id love a literaly who guy that was murdered some people not some mastermind s7even meets batman
Justin Foster
I hate the idea of a flashpoint movie this early on, but I love the idea of Michael Fassbender as Reverse Flash.
Aside from that, they are planning far too big, if the next few movies flop people aren't just going to come and see them like they did with Suicide Squad.
Gabriel Butler
I literally never asked for over half of this shit. What a clusterfuck. What even is the point of the Batman rogues if they are going to be treated as protagonists in spinoff films before even getting the chance to be villains in the first place?
Cooper Carter
the real DC dies with Justice League. God Bless Snyder
Samuel Cruz
This. Unless they embrace Snyder's vision, they'll be screwing themselves out of building onto a fantastic setup.

Why would they role out legacy characters this early? Anyway the only Titans anyone really gives a shit about are is Nightwing and Wally West.
Dylan Gomez
They're making the first flash movie flash point so why not?
Jayden Rogers

Also fake news, the director has confirmed it'll be set in cold war era
Andrew Scott
That rule can be waived, and given the circumstances, it probably was. It could have been credit given out of simple appreciation of stepping in to see the project to completion.
Ryan Walker
agreed. unless marvel can get the rights for X-Men I'm out after infinity war. I don't particularly care for the next wave of characters at all. Except captain marvel but only mildly.
Hudson Diaz
>Red Hood will be the villain Being a Jason fag is suffering. Relegated to a Nightwing villain. Fuck me.
