Wow, there’s a ton happening. I’m confused if Peacemaker/Waller is Elseworlds or DCU though.

Aquaman 3 teased. "No actors will play multiple characters" seems to shoot down rumors of Mamoa as Lobo. Ta-Nehisi Coates' "Black Superman" will get an Elseworld movie. The Flash is "the greatest Superhero movie of all time" and going ahead 100% full steam with no more delays or reshoots. Joker 2 is an Elseworld and not part of main canon. The Batman 2 is also an Elseworld. https://twitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1620470098204184577

Safran says "Batgirl was unwatchable" and they are glad they cancelled it before they came on because "it would have hurt DC" and they want to do the character justice in a full feature film soon.

Slight correction: Watched it again and he says "Batgirl was unreleaseable" and not "unwatchable." Doesn't really change what he was saying, though.

I saw the movie, and there are a lot of incredibly talented people in front of and behind the camera on that film. But that film was not releasable, and it happens sometimes. That film was not releasable. I actually think that [president and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery David] Zaslav and the team made a very bold and courageous decision to cancel it because it would have hurt DC. It would have hurt those people involved.”

Safran posted:But that film was not releasable, and it happens sometimes. Anyway I have no faith that literally any of these are going to be released. Oh sure, objectively speaking there's probably a chance that some of them might be, but WB has earned zero benefits of any doubts here. Until we literally see them playing in front of our eyes these should all be treated as all dead projects. ...Which is like, whatever, 'cuz most of these sound pretty bad anyway? Like I 100% want to see a Robin but it should have been Dick and it would have made perfect sense in the Battinson sequel anyway? Paradise Lost would be good if they take all their cues from Wonder Woman Historia, but I also have zero faith in that happening and they'll probably just use it to double down on daddy Zeus, so meh to that.

I dont want to defend the shelving of Batgirl because I don't believe it should have been shelved but it was never a "blockbuster" it was filmed on a smaller budget designed for straight to streaming.

Man the article I read made the whole thing look a little silly. It was all like "Well, this new Superman is all about being super super good. He's the best and nicest person there is. Therefore of course the villain needs to just be super evil, just a hosed up evil guy, like Gorilla Grodd or the Joker. Meanwhile we've got Damien Wayne in the Batman movie, and he's going to be this hosed up little assassin/murderer. Then we're doing Supergirl, and the story there is that she's from a chunk of Krypton that survived, and that made her just a little more hard edged, a little bit hosed up, you know. Finally, we do need to do something tonally different, so here's Swamp Thing, and this movie is just gonna be all dark and edgy." Like I have to assume I was just reading the shittiest take on his presentation ever.

Bat family in the DCU? Where the gently caress is my Batman, Inc. movie then, Gunn???

starting the bat family with Damien as Robin means that dick, todd, Jason, babs, Stephanie, and cass are already active in this universe right? right??

Does this mean we are going to get two different actors playing Batman in two different films? Maybe they should just bypass Bruce for Batman and Robin and have Grayson be Batman.

Yes, Gunn said that DCU and Elseworlds will be clearly delineated. I expect most video games for instance, to fall under the Elseworlds banner as their dev time makes it difficult to weave into anything overarching anyway.

I find it pretty funny that since Batman and Robin, in 1997, there hasn't been an actual on-screen Robin. Yeah sure Dark Knight Rises kinda counts but not really. There's been what, six movies since then, 6.5 if you include the Snyder Cut I guess. Robin doesn't exist for three of them and is already dead/elsewhere in the other three.

Lmao at the slate going full speed ahead with the Flash and a reboot and multiple projects (Peacemaker, Waller) just going ahead with the preboot poo poo they're so desperate to throw off.

Firstly, watch Teen Titans Go to the movie Secondly Robin in Teen Titans Go is completely his own character. It was be both amazing and disastrous if Grayson behaved in the comics the same way he behaves in TTG. edit: Thinking about it they need to make a Grayson movie like Spiderverse/No Way Home which features Teen Titans Go Robin, Batman and Robin's Robin, Batman TAS's Robin, Batman 65's Robin, original Teen Titan's cartoon Robin, Titans Live Action's Robin/Nightwing etc. Madkal fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Jan 31, 2023 |

I've only seen bits and pieces but I just always assumed it was Grayson since its the New Teen Titans lineup and it would be kind of weird to put Drake with them. I mean not weird in a way viewers probably would have cared. But just why bother?
