I'd still prefer a hard reset.
-Release Justice League part 1. -Finish/release Aquaman since its already shooting. -Release Justice League part 2 as the conclusion to this universe. Reset, then try again. Sorry but as good as Wonder Woman is, it's not worth preserving a broken universe over. There's no fixing who this universe has established is Superman, Batman, Joker... it's all a mess. The only highpoints of this universe are Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, and Hans Zimmer's scores. 1/4 isn't a good start. And considering Zack's involvement in Justice League, they're looking to be batting 1/5 in just a few months unless Whedon can churn out a miracle. Reset. Keep Whedon. Get some other strong filmmakers in there and attach them to the right properties like Sam Mendez & Superman, Sam Raimi & The Flash... Hell, you could probably even lure J.J Abrams to return to space for Green Lantern. But regardless of fantasy booking directors, just hit the damn reset button and cut their losses already. |

There's nothing wrong with Affleck's Batman assuming he wants to continue the role, and there's no way WB will recast Wonder Woman anytime soon. If you think they're really going to drop Gal Gadot just because people don't like the current universe, that's just crazy. She literally just became the defining version of Wonder Woman for a new generation.

I'm with you here. NEVER let JJ Abrams touch ANYTHING you don't want to kill all heart and depth.
The man's a hack.

Given some of the source material, why not have a "Flashpoint" or "Crisis" type of event that smooths the rough edges off of this series of adaptations?
The flashbacks in BvS hinted at the possibility of time travel, after all.

I mean, what actually is the damage we need to repair? Batman murdering people in BvS? Sure. What else? Stuff like crappy Luthor Jr. has built-in escape hatches (just introduce Luthor Sr., voila).

And I liked Ben, too. Unfortunately, his Batman as written is beyond redemption. I actually meant the Abrams remark as more a joke than anything else |

No, wait, he did 10 Cloverfield Lane, right? Didn't he? THAT was a good movie. 1 for 4.

And I agree that a superman film reboot starting in the 30s is a bad idea... pre crisis Supes might have been borderline immortal but post crisis Supes wasn't... and Pre Crisis Superman dyed his hair grey... Superman should follow a more streamlined story, say the Man of Steel mini series. Clark ks who he is, Superman is just his work clothes. Superman hasn't been written well since 1999ish. Unless thats turned around in the last year or so of his comics since i had to gice up collecting... Other than a 1000 years spent with Wonder Woman, away from his wife (damn good restraint, unlike the new52 Superman...), Kal seems to age only slightly slower than us mere mortals. DC could always have the TV Barry Allen time travel again and mess the movie timeline up instead of his own... lol. |
