It's wrapped.

Wow, and only what... Three years since anyone gave a sh*t?

Ah well. Probably be good. But it's pretty clear what their "strategy" is: Just drag most of the movies with Snyder's cast out until everyone's too old, or until the fans are apathetic, then recast and start over.

Which is riiiight about when "The Batman 3" would be dropping.

As mentioned elsewhere, Aquaman 2 has been delayed into next year:

So damn. It really will be 5 years between Aquaman movies. I was joking about that a couple years ago... yet here they go. What a great way to keep an audience.

Also... is all of this because of Superman and the impending Discovery merger with WB?

So is Amber **** still in it?

This is the one I have been looking forward to. Filming has wrapped, why does it need extra time in post-production?

Reshoots to add Henry Cavill.

Oh, okay. I was getting the idea that Henry was quietly parted with Warner Bros. I am firm on my preference that the characters look the part as much as possible, but Aquaman did something that really impressed me. It was the tone. I kept waiting for Thomas Curry to be murdered and the limitations of Aquaman in viable characters and plot direction never hampered it. The tone was not dark, it was not family friendly goofy. It was perfect. Something I have not seen since say Guardians of The Galaxy or perhaps better the Raimi/McGuire Spider-Man films, although one of my praises for the latter is the comic accurate looks, something Aquaman lacks and I somehow can overlook.

[Leo656]

He's kidding, bro.

Pretty sure Cavill wouldn't answer WB's calls anymore even if they wanted him back (which they don't since they've already got Michael B. Jordan waiting in the wings to play Superman). Cavill's got enough going on, and the last anyone heard he was trying to get involved with the MCU as a way to get back at WB for snubbing him.

Cavill as Superman will not be seen again. Not unless there's a HUGE shift in priority at WB. Cavill keeps saying he's just waiting for the call but I'm pretty sure that's just for the fans. It's been five years; he's out.

Which, from every indication, is absolutely coming with the Discovery merger (which basically equates to Discovery taking over). Does this mean the Discovery people are in love with the Snyder-verse? Not necessarily. But maybe they're not in love with whatever the f*** WB is doing now.

"Henry parting ways with WB," "Cavill walks away from Superman"... all of these headlines are as stupid today as they were when they first started coming out 2-3years ago now. He can't "part ways" with WB because he isn't a WB employee and doesn't have a contract. He can't "walk away from Superman" because there isn't currently any Superman movies or DC movies with Superman appearances in them -- there's nothing to walk away from! It'd be like if WB decided to never greenlight a Wonder Woman 3, and then there's suddenly articles about, "Gal Gadot walks away from Wonder Woman." wtf are you talking about? That isn't the way this works.

[Leo656]

Well in 2022 every white person is Hitler unless they're gay, so that's what you're getting. Tough rocks, pal.

[AquaParade]

Called Affleck coming back.

This won’t be the last of him.

[ZariusTwo]

Apparently this is because Lost Kingdom is being moved up the slate to come out before Flash and it's to retain some consistency with continuity. A cut now exists out there with Keaton and Mamoa from the revised timeline, now giving way to the prior timeline, I've gone crosseyed

And test screenings for Aquaman 2 also reveal Keatons' version of the cameo confused the hell out of audiences

So it IS a replacement of the Keaton cameo, then.

[AquaParade]

This is going to be good for everyone who threw a fit or had a forum meltdown because they didn’t like the latest Batman film.

One for realism and one for multiverse type crap.

Best of both worlds imo.

And Keaton running around too? Sure, why not. This is great.

Amber has filed for bankruptcy

Not really at all.

I think so. Most people who had a meltdown over Pattinson/Reeves rather have Affleck.

Affleck is involved in the more fantastical version of the DC, while Pattinson's world is as grounded as it gets for Batman.

Two pretty different flavors. If neither of these are satisfying to a Batman fan, they should maybe just stick to the comics, imo. And hey, the comics are still great.
