Sadly they already wasted their shot with Cassie Cain in that gawd awful Bird of Prey movie.

If they maintain Margot's Harley and her continuity so far (which since Peacemaker is continuing means that's likely) then yeah. And that means Black Mask and Montoya too, sadly.

Well your predictions are constantly wrong, to be fair. Not that it’s a big deal.

But I guess we do have to wait and see. Could be a flop if no one of quality wants to work with Gunn or something, but he is saying all the right things.

But I mean, you were on board for Ant-Man 3 so this may not be your thing, idk. Seems like he is trying to be the opposite of current Marvel in a few key ways.
If watching the mess of cg spectacle that was the Ant-Man 3 trailer interested you, well, he’s pretty much saying he’s gonna do the opposite.

[Andrew NDB]

It's true. I was wrong about The Batman being any good. And Ant-Man 3, with its fairly good trailers. Though I wouldn't say Ant-Man 3 was BAD. It just wasn't much of anything at all, same as Doctor Strange 2, though at least AM3 delivered on its subtitle and DS2 did not. There was no multiverse of madness to be seen, just like 2 universes and they weren't even that weird.

[AquaParade]

Woooo, all subjective but I can’t imagine preferring Ant-Man 3 to The Batman.

The Batman has pacing that puts even me to sleep, but at least it has some artistic integrity. Gorgeous film, quality music, pretty good writing, and some decent action.

Ant-Man 3 is a soulless mess of computer animation that’s been screen-tested to death so as to ensure audiences are laughing every 15 seconds. It’s just… product.

But hey, if we all agreed, we’d have nothing to discuss.

James Mangold is writing Swamp Thing

"The truth is, I'm writing both right now, and who knows what's going to happen and what's gonna blossom first or second? So there's your thing, I'm doing Swamp Thing, there's your scoop. It's not a rumour, it's happening. I put it online."

Directing it as well from what James Gunn said

James Gunn
@JamesGunn
Of course when we started charting the course for the DCU one of the first people I talked to was the super talented
@mang0ld
about writing and directing his passion project Swamp Thing. #SwampThing

[AquaParade]

Mangold Swamp Thing and Gunn’s Superman.

Promising start!

Edit: btw There are somewhat credible rumors that Vaughan could direct The Authority. I think Andrew called that. Nothing confirmed, but good job if so. Maybe I’m misremembering idk.

Edit 2: nvm I think Andrew said Vaughan for Batman, but still his name is swirling around the slate, which is something.

[Autbot_Benz]

It’s official: Andy Muschietti is going to the Batcave.

Ahead of the release of his superhero movie The Flash, Andy Muschietti has decided to keep his feet firmly in the land of DC.

Muschietti finalized a deal to direct The Brave and the Bold, the feature project that will introduce a new big-screen version of Batman, one that will fit into the expansive universe being developed by DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran.

Uh oh... don't tell Aquaparade... The Slate™ might not all happen.

Wouldn't have happened if Aquaman 2 hadn't have been a bust. But here we are.

I hope it's delayed to 2037. What a horrible first movie that was.

I could do without a sequel to that one too.... Christopher Nolan-lite Batman while everyone has waited basically forever for a comic-accurate Batman.

[Andrew NDB]

It's really pretty infuriating. It looked like little by little, we were absolutely going to get some comic book accurate Batman stuff with Battfleck, but after years of waiting and promises that's all yanked away and it's like, "Oh here you go, here's an even more grounded and barebones version of Batman than the Nolan one." And that script was STUPID.

lol, why do you say it was stupid? Riddler being 100 percent justified until the climax? At which point he’s so blatantly evil that there’s no tough call to make by stopping him…

The riddles were all dumb and easily solvable, there weren't any arcs to speak of anywhere in sight. They made Bruce Wayne completely unlikeable and it seemed like they were on some Joker-like kick of maybe making the Wayne family evil, but didn't quite commit to it? Just very bad and dumb choices all around. Everything that "worked" in the movie (which wasn't much) worked much better in the Nolan films.

-Sgt Rock and Clayface are top priorities, Clayface will begin shooting this summer and be released next year

-Development of Waller, The Authority, and Swamp Thing hascooled in recent months

-The Batman II script 'no closer' to completion, but encouraging signs

These filmmakers really all need to stop jerking off in public with little addresses and speeches about "the plan" or about "their brilliance" and just make the content.

Celebrate and do the public masturbation after you've released a banger of a publicly-accepted movie.

Omfg, more recently we've been seeing this at Disney. It's like every episode of the failed Acolyte was followed up with some presentation by the showrunners about their brilliance. It used to be that guys like Lucas did that 15 years after the fact when people demanded more content and access to their amazing movies.

Now? These f'n Hollywood filmmakers are all cosplaying "genius artists" about 2 minutes after their release. And in the case of the DC? For two years now and we haven't even had a movie yet.
