Not to Turn this thread political but The only thing Paul Ryan does is absolutely nothing He is part of the Republican do nothing congress and he is bought and paid for by the NRA. He also has a face you could punch. Can't wait till he is voted out.

Apparently, it could be years before the film ever hits the big screen.

Of course, they're likely going to reboot the movie universe anyway.

Gal Gadot is also already 32, by the time Wonder Woman 2 comes out she'll be 33...I can see maybe one more movie out of her at best. By the time she gets close to 40 she'll be deemed "too old" to continue playing the character and they'll probably recast.

Also keep in mind Wonder Woman is not supposed to age like normal humans anyway, it'll seem weird if they keep Gal Gadot who will look older in real life when Diana is not supposed to age as rapidly as humans.

Cancel the DCEU and create a Batman EU. Let the Russo Brothers and Patty Jenkins run it after Avengers 4 is over.

Not the worst idea ever, really. Reset and build up the Bat-verse with a somewhat younger Batman... then little by little introduce characters like Superman and Wonder Woman, then do their series, then eventually circle around with a proper Justice League movie. By this point your younger Batman will now be older than everyone being brought in, so it all works out.

Cancel Flashpoint, release Aquaman and WW2 as is since they're already in production, and begin shooting Booster Gold. Show Booster traveling through all the DCEU movies poking fun at how bad things have gotten and how its all his fault. The movie ends with him "fixing" his mistake and resetting the DCEU to be something more familiar to general audiences. Then wait to see if the response warrants continuing in this new established universe or treat it as a final chapter and reboot. Boom.

I would say, "Then why not just let Flashpoint do that, then?" but I really don't care anymore. Like, I really, really don't care.

It's been 5 years since "Man of Steel." There hasn't even been a Man of Steel 2 or a Batman 1 yet, or so much as a script for either... they're doing it wrong. A lot of people need to be fired.

Agree on all accounts.

The reason I say go with Booster Gold instead of Flashpoint though is it seems stupid to waste Flashpoint on the first Flash movie. Plus with Booster you can have more of a tongue in cheek approach to poking fun on how WB has handled their past movies. Even to the point of Booster flying by the rooftop BVS showdown and shouting "His mother's name is Marthaaaa!"

If nothing else, Batman is a solid moneymaker. Audiences love us some Batman.

building their movie universe off a strong Batman solo film series would have been their best bet.

what other DC character sells as many comics per month as Batman?


i wonder if Geoff Johns and his contempt for the character had any part in this long a wait for another solo Batman film?

I think at this point it'd depend on Which Batman, because they haven't all been great.

They can always recast. I'm not speaking re: any particular actor, I'm speaking of the brand itself.

Still the top DC character in terms of merch and comics sales, I believe...

It's probably the top selling character, period. Of any brand, ever.

Bruce Wayne/Batman is one of the easiest cast superheroes ever, simply because there's already been so many actors cast as him.

All you need is a white guy with short black hair, and be reasonably tall and look rich. That's all you need.

Well, Mickey Mouse could give him a run for his money, maybe. But yeah... Batman is king of commerce. Superman and Spiderman vying for the top three, although since the MCU happened, they might have some competition...

It's been 13 years since Kingdom Hearts 2. That's like 2, 3 generations of little kids.
