Multiple Joker movies (but one that’s going into a not-yet-fully-branded “DC Dark” line). A Flash movie that tries turn a tragic time travel tale into Back to the Future. Random characters being thrown at the wall to see what sticks (though, generally speaking, mostly trying to emphasize something lighter, except for the “DC Dark” stuff).
I mean, it’s good that they’re trying to do something after a series of missteps with Superman and Batman and the Justice League (we’ll throw in a half-stumble for Suicide Squad), but it’s not at all clear that, besides kicking the folk who had been leading the DCEU at the executive level to the curb, that the course corrections have been all that coherent or interesting.
I do hope they get it right. There’s some great material in the DC Universe, and Marvel’s efforts (even if they were an improbable series of flukes) show that you can definitely make big-screen comic book movies work.
Warner Bros. Shifts DC Strategy Amid Executive Change-Up
Two Joker movies and a ‘Back to the Future’-style ‘Flash’ are among the new initiatives as the studio plots an Affleck-less Batman and stops dating movies far in advance.
They rushed the while thing and tried to catch up with Marvel who had a 10 year start. It's a hot, stinking mess of a franchise.
It can be saved if they stop trying to overthink these characters…They need a Fan to direct and the Music of the Ledgendary Hoyt Curtin to make a real SuperFriends movie!!!
'cause they don't do the establishing films like Marvel.
+Laura Ess I don't think you actually need to do establishing movies for the signature heroes…Basically the DC heroes don't need a character driven movie or even a villian, They need a Natral Disaster like a Volcano or Bridge Collapse Cruise Liner disaster that requires a SuperFriends Response that can easily show friendship, humor and character development by way of problem solving…That's the only way DC can catch up to Marvel in my opinion
+Marcus Dana Montague I think you need something more than a SF-style disaster. Frankly, those were always the more boring SF episodes.
Flashpoint was what drove me from comics in the first place. I’m not optimistic.
DC "Dark"? As opposed to….?
