Ain't happening. It's still gonna make a good amount of money this weekend. We'll see where the dust settles.

Justice League is going to be AWESOME.
Should make them money, the word of mouth would not have gotten around fully, but it's going to hurt everything down the line.

That's class.
Played by Gerard Butler?
Why is there a sequel to My Big Fat Greek Wedding
I hope Warner Bros realize that Batman, Superman, and maybe Wonder Woman were the draw of Batman v Superman.
And that they'll still have been the draw for a Justice League movie.
Dawn of Justice is probably as good as it'll get for this cinematic universe.
Am I allowed to base my wallet on them?

Right now, Justice League. I could see that being his last one and WB slowly shifts him into a "producer" role like Burton on Batman Forever when Returns didn't sell enough toys for their liking.

I'm with you man. I haven't even seen the movie but 30 something % on a Batman Superman movie? GTFO here bruh. WB, take an L for 6 months and give this to someone capable of directing and someone else (not Goyer) of writing it. Honestly seems like Goyer got big as some super writer thanks to the NolanBros's cocktails. Both of them need to be removed from the DC running team.
DC needs to find their Russo brothers. Not Christopher Nolan, let that man do his own IPs. I would pay a ton of money for Jonathan Nolan to be DC's Fiege. He's a brilliant writer and director, I'd imagine he'd love that opportunity. Don't overwork him with all the movie, but have him in charge of the plans on how to move forward. Other than that, find Russo Bros version somewhere and pay them a shit ton of money. Jonathan Nolan to single superhero movie, Battfleck to direct Batman movies, and new guys to hand JL and Superman movies with other talented directed to handle the rest.
EDIT: Forgot about George Miller. He would be another good shout.
Yep, there's no way.
No way at all.
What am I looking at?

Why is there a sequel to Man of Steel?
George Miller and the cast of the then-in-production Justice League movie that fell apart and DC shifted direction on.
None of those movies are really anywhere yet. The furtherest ones along are Aquaman and Flash, which have directors/writers and lead actors, but the scripts aren't even finished yet.

The cast of Justice League: Mortal.

Pretty big difference in canning a movie that hadn't starting shooting, versus canning an entire movie universe that is already 2 films deep, with 3 more in production.

I agree but I also never expected it to review this bad. So my read on this kinda stuff is totally throw off.
the cast of George Miller's justice league movie, right before they were supposed to start filming
But I think assuming they'll just stay the course, where Warner Bros. has scraped budding superhero film franchises at the first sign of it not going according to plan, is equally unlikely.

Woop, nevermind. Just saw Snyder said BvS was MoS 2. Sorry about that.
I thought i read somewhere it wasn't.

Except for, you know, this movie we're talking about right now?
There isn't a sequel to MoS. BvS isn't a proper sequel to that movie, and that's one of the main issues. WB didn't want to wait and spend time expanding their cinematic universe.

Said it once and I'll say it again, current DC films need to realize grim dark doesn't work for every character. Especially Superman.
Will they learn this lesson? Probably not.

They've got a lot more invested in this, but you are right when you consider that we still haven't even hit the box office numbers yet. I think WB might be hoping that the numbers are tepid but something they can spin as a stepping stone of some kind, but if this movie somehow does the unthinkable and outright tanks, they have to consider how much of a stink that will leave on any figure DCEU films and take drastic measures.

Hey, I hated MGSV too but this is essentially the opposite (especially if the audience reaction remains favourable). It was noted that the story was weak, but even then MGSV was overwhelmed with praise and glowing reviews, perfect scores etc. It's when hardcore fans invested hours in the game and formed their own opinion that they died inside.
Pretty sure a director of Babe and tap dancing penguin doing JL movie would cause meltdowns back then.
God, this is perfect
He also had this thing called Mad Max behind his name.
and if it not? Bombs in the box office?
Oh my god

Going by the trailers it does seem to be a direct sequel to the events of Man of Steel, it even shows Metropolis being blown up from a different perspective.
But yes, I agree it was too soon for a movie like this.
Oh my god.
