Joel Kinnaman as Flagg... and other stuff. Whatever you do don't take down that adorable gif of Michael Shannon playing with his little General Zod toy. Warms my heart every time I see it.

Really? I didn't get that vibe at all. More like "I've hung up the hood, but I'll put it on for you." Like he owes him that much.

Yeah without the context, who knows what the relationship could be.
Not literally his sidekick but instead of acting on his own he does what Batman wants.

Not related to any of the films but thought I would post the Darkseid figure Sideshow just put up.
The Wonder Woman one is still their best imo

Darkseid's incredibly narrow head continues to bug the hell out of me.

Looks like Phil Lord and Chris Miller will write/develop whatever The Flash for WB, though it says it's not clear if they will direct it.

I have a feeling if WB gives them a good amount of creative freedom to do what they want they'll probably end up directing.
James Wan hot off of Furious 7 is being courted by WB to direct Aquaman.

Jeff Nichols is out then?
wan kind of disappointed me with that film, though I dunno if the movie was his fault or just the messed up schedule after the loss of walker.
if we're talking furious directors i'd take justin lin over him for this

Damn thought he was going to be Shazam for sure because of his newline deal.
Would be hilarious to see James Gunn take Shazam on.
Definite downgrade from Nichols but he should be up to the task.
Do it
He looks undersized.
He's a solid choice, but I'd prefer Jeff Nichols at the helm.
I love the quote from Oliva that pretty much amounts to, "Affleck and Cavill are pretty busy dudes so it'd be a challenge to get them into the recording studio. On the other hand, Momoa, Gadot, and Fisher's phones aren't exactly ringing off the hook so we could probably get them."

I thought the teaser was tomorrow?
Tomorrow is the 5 second teaser for the trailer.

Tomorrow we're getting 5 seconds and a reservation site to see the full thing in theaters in select cities.

5 second teaser tomorrow
20th is teaser? or trailer. I'd consider it a trailer at 2 mins 6 seconds.

Depends on the footage I guess. If it's moody shots like of the suits that we just saw on twitter, I'd call that a teaser. If it has dialogue and teases to the setpieces in the film, I'll call it a trailer.

I would have enjoyed Chris Pine Hal, but John Steward GL would be amazing.
I'm all for John Stewart now. I *have* to think WB have at least reached out to Idris Elba's camp to gauge interest (sorry Tyrese), since I'm of the firm belief that he's the most logical choice despite being a very small part of the MCU. Although I wouldn't be surprised if they're also courting David Oyelowo, hot off Selma as well.

Elba would be ideal, but I think we all know it's gonna be Tyrese.
I've resigned myself to it, and am currently trying to come up with upsides.

Variety Reports on Why MacLaren and the WB parted...
http://variety.com/2015/film/news/wonder-woman-michelle-maclaren-wb-1201473481/
In short, they just didn't agree on anything.
Doesn't mean either vision is wrong or right, just that they weren't the same and when the purse strings and the helm can't agree, it makes sense to part.
Specific points of contention raised:
If preproduction, less action, and budget were part of the sticking points, then Snyder's alleged preference for the Crimean War is unlikely to have pleased the studio either (compared to WWI), so the separation is unlikely to do with a difference of opinion with Snyder.

Specific points of contention raised:
- MacLaren wanted big budget action, the studio doubted her action chops and wanted a character piece
- The studio liked Fuchs (and 5 other) treatments over MacLaren's
- MacLaren was inexperienced in dealing with big-budget production

According to this, John Stewart will be the Green Lantern
And that Jim Parrack will be... Johnny Frost?

makes sense. I'm a bit curious/worried about a less action focused WW movie, but if Gal really does bring it, I won't complain.
Also, I knew that Crimean War rumor was bullshit haha. Made zero sense.

Not liking the Jonny Frost rumor if its implication is Azzarello's Joker influence.
Not what I would have expected at all. I would have thought MacLaren would be the one to push for a more character driven movie.
