He's said that it was a scheduling thing.
As is Wonder Woman. I'd say the Flash is as well.
Seriously, even though we all know Supes and Bats are on another level, people act like they are literally the only DC heroes anyone has ever heard of or could pick out of a lineup.

green arrow was making his way to there too due to the show as well
Even if for the wrong reasons...
Like the Superfriends shows have defined some of these characters for 30-40 years in the public's eye
Most of the original core league members are firmly implanted in the pop culture psyche but, like you've pointed out, a lot of it is really old.

Shooting on the Revenant went WAY over schedule. IIRC it was supposed to wrap around April and rumors were stating it wouldn't wrap until August.

I read somewhere Cate Blanchett is rumoured for WW too.
I'm glad Hardy didn't do SS tbh, looks like Leto, Robbie and Smith are going to be stealing that show. Would rather Hardy headlined a property, or be a direct antagonist or something.

Yeah I worded it pretty oddly, what I meant is I want the other leaguers to be easy money status. Right now WBDC rarely green lights projects outsides of Batman (most of their cash cow), JL, Teen Titans & Superman. Thankfully Flash & Arrow is turning that around and hopefully these new movies will too.
They have the... one rule mentality, which works and doesn't
I mean they've done non-Batman and Superman stuff, that was either terrible or didn't light the world on fire.
So they go back to what works.
And I think, especially with movies, people often forget they didn't need more than those two. The 00s were highlighted by two mega franchises in Harry Potter and LoTR so they could take their time.
Now... HP is done, LoTR is all finished... so they wanna try to expand their comic roster

Looks like someone on youtube has my picture as their avatar. Simo was the original creator.
Welp, Ben DID boot Goyer
Well we've known that from when the rumors started, but why is Damon talking about the Batman movie?
Welp, Ben DID boot Goyer
But we knew this already.
Because they are Hollywood's biggest bromance.
Not sure if anyone here has watched The 100, but having just finished Season 2, if we do end up getting a Jason Todd/Red Hood story in these movies (and I'm fairly convinced right now that that's where we're going leading up to the Batfleck solo movie), Bob Morley who plays Bellamy would be fantastic in the role of a former Robin out for revenge.
He's easily one of the show's strongest actors, both among its younger and older cast.

Wasn't Damon fingered for Two Face in TDK once upon a time. He'd be good in the DCU. Maybe as some kind of astronaut.

I could definitely get on board with this.
Man of Steel sequel hasn't been put on hold, shocking!
Seems like Miller has/was offered Man of Steel sequel or Justice League Dark, if he wants either one

That Snyder interview from a few days back was pretty clear that they haven't offered Miller anything (though Zack'd love to see him working on something DC, and the door is absolutely open).
To be fair, I'd imagine while he's involved in the creative side, that Zack isn't necessarily involved on the business end of things.
Nor would he announce something he wasn't supposed to ahead of time, but we'll see
Damnit, I want him on a movie!

Do it based Miller. Tom Hardy for Constantine.

Interesting they haven't offered him GLC, Flash or Shazam. Wonder if they are already in talks with other directors for those. Though they're so far off there's no real rush, but we don't have dates for JLD or MoS2 & Aquaman already has a director. These movies can go in so many directions. Wonder if we could get Brad Bird on Shazam or Flash.
Speculation/wishing is half of the fun of these movies and as long as we're indulging...
Flash -Michael Jai White. Or the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia guys.
If the masses are gonna whine about JOKES and FUN so much let's get a crew that's actually funny. MJW has the bonus of he could play Black Manta eventually.
Shazam - Alfonso Cauron. I'm not too familiar with the character (other than animation) but his repertoire seems like it'd fit. Between him and Snyder DC would have a stranglehold on excellent action scenes.
Green Lantern - David Twohy. Curtis Hanson. Not that he'd do it but I'd like to see the latter do a fantasy/scifi movie.
Cyborg - Neill Blompkamp - Put a short ass leash on him of course...but I think District 9 is a good blueprint. Pretty good action. Unique visual style. Touching story of an asshole(Not that Cy is IDK) getting in touch with his humanity while going through body horror.

Please do Justice League Dark.

I prefer Justice League Dark but I'd much rather see George Miller do Superman.
The Ain't it Cool Guy said it and El Mayimbe said he heard the same. Also the AIC said Ezra told him that. Haven't seen the interview with Ezra though.
Yeah Mayimbe said no to Gustin, but Knowles said Ezra told him Gustin is in. So who knows lol
Another day, another set of eh maybe rumors
The Man of Steel sequel (which I think he was the one who stated was on hold) would deal with Brainiac, Supergirl and Bizarro.

Would be an awesome twist, if it turns out her "cousin" is the one from Man of Steel and show is set years after the fact
That was Den of Geek.
Probably Braniac for sure. Doubtful about the other two.

Nope. He said it was on hold, too.
Brainiac and Supergirl seems like an obvious way to go. Bizarro seems like an odd throw-in, but it could always be said that Brainiac is excellent at genetic manipulation or something.
MoS3 Lex and Metallo, then?

I'm kind of doubting supergirl because of the tv show but that doesn't mean much with Flash going on. I guess that pod was open.
I'm reading through John's GL right now, I kind of want the first film to be about Hal & Sinestro being buddy cops and it ending with Hal exposing Korugar, which leads into the sequel being Sinestro Corp Wars. That's probably too much Sinestro focus though, there's so much ground to cover and places to go with GL.
