You forgot #trainwreck
Batman is the kind of character they can afford to not have a solo movie of. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if they're holding off on the live action Batman to give Lego Batman more space.
I knew I missed something.

I can't imagine they'll wait until 2020 for the next Batman solo flick.
I can see them showing up at Comic Con one year with a "Surprise! Batman coming July 2018" or something.
WB already said solo Superman and Batman movies would be sprinkled in between now and 2020. I wouldn't worry about it.

I love this because Zimmer is neither phoning it in nor letting his pride come before the film. Letting someone else take point on a new Batman makes sense if you're not immediately inspired to completely reinvent your own definitive take.

Espescially when Zimmers soundtracks often sound similar anyway...

Lego is money. Batman is money.Eh, yeah, who needs a dark Batflack Movie when you can have a Lego Movie
Lego + Batman? Lawd look at all this money.

I think Batman will be DC's Black Widow, he'll be in alot of the movies, but won't get his own at least not for a while. So almost a BTBTB approach.
Hard to say if this is a personal meeting or perhaps a DCCU meeting but Ray Fisher tweeted this.

They're separate universes. This is being done so the TV universe isn't beholden to what the movies do and the other way around. It gives both sides more freedom to tell the stories they want.
But surely it would make more sense for everything to be connected.
Marvel's TV and movies are connected just like the comics they are based on.
Making TV Flash and movie Flash separate is confusing for everybody.
DC already confirmed Batman and Superman will get solo films. I think the leaked schedule talked about MoS2 and the dates DC reserved for the number of years ahead had them pretty much with 3 DC movies a year and so far only 2 movies per year are announced.
Vertigo and Sandman will be announced seperately and seem like they won't be parts of DCCU.

Do we know if they even intend to have Batman in the Justice League movies? It seems odd to start with the concept of an older Batman when deciding to build a universe.
I mean they said that Batman in this universe is still seen as a "myth" and that criminals don't see him. If that's the case he can't be that old.
I like it when Superman and Batman are best buds, not when Batman is older and acts like a mentor.
The only people who are likely to be confused are people like us: forum dwellers who already know what's up. General audiences don't care.
And as most people usually counter it
1)Either doesn't benefit the TV series (AoS first half was awful due to them having to dance around the whole HYDRA business)
2)It is so far removed it only matters to fans.
3)It's connected, but only on a one way street.
Damnit... I really hoped he would just score the thing. I've loved his Dark Knight trilogy/Man of Steel score.
EDIT: Seeing as they both have collaborated on Dark Knight Rises and Inception, I think we'll be fine here.... (along with Man of Steel)

Would anyone else think a Star Trek:TNG approach to the DCCU would work. You create establish everything in the shows then it all culminates with a few movies after the TV shows have run their course.

yeah I don't think Snyder wants to work with a tv budget
I would add "Fearful Symmetry" to the Justice League Unlimited section. That's the Galatea vs Supergirl episode and I believe the one that starts the whole Camdus storyline in JLU. It's also a Green Arrow/Supergirl team up and ties into "Legacy" from Superman TAS.
Well will try to keep this up to date as well, but Jared Leto eyed for The joker?

you forgot to add clusterfuck and trainwreck that's bloated.
Hmmm, interesting if true. I've learned not make knee-jerk judgment calls on Joker castings
Seriously. I kinda shrug in general when it comes to casting news ever since Heath. Just gotta wait and see.
That GAF thread when he was announced as Joker is classic.

From what I hear he's a phenomenal actor. His credential alone makes me pumped because I finally get the sense that DC is taking their properties seriously. My only reservation is that I think it might be too soon to bring the Joker. Though I'm speaking specifically from my own experience since it's so fresh in my mind, I mean I still remember sitting in the theater watching Ledger give the performance of his life. But to be fair, eight years is a long time, it's an entire generation as the kids of 2006 are now annoying teenagers. If this rumor turns out to be true, even if Leto doesn't sign on, it's exciting to know we'll be getting to see the Joker yet again on the big screen.
Link for the curious? :O

I don't begrudge anyone for thinking Ledger would be terrible choice. I thought the same thing when I heard the announcement since Hollywood gets casting wrong more often than not. I guess the grand lesson I learned from that experience was to be more opened minded. This mentality got me through the casting of Eisenberg and will be greatly tested for Gadot.
Still funny though.
It happens all the time.
People said the same thing about Grant as Barry. It seems they never learn.
Dude did really solid work with 300 2 so I'm cool with this.
One of my favorite episodes of any animated cartoon
I get why, but weird that it was an one-off and never bought him back.

Neil Patrick Harris is gay, his villainous alter ego NPH is straight... am i the only one who watched the 3rd Harold and Kumar movie?
Didn't know if this was new thread worthy as it's not really news, but I still wanted to talk about it. One of the names commonly thrown into the ring is Lexi Alexander, director of Punisher: War Zone. However, in an interview with Fast Company, Alexander states she has no plans to pursue the job.
On the other hand, Alexander has heard at least one woman was offered the job.
Link to the interview.
So that's one woman director down. Aside from wondering who the woman Alexander is talking about, it has hit me how much pressure whichever woman gets the job of directing Wonder Woman is going to be under. You can't possibly screw up there due the massive expectations. I suspect the director of Capt. Marvel will be under similar pressure (I'd bet Vegas money Marvel Studios wants a woman to direct that one), but not to as much extent given how much is riding on this movie and Wonder Woman higher standing in pop culture.
The juicier bit for speculation, of course, is that WB has asked at least one woman to take the job. Any guesses as to who it could be?

Based on Alexander's response, if it's not Bigelow...then I have no idea. She's the only female director I can think of that would "make everyone very happy".
There was a third?
Wasn't that the Christmas one?
