Well personally I'm excited we are getting another Superman movie, and I'm kinda reading in between the lines. With Johns in his new role it kinda tells me he's pushing of for this. That last line about getting the character "right" sounds like Johns imo. Since he knows the characters and material. I'm just happy he's coming back. It's important.

I still believe Batman films next year at some point for that October 2018 date. However, I see Justice League 2 being pushed if they want to get the Superman sequel in before it. Otherwise Cavill is gonna have to pull a Gadot and film both back to back.
Not that he's drowning in projects, mind you.

Outside of The Hollywood Reporter, who's more reliable in this business than The Wrap?

Well, if that's the case, The Wrap probable double checked before publishing, right ?
Paging icon btw.
October would be weird for Batman though, they'd want him in the summer. October is a date for obscure characters imo.
I can see them pushing JL2 to November 1, 2019, especially if JL 1 works next November.

This is me right now
I warned all of you a week or two ago!
And even last page..
Watching people come to the realization of who wrote the article has been amazing. We just need Mayimbe to recycle the George Miller/Superman rumor to complete the cycle.
Why? There's a reason they don't have a date for Batman because even the script isn't done. Why have another SS on their hands and move into production before they are happy with the script.
October is Oscar season
Haha, no, really, If Affleck is aiming for the low key approach to Bman, it makes sense to launch it on october and not the crowded summer.

19 of 25. Have to watch again.
It would have been nice to keep them all but ultimately nothing of great value was lost.
Yeah but the joker does love Harley, in his own way. The purple man does not care for Jessica.

The movie works as is, but would probably be even better with the added scenes.
Hopefully Squad gets the ultimate cut treatment.

Batman sells in any month. All we've got is those dates, so that's what I'm working with in terms of slotting it. Warner Bros needs a strong Batman film as a studio and they need it ASAP.
Live By Night got a big jump forward to this January (probably limited December release for awards consideration considering it's October 2018 date was for that very reason). I think it got moved cause Ben will be filming Batman and won't be able to do the Oscar campaigning needed for Live By Night. He wraps Justice League in October, continues preproduction/script work on Batman while Oscar campaigning end of this year/start of next year. Filming starts at some point next summer.
Damn it. Just let us Superman fans feel good for a few hours ):
This is true lolpeople calling this a 'MoS sequel/MoS 2' is gonna be a real pet peeve because BvS is Man of Steel 2. ffs
The title is totally "Man of Tomorrow" though
Should be Superman: something something...
It's like Sony releasing a movie called "The Web Slinger."
Then again, worked flawlessly for The Dark Knight.
I really dont think WB's primary goal is doubling down on what everyone else didnt like.

He is da gawd, but Superman needs another look regardless.
Zack's gonna be exhausted anyway. The only DC movie that should potentially be on his plate for the foreseeable future is JL2.

I´ll never stop getting hyped for more DC (as goes for Marvel, Fox etc) comic book movies. I might be disappointed some times. But what is a world without hope. They will stumble, they will fall. But in time, we will join them in the sun Gaf.
I liked MoS and BvS:Ultimate Edition ¯\_(ツ_/¯

Got them all with 4 min to spare. I'm surprised at how well the lines stuck with me. One quibble though, the "halo" line doesn't follow immediately after the prompt but several scenes later. [Pro-Tip to speed up your time, realizing that the lines are ordered alphabetically.]

Hopefully a little less Superman is Jesus this time around, and a little less of this:
And a lot more of this:

I've been meaning to give him his props. He's awesome in the ultimate cut.
Would be cool to see a costumed return for him.
But if he returns, people can't hold one murder against Batsy

Btw, Squad has to be one of the harder PG-13's out there. Never heard shit, bitch, and pussy so much in a PG-13.

ass smacking, BET Uncut, pimp Joker, sexist Jokes, and Harley's provocative nature all around. Joker's cut scenes probably pushed it to an R.
I just got out of Suicide Squad, and fuck me, I thought film was savaged by somebody. Everything from the script, to the costumes, to the action sequences, to even the character depictions was well thought out and spot on. This is exactly what a Suicide Squad story should be, but why does it move faster than people racing a one hundred meter dash? Jeez, the first hour is supposed to be some good setup yet I feel its relegated to quips and character moments that fell flat because the scenes weren't transitioning smoothly.
The characters are written well. Very well and the flashbacks are all solid scenes. They're badly placed and the licensed music is out of place. Very out of place. Maybe it's cuz I watched BvS yesterday and I'm spoiled by the polish of that movie but SS feels so damn sloppy. It isn't until the bar scene where I feel the movie starts hitting its stride. That's what it should have been all along.
More thoughts later but it really does like a 6/10 movie. There's a solid script here and somebody fucked it up. Whether it's WB getting cold feet or Ayer switching shit up to please Marvel drones, someone messed it up. This movie could have been great. Everything was there.

Saw Suicide Squad the other day, and liked it, which is a little disappointing to me because I wanted to love it , firstly I'm still not sold on this Joker he comes off as a punk and the scene with common was extremely cringe worthy, there where other scenes where I liked him though like the butcher scene, so I hope its actually a case of cut scenes really screwing his performance and that he can actually deliver an awesome Joker, hope they at least give us deleted scenes in the home release to see more of his performance, the movie really lacked cool action moments for Boomerang, Katana and Deadshot imo, like the scene where Deadshot kills a bunch of bad guys atop the police car could have been more flashy, El Diablo's special effects were really bad and I agree with the notion that the character suddenly going
felt forced, I really liked the profile intros they gave the characters that was awesome and the music was good though it could be a little on the nose sometimes
I really hope we get a sequel cuz the cast is solid and they all did a great job, they just need a better story and
next time. also did Eastwood
this is my family

His DC stuff has largely been right. Especially now that he's purposely not dealing with story spoilers. I believe he said him stopping that has allowed him more access. I think he was among the group that invited out to the Justice League set as well so he's in the good graces of those at WB, etc.
As for how Superman should be there is no reason to tone down his power level. I want Superman to be Superman power wise. He can be that and have more of the personality and character interactions that are more classic superman now that he's matured as a character and person. I don't want him weakened to Thor levels or even Hulk levels and I certainly don't want him just lifting things ala Superman Returns. When he's fighting someone near his power I want shit being destroyed, be it the environment or buildings if it can't be helped. Man of Steel showcased how powerful and destructive a Superman would be in a city. That's accurate to the comics and cartoons. That's not something to shy away from. If people have a problem on that front then to bad. This is Superman we're talking about here.

Happy comic superman not breaking enough necks to suit your tastes?
For real. The dialogue was good. It has Ayer's touch all over it.
The last one is a little too sappy... GAF still tears that quote about love in Interstellar even though it's infallible (you know, love unlike atomic matter, is bound by the unified quantum theory...)
I want both. And with Johns, you'll get your wish. Especially if he wants Superman to inspire hope. Cavill is an extremely charming individual, he's not even being used to his strengths yet.
Just got back from seeing Suicide Squad.
I enjoyed it; I went in with measured expectations and got a solidly entertaining action flick as a result. Not a life changer of a film by any stretch of the imagination, but not the affront to the art of cinema some outlets were pushing it as.
The opening is a little too scattered for its own good (and the most obvious moments of executive meddling), but the character vignettes themselves were enjoyable at least.
The antagonist was a little weak -
Smith as Deadshot, Robbie as Quinn, and Courtney as Boomerang were highlights. Would've like a few more chances for the individual members of the squad to shine. Viola Davis was incredible as Amanda Waller.
So, yeah, I liked it. Not going to even bother posting this summary in OT. Comic book movies are serious business.
Edit: some of the faster paced action shots were a little hard to follow, but that was mostly down to the fact the cinema was packed with people and so I was sitting in the first row, craning my neck up at the screen. Not the most comfortable way to watch a film.

Heck, I even enjoyed the brief shots of Batman doing typical Batman stuff.
The antagonist was a little weak -
the brother (whose name I can't even recall) was basically dumb muscle, while Enchantress was okay, if underdeveloped.
I honestly didn't mind Leto's Joker; didn't entirely sell me on him with the low screen time, but it seemed a decent enough effort. I've read enough comics with the Joker in them over the years to find room for this interpretation to exist.
