What do you mean, friend?
I feel it's only right that I show up in this thread when I'm on The NeoGAF. We are beginning a whole new universe of Batman movies. These are exciting times.

Still got a while to go before that.

It'll be at least two years for the Batman solo movie...
Man of Steel =
Justice League =
You're gonna get jokes a minute and you're gonna like it.

14 months man, I'll be playing God of War and maybe FFVII remake before then.
Btw. did you like Uncharted 4?
What did you see?

The trailer probably.
I didn't even know this happened.
Edit:
That looked alright. Not really a trailer though. Aquaman looks like one mean motherjubber. It makes me wonder what kind of movie it's going to be. It's an early look so not representative of the final product, but I'm hoping this implies that it's more of an intimate movie rather than a bombastic extravaganza. Maybe the villain threat is something that's smaller scale that isn't in the face of the public. I'd like that. Give it a bit of a horror bent.
Although I'm sure that's not happening.

And then Cavill teased a black suit as well.
Maybe that's just them deceiving people, and then he'll show up in the actual movie with a beard.
It's possible. I mean,
he was buried. You have to come back out of the dirt rocking a new look.

El Maybe also said on Periscope that Hal Jordan is definitely showing up in Justice League and that Ares will show up in Wonder Woman looking for the Sword of Alexander.
Periscope here if anyone's interested.

Justice League is going to have a quick turn around from Filming ->Post -> Release, unlike BvS which was pushed back a year.
I feel the tighter schedule will work in it's favor, leaving less time available for second guessing and mucking things up like what happened with Suicide Squad.

I've been thinking for a while the the giant twist in Justice League will be a Green Lantern reveal in the final act. Not to put too much stake in El Mambimbo's rumours, but I would not be surprised if he is right about that one.
There was also that bit during the panel where someone from the crowd yelled out "Green Lantern" and Ezra turned his head like he knew something.

Before that. Steppenwolf is the villain right? They're gonna need help to defeat him. Green Lantern shows up in a mid-credits scene and warns them that they won the battle, but haven't won the war.
I just sat through that whole thing. I enjoyed it immensely. I don't know much about his track record but the way he talks makes me want to believe everything he says. He says he cannot and will not ever break a false story again while at the Wrap so...I will believe.
Also he doesn't say GL will be in JL 1. He says that GL will be the 7th member. Could be in JL2
Shorter than BvS but they will still have around a year, which is a pretty long post time no?
If this happens it will 100% be spoiled before we all see the movie and that is going to suck
lol
I just looked at Suicide Squad's reviews, and it got roasted. Rough year. At least it's made a lot of money from the looks of it. That'll be some consolation for them.
No coma. I'm pretty healthy.Oh my god Verendus where have you been? You sound like you were put into coma for months
GAF tends to be my source for these kind of things as I'm usually too busy to bother otherwise. Most people don't keep up with this kind of stuff. I'm no different. I'm a normal, and real, boy.
Edit:
Hold on a second. I haven't seen Suicide Squad, and intend to eventually. It's Will Smith in a blockbuster again. Do folks post spoilers freely in here, or is everyone using spoiler tags in general when discussing the movies?
What's the etiquette? Gotta know if I should stay away.
We tend to wait a few weeks before we start posting spoilers freely. We also haven't discussed SS all that much as of late so you can chill here for awhile.
On the contrary, we just had a whole debacle about spoilers with Suicide Squad, and I just read some legit ones earlier in this thread. Someone mentioned there are no spoiler tags after a movie comes out. Not sure what we decided upon.

I don't think it did well enough to do that. Warner may enjoy the money but they know the vibe that the DCEU has right now. Supposedly the movie needs to make like 800million anyway to make a profit.

Can always tell the movie's doing well when the box office fanboys have nothing to say.
Nah... I thought it was really cool though.
It is where it is in spite of crap reviews and bad press. Who knows where it would be had it just gotten the same pass some other bullshit movies get.

I think the consensus will end up being if they didn't meddle and let their directors do their thing, they could have made a good 300-500 million more at the box office between both films.
Movie isn't going to clear GotG's numbers when it easily should have by now. The spanking it got in reviews plus the lower returns than anticipated will have WB's attention. We're the fanboys in here and I don't even think half of us liked it all that much. They'll learn something from it but there's no telling it was the right lesson. But between this and the BvS UC hopefully one of the lessons learned is let the director make their movie. Or stop hiring directors that aren't suited for four quadrant films.
Well besides the little incident with Harley we haven't discussed SS as much.
That 800 million number seems kinda bogus to me, but I'm with you on the rest. WB has to have gotten the message that the studio cuts of these movies have hurt their overall quality. Whether it means less executive meddling is anyone's guess.
If you subtract GotGs China numbers SS is doing pretty on par with it. Still, honestly it should be doing Deadpool numbers.

You guys better be ready for Wonder Woman. It will be no different. We'll know beforehand anyway. If the review embargo is like 2 days before release, then you have permission to cry.

In some ways, Warner Bros just needs to go radio silent on their DC projects until early next year. Don't even talk about them, hopefully it will drop them out of the constant blog coverage cycle.

I already have my lotion and towels ready.
Honestly? At this point I've already accepted that if there is going to be a "DCEU 2.0: We've finally got our shit together"- it won't really be until Flash and Aquaman.
So what do we want from a Suicide Squad sequel?
It's a weird one because the problem for many seem to be story/pacing and probably one of the easier things to fix.
I liked most of the actors in their roles so on-board with the cast, but gonna need the villain announcement upfront.
