GQ. Some random Navy SEAL.
I think those Aquaman rumors can be debunked... they aren't filming this year.
JK Simmons just said:
And The Wrap is reporting The Crow begins production in January.
So Momoa is not ready to film AM in between, and last word around ComicCon was James Wan wasn't done with the script either.

Damn, JK already done.
Small part.
There was no way he was going to be prominently featured in the JL movie. It'll be a nice idea of what to expect in the Batfleck movie.
What did he mean by this?

Thats pretty nuts The Flash only has a year and a half left and it hasnt filmed yet.
I suppose its been in preproduction for 2 years already tho so its okay

so Mel Gibson doesn't like BvS, oh well.

To be honest I doubt he likes any of these movies. Maybe tdk (or not). A movie like BvS would definitely put off somebody already turned off by the genre

One thing nobody can take away from the DCEU, it generates conversation. We'll still be seeing Man of Steel and Batman v Superman threads in the OT 5 years from now.

Inane conversation. Those man of Steel threads were just constant retreads every month. And its looking like the same for BvS
And that includes some of the conversation being moved to the chat!

Yeah, I'd say.
Some asshole even made a thread calling BvS a masterpiece. Weird people.

Things Mel Gibson hates:
- Jews
- BvS
So at least Batman v Superman is in good company.
Batman and Superman were created by Jews so probably.
I doubt Mel has seen BvS. It's hard to believe he has that much distaste for the genre and willingly sat down to watch a 3 hour version of that especially when the word on BvS was so negative.
Anyways, it's time to add Mel to that ever growing list of directors mad at superhero movies haha.

I can't imagine he's seen any of the movies.
If any, he could've been suckered into seeing Man of Steel after the Superman sermon marketing. Mel even uses the Jesus as the original superhero language from it.

Lol I wonder what the church audience will think of the death and ressurection of superman. Or the worship he elicits in BvS
My Grandma hates and it's one of the reasons why she likes the Marvel movies and characters more so than BVS.
The whole pondering god thing leaned hard into the reasons people hate Superman and Snyder even fucked that up.

Eh I think it's one of the more interesting things they've done in this genre. A character like superman is bound to have that sort of influence on those around him.
Thor completely handwaves the elephant in the room and I hate that. He's left with nothing interesting to say about him

This is pretty cool. Seems like they put the extra effort to these little details.

well Marvel just played as safe as possible by turning the Norse gods into advanced aliens. ugh, terrible decision.
Warners swapped out The Flash from its March 2018 release slot and put Tomb Raider in its place. The Flash is currently 'unscheduled' for sometime in 2018.
I'd also say that Warner seems to give longer lead times than most.
Like Spider-man is out in under a year and still filming. I believe it may have even started after Justice League.
Also, it seems like Booster Gold movie may not be part of the DCEU proper.

Dumb.
I suppose this could change but it seems a little weird. Maybe WB/Berlanti just want to do their own thing (a light hearted action/comedy a'la The Mask) and don't want to feature 'the distant future' in the DCU at the moment.
Presumably this means that this project doesn't feature Blue Beetle after all.
There had been suggestions that Shazam wouldn't have any direct links to the rest of the DCU but would only have very loose associations (Superman on TV etc, etc??) with the other characters in the cineverse. Could this be the same?
Maybe...., this means that Booster, if successful, could lead a 'fractured' part of the DCU which, if they ever do the Crisis storyline, could come back into play down the line....,
-- or none of those things.
I'm fine with movies being standalone adventures. I mean nothing says everything needs to connect.
Also charity video from the set of Justice League, of course Jason is shirtless!

No doubt. But I doubt either film will be all that enjoyable to watch.
Maybe justice league. Depends if it's not a mess.

Is it bad that I'm not that upset? Booster and Lobo are the two movies that I cared about the least. As long as Shazaam is still on track I'm okay.
I just think it's dumb to not connect them at all. Like, will they at least be in the same universe for future movies? You don't need alot, one scene at the end with someone trying to recruit him is all I need
He's from the future right? I guess if the movie takes place in the future it's ok. But I thought his whole premise is he comes to present day?

Standalone or not, it'll connect eventually unless it's a failure.
Like Shazam, I never once thought they'd cast The Rock and not have him in the universe.

Yeah, I don't see why you wouldn't have Booster in the DCEU. Otherwise he's really got no purpose. Like the Flash, he's a driving force when it comes to time travel/paradoxes and whatnot. A standalone would be for all 12 of his fans, and no one else.
I think a lot of people assume a Cinematic Universe movie has to be done the Marvel way, with tons of character crossover, connecting stories etc. IMO a good CU movie is one that's connected but not reliant on the universe. It wasn't good, but even Thor 2 did this iirc.
No reason to not have any connective tissue whatsoever though. That just sounds lazy

Holy shit Affleck and Fisher looked like they were forced to do this.

Affleck definitely wants to peace out and sleep. I'm imagining it's the end of a day of filming; Affleck's got his Bruce Wayne wig on.
They should just do it like comics where there is a shared universe, but the solo comics remain solo comics. You don't even get a hint that other heroes exist sometimes. It's focused solely on the hero or heroes on the cover.

Affleck realized he's contracted for like 10 of these movies and Ray Fisher just found out cyborg was cancelled lol

I hope he's getting paid RDJ money for this tho. He's practically the backbone of the universe going forward and now is directing/writing one of the movies too. Give him points on the box office.
I'm sure that he's being well taken care of.
