They wont ever release an updated slate because there isnt one hahahaha whichever lands wherever
Which actually was the wiser decision.
Like and Marvel runs into this
If a film is a hit doesn't make sense to hold off on a sequel for 4-5 years to complete these phases
And movies are ever-changing products.

You're asking how a Harley-led movie getting a push over Green Lantern?
Like, I love GL, but he's not getting priority over Harley.

didn't we get some sort of confirmation about a Superman movie several months ago?
We did. Both Cavil, his agent, and Amy Adams all mentioned that it's being made. I believe one or all said the script was being worked on. I don't remember which one said it was being accelerated in the schedule. WB also did say that Batman and Superman movies were coming when they originally announced the film slate. Then the Batman film was announced later and then we heard about the Superman film around the time Suicide Squad came out if I'm remembering correctly. So it's coming and likely in 2019 I would guess.
Edit:
Know how we're wondering what will happen to the March 2018 date? You could easily fit a Deadshot solo movie into that slot. Especailly if you make a very isolated story. Think about how Dredd (Karl Urban film) and The Raid takes place in just a single building. I can easily imagine a Deadshot film being done like that and possibly quickly as far as filming goes. It would also be a pretty straight forward story with Deadshot's shooting abilities being the main thing that requires special effects assuming the enemy doesn't have powers. Assuming they have anything at all to move on at this moment.

-side eyes Marvel and their Inhumans movie-
Oh this is an easy one, Suicide Squad almost made as much as Man of Steel and Green Lantern combined
Which would you prioritize?
(That and Superman is being scarified to build the League)

Well I'm seemingly wrong about Ayer never working on another DC project again, though for how long is yet to be seen. I actually don't hate the news like everyone else and it's funny too because I've gone full Junko Enoshima levels of despair in regards to the DCEU. It's nice to feel a little hope again.

Harley, Ivy, and Catwoman are getting their own movie in the DCEU. Fuck what OT thinks. lol
I have to agree with "not having a rock solid schedule is the better idea". On the one hand Marvels' way is nice because you always know what's coming and you know way ahead of time. Not to mention the steadiness of it. On the other hand DC/WB is free to adjust and do whatever they feel is best at almost any given time. It's not like anyone really cares that there be some sort of overarching plot line through all of these movies. They just like the "connected" bit with familiar faces from other movies showing up or being mentioned. Plus, there's more frequent chances for "hype" news because you never really know what WB is cooking up.
No kidding, I'm all for this. An all-female team comic book film? And with some of the most iconic female characters in the DC universe? I'm ready for it to be good.
I will say I think title isn't that great though :/

Isn't he still doing the Orc cop movie right now? Nothing is taking Flash's spot because it was already given to Tomb Raider. The question now becomes what's taking Aquaman's July 27, 2018 date.

Im excited as hell. No boys allowed!
The casting will be all important. I'm in the black Catwoman camp. Halle didnt ruin it forever, do Eartha Kitt justice

It was a long-ish running comic series. It's got built in nerd recognition. It'll play.

I'm drawing a blank there other than Paula Patton who people have brought up.
I wonder who the villain could be for Sirens.
Bane?
Oh right the Netflix Orc Cop thing with Joel Edgerton. I wonder if that already wrapped.
I mean, assuming Sirens is a smaller scale, no villain-shoots-blue-beam-into-the sky, crime flick, I could see it making July 2018 if they start filming next year.

Kerry Washington would be stellar
I dig the news. I think Ayer is a solid director too. I don't know what went wrong with SS but I'm willing to give the guy another chance because the ingredients were all there in SS. The editing screwed with the movie. I just hope that if Ayer shoots action, he gets Snyder on the fucking phone. Jesus Christ almighty. Catwoman better be wrecking fools Arkham Knight style.
This Ivy is fucking gorgeous. I wonder who they REALISTICALLY can hire for the job.

Deadshot as a small John Wick/Accountant type joint would be cool. Free from a lot of the standard comic book movie context -- which is what Suicide Squad promised originally lol.
But I say cancel Bad Boys 3 and put Martin Lawrence in that instead

Not so much a villain, but I can see Riddler playing an antagonistic role in this film. He already has a minor history with the Sirens. And if Leto has nothing better to do (hahahaha of course he doesn't, he rock climbs), have him cause friction within the team. The way people were complaining about Harley still being wrapped around Joker's finger, having her have some conflict with leaving him and having a big screw you Mr. J moment could get some positive reactions.
Even as the biggest Bat/Cat shipper in the world, I find Ivy's casting to be far far more important to nail. She would have to have some damn fine chemistry with Margo Robbie (cause lets face it, they're going to be flirty as hell if WB plays it conservatively, full blown lesbian/bi if WB has the balls)

I really hope Ayer just goes full on girl power with this and adds everyone but the kitchen sink. Bring back Katana, add the Birds of Prey
I want them in the movie damn it, especially Babs...

Just read that Walton Goggins is the villain in Tomb Raider. One step closer to him playing Joker. Just forget Leto. He never existed. Just some no one.

As long as she is a real ginge.
I don't... who knows... foolish hope
But some pros
-Not written by Ayer.
-Doesn't seem to have truncated development cycle (yet)
-Less characters for them to have to juggle
-An already established in-universe character to focus on
-Whatever my feelings on the movie, a lot of the character moments in Squad did land well. The bar scene being the highlight of the movie
Some cons
-He doesn't have much of an eye for action
-Really am afraid to see his design for Catwoman and Ivy
-He is more grit/crime director than this... more buddy-cop/team-up esque movie
His Joker was questionable and everybody else... looked like they were rolling around a chimney
(she is also a very questionable male-gaze chars for many)

I called for Abbie Cornish a while back. I think she and Margot would have good chemistry. Two sexy Aussies.
Let's get Yvonne Strahovski for Ivy. She's sexy, is a good actress, and has done action before.
I don't think I can post it but she did a promotion for SoBe water where she's wearing body paint in the design of leaves. She's practically Ivy right there. Just need to colour her hair.

2018 pls.
#teamfakeginger for me
What?
MOS made 668M and SS made 745M, you back Man of Steel you build the brand. Superman is way more crucial to the DCEU success than some cash grab Gotham Sirens... they haven't even built up the Batman enough and here comes another spinoff taking place in the Batman universe.
If people want Harley, you don't give her a movie, you give them Joker with Harley in a Batman movie.
I have no idea what the narrative and through thread is, but it just sounds like they are throwing crap onto the wall without a focus. Whereas Marvel always had a plan to trend towards the Infinity War, I have no clue what DCEU is leading towards.
I say this as someone who loved BvS and Man of Steel and have had faith in the DCEU until this news.
I would be extremely surprised if DC is doing anything remotely like Marvel, where everything will build to one big event. Maybe they are in the works, but nothing we have seen so far has indicated any kind of plan. They just want to create movies that are successes and happen to take place in the same universe. And to be honest, I dont mind that as long as the movies are good.
Ben looking like a Big Guy again
YES
Bens looking good here.

His "we need to get the script right" line kinda starts to hold less and less water when it's going on a year since he and Johns teased they've been working on something together.
Oh, please don't let Ayer have a large role in designs for Ivy and Catwoman. Consult Wilkerson, Johns, Affleck and then ask Ayer for input. Unless people want gang/street influenced Ivy and Catwoman.

Definitely want Wilkinson guiding the designs. I'll give Suicide Squad some credit. Harley's Debbie Harry look is her best outside the jester suit, and Bancho Katana is her best design.
