Zatanna will be the Harley Quinn of JLD/Dark Universe. Constantine will be the Deadshot. Assuming there aren't big changes by the time it happens.
Even some of the upper echelon villains had dramatic reinventions in comics. Like how the Lex Luthor everybody thinks of is Byrne's Lex. Folks were upset about Joker in The Dark Knight being a departure from clown crime boss, until they weren't. There's a lot of wiggle room.

I would just prefer to have her in the monster universe (if that ever comes to fruition) and the batman universe side than have her in wonder woman. It always depends on the execution of course, maybe someone will come up with a perfect plot device to present what you described.
I really hope they don't call that movie Justice League Dark or Dark Universe.
You can't tell me they can't come up with a better name for a team of magic heroes. Call it "Shadowpact" or "Zatanna and the Sentinels of Magic." Hell, steal the name "Outsiders." The "Dark" names are just too plain for me.

Justice League Dark needs to happen so that Swamp Thing can finally get the recognition he deserves
Honestly what I thought the beginning of Age of Ultron was gonna be or even Civil War, but kind of nope to both.
Ironically, it is the beginning of Suicide Squad except those villains then become the main characters of the movie.
Slightly on the topic of female heroes, I'm calling Mera being the breakout character of Aquaman. Arthur will probably have his moment in JL, but I can see people walking out of his movie thinking Mera is the best character.
That's assuming, of course, that she gets a significant role and they do her hydrokinesis well.

"What, we some kinda....Justice League Dark?"
"We're like the Justice League, just a little....darker."
Guarantee that line, almost word for word, is in every trailer.

Shadowpact is a much better name even if it's not inline with DC's typical branding of the team.
She's got a pretty substantial role in Aquaman. And I think Amber Heard did some sword training for JL, so we might see something there.
With how Wan and others have described Aquaman, movie sounds like it'll be Arthur and Mera coming from different places (literally and metaphorically) and bonding over the course of the adventure.

Queen! is the breakout in whatever she is in!
Mini thingie, but to this day not sure why folks had issue with that line in Suicide Squad, but no qualms with Guardians or The Avengers being named in the movie in a somewhat similar manner.

I'm still super curious how they're gonna have the Atlanteans talk underwater. Will it be telepathic using some kind of sound waves like whales/dolphins do? Will they just talk with their mouths and ignore the fact there's water everywhere and it doesn't just block all the sound? Can't wait to see how they handle all these technical hurdles too.
Well the water and stuff is all CG. I expect them just talking underwater

A two hour movie of Aquaman gurgling under water would be a superior film compared to Ant-Man, so why not?
Well I know it's CG water, I'm just saying "in universe" how are they going to approach it? If they do a telepathic route (like how they portray Aquaman is able to "talk" to fish) and we just hear their dialog but their mouths aren't moving, would the audience buy that? Would it be boring?
EDIT - Or a better example... If say, Batman goes underwater with them, he would just hear weird sounds (if he hears anything at all), but the movie audience would hear real words.
But what about Oscars?
JL is going to need to make big money though, isn't it's budget around $200M?

Wan is not Snyder so not likely. I think Snyder had about the same time of shooting as Aquaman, maybe 2 or 3 weeks more and he brought the Comic-Con footage. I am only expecting cast photos, tbh.
A poster and maybe a short teaser.

100% locked. They already showed a behind the scenes thing at Cinema Con. We're at least getting that if not more.
I'm gonna say 100%. My Comic Con predictions are...
- Aquaman footage screened for Hall H that will leak out potato cam style later
- Justice League scene or new trailer which will go live to the world after the debut at Hall H
- Zack showing up for the panel and getting a crazy ovation
- I'm 50/50 on whether Joss will be there, only to not take anything away from Zack and unless they have Batgirl stuff to announce, there's no reason for him to be there
- I think they announce release dates for Sirens, Flash, SS2, The Batman, and surprise us with either Green Lantern or MoS2
- Flash director announced and any other director shifting around also announced.
Fuck yes! That's exactly what I was hoping for.

Likely, I think. It's unknown if Snyder will be there given the news of his loss, but him and co. always show up with a surprise. Last two years we had super early footage of Justice League and Suicide Squad. In 2014, they brought the (unfortunately) never release clip of Batman turning on the signal and Superman showing up in the center, along with the first image of Wonder Woman.
It'll be something small, if anything. At the very least a photo of Black Manta and Ocean Master.
After Suicide Squad blew up, I can't imagine WB will keep anything SDCC exclusive.

WB learned and won't withhold footage from viewers at home.
Yeah, I was thinking to say they'd just release all of it, but since it's so early and the underwater stuff will be pretty CG heavy, it might not be "ready" ready to come out in HD on their official channels yet. Unless they show us mostly above water scenes (like where the Mera photos are) and then really quick shots of underwater stuff.

Warner Bros will just upload anything they show. I think they're past the whole Comic Con exclusive after last year where they uploaded everything they showed.
As for the rest, I think we get some announcements on things that will start filming early next year, maybe some dates for those, and maybe a project announcement or two such as a Man of Steel 2 sequel.
I don't think they'll parade out directors they're not 100% committed to at this point, not after last year.

And when is the Hall H event for DC?

I would assume it's that Saturday along with all the other huge studio showings. So, July 22nd?

Two hopes for the new JL trailer: more WW and Amazons, no Superman.
You know, I'll give Joss Whedon credit for hiding Vision in Age of Ultron trailers.

Please Grodd let WB make the right move and announce Cyborg actually being a Titans movie.
This is definitely the right way to go.

Oof, somehow thought it was June, oh well. At least we have E3 soon.
Edit: Teen Titans would be kinda too smart for WB. You know, having an all teen superhero JL.
It would flop so hard.

I'll say it again: it'll be Cyborg & Metal Men.

I wouldn't be surprised if after WW's success, we get firm dates for Sirens, WW2, and Batgirl at comic-con.
If Warner wants to make waves and erase some bad press, I'd announce a female director for the Flash
I guess we're getting New Mutants, but yeah feel like the whole teenager superhero is an untapped market.

I feel like with Titans, it depends on what you wanna do with it. If you want a mostly sidekick affair, you have to build them up. If you want the Titans original characters, just going straight to the team up movie is your best bet.
You can use Batman's solo to establish either Robin or Nightwing, then use him as the focal point of a team that features Beast Boy, Raven, Starfire, and Blue Beetle.

It would be my first time actively rooting against a black superhero movie getting made
Like, I feel like it would somehow make him worse
