yuuup
I'm legitimately excited to see JDM and Maggie as Flashpoint Batman and Joker
Plus, with rumors that WW is in, this is sounding more like a JL sequel than a Flash solo film

It'll be like Civil War, I think. Absolutely a Flash story, but still containing appearances from the rest of the league.
So...continuity fuckery? Got it.
And yeah, people are gonna be pissed when all that changes is that Clark Kent never died in the Doomsday incident. lol
That's all fine and dandy, but as The Flash's first movie? Ehhhh.
Exactly this.
Before The Flash:Flashpoint was announced, it was looking like Zemeckis wouldn't be able to make the film in the timeframe we thought WB wanted. Now it's perfect.
Batman using pistols baby!!

I wonder if WB will go through with making Wonder Woman as evil as she is in Flashpoint, she did some pretty messed up things in that story.

The best surprise they can pull off is to not recast JDM as Thomas Wayne.
That will be one heck of a surprise.

If anyone is interested in watching the animated Flashpoint movie, it's free to watch on The CW Seed and The CW's app.

JDM would be a sure thing if Zack were involved.

Looks like they're filming a rooftop chase with Mera for Aquaman.

Judging by the big blue sheet in the background (on the left), and the fact those look like Atlantean soldiers, I'd guess the final version is gonna be underwater. Or in Atlantis, at any rate.
I don't think a chase scene like that would be underwater...
Finally, the Assassin's Creed Unity movie I've been waiting for

Yeah, if it was a underwater chase they wouldn't need to stand on anything really, they would be in a swimming position of some sorts...
I doubt they'd follow the animated movie/comics, I can't see people being very happy with a kill happy Wonder Woman stabbing kids.

What, you were just... Thinking you can have a happy family and coach little leagues, and make car payments? Normal's a setting on the dryer. People like us, we don't get normal!
Supes should be first, but otherwise I really dig this.

I saw some of the Justice League toys at Walmart earlier.
I might get the new Batmobile at some point. Not sure if I'll get anything else here. I already have the whole "deluxe" DC Multiverse Steppenwolf wave of figures, so I'm not interested in the regular "basic" figures...though they do appear to be much nicer than the Batman v Superman ones.
I like to think of them displaying The Trinity in alphabetical order so as not to cry on the inside.

we expecting JL to hit a billion? I think it could if Gadot+Affleck are the faces of the movie.
If not then 900M WW i'd say

If it's received well, it will definitely hit a billion. If not then, $750M WW.

I think if it shits itself and gets like a 10% on RT it would still clear 750WW.
Will be highest grossing superhero movie of the year (worldwide). Dunno about a billion though. seems like only the select ones get that. Either involving Tony Stark or something with as much hype behind it as the nolan batman series.
if it aint Justice League then I don't think anything else in this genre clears a billion until Infinity War.

$800M floor, $1.1B ceiling.

I expected WW to clear $600m and it's gonna do $800m so imma say $800m for JL.

Hmm. I feel like the RT score is gonna either make or break the JL's BO number.
This is where I'm at. I have no idea how it's going to be received. I just hope I like it.
Agree on the floor, I think the ceiling is a bit higher though. Around $1.2-1.3B.
The comic con trailer has been extremely well received, opening weekend should be big.
Considering how people do not feel Superman's sacrifice was unearned I look forward to people complaining about the previous films never showed Superman in a positive light for them to feel his sacrifice was deserved. Source: look at the comic con thread.

$750M to $1B. Gotta remember exchange rates are down.
Y'know, that dumb bit about Superman not being hopeful enough in the previous movies to justify that line from Bruce really put into perspective the false narratives being built up in people's heads about these films. You can provide a wealth of evidence to the contrary, and some crap like that is still going to emerge. It's like some people watch these movies only to satisfy an agenda or something.

Although I don't agree entirely with people's criticism of Superman I can understand where they're coming from relating to the "Superman was a beacon of hope" line. It's more of a matter of wording I think..
During the BvS events we can't really say he was a "beacon" of anything considering how divisive people felt about him.
He wasn't exactly beloved by everyone, and Zack clearly lingered more on the people who hated/didn't trust Supes aspect ( False God scene, protesters at the congress scene, the failed hearing, does the world need a superman scene, clark watching a woman on the tv defaming him).
Sure there were people who liked him, but it wasn't nowhere near consensual, supes wasn't an america's sweetheart per se.
Although I think his sacrifice is the beginning of Superman's rise to his iconic status
