The DCEU Is Dead So Isn't It Time For A New Direction?

[The Laughing Fish]

What's next? Actors not getting paid for their work in the movie? Judging by this pathetic excuse for a corporation's conduct recently, I wouldn't put it past them.

And so, that guess of mine appears to be spot on. Nick McKinless, who played the younger Ares in JL, not only didn't get credit for his work - it's claimed he didn't get paid either.

So, Warner announced nobody for their upcoming movies will be making an appearance at Hall H for this year's SDCC, on the the same day that god awful teaser poster for the WW sequel. The cynic in me suspects this was done to distract people from the news over DC's lack of presence at Comic Con.

Meanwhile, the Swamp Thing show has already been cancelled after just debuting its debut season on the DC Universe app.

Now just like the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut tag erupted after JL's theatrical cut was released, the #SaveSwampThing tag has erupted following that news.

Oh, I've been hearing rumours of a Supergirl movie in development - even suggesting production could get started next year. So, we have no new Superman movieis on the horizon, but there's a better chance his cousin will hit the big screen? The way Hollywood has been going recently, I expect if Supergirl goes get made, it will consist of heavy-handed feminist propaganda that will alienate male audiences.

Warner Butchers, and perhaps their parent company AT&T need a f***ing good kick up the ass. Just stop making DC content, you incompetent deceitful hacks.

I'm still annoyed by the TV show. Fans of it don't seem to realize that like 90% of the characters, storylines, subplots, concepts and so forth are jacked straight out of various Superman comics. She'll probably get killed by Doomsday at some point.

A cisgender, sexist, alt-right Doomsday, of course.

I've only seen three episodes of Supergirl: the pilot, the first crossover with the Flash and Superman's first appearance. which was nothing more but an over-the-top Donner love letter. The show never appealed to me, but I'm disappointed to hear it has jumped on the SJW bandwagon. But then again, I stopped watching the Arrowverse midway the Invasion crossover because of time and lack of motivation, so maybe all the shows have gotten worse.

At this stage, Superman's last movie appearance was that dumb headless cameo scene in Shazam, and it looks unlikely he'll return any time soon.

I've been championing WB allowing the DCEU to extend outside of a MCU-like cinematic continuity for awhile now, so yeah, I would be on board for that. It's clear that WB has absolutely ZERO faith in their properties, and then you throw in WB's ZERO patience program, and the recipe for disaster was clearly unavoidable.

DC's animated movies, that's been going since, what, 2007? Have instituted this approach with little to no confusion. I think the general audiences that attend theater showings could easily accept this approach as well. If anything, the continuous state of reboots/remakes/revivials ect over the years have, if anything, trained movie goers to accept different continuities/approaches in franchises. Let the MCU keep it's shared universe, WB should allow DC to exploit their Extended universe.

But this is WB we are talking about. Having the backs of people they put in charge isn't, and hasn't been in their character historically.

Now I hear, JJ Abrams is going to either direct a DC movie, and/or WB wants him to oversee the DCEU now?

Haha! Think real hard about that one, JJ. You better have a plan, and even if you do, your role as director/overseer better do MCU numbers right off the bat, or you're getting kicked to the curb. We already know what the online critic communities inclination is.

An angry mob needs to form, gather some torches and pitch forks, and run JJ Abrams out of town.

An angry mob needs to form and burn Warner to the ground. Mission Impossible director Christopher McQuarrie revealed he delivered a proposal for a Green Lantern movie AND a pitch for a MOS sequel together with Henry Cavill two years ago, but Warner turned both ideas down. Not only did he suggest both proposed movies were to be connected (obviously set in the DCEU), but he gave a rather damning description of Warner's attitude: "The studios have never cared for my original ideas. They prefer that I fix their broken ones."

I saw these comments on his Twitter account, but he deleted them soon after. My only guess why he decided to remove them was maybe he regretted doing so after he got caught up in the heat of the moment, and didn't want to face any conflict with Warner behind closed doors. Well, too late. He shared what he experienced with the world, and I for one am glad he did. It reaffirms my lack of confidence in that company once again.

I heard a fan suggesting Warner had rejected McQuarrie's proposals because they wanted to get payback over Cavill's mustache clause while filming MI: Fallout, and were forced to try to CGI it out in those damn reshoots. Well then maybe they should've delayed the film's release and wait for Cavill to finish filming Fallout before undergoing those reshoots. Or better yet, they shouldn't have tried to tamper with JL in the first place and release what Snyder was making.

Instead, the Snyder cut is still locked away from the public and Superman and Green Lantern's future cinematic prospects are dim. Way to go, Warner Butchers!

I hate to break it to you, but Abrams signed a multi million dollar deal with WarnerMedia the other day. He's not going anywhere.

According to that ditz Grace Randolph, she heard a rumour that Abrams is in talks with the hacks over making a Superman movie:

I'm hearing that #JJAbrams and #WarnerBros are having a "conversation" about him doing a #Superman movie...

It might be #DCEU movie, it might be a stand alone "Elseworlds" style movie - basically whatever will get him to do it.

Seems #WB refuses to learn from their mistakes...

I got a better idea, how about stop making DC movies altogether?

If true, WB also refuses to learn Paramount's mistakes. And Disney's mistakes too.

I haven't trusted JJ since Trek '09.
