DC will be making an announcement, expected to be called DARK CRISIS, on Wednesday Feb 9th. They released this image ahead of time. Very COIE-ish image.

I see some on reddit speculating DC could be merged with the Consumer Products division, which is who handles licensing.

That would be interesting to have licensing people run the comics. I suppose at some point if they decided DC printing them was not profitable enough they could license the characters out to other companies to print, like Boom, IDW, Dark Horse, etc.

Who knows lol

Batwoman officially canceled at the CW after 3 seasons. Shame. It got a lot better after they got rid of Ruby Rose, and S3 was another improvement over S2.

Not looking good for the chances of Legends of Tomorrow..... I can live without seeing any closure from the "cliffhanger" of Batwoman S3.... but I really want Legends to at least get some episodes to wrap things up (and to see more of Booster Gold).

Lock Jaw 04-29-2022 10:17 PM

Legends of Tomorrow officially canceled after 7 seasons :'(

I can't believe it made it that far, and was honestly on its last legs losing cast members left and right.... but pretty gutted that it won't get a proper conclusion to the cliffhangers or a happy ending for the crew.

Lock Jaw 04-29-2022 10:23 PM

The Flash and Superman and Lois the only CWverse shows left standing.... I don't see Flash lasting beyond its next season, it has also been dropping cast members like flies and also it just isn't very good anymore.....

Ditto on Superman and Lois, they might end it after S3 too just to close the door on the Arrowverse for good. There was some sort of John Diggle spinoff show in development but I highly doubt it actually happens.

the climax of the joker is on par with a few good men for films that have a scene so good it demands to be seen. justifies the film its attached to. its an ok film with one of the greatest scenes ever put to screen.


...and it repels the idea of a sequel...but a musical...well...ok. lets go.

Death of Superman is what got me into comics big time... had comics here and there, but then saw in the newspaper that Superman had died or was going to die and it was like "oh poop I need to see this"

Begged my dad for it and got it.... would then regularly pick up Superman comics at the convenience store (by which I mean my dad would buy them for me)....

The New York Post claims an inside source told the paper that Warner Bros. plans to scrap Batgirl, which was expected to debut on HBO Max. "They think an unspeakable Batgirl is going to be irredeemable," the source said, pointing to the film's alleged reception at test screenings. The news was quickly corroborated by The Wrap and The Hollywood Reporter, though neither outlet claimed it was due to its poor quality. Variety, meanwhile, seemed to put the entire matter to rest: "Studio insiders insist the decision was not driven by the quality of the film or the commitment of the filmmakers, but by the desire for the studio’s slate of DC features to be at a blockbuster scale." The film is estimated to have cost between $70 and $100 million at the time of its cancellation.

Can't imagine spending that much time and money on making a movie and then just saying "nah"

Warner Bros. reportedly shelved Batgirl so that the studio could use the film as a tax write off.

According to Variety, several sources have stated that Warner Bros. Discovery will take a tax write-down on Batgirl, and the recently canceled Scoob! Holiday Haunt, which is "seen internally as the most financially sound way to recoup the costs (at least, on an accountant’s ledger)." However, should Warner Bros. choose to move forward with that strategy, the studio would be unable to monetize Batgirl in the future. This means that Warner Bros. would be prevented from releasing the DC Extended Universe film on streaming or in theaters, as well as selling the film to another studio, at any point down the road.

Imagine if you will a world in which they just say they are cancelling it and then let the collective internet work its magic and save them 30-40 million in advertising.

Lock Jaw 08-03-2022 09:58 AM

I mean I know people who didn't even know they were making a Batgirl movie until now, so that "marketing strategy" will have worked.....

Oh the amount of projects Discovery has canceled since getting ahold of Warner Bros is astounding. They're really taking the axe to a lot of content.

Meanwhile, Ezra Miller continues to work hard to promote the upcoming Flash movie!

Better to release nothing and not damage your image further. The money spent is gone. The opportunity cost of bad films echoing through out time is worse.

Fuck David Zaslav. Batgirl looked good. Made for Love was a great show they left at a cliffhanger. etc. etc. etc.

Marvel will be on like phase 7 or something by the time the rebooted DC gets going.

Also, god damn HBO max is getting a ton of shit.

HBO Max has decided not to go with it. However, unlike the Batgirl movie, there is apparently still the possibility of shopping it to somewhere else. So I think someone is bound to get it, due to the names involved and because it is Batman.

Discovery really putting in quality work right. Its 101 but theyve not missed a step so far. Getting as lean as they can across all of their assets and start getting the debt WB had under control. This stock is a great investment. In ten years this is going to be a very healthy company if they keep doing what theyre doing. Get lean, strategically grow once your debt is handled, then expand. Hopefully they can get some new scripts that wont cost them millions (or start any hilariously bad apps while theyre at it.)

Hard to judge the rumor. His projects are well financed and well marketed so it certainly serves them well. Given his role however we cant surmise anything, good or bad, about him as a visionary.

The key to finding the right guy for the position in question is his grasp on the characters and the cultural perception of those characters. How do you meld who the characters are against who theyre perceived to be in a way that attracts both the initiated and the uninitiated alike.

Couple that with the general perception of "lolDCbad" and its tough for anyone for climb this particular mountain. In all reality DC needs a decade on the shelf for mainstream audiences to forget the stink of the synder run...but thats not in the cards. At all.

Lock Jaw 08-25-2022 09:07 PM

I also don't want DC to "Marvel-ize" where all their movies just become comedies and nothing really feels like a movie you'd want to rewatch wver

Destor 08-25-2022 11:18 PM

I think marvel could stand to be less slapstick itself but DC definitely needs to be able to make pictures that are at least fun. The Nolan trilogy is very serious and very dark but theyre still fun movies. The Donnor Superman may be campy but it was a very fun film. Itll make you smile. Fun doesnt have to mean Airplane.

Pretty much already like that, but with a Flash and Wonder Woman book still being around too.
