JGP Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 @RumHam DC never made an official announcement that I recall. Especially after Ezra put mental health on the table. I can't even imagine the contractual mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you mean actually cancelling the flash movie's release. The reporting on the HBO Max shows getting pulled says that there's a very narrow window, basically until January or so, when WBD can do this thing where they just pull the plug on something and can get a full write down, which will have the effect of their expense sheet for the quarter looking better. So... yeah, very good odds they just ditch the film entirely and take the write down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveSumm Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Imagine Keaton returned as Batman in TWO films and we never saw either of them. Fucking hell DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 "Since The Dark Knight Trilogy", you say?!? Bold words my friend. Bold. Words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Seriously, since James gunn has been in a clapping-back mood of late, he might want to get these clowns on a conference call and tell them to lay off the, "since TDK trilogy" malarkey. This is beyond parody at this point. On 12/17/2022 at 2:42 PM, Derfel Cadarn said: William Shatner took time to mention Cavill on twitter Boy howdy, does it ever.

DaveSumm Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 So is the assumption that they’ve wrangled this Flash movie into something that reboots and launches the Gunniverse? Despite it being filmed before that was the case? So it’s gonna be a heavily edited mess isn’t it… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGP Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I still don't understand the decision to not turf it for the write down. Some distance between the veer would've been the better path, imo. Now the Flash is going to stir up the shit again. Should we get a friendly betting pool going, I got it maybe eeks 450 to 490 mil world wide. A huge loss right there, and it'll also complicate the softboot. What the fuck are they thinking lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they think its the right business decision. There's also considerably more star power in this film than in Batgirl. It is entirely possible it'll cost them more vis-a-vis those guys to turf it. 'Remember what happened with WW84? There were contract clauses that guaranteed Gadot and Jenkins $10 million bonuses each if the film crossed a billion. With the simultaneous streaming release and most of the western world in lockdown during Christmas of '20, there was no hope of that happening. They ended up just getting paid to avoid a lawsuit. They made out like fucking bandits. The real question is why is marketing kicking into gear for The Flash while Shazam 2, out in 2 months, crickets. I didn't care much for the first film and I don't intend on seeing this one, but holy shit are those guys getting screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made out like fucking bandits. Maybe. Still cheaper than the loss they’re going to eat on release after the various rehabs. Might be the brass even thinks they can skimp on marketing [cause Ezra] or the push is yet to come. Even a possibility they decide not to market it much at all. The Snyderbros will go just to have something to complain about, it’ll largely be seen as a stupid business decision. Maybe there’s an outlier where releasing the Flash somehow makes the softboot look fantastic in comparison, but I can’t imagine where that’d be the predominant perception.

So it’s gonna be a heavily edited mess isn’t it… They were kind of using it as a reboot anyway, one change being the replacement of Affleck with Keaton. Guessing they’re now doing an even bigger reset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvinus85 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Titans and Doom Patrol have been cancelled, which unfortunately is not a surprise. Both shows' current seasons are on hiatus and it's unclear when they will return. I'm only watching DP our of the two. The showrunners did see the writing on the wall, though, so these final seasons may have a satisfying conclusion. Meanwhile, I wonder how much longer Superman & Lois will stay on the air. Season 3 is due to come in March and recently it was announced that Michael Cudlitz will play Lex Luthor in the upcoming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
