Today a big leak broke out about the potential slate of DC films that WB plans to produce. Here they are and I am going to give my examination of each project.
May 2016 – Batman v Superman
Since this is both confirmed and the project has already started film I am not going to spend too much time on it. If WB/DC decides to do a panel than we will probably see some photos and some clips of the movie and we'll get a panel if we are lucky. That's to say if they even go this year since last year it was a WB press conference and not a DC panel that this movie was originally announced at plus people have been really mad at them and have been making fun of them for the last long while so they might not want to come in fear it will turn into a slaughter fest.
July 2016 – Shazam
This movie was announced about being developed a long while ago and it might actually come out and if it does it will not be in the summer of 2016. A movie takes time, especially a good movie. You need to work on the script, hire a director, hire actors, crew, work out the budget, film, edit and a lot of other stuff. This movie probably isn't even in pre-production yet so it is nowhere near going to be ready in time for 2016. There are rumors this will not be apart of the DC cinematic universe.
Xmas 2016 – Sandman
This one probably will happen and has the highest possibility of happening because they already announced a long time ago that Joseph Gordon Levitt will be directing and staring in this movie and the script has been in the works for a long time. I have never read Sandman and could give a damn about it but I do hear it's really good so this will be interesting. This will not be about of the DC cinematic universe
May 2017 – Justice League
We already knew this was coming and the reported slate is that the team will be Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Flash, Green lantern and Aquaman. What intrigues me more than the movie itself is the fact that May 2017 is the same month an unannounced Marvel Movie is supposed to happen.... way to act petty DC.
July 2017 – Wonder Woman
PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE! I never believed the theory that female superhero movies won't make money, the only reason they bomb is because they are all bad movies and were marketed horribly. A Wonder Woman movie could be awesome especially done right, and could be a game changer for DC.
Xmas 2017 – Flash and Green Lantern team-up
This one I am kind of split on, I can understand the reasoning behind this if it is true but I would not want to go see this movie. To me team up movies should be special and I like solo adventures, I like seeing these characters on their own. Yet I can understand after the mega bomb that was Green Lantern you would not instinctively give this guy his own movie again but it would be better to reboot the franchise if he had his own movie. Flash can hold up a movie as well as he does has one of the best rogue's gallery second to Batman and Spider man. Whether this will be a new flash or a flash from the upcoming TV show is ambiguous.
May 2018 – Man Of Steel 2
This is the thing that makes me shake my head, forsaking my opinion on man of steel this makes me sigh that it will take five years for a superman movie sequel to come out so it can fix the problems of the original when half the cast probably would not want to return or are too old to return. I hope this one isn't true because it points to the big problem with the people handling the DC cinematic universe showing the full lack of understanding and incompetence. And I don't want to see that I want my flash movie, I want my Wonder Woman movie, I want my Teen titans movie, I just want a fun DC movie.
So there are my thoughts, tomorrow 22 Jump Street, Awesome!
