itt: consternation and wailing about Zach Snyder's upcoming SUPERMAN/BATMAN film/sequel to MAN OF STEEL -- official title: BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

i'm more and more on board with aquaman in the league - give him a bitchin' magic trident and mamoa's basically surfer thor - but i dunno what they're going to do for his own movie. like, will half of it be underwater?

look on my works, ye mighty, and despair

man if people don't like bats vs supes dc is fuuuuuucked. everything hinges on that being the bee's knees

iirc some of those spideyverse projects are more tentative than that chart suggests, esp now that there's talk of a deal with disney to get Spidey some rejuvenation via Avengers 3

Sony are just begging for Marvel to rescue them at this point

will be sad if we don't get venom & carnage go to white castle

That makes me want to see all of them and then die.

Might skip Aquaman.

may u live 2 see the green lantern: emerald dawn

Pretty sure I read somewhere that Venomcarnage has already been cancelled.

An Agent Venom movie could be fun

oh man, can't wait for unknown movie!

Keep in mind that every Unknown Movie on Marvel's slate is a remake of the previous iteration of Unknown Movie.

did wolverine 2 already happen and i missed it?

just give up on the fantastic four ffs

assuming origins: wolverine is "wolverine 1" and "the wolverine" is "wolverine 2"

hearing that to the tune of "bbc one, bbc two" from Austin Powers. A good Fantastic Four movie would be wonderful but it's basically hopeless to expect one, it'd be so far off from the superhero template at this point. Basically looking for something halfway between Barbarella and Solaris.

has anyone mentioned goyer's apparent new tv series "krypton" or are we just gonna ignore that

put it up to a vote?

jeez 40 of these fuckin movies

not even including star wars or star trek

my son is 6 years old and very much into superheroes. So I figure I'm going to have to watch all of these. Very considerate of the movie studios to put all of these dates out there so I can already plan all my future movie theater outings.

2 days and already the chart is out of date! Also DC are still fucked.

sort of. they've been doing well w/TV and while the recent batman and superman flix have been risible they've performed financially.

You're right, I should have said doomed.

They're doing well with TV shows featuring characters who will be starring in big-budget movies in the near future but who will be portrayed by different actors in what one can assume will be fairly different scenarios. 'Synergy' is a buzzword that seems to perpetually elude them.

it'd be one thing if they'd cast someone with some name recognition as the flash, but there's no reason to assume that the star of a hit CW show WON'T be more primed for hollywood success than Ezra Miller in 2018.

I watched the first episode of Gotham, seemed bloody awful.

there's been a lot of buzz about how warner bros film department is in total disarray, with three underlings of the top dog rushing productions out like a bake-off. Rather than the Flash double-casting being a big vote of no confidence in the TV show, I'm guessing it just means there's no interaction between the film and TV departments at WB either.

tbf that's how it's always been, w/maybe the exception of Batman '66. Marvel surprisingly forward-thinking with the movie/TV synergy

Actually, even that one had a different Catwoman, lol

unless ezra has a big part in batsupes i wouldn't put it past WB to change their mind once they realize the flash is, like, a hit

"ohhh right we can exploit the audience of our umpteen tv shows rather than pretend they don't exist"

we'll see - ratings have been dropping steadily week to week - it's lost a million viewers since the pilot. but still doing better than Arrow, and that's in season 3...

yeah i should clarify "a hit for the CW" - it's a strong enough show that i think it will bounce back, but no matter what it's getting more seasons

unless the film department freaks out and demands they cancel it to stop distracting from the guaranteed box office potential of the kid from We Need To Talk About Kevin

lol

there is a new flash TV show?

anyone remember the one from the early 1990s? boy howdy, that was awful.

dude who played the flash in the 90s one plays the flash's dad in the new show

though i'll always know him as dawson's dad (RIP, heaven needed a cuckold bearing ice cream)

Blimey, is that Mark Hammil?

yup!

my god

is that underwear or a fanny pack?

under/overwear

Always thought it was a nice touch that they got Hamil to voice the Trickster in Justice League

Can't believe Smallville lasted 10 seasons.

yeah. it had a zeitgeisty moment... then went on another seven or eight seasons.

io9 comment:

This whole announcement shows once again how some companies "get" it and how others simply don't. Marvel lays out an ambitious slate of films that will all tie together in a coherent, logical universe and they do it at a Steve Jobs-worthy event. Warner and DC announce their universe with a whimper in between earnings reports at an investor conference call.
