Big screen Spider-Man has been 3 different people in the last 10 years, anything is possible when it comes to superhero shit.

Hopefully they make Superman black this time, and maybe Batman can be an Iraqi man.

I'm glad they're both gone though. Frankly, I don't even want to see another Superman or Batman solo film for a decade. So tired of those two characters hogging all the DC resources. The only problem I see is that they're trying to reboot the cinematic universe 10 years into the superhero film craze. Comic movie fatigue is a phrase that gets tossed around perhaps too lightly, but will anyone actually give a shit by the time a JL film comes around again in like 10 years?

I have been telling Darth Thor that Superman and Batman have failed and it is time to move in another direction. The fanboy in him knows no one really cares anymore deep down but the guy adores Superman so much he will still cry over it.

BvsS is what screwed all this up. Man of Steel was decent, WW was good. If they would have just taken their time and done a solo Batman/Flash/Aquaman and a Superman 2 with a legitimate Luthor. I think things would have been fine.

For some reason they wanted to catch up to marvel instead of build out a Universe.

These are common complaints, because they are completely accurate.
Catch up was NOT the way to go for DC.

Hit on the next 4 films? You would have a better chance hitting the lottery.

It started with MoS. It was horrible.

Yeah, keep what�s worked.
In the case of Suicide Squad (which i liked) many complainers did like individual characters, just not the story. Then there�s the Shazam movie, which has a chance to do well.

You didnt like Gadot as WW?

There were reports about Gunn having creative freedom to ignore the first SS.

Not particularly, no. But the majority liked her, so I dont expect them recast just for me.

But I meant, if you do a hard reboot then you gotta commit and she would have to go.

The people agree with me. Superman and Batman are not the draws they once were.

You are so closed minded. You need to let the Light Shine in Quanster.

No, you are the guy begging for more of the same. I want different characters and more WW. She is the best hero they have in films imo.

I figured yeah they'd be dumb enough to try to squeeze out another JL movie lol. Wonder Woman 2 is coming out and they had also announced a sequel to Man of Steel(this has probably changed).

I think it all started to change when it became clear Ben Afleck was method acting, but seemed to think he was playing Tony Stark. When it become obvious his alcoholism was a problem it seemed like the writing was on the wall.
