WB to announce Superman/Batman & JLA movies

You don't need an "overall" sorry for the DCverse. Just do what they do in the comics and have each superhero doing their own thing and then get them together for the team films. In fact, I think this would be better as films wouldn't wast time preparing and advertising upcoming films (although I am fine with stingers at the end to drum up excitement). Sadly, I doubt this will happen.

That pretty much what I said above. 👆

Answer this, which movies (super-hero) are considered the BEST? The Dark Knight trilogy, which didn't have a Fieg to support it.

V For Vendetta and Watchmen are also up there.

I actually like the idea of solo movies not tying in to a larger event movie. That doesn't mean the DCCU doesn't need an executive producer. These movies are still going to exist in the same universe and someone has to make sure inconsistencies don't happen. The Dark Knight trilogy worked well, but what about FOX's X-Men? That was one franchise and they started messing things up when they went back in time with Wolverine's prequel.

I like the idea of DC films being more "Filmmaker Driven". It gives them a sense of freedom and diversity that is somewhat lacking in the MCCU.

Also, Silverman addressed (slightly) about their strategy. I think it COULD work.

How will you differentiate the DC Universe from what Marvel is doing?
We have a great strategy for the DC films, which is to take these beloved characters and put them in the hands of master filmmakers and make sure they all coordinate with each other. You’ll see the difference when you see Batman v. Superman, Suicide Squad, Justice League and all the things that we are working on.

But they weren't part of an extended shared universe. So those examples don't work.

Creating a shared universe is very different a solo film series. In a Shared Universe, a cohesive vision is needed Imho. That's for best results anyway. Unless you don't mind the kind of continuity mess that is the movie X-Men franchise.

BTW, you yourself said you hated Iron Man 2 and 3. Fieg isn't PERFECT.

Oh they are terrible sequels. But if you look at what the MCU had achieved overall, it's largely down to Feige Imo.

And do you honestly think we won't get even 1 crappy movie from the DCCU? I hope your right about that, but I find that concept unrealistic personally.

IM2 and IM3 weren't terrible sequels, they were good. The expectations just skyrocketed.

👆 The directors are too busy to make sure their movies are in continuity with other movies. This isn't about each movie leading up to another. This is about quality control. A Feige-like producer is what is needed to make sure the DCCU doesn't become like FOX's X-Men. Someone like Feige can also hold back a director trying to make characters do things out of character (I.e. Kal El ramming Zod through a power plant and gas station).

I agree they weren't terrible sequels, but they were definitely underwhelming sequels for different reasons in my opinion. 2 was dragging and 3 was a comedy.

^ agreed. Now Hangover 2 is what you call a terrible sequel.

Hangover 2 was better than IM3, imo... shrug

Not at all, hangover 2 was garbage. It simply regurgitated the first film. IM3 at least had some laughs, fun action and Tony stark.

Examples of truly terrible sequels would be Batman and Robin, xmen the last stand, highlander 2 or Spider-Man 3. IM2 and 3 don't belong in this category of truly terrible sequels.

Disagree at the first part, agree at the second part.

Highlander 2 is only good if its the renegade version.

About on par I'd say.

I never said we wouldn't get any crappy movies. They could all suck for all I know. I'm pretty pumped on what WB is doing in terms of hiring some solid directors and writers.

James Wan
Snyder
Jenkins
Ayer
Phil Lord and Chris Miller
Possibly Ben Affleck
Possibly George Miller

A faaaar cry from what we have had before. Glad WB is taking this so seriously.

They'd be idiots to not take it seriously after Avengers

They've got some top talent for phase 1. 👆

They are all following marvels lead.

Actually they've had Batman V Superman and Justice League planned for years, even before Avengers was planned. George Miller was going to Direct JL, and Joss Whedon was going to direct Wonder Woman. Can't remember who was going to direct Batman v Superman.

But it all fell through time and time again.

But yes Marvel has given them a push. Thank goodness.

Can blame that writers strike that happen a few years ago for JL not moving forward.
