Underscoring his aggressive approach to the DC Comics universe, Mr. Tsujihara and Dan Fellman, Warner’s domestic film distribution chief, recently moved the studio’s untitled Batman-Superman movie — a hotly anticipated follow-up to last year’s “Man of Steel” — to a release date in May 2016 previously claimed by Marvel for one of its own films. It created an industry dust-up, and Marvel retaliated with a date change of its own. But the move sent a blunt message: Warner takes a back seat to no one.

As for DC Entertainment, cross-studio collaboration to make better use of its comic book characters appears to have accelerated considerably since Mr. Tsujihara took over, in part because he eliminated some management layers. (He has not named a chief operating officer and did not replace Mr. Rosenblum and Mr. Robinov, choosing instead to divide up their duties and assume some himself.) Two new television shows are coming to the CW and Fox, including one based on the Flash and another on a young Batman, and a film series will be announced in the near future, Mr. Tsujihara said. It is expected to include a “Justice League” movie.

yea, we've heard that before from WB. It's getting to be old news now.

BTW I finally found the home video sales of MOS and it made $90 million from home video sales to the $71 million of Iron Man 3. So that's a win.

When did we hear that? It's always been just RUMORS.

Last fall I read an article that they would be announcing some projects both small and big screen. And we still don't have sh!t other than delay announcements.

Uhh, WB is releasing a ton of TV stuff. From Hourman, to Gotham (have been showing tons of pics already), Constantine, I Zombie (Same director as the hit show, Veronica Mars), etc..

Don't remember them announcing (CEO of ALL people) more movies. At least not an official announcement. BTW, The Rock has Tweeted that he'll be in an upcoming movie and their is a possible JL and JLD movie as well.

I'm interested in movie announcements I guess. And all we get is hopes and dreams. And did the Rock actually say he's going to be in a upcoming movie or that he just had talks?

Look in the Rock thread I started. He confirmed he'll be in a DC movie. And it sounds like a solo movie, because he said something about new writers, so that doesn't sound like Batman vs Superman.

Anyway, BleedingCool thinks they will announce it at Comic Con:

3 months away.

I read Tsujihara's article, while an interesting read, it is all hyperbole until he actually opens up his mouth and says something worth while.. of course their last announcement was moving Bats v. Supes to 2016 so hopefully this alleged announcement whenever it might be, could be something good or something shitty

He already announced a new film series, so it's highly probable something else will be mentioned soon. Perhaps the next comic con? I'm guessing whatever the Rock is in and a JL series. Mr. Tsujihara hasn't been disappointing.

lol announcing an alleged new film series is nothing compared to ACTUALLY casting it and then making it so until that happens it is hyperbolic boasting.. Tsujihara has been very disappointing

How has he been disappointing? He's already gave many DC characters a TV series and casted them already. You think BVS will be the only DC movie released? Really?

i guess you have never heard of the saying "Talk is cheap"??

lol that is tv, and not the movies..

[b]AS OF RIGHT NOW ON TODAY'S DATE OF MARCH 30, 2014, BATMAN V. SUPERMAN IS THE ONLY FILM THAT HAS BEEN CASTED FOR THE BIG SCREEN AND IS CURRENTLY SET TO FILM SOON[/b}

until they actually hire a director, cast it and start filming, Tsujihara is just talking out of his ass.. so he announces at comic con that Justice League is being filmed two seconds after they are done filming Bats/Supes, that isn't even news as that has been rumored for months now.. Everyone knows that Dwayne Johnson will either be GL John Stewart(gross miscast) or Lobo(good cast), unless of course its all a swerve and Dwayne is Darkseid, so that really isn;t news either as he is just simply confirming stuff.. So Tsuijihara needs, repeat NEEDS to say something worthwhile and I don;t mean just to confirm rumors

I heard that saying, but under him, there has been several new TV shows and a WW appearance in a MOVIE. He's getting the ball rolling.

So, HOW has he been disappointing? He's been anything BUT disappointing. And the article states why in many areas.

ALL HE IS DOING IS JUST TALKING ABOUT NOTHING AND NOT ACTUALLY DOING ANYTHING, that is being disappointing..

again that is televison but you probably cannot comprehend that.. So Wonder Woman is a movie, wow , not impressed.. it has to take more than just having Diana is a movie.. getting the ball rolling doesn;t mean anything until after he has had a few movie successes

He is doing something and you dont work for WB, so you dont know shit.

calm down golgo13.. I don't have a problem asking a global coming in here and talking with you.. in fact , next time i am on facebook i can ask at least three of them to come in here and have a chat with you..

you don;t work for WB either, and yeah I know plenty, not my damn problem you cant handle what i am saying.. Kevin Tsujihara is very disappointing right now, not my fault no one is "al bundying"him like you do. Nobody is gonna care if all he does is confirm the rumors about Justice League being filmed directly after they are done filming Batman v. Superman.. He has got to say something worthwhile to get people talking..

Talk is cheap and I'm not buying any. I'll wait for official announcements.

It's just frustraiting, because you state things as fact. You stated "He's not doing anything". Again, HOW do you know this? Talks are cheap, true, but Kevin just took the Chief executive in 2013 and ever since, more and more moves have been put in place with DC characters from ACROSS the medium. TV for example and now movies.

And LOL at getting the globals to talk to me.
