thank you, I edited in the correction.

Also, I see I didn't post after the end of Stargirl. That show really stuck the landing. It sucks that it was cancelled, but they told a really good 3 season story. Plus, the Ultra-Humanite.

That seems to originate from a celebrity gossip podcast. It's not implausible but it's also not exactly a credible source.

It certainly seems less likely than “Warner has no idea what they’re doing anymore, and Netflix is bleeding money”.

Personally, I think it would be prudent to wait until at least a single reputable source reports that before passing around an allegation along those lines.

Doesn't mean it's not true, but this is literally just a podcast that reads totally anonymous gossip submissions by sources unknown even to the hosts. It's not anonymous like in typical journalism, where the source is not named but the journalist knows the source but does not reveal the name.

This is more like a post on 4chan. It could be true, because sometimes a story really does leak for the first time in a totally anonymous way. But it's generally best to wait and see.

edit: Seems like the original account in the embedded tweet is locked and the gossip they were RTing was deleted, so I guess it's a moot point. It was probably just loading for me because I'd seen it previously, but clicking through and coming back it disappeared.

Eh. Best thing they did was ignore shared universe. The Batman was great, but I bet outside of already happening sequel it's a dead end.

Oh hey, The Authority, huh? I've only even seen a select few DC movies, but that's one I could be interested in if it turned out well.

That said... it also seems like the kind of thing that could be better off on its own than trying to keep in franchise-wide continuity. It's been ages since I read the comic but I don't remember them interacting with other DC heroes much at all, plus their archetypes often overlap with the big Justice League guys, and on top of that the power is cranked up to near cosmic levels. All seems pretty tricky to pull off in a satisfying way, but I guess we'll see.

Yeah, considering they are already talking about a new DCEU Batman based on the Morrison run I can't imagine The Batman is going to get a full trilogy treatment like Nolan Batman did.

Mostly I'm not hyped yet for another Batman but I will say if it is tonally like Morrison's Batman and Robin segment of his run with superbright dayglow colours along with weird, unsettling elements, I'm down. That and more sci-fi stuff please. Put Clayface or Man-Bat in my Batman movie.

The stated intended pace is going to be 2 films and 2 shows per year, which seems imminently reasonable to me. Although that doesn't include the legacy stuff that they haven't killed off yet. Which, you know they're going to take out back and murder, it's just a matter of time.

I am basically all for what's been announced (Lanterns sounds much less interesting than before, if only because Hal Jordan), but given the way Warner/DC is being run, especially these days, I'll wait until something is actually coming out to be excited.

I mean, I should be excited. Creature Commandos is a great concept. That is an excellent Supergirl story they are adapting, Morrison's Batman is great. I think Peacemaker is likely my favorite DC thing of the last few years. And Booster Gold is basically the hero I want to see get a spotlight the most. But I'm still just cautiously optimistic.

It's really funny to me that the MCU ended up being more or less one long rambling thing with alternate timelines and multiverses and the DC cinematic universe ended up rebooting like five times in ten years, exactly like their respective source material. It's convergent evolution at its finest.

I know people have very understandable problems with Ezra Miller, but I think this trailer looks rad:


I still think it is a mistake to try to Flashpoint or a Flashpoint like story (The Flash ends up in an alternate timeline/universe is a classic Flash story type) as the first movie. Establish the status quo before making a movie about changing it, you know. Still, that looks fun to me.

I'm not so sure. I mean, Gunn may be appearing to keep the door open for Miller's (and other's) return out of a desire to not sink the potential box office of this year's slate of movies, but I would not be surprised if stars of movies coming out this year go on to continue to star as these characters.

I do expect that WB/DC will use this movie like DC Comics used the Flashpoint comic to reset everything, even if the story was not built to support that.

I mean, I feel like this movie was ready for a while. I feel like it's either being repurposed to do that in re-edits/re-shoots or it will introduce a new continuity that will be ignored with the exception maybe with whatever is happening with the Blue Beetle movie in this respect.

Frankly, I feel the movies of DC work better when they aren't nodding toward continuity.

My hope is the new DC movie universe will be like The Suicide Squad, in respect to the fact that it implies there is a pre-established big world of heroes and villains. The fact that the Brave and the Bold is starting with Damien Wayne makes me think this is a strong possibility.

I just want them to make more Aquaman movies with Jason Momoa, because Aquaman fricken rocks and I like it more every time I see it.

In other news, HBO Max released a Harley Quinn Valentine's Day special at some point. I feel bad spoiling any part of it, as the "yes, they are going to do this" is part of the building humor of the episode, but suffice to say that if you have enjoyed the Harley Quinn animated series, this is a must watch.

Okay, just in case someone wants to read a spoiler, yes, Bane is magically transformed to kaiju size, and proceeds to literally fuck most of the Gotham City skyline.. They make it work.

This was a perfect way to spend valentines, thanks for bringing it to my attention. HBO sure didn’t.
