Looking foward to Matt Reeve's Batman.
The Batman is a guaranteed hit

That movie will do big numbers for sure, not less than $800m to be fair

Remember that Joker did a billion despite being R rated, and without action or CGI spectacles.

The Batman ip is huge

Black Adam will also do big numbers simply because of Dwayne Johnson.

People will watch any blockbuster starring DJ. He has the star power to pull big numbers

CW needs to be stopped. WB has given them too much free hand to do whatever they want no matter how crappy it is angry

I hope the show doesn't see the light of day and if it does, I hope it bombs angry

Because it's CW, either nightwing or red hood will be gay in the show

are u saying being a celebrities shud automatically guarantee u movie roles? Are u saying he is the only celebrity that acts? Rihanna have been in some couple of movies but ppl still complained abt her acting, lady Gaga was in house of Gucci and ppl still complained. He might not be a fantastic actor like some other big name, but he is a good actor.
Did I say that Dwayne is a bad actor?

What I said is that Dwayne plays the same Dwayne Johnson in every film and that is 100% true

Everybody knows this. There's nothing to argue here

And yes he is a big celebrity that has managed to establish himself in Hollywood. Can't say the same for Rihanna, how many movies has she been the leading actress huh

Dwayne has his own production company and you can't name top 10 highest paid actors in Hollywood without calling his name.

All these achievements doesn't erase his lack of range when it comes to acting

if that were so how come john Cena isn't raking in the bucks just like him
Because unlike John, Dwayne Johnson is one of the biggest celebrities in America

Dwayne Johnson plays Dwayne Johnson in every movie
Man is not an actor, he is more like a big celebrity pretending to act

I like him the way he is

In Total Film's latest issue, director James Wan promises ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ will be “more mature” but it'll still adapt the fun the first movie had.

With the thrilling trench sequence of 2018's ‘Aquaman,’ Wan also teases another horror approach for the sequel: “So with the second film, I feel it will be easier for people to accept where we go because I've laid the foundation.”

Dark and Gritty DCEU is coming back in 2022

Then leave the movie for those who will watch it.
If you don't like something,stay away from it, that's common sense.
My problem is with SONY not the people that watch the film....
If Venom 3 ends up being trash like the last one I'm definitely calling it trash

I can critique anything I want to critique

One of the worst movies of 2021

You need to lower your expectations to the lowest level if you want to enjoy this movie

Bury your expectations 100 feet below the ground and switch off your brain and maybe you wouldn't regret wasting your data on this movie

SONY made so much money from the first movie they didn't care to make a better sequel

Venom Let there be Carnage - 2/10

Yes its that horrible

I wish other studio will do what WB is too scared to do.
After bvs and josstice league WB properly think Superman's arc is complete.

Another issue is budget. Superman films especially MOS was very expensive, they spent 258 million on that before marketing....and how much did they get in return-668m and bad reviews from critics
Matt Reeves The Batman only cost 100m

Superman films are also difficult to write because the guy is a literal god

Henry Cavill dey stubborn sometimes. WB asked for a cameo in Shazam and he refused. They haven't forgiven him for that.

But there's hope....

Warner Discovery CEO said in one of his interviews that DC trinity is a priority for him. He might make it happen.

Before they bring up Rotten Tomatoes audience score, I need to make it clear that cinemascore is the most accurate medium to measure how audiences feel about a movie...

Why, because the data is collected right at the cinema after the movie ends.

Unlike RT where anybody even those that didn't see the film can flood everywhere with high rating

For an MCU director, Chloe Zhao really sound like a DC fan everytime she talks.
They mentioned Batman and Superman in her movie and there's are reviews accusing Eternals of trying to feel like and copy DC films and now this

This movie gonna be bonkers
Here's a better look at the official synopsis

TV/Movies › Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by BlackManta(m):
The show will go through events that take place before and after The Batman movie, focusing on The Penguin's rise to power as Gotham's biggest crime boss.�


Colin Ferrell will likely play young Penguin.
All WB has to do is take off his makeup and prosthetics and he's good to go

UPDATE: Latest on GL Series.......

The show is still on and preparation in full gear.
It's most looking like the show Debuts 2023. Budget and scope sounds big.



Cc Black Manta
I don't care how gigantic or expensive this show is going to be...

It better be a great show. It better be worth the wait

What am I seeing? ....
This one shock me

Kevin Feige left the almighty MCU formula and tried to copy DC with Eternals

No one warned him that the fans and critics are addicted to that MCU formula they wouldn't relate to anything different

A sequel is DEFINITELY coming.
Dennis Vilneuve said he wanted to shoot Dune and its sequel back to back but Warner Bros said NO

I think WB were just nervous as per the box office expectations

TheKingIsHere:
cool
Despite not living up to my expectations, Fandome 2.0 surpassed last year's event with 44M views.

The event also trended on Twitter in 54 countries.

They used Batman this year to grab the headlines

They better fast track those HBOMax shows and get that 2023 slate sorted out.
As next year is stacked, it's only natural that fans will expect more in 2023

Gmajor:
Mr. Terrific the 3rd smartest man alive makes stupid arguments
Another injustice rant.
The scene where Mr Terrific and Superman were playing chess was supposed to be a deeply philosophical argument that will demonstrate Mr Terrific’s superior intellect and reasoning ability, but in reality, the arguments that Mr T came up with very silly and riddled with logical fallacies
When I was watching the movie, I thought Superman would have challenged him, but for some reason, this never happens, probably because the writers really wanted to side with batman et al.

Now let’s unpack this stupid pseudo-intellectual conversation masquerading as a perspicacious tete a tete.

So Superman says I want to get rid of gun because that this will result in saving a lot of lives on a daily basis and Mr T says that just because we can does mean that does not mean we should. He then cites the example of cigarettes killing people.
This is a very stupid point to bring up.
People who smoke are choosing to harm themselves unlike the way guns exist to mostly harm other people. Even if you bring up the concept of 2nd hand smoke, there are legislations against smoking in public. So this is in reality a non sequitur.

Mr T then goes forward to say, imprison anyone who speeds.
This is also another stupid point to bring up in response to getting rid of guns.
the law already imprisons people who over speed and there’s no way to fully prevent people from over speeding and when they do so, punishments for this already exists, there is no logical reason for Superman to intervene in this case.

Lock up anyone who leaves any dangerous dog unchained. Lol. As if unchained dogs does anywhere near the damage that guns do.

And finally he bring up recycling. Like WTF.
All these defenses don’t make sense.

Imagine if the president says I want to revolutionize the healthcare sector and offer free health care to all and then someone says what about education as a reason why reforms should not be made to healthcare.
TL; DR
Mr Terrific is dumb and makes stupid arguments.
I was surprised because Mr Terrific did not have a major role in the comics. It was Lex Luthor that became Superman's major strategist and idea man.

I just don't know why Lex was missing in that film.
