TonySpike:
Had to post this. This is the kind of weird critic we have been talking about.

She dey flex muscle on top DC movies but when it's time to trash talk Wonder Woman, she disappeared

Fash20:
I believe rape and sexual harassment would reduce drastically if women dress moderately and desist from doing what would make them vulnerable.

India is having rape crisis despite 99% of their women dressing well

Spatta:
I am a Lecturer, I am reading all your comments. It will be the Thesis for the Young Lazy girls in my department, especially the ones who roam around my office with seductive attires and rolling eyes, energized children of darkness sent to destroy me.
Oya, write on

Word

Fash20:
Is the class room or lecturers office a swimming pool? Until women learn to dress moderately they wont stop being rape/ sexual harassment victims.

This one has already concluded that dressing well will stop rape and sexual harassment from hapoening

Laugh wan kill me

Some people are this naïve and ill informed in 21st century

Fash20:
Is the class room or lecturers office a swimming pool? Until women learn to dress moderately they wont stop being rape victims.

Rape and sexual harassment is never about dress code.

What excuse will you make for ladies in India who cover up and yet gets raped.
Why is rape still not eradicated in that country

Donbigi2:
In as much as you shouldn’t blame the victim.

Stop comparing Nigeria to US. In us there houses are not fenced or barbed wire like ours. Because their government has something in place to catch thieves.
Truth in Nigeria is. Only on special occasions will the lecture be dealt with. What’s best for you is dressing moderately because only you care about your interest in Nigeria.

Sexual harassment will happen whether a lady is dressed well or not.

What excuse will you make for ladies in hijab who get harassed in Muslim countries

Apination:
Women should as a matter of fact do their possible best to dress moderately so as to reduce the attention they draw to themselves. There would always be randy lecturers based on the existing standard, so it's not a debate on whether it's right or wrong

If a woman is sexually harassed at a swimming pool, will you blame the woman for wearing bikini instead of Agbada or will you blame the pervert who sexually harassed her.

All this victim blaming is the reason why perpetrators of sexual harassment always gets away with it.

Xavier5:
common, it's too early to eliminate Bruce wayne's Batman from the DCEU. Beside he is an iconic character, highly popular among DC Fans and also he is one of the frontliners in DC, Justice League and DCEU than that Terry Mcginnis of yours. So eliminating him from DCEU won't be right. He needs more time and should be giving one. So what DC and WB should do is to sign a younger person to play the Character or use a de-aging effect or CGI to make Ben Affleck look younger in the movies.

As for the Birds Of Prey movie title, it's stupid and ridiculous at the same time.

#Xavier.

Birds Of Prey long title is a proof that the movie won't be a serious one.
It will be a Deadpool kind of movie where a bunch of girls are killing some people and making jokes over it.

the movie will be DC's first R rated.
With heavy metal violence and lots of blood.

It won't be a serious movie one bit.

Jose Mourinho has gone. There will be a temporary appointment until the end of the season, but then who will get the permanent post?


Zinedine Zidane

Zidane has won the last three Champions League titles – the first boss ever to do so consecutively – but still there are plenty who remain uncertain of the Frenchman’s coaching credentials. The former Real Madrid boss was seen by some as more of a figurehead or facilitator, one lucky to inherit a supremely talented squad that required minimal direction.

But you don’t achieve what Zidane did with Real merely by being a happy clapper, and the 46-year-old will point to a number of managerial decisions – in-game and over a longer term – that demonstrated more nous than some may give him credit for. Zidane’s serene approach was just what Real required after a few months of Rafael Benitez’s micro-management, and the World Cup winner is one of few individuals who could command the respect of a dressing room full of egos just from reputation alone.

Those circumstances may sound familiar to anyone who has watched United descend into the chaos they currently find themselves. There is plenty of blame to go around for that – Mourinho was the easiest target and the easiest one to remove. The relationship between the manager and a number of his players was broken; many of those individuals in the dressing room, especially the highest profile, will relish a change in leadership and there are few who would not embrace the idea of playing for Zidane.

Paul Pogba idolised Zidane while growing up, while the former midfielder wanted his compatriot to join him at Real Madrid. Woodward has chucked all his chips on red 6 and the effect Zidane could have on the record signing’s wretched form and morale under Mourinho may be at the forefront of the executive vice-chairman’s mind.

Can Zidane build a back four? He inherited the defence upon which Real’s Champions League dominance was built; at United he would be bequeathed Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof. United’s forward play is similarly disjointed but the suspicion is that someone – anyone? – could get plenty more out of the attacking talent in the Old Trafford dressing-room.

Appoint Zidane and United enter the unknown – just as they would with anyone. But the France legend undoubtedly carries credentials and the kind of reputation that no one else in the field can match.


Antonio Conte


If Woodward really wanted to stick the boot into Mourinho, then the United chief could fix it so that Conte once again replaced him at a Premier League club.

The former Juventus boss has a track record of taking Mourinho’s teams and helping them rediscover their mojo. Conte’s appointment at Chelsea, five months after Mourinho was axed, was an inspired move, with the Italian wasting no time in moulding a title-winning team.

But Woodward would be wary of what came next. Conte spent the following season falling out with seemingly everyone around him and used the second half of a miserable title defence to goad Chelsea into firing him. Since his exit, many Blues have spoken out about his methods – which perhaps says more about them – but as Mourinho has discovered, the modern game indulges these players, and coaches need to find a way of managing such personalities while massaging and channelling their egotism towards the greater good.

Conte for Mourinho would be like for like. Woodward has been copping grief off Mourinho for the last year; Conte’s evident frustration at his working conditions at Chelsea suggests the Italian would conform no more than the just-axed manager. An outspoken personality with Mourinho or Conte’s drive is perhaps what United need but under Woodward and the Glazer family’s ownership, they will surely not appoint another one?



Laurent Blanc


The Frenchman has two important assets: a United connection and the fact he is available. In fact, Blanc has been available for the entire duration of Mourinho’s reign at Old Trafford.

Blanc has been out of the management game since leaving PSG in 2016 after three “wearing” years in Paris. There he won three Ligue 1 titles and a couple of Quadruples, following a championship with Bordeaux. In between, Blanc bossed France for two years, inheriting the shambolic rabble which disgraced the nation at the 2010 World Cup.

The former United defender has spoken of his desire to coach abroad and Blanc was said to be a candidate for the Chelsea role this summer. As his two-year absence suggests, though, Blanc will not take just any job: “I know I’m fussy, only a big club would interest me. If not, I’ll face facts and think of something else.”

Blanc won 11 trophies with PSG and four with Bordeaux by taking a possession-based approach, focusing on his team’s strengths rather than nullifying the opposition. That is to be expected with PSG in Ligue 1, but it may come as a welcome change to United fans weary of watching their side cede impetus to their major rivals in the big games.

Mauricio Pochettino


The obvious question: why would Pochettino swap what he has at Spurs for the mess at Man Utd?

From the outside, the conditions at wherever Tottenham currently call home are far more suited to the Argentinian. After all, he put them in place. Spurs’ success in recent years, albeit in the absence of silverware, is very much Pochettino’s success.

But doubts remain over the club’s willingness to match Pochettino’s drive to take them to the next step and beyond. The manager spoke at the end of last season of the need to be “brave” in order to become “real contenders for big trophies”. By the end of the window, Pochettino’s definition of “brave” had changed somewhat, most likely because he had no choice. Unless the manager sees a clear path forward and an assurance that he will be given the resources to take them down that path, then he may well look elsewhere.

The feeling is that there are only a couple of clubs who could lure Pochettino: Real Madrid and Manchester United. The Red Devils have long courted the 46-year-old and that interest remains as strong as ever. From Pochettino’s perspective, the Old Trafford hotseat would give him the opportunity to mould one of the game’s greatest clubs in his image with the resources he’s unlikely to enjoy at Spurs any time soon. United need Pochettino more than he needs them, which puts him in a fantastic position to negotiate his conditions for taking one of the most prestigious jobs in football.

Woodward is already concerned over the turnover of managers on his watch. Getting rid of Mourinho and making another patch-up appointment similar to his last two does nothing for his reputation, but bringing in Pochettino while selling a long-term vision would be widely lauded as a coup and a feather in Woodward’s cap.



Ryan Giggs


You can’t have a list of potential Man Utd managers without including Giggs. It’s the law, or something…

Few know United better than Giggs. More than 23 years and 672 appearances in the first team give the Welshman an unrivalled perspective of the club’s values and successes.

But knowing how to get them back to the top and implementing the required strategies are different strengths altogether and Giggs can point to little evidence that he possesses the nous to achieve either. The former winger has fallen into the Wales job and making a sustained success of that opportunity would strengthen his credentials considerably. But similarly to 2014 and 2016, 2018 is too soon for Giggs to manage United, especially under the present conditions.

Leyqute:
Paul Pogba is a big assho.le. Worst time for this kinda reaction

A rare photo of Pogba and Martial celebrating Mourinho's sack.

As a Liverpool fan I'm sad to hear this news.
It would have been a pleasure to collect awoof 3 points at Old Trafford next year.

Beorn:
The high rating of Black Panther was hilarious. It was never for the movie itself but by paid critics and blacks hyping a black superhero movie. the plot of BP was just there. Nothing in the movie can justify its 90% rating on some sites.

I won't be surprised if Black Panther gets nominated for Oscars.

Anything to appease the black race and avoid getting called racist.

troubleseller:
Oga, no go put urself for wahala o. U want to exchange words with people that said Black Panther is better than TDK and TDK is not DC? Abi u no see Stan Lee cameo for TDK? :-P

Some people on this thread sha...
Abeg make I no stress myself....

Yes TDK is not DC and Black Panther is greater than TDK.....
Let me agree with them just to avoid unnecessary argument....

JeromeBlack:
The Dark Knight trilogy took Batman into a different space entirely. Up till today, I consider it radically different from most superhero movies. I consider it different from most Batman movies. I consider it different from most DC movies.

DC movies are shite.

The exception is Wonderwoman, which was okay. I want to clear my doubts with Aquaman- so I will watch it tomorrow when it comes to Naija

So TDK is not a DC movie because of these reasons

Tenison96:
Is this a Joke?

It's not the first time I'll be seeing a movie based on a villain.
It's an elseworlds movie that's not part of the current shared universe.
A low budget film and a low risk project for WB.

It's normal for studios to add potential projects to their schedule and end up abandoning them or shifting it.

The Flash was supposed to release on March this year but production troubles and WB's incessant changing of directors delayed the movie.

The Batman should have come next year but Ben Affleck's script was cancelled after WB hired Matt Reeves (Dawn and War of the Planet Of Apes) to direct.
Matt wanted to start from the scratch with a new script.

If Justice League was a success ,Cyborg movie would have been a priority.

Wonder Woman 2 was moved from November 2019 to June 2020 to avoid a massive box office battle due to top movies also scheduled for that month.

Taking into consideration all the delays and changes that was meted out on the afformentioned projects, we should not be surprised if the future schedule also changes.

As far as I'm concerned, all the movies WB is planning are subject to change.

The only DC movies that are seriously moving forward are....

Shazam

Filming has wrapped and the movie will release on April 2019. So we won't wait long to see another DC movie like we waited 13 months for Aquaman after JL released.

Joker

Already filming.
Set photos have been leaked multiple times and something tells me Janquin Phoenix Joker will live up to Heath Ledger's legacy.

Wonder Woman 1984

Wrapped filming today. Should have released on November 2019 had WB not moved it to June 2020 to avoid some really big competition at the box office.

Birds of Prey And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn.

Pretty long title but this is the official title and I'm not kidding.
Has a director (a female) and a script (also written by a female).and a February 2020 release date ...so this movie is really female-driven.
Bird of Prey will be DC's first R rated movie. It will be garnished with a lot of foul language, blood and heavy metal violence.
I'm glad WB finally has balls for some R rated DC movie after a missed opportunity in Suicide Squad.
WB won't chicken away from R rated movies like Sony did with PG-13 Venom....eewww.
As a DC fan I'm looking forward to Bumblebee cuz the lady that wrote the story also wrote Birds Of Prey.

Green Lantern Corps

Had a 2020 release date but that is not possible anymore.
Geoff Johns is writing the script...(better don't fùck this up John )
Tom fùcking Cruise was rumored for the lead role as Hal Jordan... Shoot me if it ends up a reality
John Stewart will make his cinematic debut....so this movie is not a one man show like the previous one but instead we getting a team of Lanterns running the show.

The Batman

Ben Affleck's script was cancelled and the new director Matt Reeves started from the scratch.
His Batman will be noir driven with emphasis on the detective side of The Caped Crusader... good news to my ears.
Matt Reeves Batman will be dark and gritty just like Dawn Of the Planet Of Apes and War (both are Matt Reeves movies)
Rumours suggest WB is looking for a younger actor to play Batman cuz the story will be based on his early days long before the events in BVS.
This does not in any way suggest it's a bye bye to Ben Affleck....at least not yet.
Affleck has done nothing but express his love for character lately.
Matt Reeves script will be due this month...so the movie should potentially start filming late next year for a late 2020 release.

I believe that WB will release 3 DC movies in 2020.
Wonder Woman 1984 and Birds Of Prey already has release dates (June and February 2020 respectively).
September to December is open and The Batman could release during that time.
But what if the Batman is delayed....
Two other DC characters can claim late 2020 release date....The Flash and Black Adam.

The Flash

The Scarlet Speedster's movie suffered delay due to 3 director changes.
WB had already lost 2 directors before landing Spiderman Homecoming writers. They wrote a new script and the movie will reportedly take inspiration from Back To The Future.
WB wanted a Flash point movie but that will not happen.
Goodnews to my ears BTW.... I mean how can the first Flash movie adapt the Flashpoint story
That feels like using Ragnarok story line for the first Thor film... Imagine that
Flash point should be the last movie in a Flash trilogy not the first.
It might be the one of the best stories in DC comics but it is also controversial and gory.

Let me summarise it...

Aquaman cheats on Mera with Wonder Woman.
Mera confronts Diana.
Diana chops off her head.
Aquaman declares war on Themyscira.
The Surface world gets caught in the crossfire.
Half of Europe is wiped out by Aquaman's giant tidal waves.
Wonder Woman brutally kills 14 year old Billy Batson (Shazam)

Does this look like a suitable story for Flash first movie... Hell NO!

We just got Amber Heard's Mera in Aquaman movie and the last thing I wanna see now is Gal Gadot holding up Mera's head for Arthur to see.

Abegiii...

I'm so glad Flash point is not happening.
We don't need that kind of story right now.


If Ezra Miller doesn't finish filming his role in Fantastic Beasts 3 in time for Flash movie to move a step forward, there's another DC movie in development....serious development.

Black Adam

When Dwayne Johnson was cast as the Black Adam, I was like... WOW!
Then WB saved Black Adam from being a use-and-dump villain for Shazam's cinematic debut to developing a solo film for the former slave boy and antihero turned villain...I was like double WOW!
Black Adam will be a major player in DCEU and WB ain't kidding with him.
A script is being written and the excited writers already teased what the story could look like.
The movie will focus on the life of a slave in ancient Egypt and his transformation into Black Adam.
His transition from a hero trying to use his power to free his people from slavery to antihero and straight up villain.

This movie will be a hit if WB do it right.
Dwayne Johnson is currently the highest paid actor in Hollywood and arguably the most in-demand.
He can sell any movie and I can't think of a better actor to portray Black Adam than him.

Black Adam promises to be dark and gritty or at least balanced.


So there you have it..

These are the DC movies, out of the many WB is planning , that is moving forward and will definitely happen.

New Gods has a director.
Nightwing too.
Justice League Dark has a script but these projects appears to be on hold.
No surprise there cuz these are post 2020/21 movies so no rush there.

Plastic man, Blue Beetle, Gotham City Sirens, Super girl, Cyborg, Booster Gold, Joker Harley Quinn spin-off etc may not happen and might end up getting overlooked.

teewhydope:
261m at box office mojo.

Already
It was $201m on Friday night and now it's $261m.

$261m in 9 days without yet releasing in USA

Look at Into the Spiderverse that was supposed to challenge Aquaman at box office

Arthur Curry don sweep that one aside

Where is Mary Poppins and Bumblebee...
Bring it on

As e dey hot

Raalsalghul:
1 billion is too much. We should be looking at above 800 milll.

With the way the movie is going, $850 -$900m is a sure thing and that will surpass BVS and make it the highest grossing DCEU movie.

Forbes is already predicting $1b but I won't believe that until I see the box office numbers from USA.

Wouldn't be the first time James Wan's movie is a box office miracle.

Moneyboyz:
Where is advengers, Deadpool 2, Ant-Man and the wasp?

Annihilation is crap

Chill bro..
It's his choice.

For me most of the superhero movies this year were just average except infinity war.

sanmitee:
The crossover episode should rank as one of their best e09 since it's inception. They tried.

I finally saw the crossover.

It was really good.

Not convulated like the previous one and a lot better.
They kept it simple and it was still fun and interesting.

One of the best.

I'm impressed.

teewhydope:
cruising to 1billion+. don't know why the stupid uk critics are dropping down the ratings, some said it is due to mary poffins clash.

global cume is $203.13m as at now

Hold it bro... Lets not get overconfident.

The money rain in China is one hell of a miracle.
No one expected such from the least interesting character in Justice League last year.

If Aquaman can replicate China success in USA especially in the face of competition from Bumblebee, Mary Poppins and Into the Spiderverse...then it's most likely gonna end up as the highest grossing DC movie since TDK trilogy.

Apparently UK critics are not moved by stunning visuals like the Chinese, they prefer Mary Poppins.

teewhydope:
aquaman might make up to $300m in china alone.

It has made $172m in China alone... In just one week

CalciumB3:
the way they raped your brain. Zombie

Rape apologists and victim blamer.
That is what you are.

I read your post again, you never blamed or said anything about the rapists... No.
It is the parents fault, they should carry the blame.

Next time you start shifting blame, do think about the victims and the emotional trauma they must be passing through.

If the victim is your family member, would you shift the blame.

Think about this picture for a minute..

You are ill informed and you know nothing about rape.

if you think skimpy clothes triggers rape, think about India with high rate of rape where women cover up and still get raped.
Or the paedophiles who rape little children not older than 9 years old.

What excuse will you make this time.

A rapist will rape his victim whether she is dressed well or not.

Keep underating rapists and treating rape cases with kid gloves at your own peril.

tevinsolt:
You are not in support of rape but
But what?
This stupid comment will land you a serious slap in person.

If you rape, you are a rapist not because someone made you do it, rather it is because you are a vile pig who has no respect for others personal space.

There's an epidemic of Pedophiles defiling young girls and an army of rapist destroying a lot of women's lives both young and old.
And you're here talking about but

He is a victim blamer and a rape apologist.

It shouldn't surprise you, that is how they think.

Whenever someone gets raped ,they will look for someone else to blame aside the rapists.

JeromeBlack:
Nice review. I cant wait till 21st when it comes out in Naija and other countries. The movie is not yet out in many countries (US Nigeria, Canada). I am guessing that you're in the UK.


By the way, I am quite foolish. I never realised the connection between blackmanta, our colleague and black manta of aquaman.

TonySpike:
Shazam will be anything but spectacular and visually stunning.

Shazam is far from a visual spectacle like Aquaman or a serious take like Zack Snyder films.

The character is just a 14 year old in a man's body so I'm expecting the most lighthearted, fun family film that WB has to offer from DC comics.

Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam is what will be really dark and serious.

I'm glad WB separated the two and Black Adam gets his own solo film instead of using him as a use-and-dump villain for Shazam's cinematic debut.

Overated Brazilian vs Best Keeper in EPL...

Titans season finale trailer is here...

Episode 11 and 12 will drop at the same time.

The finale will be like a 2 hour movie.

And hell yeah....

The Batman of "Titansverse" finally shows up...

That movie was deep .


P.s I just saw aquaman DVD in traffic now. Jeez
