DC adds 'Flashpoint' to their movie slate :wow:

[duckbutta]

why does it have to be rated r?

Because wonder woman is beheading people ?

Because wonder woman is killing children ?

Because Aquaman pretty much dismembers cyborg?

Yall dreaming if you legit believe they're going to do a direct adaptation of Flashpoint

It's not an event movie, it's The Flash's movie.

flashpointe was so dope. The animations were a bit off to me. The chars looked a little weird but besides that it was dope.

It's not an event movie, it's The Flash's movie.

Yeah, wouldn't it require a few movies to do the comic book version?
Maybe they can adapt Flashpoint Paradox animated movie. That would be cool.

Maybe he's not getting an origin story either, didn't they once say his movie was going to be a buddy comedy with cyborg now it's flashpoint. And given the popularity of the CW show and DCEU/WB propensity for playing catch up why can't flash's first outing be an event movie.

Its not like his mother and his motives can't be used as the lynchpin into his backstory

I thought that was the flashpoint we were talking about

Na, there's a comic series. Huge DC event that brought about the New 52. The animated movie is a very shortened version of that.

The genesis is that the actions he took in saving his mother altered his universe no? I just need a scenario like that where even when he rectifies his timeline things have changed (ie actors and dceu direction with some movies). Hell they can even use his movie to do crisis on 2 earth flashpoint hybrid and kill off the trash castings we have now I don't care I just want all of Ezra, social network, Affleck, cyborg, Adams and cavill gone

 

[Chris Cool]

too early. feel like this is just to replace Affleck.

Yeah, me ideally this should be like the third or 4th Flash story but if it is for reboot purposes do that shyt. Yeah, and replace everyone you mentioned. Well, I doubt they can replace Flash himself but Cavill and Lex especially. Get Ben outta there if he is having substance abuse problems. Just kill Cyborg we don't even need a recast. Bring in Jon Stewart for uh diversity.

AquaGAWD putting the beats on Wonder Woman feminists will have a field day with that one...

I read an article as to why the title doesnt necessary mean a reboot. and it makes sense

The new version of The Flash may make his solo movie debut in Flashpoint – but claims that the film’s title means a reboot of the entire DCEU is on the way… are most likely wishful thinking. It’s more than a little confusing to casual fans, or those not up to date on Flash comics in particular. But no sooner had the title been revealed in a montage of WB’s coming superhero movies, fans, bloggers, that pundits raised the word as PROOF that after facing critical beatings with regularity, the DCEU was finally going to be remade – and ‘right’ this time.

The truth is far from that simple, and considering that the DCEU is now being shaped on the basis of individual films and creators, there are several reasons why Flashpoint is unlikely to be the same kind of reboot as the comics. And that’s assuming that the actual function and meaning of the Flashpoint comic event is what some are claiming… which isn’t entirely accurate, either.

IT’S AN UNNECESSARY CHANGE – THAT DC SHOULDN’T MAKE

It’s worth pointing out that at this point, The Flash movie is both officially and unofficially without a writer or director, let alone one who would take the job knowing that it won’t entail a contained story doing Barry Allen justice, but a universe-altering leap into complicated mythology. Before we get into the challenges of that on a fictional level, om a philosophical level, it goes against the way that DC Films has done business to this point. Boasting a creator-driven approach, the studio has allowed writers and directors to pursue their own vision – as some might argue, a level of freedom that gives creatives all the room they need to fail.

Some might see that fact alone as the very reason that DC Films should change their patterns, and adopt one closer to Marvel. In this case, allow Geoff Johns to pursue the creative vision for the universe as a whole as executive producer, and hire writers or directors to execute that vision as they wish (to a point). There’s two problems with that: 1) the DCEU movies having freedom to NOT directly tie from one to the next has proven successful with Wonder Woman, and 2) Johns made his name at DC by inspiring creators to tell faithful stories that mattered to them. Johns also comes from the comic book world, where a company mandate, event, or any other restrictions on creative expression taking freedom from writers and artists is universally accepted as the WRONG way to build a universe.

Finally – avoiding the fact that a large part of this theory is arguably based on critics and pundits believing a $3 Billion series of movies is bound to reshape itself into a more popular style – there’s the fact that this plan would go against DC’s strategy of allowing director Patty Jenkins to tell the Wonder Woman story she always wanted to, free from shared universe pressures. With Wonder Woman a critical and box office grand slam… it’s a strange time to start missing the point

MamOa ain't going anywhere either tho with the way males are gushing over him those dudes might not be completely straight

jealousy is a female trait

 

[Still FloW]

I dont get where all this DCEU is tryna play catch up to Marvel, they're building a fuccin universe.. looool why does that equate to catch up.. ya'll are real dense

 

[Rekkapryde]

The animated film is easily the GOAT comic book animated film...

It HAS to be rated R

Rated R ain't even happening breh. But if they did......
