DC characters don't need to rely on the gimmick of a shared universe.

You talk as if Joker didn't make $1billion or that Chris Nolan's Batman movies didn't either. They didn't need a shared universe, were standalones and were critically acclaimed. This is what DC needs to go back to.

Marvel need the shared universe because their characters are not known so they needed a gimmick to bring people in.

It's easier for someone to buy into an Ant-Man when you know it's connected to Iron Man. Nobody cares for a Moon Knight if it wasn't part of the shared universe. That IS the point of it.

A Superman movie gains NOTHING from being connected to a Batman movie and vice versa. They are going to sell regardless.

And If you think Warner are going to focus on unknown DC characters like Marvel do with theirs outside of the odd 1 or maybe 2 like I don't know what to tell you.
they can literally just exist in their own worlds imo and then do a once in a generation multi universe threat crossover flick to cash out and then reboot for the next batch of actors.

Welp who should Henry Cavill play in The MCU since WB/DC/Gunn did him dirty?

Same role. Just different timeline/multiverse whatever

Na, Mamoa done as Aquaman and I gotta imagine they getting rid of Gal too. Of the 3, she was easily the worst acting/charisma wise. Especially with the reception WW1984 got

I have a feeling James Gunn is gonna be to the DCEU what Kathleen is to starwars.
That.....doesnt sound good....... :lupe:

Its a dumbass decision, once again ignoring what the fans want...Another bad decision by a can't get right "Dead Company"...The problem with the DCEU ain't the actors, its the lack of vision, creative storytelling and direction...

NOBODY wants to see a young Supes masquerading around as Clark Kent film...Clark Kent has always been the wackest aspect of the character, the idea mothafukkas can't tell he's Supes because he wears glasses and a tie is retarded and that's what we're going back to for some reason...

That's not exactly true... batman has done plenty of detective work in nolan's series and in the new pattenson batman movie. and in the bvs movie there was an entire subplot that was cut where clark was doing the reporting thing with batman and the man who was locked up being branded. it was on the deleted scenes...:dahell:


Uh in the Batman someone had to tell him his Dad was connected ot organize crime and a cop had to tell him what that carpentry tool was for and lastly Penguin had to solve the main riddle for him. He was not shown as a good detective in The Batman.

Interesting take they had on this. It definitely hurts that Cavil was let go but James Gunn clearly has a vision of what he wants to do so it would be better to start clean. I’m looking forward to see what will happen.
