DC Studios THREAD - GunnVerse Begins - Chapter ONE: Gods & Monsters

Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, etc don't kill.

Craptain America can throw dudes out of jets and Iron Man can fly out to the middle east and blow up brown people, but some superheroes ain't about that life and I'm totally fine with that
 
cap keeps it real, if you're in battle you have to be willing to take a life

batman is just delusional trying to not kill while slamming random thug's heads into steel railings

Iron Man aint just killing brown ppl. Killed a few dudes in IM3 like it was nothing. All white.

My whole thing is there are some good reasons for Batman or Superman to kill. Batman use to kill. Then editors started believing in this bull **** that heroes don't kill. I blame the attacks on the comic book industry at the time in relation to how it poisons the youth. Superman use to do all types of foul ****. With his power it makes sense that he'd kill the big threats but they turned him in to the boy scout who is the example for humanity cuz he's better than everyone.

With that it makes sense that Batman should be the one allowed to kill. Dude is fighting a never ending crime wave in Gotham and super villains that continually breakout.
 
Like my dude Red Hood was asking batman, why does he continue to let the joker live just so he can escape from jail and kill more people. He murked jason todd and batman wouldn't even avenge him. Straight up disloyal stuff.
 
oliver turned soft after season one when he stopped killing

what happened to the good ol days of john mcclane, indiana jones, dutch and john matrix where it was okay for a hero to shoot bad guys dead without feeling bad about it?

batman has been fighting crime in gotham since the 50s, thats 65 years of fighting the same 5 criminals without realizing the world is better off with them in the grave 
 
Producer Charles Roven Reveals the DC Brain Trust, How Directors Alter Their Plans


By now, folks are very familiar with the way Marvel Studios works. What at first seemed like a very out of the ordinary approach—forming a “Brain Trust” of creative-types to hash out the studio’s inter-connected universe plans—has now become commonplace for any big studio wanting to enact a big multi-franchise blueprint. The one that’s probably of most interest to fans, of course, is the Brain Trust over at Warner Bros., which is putting together that studio’s slate of inter-connected DC Comics adaptations.

Obviously Warner Bros. has a very different approach to how it makes its superhero films than Marvel does, but up until now, little was known about exactly how they set about crafting their own interconnected universe. Luckily, Steve recently got the chance to sit down with Atlas Entertainment President and Founder Charles Roven, who produced Christopher Nolan’s Batman films as well each entry in the current slate of DC adaptations, from Man of Steel to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to the upcoming Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman.

As one of the key producers involved in bringing these massive superhero properties to life, Steve took the opportunity to ask Roven if the Warner Bros. DC Cinematic Universe Brain Trust is indeed made up of himself, Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder, and DC Comics Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns:

“I think also very much involved in that brain trust is John Berg, who is the executive vice president at Warner Bros. I would say the Snyders, myself, John Berg, and Geoff Johns would be sort of that Brain Trust… I’m working with great people. They’re all really great people. And not that we don’t—there are many times we agree, and there’s many times we don’t agree [and] we work it out.”

But while these five people may make up the core “brain trust” as it were, Warner Bros. is known for being a filmmaker-driven studio first and foremost, and Roven explained how this philosophy affects the plans that the Brain Trust puts forth:

“The other thing that I really love about what we’re doing is we’re also bringing in really talented other filmmakers and having them come in and create—I call it the sandbox. We’ve got this sandbox of the Justice League DC characters, and we are hoping to create—this series of movies that we’ve announced are somewhat interlinked. The characters move at a throughline that hopefully will take us all the way to Justice League 2, but they also can interact in the other films as well in some way.”

Thus far, the films officially announced leading up to Justice League Part Two are Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, Justice League Part One, The Flash, Aquaman, and Shazam, which all lead to Justice League 2 in 2019. Speaking more specifically about the inter-connectedness of these films, Roven explained that each character’s evolution doesn’t begin and end with his or her own standalone films:

“So if, for example, The Flash movie or the Aquaman film is gonna come out after Justice League 1, it’s not gonna be a completely different character; that character will have evolved from Justice League 1. Wonder Woman, when we see her in Justice League 1, will have evolved from Batman v Superman. Unless we decide that in one of these stories we’re gonna do something that happened in the past and have it be more of an origination story, in which case you’ll realize how that character became what they were in the movie that they were first introduced.”

Is it just me or does Roven seem to be hinting that Wonder Woman may be a prequel of sorts to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice? We’ve heard plenty of rumors of the timeline for the Patty Jenkins-helmed film, with the setting being pegged as the Crimean War, World War I, and Present Day in separate reports. Whatever the case, Roven does confirm that the prequel option is very much in Warner Bros.’ arsenal when it comes to crafting these standalone films.

In summing up exactly how the various filmmakers attached to Warner Bros.’ films affect the Brain Trust’s plans, Roven likened it to an alternate route on a road trip that ultimately ends up in the same place:

“So that’s really challenging and interesting, and you lay out a road map but then when you bring somebody else in they kinda go, ‘Well you’re going to San Francisco by Route 5, what if you took the 101?’ [And you go] ‘Well that’s interesting, maybe we should go Route 101. What if we did?’ And so that changes the whole thing and all of a sudden you realize you can actually get to where you need to get to by a whole different methodology than what you originally planned. Or you might decide to blend the routes. And by doing that it’s very fresh. You’ve got very fresh ideas, very interesting ideas. It’s just really a lot of fun if you’ve got really great collaborative minds working together to try to make things better, more interesting, more fun, more provocative.”

Warner Bros. has certainly been focused on finding diverse and singular filmmakers for its various DC movies, with Snyder (Batman v Superman, Justice League), David Ayer (Suicide Squad), Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman), and James Wan (Aquaman) thus far announced—although the recent news that first-time feature helmer Seth Grahame-Smith is directing The Flash is certainly a departure for the studio in terms of its DC choices—though given WB’s willingness to be more “provocative”, maybe Grahame-Smith’s out-of-left-field hiring is a sign of things to come re: other DC films.

Regardless, it’s fascinating to hear about Warner Bros.’ DC plans straight from one of its key Brain Trust members, and it’s definitely encouraging to hear that the group is more than willing to mix things up if a filmmaker has other ideas.

Love that scene. Great scene
 
RUMOR: WARNER BROS. TO ADD ANOTHER FEMALE SUPERHERO TO "JUSTICE LEAGUE"

According to HeroicHollywood, Warner Bros. has put out word to talent agencies that they are seeking background information on Mera, the Queen of Atlantis, for the first "Justice League" film. Though the report claims Mera will debut in the film, it's unclear if she will join the core Justice League team.

In the comics, Mera is Aquaman's wife and thereby the Queen of Atlantis. Like her husband, she has abilities that have grown out of living in an underwater environment, like super strength, as well as the power to control water in mass quantities. In pre-New 52 continuity, she and Aquaman also have a son. No details about the film's intended version of the character were included in the original report.


Jason Momoa will star as Aquaman in the hero's solo film, expected in 2018. It's likely that both "Justice League" films -- scheduled for 2017 and 2019 -- will also star Momoa. If Mera were to debut in "Justice League," chances are she will reappear in "Aquaman" as well.

Directed by Zack Snyder and starring Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" -- the next DC Cinematic Universe installment -- is scheduled to open on March 25, 2016.

2nd or 3rd smartest thing I've heard so far planned for the WB/DC movies moving forward.

The JL (just like the Avengers) was looking like an all white sausage fest. These execs been smartening up.

I really couldn't name some other female DC hero to be a member so I won't even hate on Mera being in the movie seeming a bit redundant with Aquaman already there.

All these DC movies must plan on being over 3 hrs. Seems like they are trying to fit a ton of stuff in all of these movies.
 
Cast Emilia Clarke as Mera. Then Khal Drogo can push her against an underwater boulder and clap her cheeks underwater too.
 
I heard Supergirl had a sharp decline in viewers with it's 3rd ep but that's not reflected in the graph posted. PErhaps it was based off percentage and not #s or what I heard was wrong.

I do see it coming back down to earth like the other shows eventually did.

News to me.

CW has always been basic tv for me and that's going back to when it was just the WB. I didn't know things changed when they merged with UPN or w/e happened with Viacom and CBS corp.

they are both super bland as serious shows but arrow is way more entertaining because of how unintentionally funny it is

low key best comedy on TV right now 
 
I listen to the sourcefednerd podcast about all the cbm tv shows and they were talking about how arrow is trying to find out how to get more people to watch. I didn't know flash is consistency getting better ratings than them. One thing that would help would be to make the arrow characters less stupid and annoying but that doesn't seem to be on the agenda. The writing is seriously so bad, just because it's on the cw doesn't mean the writers have to make it cw dumb.

They need to keep my bae Sara on the show permanently and have my other bae Thea wear belly shirts again.
 
AoS is pretty good but I didn't think it was pretty much neck and neck with The Flash in ratings.

W/e I enjoy both shows.


Arrow tries too hard and seems like its trying to be Batman most of the time. Flash is doing better because the writing is fun and its not shying away from the fact its a comic property. They had King Shark on an episode for crying out loud.
