Its over

Honestly if they were going to do a full reboot they should wait like 5- 7 years after their current slated releases & just focus on The Batman & Joker movies for now

Reposting what I said in the Batman thread:

I’m not even saying incorporate him in the current DCEU. Make The Batman their “Iron Man” (in terms of movie Phase structure). If that’s not the case they’re going to have to do some Crisis bs to reset the universe anyway.

Look at it like this: Batman The Animated series had a completely different feeling than Superman TAS and eventually the Justice League series. The DCAU built off Batman TAS. No reason that The Batman can’t do the same.

Gotham and Metropolis have always been polar opposites and seeing that in film will accentuate that even more.

Plus I think Batman being a grounded character who is exposed to the super powered side of the world could be a great way to make Batman the POV character of a Justice League movie for example.

If they do it, my hope is any crossovers are outward meaning that a Justice League movie would have Rob but they wouldn’t use Robs movie to set it up. A Teen Titans movie could use Matt’s Robin but not use a Batman movie for setup. Things like that I think could work really well.

Also, I don’t think Matt’s going to cancel any plans he had unless he wanted to.

DCAU really should be the blueprint

just because The Batman's current universe is super dark and realistic, does not mean it cannot be within a greater universe that has fantastical elements about it. there are every day things in these comic books that deal with more true to life situations.

a universe does not have to be mutually exclusive to being fantastical or super realistic. I am beyond tired of seeing an insanely realistic Batman, I want to see him be in the Justice League and fight alongside Superman as the World's Finest at some point.

with that said, Gotham can be completely about and contained within Gotham with Reeves building.

Superman can be completely contained and about Metropolis. Some movies will have stingers that glue them together, but expanding this universe will take some time and some interjecting between the films. I can see this soft reboot of the DCU being well done, The Batman is a cornerstone for this moving forward since there are literally no other Batman options at this point and the fact of how successful it was and well received it has been.

enough endless franchises and shared universes!

oh well there we go

what if they're playing the semantics game. the report said they are exploring the possibility, when in reality its already set in stone. would be funny just to keep things as a surprise

have you not seen James already debunk this?

calling it now blue beetle gonna be one of the biggest flops next year batgirl theatrically would have made more money i bet

ive seen it.

it doesnt sway me. and what i posted doesnt take away from his rebuttal.

this is a company that you absolutely can not trust. they are a "remains to be seen" group. or have we forgotten about frosty the snowman

this hurt to read :(

Did they give blue beetle a high budget? No big stars in that film, so even if it does
Black Adam numbers it would still be good for WB

it not gonna do black adam numbers lol

s*** gon do slightly better than wonder twin numbers

lmao
