    Lex Luthor is too pimp for that

    The whole "no killing" thing is superman trying to cover up the fact that Lex Luthor always manages to escape before he can land the final blow

    So from 2014-2020 there will be 39 superhero related films released! (assuming those undated films are released within that time frame). I'm wondering how many of those are likely to be cancelled? It just seems unthinkable that they'll manage to churn out that many flicks, regardless of quality, without people having had enough but maybe I'm wrong.

    i think maybe a couple people in the tv thread are at least lukewarm on it, but I don't think anyone here is a fan

    still ain't seen any of it myself

    With the DC one I'm assuming they'll wait and see how feel Bats vs Supes does financially, which considering it's Batman and Superman having fisticuffs it'll make $$$$,which will then give Warner Bros the confidence to start churning out the rest of their planned films. I can't see them worry about critical acclaim either, and instead will be taking the Transformers approach of 'this made $1 billion so let's make more'.

    I just wonder at what point that decision will it catch up with them.

    Keep in mind that marvel is likely to greenlight more "smaller" movies like big hero six as well, they just won't get huge announcements

    BvS is guaranteed to come out, and since it'll likely be successful, Suicide Squad and the first Justice League are also very likely to come out. The rest, yes.

    It also looks like someone just drew a question mark on the cup in sharpie 5 minutes before they shot the scene after the director worried it might not be clear enough he's The Riddler.

    WTF is Justice League Dark? Are they saying they will go even darker than they currently are going? How is that even possible? Just two hours of CG puppy murders?

    Oh FAQ it is so fuckin' bad

    The only ad I keep seeing about it has a guy deliver in the most hamfisted way possible "Yeah take it easy PENGUIN"

    and then he goes "You know I don't like to be called that"

    and it's like

    guuuhuhhhhhhhh

    it's exactly what that PA comic was.

    It was the team of Supernatural heroes that Del Toro was attached to and is almost certainly never coming out.

    It's Guillermo del Toro's project starring Constantine, Zatanna, and Swamp Thing that will never get made

    From what I understand that's a leftover from pre-DCCU plans, Guillermo Del Toro was attached to it. I'd be surprised to see it ever come out, unless they just retool it to be Justice League 3 or whatever.

    It's a different team than the regular Justice League, as far I can tell it is: Shade the Changing Man, Madame Xanadu, Deadman, Zatanna, Mindwarp and John Constantine? Or that's what the first trade's description is.
