It's also possible that WB is takin security into consideration; the longer the film is sitting in storage the greater the chance that it gets pirated which will be a huge kick in the teeth.

The threat of "if you don't show your movies with us because we can't show movies at the moment, we won't show your movies" really didn't have the weight they wanted it to.
It's never been a theat. Movies have a contractual obligation to be shown in theaters for a set amount of time before they can be shown anywhere else. The production company signs a contract with the distribution company to distribute the movies exclusively in theaters for something like 6 weeks. Once the theater engagement is over, the production company signs a contract with different distribution companies for the home video release. Movies like Tenant and Bond can't be dumped onto streaming without seeing the inside of a theater for a certain amount of time. Disney and AT&T are able to side-step this issue because they own the production company and the distribution companies. The production company has to pay a massive penalty to the cast and crew but won't be sued by the distribution companies.
Theaters blacklisting distribution companies don't have a leg to stand on. They only hurt themselves. Theaters may have contracts with the distribution companies to show a movie for a set amount of time but these contracts are signed on a per movie basis and typically favor the distribution company. Distribution companies are under no obligation to sign a contract with a particular theater chain for a particular movie.
" The threat came after comments made by NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell regarding the on-demand success of the family film and what that means for the future.
AMC Theatres on Tuesday delivered a blistering message to Universal Pictures, saying the world's largest cinema chain will no longer play any of the studio's films in the wake of comments made by NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell regarding the on-demand success of Trolls World Tour and what it means for the future of moviegoing post-coronavirus pandemic."

And that had a chilling effect -- we really didn't get many big-name movies straight to video after that, other than Scoob, Bill and Ted and Mulan. And Mulan was largely because it had already opened wide in China.
You joke, but color in film is very interesting to me. The page I got that from does it for many different movies, and it's always interesting to see the colors that make up a scene

Just started watching Doom Patrol, which is a comic series I've only ever been vaguely aware of. Enjoying the absolute shit out of it, especially the fact that, following a brief monologue from a random-ass cockroach about a doomed town, I said out loud "what the fuck?" The show is clearly tuned to my brainwaves because not ten seconds later, Robotman follows up with "what the fuck?" in the exact same tone while viewing a town-devouring hole of light in the middle of the street.
Anyway, it's just mind-boggling how Doom Patrol's Cyborg is basically some painted plastic with, sometimes, the eye light on and it looks fifty thousand times better than Snyder's incredibly shitty-looking CG version. How do you fuck up a design that badly with that many millions of dollars available? And then get so embarrassingly upstaged by a budget-conscious design clearly trying to keep the effects budget down? Just... yeesh.
Tudyk's narration makes the whole show for me, though. The guy is clearly having a blast with it, and having the villain (I'm assuming he's the villain at this point, but things are nebulous enough with him that I could see some kind of twist on that later) as the narrator just really works for me.
I've been watching Titans now that it is on HBOMax, and while I give it points for going ham on the TVMA DC comics, Doom Patrol still has it beat on style points. I mean, Titans doesn't have Alan Tudyk or Timothy Dalton.
The crossover between the shows (I guess maybe it was a backdoor Doom Patrol pilot?) was jarring because the Chief was played by someone who was distinctly Not Timothy Dalton and I spent the whole episode waiting for it to be revealed that it wasn't the real Chief.

Like, it's utterly amazing how good it is and the pure joy it brought me with it's fundamentally broken, crappy people is amazing.
I thought it might be too depressing for the sake of being depressing, but the very powerful human elements and injections of comedy really save it from the fate of being dull, grinding hyper-drama.
I mean, I just got to watch existence saved by countering the deCreator with a reCreator who was summoned by reading magic words hidden on a dog, which followed shortly on the heels of the gutpunch of Rita trying to cheer up the deCreator's "sacrifice" and having him vaporized in front of her. I don't feel the show is simply trying to punish me for watching it.
And these seasons are huge. Each episode is basically an hour and near double the size of the usual streaming show season, so even if the show ends at S2 I feel like the show still got a ton of time. It actually is a pretty solid work for showing why writing carries a show so much more than special effects; it's clear they're trying to keep the effects budget down as much as they can, but it works extremely well because the show is about the characters rather than being about big comic book fights.

Zack Snyder is looking to bring his highly anticipated director's cut of Justice League to the big screen — and his new footage would likely tip the four-hour opus into an R-rating.
"Here's one piece of information nobody knows: The movie is insane and so epic and is probably rated R — that's one thing I think will happen, that it will be an R-rated version, for sure," Snyder tells EW. "We haven't heard from the MPAA, but that's my gut."
Asked for details about what makes the new footage explicit, Snyder reveals, "There's one scene where Batman drops an F-bomb. Cyborg is not too happy with what's going on with his life before he meets the Justice League, and he tends to speak his mind. And Steppenwolf is pretty much just hacking people in half. So [the rating would be due to] violence and profanity, probably both."
Perhaps an even bolder move than a cussing Dark Knight is Snyder pushing for Warner Bros. to release his recut and supersized HBO Max film on the big screen in 2021, at a time when parent company WarnerMedia is trying to boost its nascent streaming service with as much exclusive content as possible. To be clear, a decision on whether to release the film theatrically has not yet been made, and Warner Bros. had no comment for this story. But Snyder has previously stated that adding a big-screen rollout along with the HBO Max release is his preference and now the director suggests steps are being taken in that direction.
Whelp, Justice League being rated R kills any interest I have in it. Batman throwing around F-bombs....so edgy. 🙄

The movie was already going to be a bit of a downer mess because that is just how Snyder sees comic books. But the fact that he doesn't get the Justice League at the most fundamental levels is proven by this very article and what he is trying to do with this cut of the movie.

I can see Bruce Wayne Batman saying "Fuck", but not as Batman. As, like Matches Malone or another undercover persona he would of course adapt his speech patterns to the person he was imitating.
I have a feeling that's not what Snyder means though.

I could see it working for Batman if you throw it in the same way The Witcher does. Just that even Snyder's super murdery Batman doesn't come off as the sort to casually drop f-bombs. Aquaman, sure, but not Bats.
Weirdly vague story. Patty Jenkins was not a fan of Joss' Justice League, but not for the same reasons as everyone else I think.
“I think that all of us DC directors tossed that out just as much as the fans did,” Jenkins said about Whedon’s “Justice League” theatrical cut. “But also, I felt that that version contradicted my first movie in many ways, and this current movie, which I was already in production on. So then, what are you going to do? I was like…you would have to play ball in both directions in order for that to work.”
Jenkins noted that she worked closely with Snyder to maintain a sense of character continuity for Diana Prince/Wonder Woman through “Wonder Woman,” Snyder’s “Justice League,” and the upcoming “Wonder Woman 1984.” Jenkins and Snyder mapped out where Diana would “sort of end up” by the end of the “Justice League” Snyder cut, thus allowing Jenkins to pick up with the character in “Wonder Woman 1984” in a natural way.
I have so many questions about this, but it's not going to be enough to get me to sit through four hours of Snyderverse.

Just for character progression it makes sense that her character at the end of 1984 will fit in with BvS and Justice League. The giant time gaps in her movie series make the whole thing a little strange though. The real head scratcher is that given what Snyder did with every other member of the Justice League, what the heck got Jenkins excited about what he was going to do with Wonder Woman?
Shut up, Mr. Burton! You were not brought upon this world to get it!
I think it's the bit where it's stated that she didn't do anything significant in all that time. Which makes making a movie with her doing something significant in that time a little more challenging unless you either ignore the statement, or write it so that no-one knows that it happened (which limits you options on large public events, etc).

Always an issue when the time period includes WWII. Even if you were living in a cave so you didn't know it was happening, I'd have to think that popping out for groceries and discovering you sat out the Holocaust would leave some sort of a mark. Honestly, the only real consistency in the DCEU is just how little interest any of the characters have in actually being heroes. Shazam being the notable exception on that.

The DC comics had a reason for the golden age heroes to not get directly involved, but I don't know if it's still in effect. Hitler had the Spear of Destiny, which would allow him to mind control any superhero that got close enough.
