The shit getting traction vs. the shit they can't seem to move forward (core characters at that) is astounding.

By "core", he means Batman. Wonder Woman + Batman will probably be out before The Trench is.
There's no script, there's no director, there's not even a title. It's in the same exact state as Superman.
As a fan I'm just not going to support any of these DC properties that don't have any connection to the DCU. Maybe old man Warner Bros. will finally learn their lesson.
I mean, nah. But I'm not at the point in my fandom where every idea sounds great.
So you do the Trench and pull off a great horror film, there's probably no reason to tie it to Aquaman, as it's not like premise is really out there or unique.
As an example, I'm not losing my mind over The Eternals or anything. Just sounds like a bad idea.

That's fair. Just pointing out that there's no limit to the amount of DC properties per year. In a 12 month span, there will be four DC movies with entirely different production pipelines. For better or worse.
They can write this in 3 days. A bit like "The Fog", a fishermen town attacked by a pack of these creatures during a big touristic event... Like Gremlins on PCP.
No link needed to Aquaman, use some old lighthouse legend, and cast a group of survivors. A lot of night, a lot of rain, add some gore and... voilà.
The creature could be on a 80's horror movie VHS cover

I'd take that concept and perhaps set it on a boat that went off course. Basically what we got in Aquaman, but way bigger, no superheroes, and expendable characters to wipe out. Like a cruise ship or cargo ship got off course and lost power. Trench get onboard and everyone is trying to survive until day light.
Alternatively, a whaling boat. Post credit scene is Aquaman hearing about the attack and asked is he'll help. He just goes "nah. fuck em."

Same way zombie, alien, or vampire movies don't. It's basically the premise for 30 Days of Night.
It's a horror movie in which Wan is involved.
Horror movies are WBs bread and butter.
Chill.
Something new in the CBM genre is always welcome.

Like I said, it's pretty easy to envision the project, just no reason to really tie it to Aquaman. It's essentially a standard "horde" horror film.
And given the above, it'll likely be a project like the Conjuring Universe, giving Wan a chance to find and test out newer directors. (Shazam's Sandberg was a Wan find.)
Shazam will be successful, folks just need to temper their expectations, I think.
I'm still calling Joker the breakout this year. At least as much as an R-Rated film can breakout.
Potential spoilers on how Shazam opens from the junior novelization

Very cool, and confirms something seen in that mini-spot WB put out last month.
Sivana was that first boy who entered the Rock of Eternity.
And some previews, I guess

Like not surprised but it still hurts that's confirmed while aquaman is still playing and I'm out here begging for a Superman cameo 😭
James Wan will lead The DCCU to new heights! Looking forward to the next couple of years.
not a big deal he is a frequent wan collaborator, wouldn't surprise me if wan brought someone else in aswell to get the script to the level he wants. Think the script for the first film already started prior to him helming, so his involvement from the start is only a good thing in my opinion
Yeeeeah... I'm good with the Blu-Ray box set for the 4 OG movies. My gf just got me the Dark Knight Trilogy 4K box set for my bday so I'm 4k'd out.
Well everyone was talking about DC building a Batverse... Wan been constructing the underseas for DC
Can't wait for them spin-offs
I bet by year's end we'll hear about a prequel TV series that focuses on the first Atlanteans
I'd kinda be interested in a show about Atlantis before it sunk. From the flashbacks, it had this steam punk fantasy thing going on.
Also Wan's coy responses are pretty funny.

he already said he doesn't want to control the main universe.
