DCEU Era |OT2| Joker's Wild

WW84 and Joker are done, both are being screened to test audiences. Birds of Prey is filmed. They have stuff to show.
More likely it's the turbulence at the top of Warner Media and unsure how they want to market stuff until that gets settled.
Unlikely. I just think it's case of 'go big or go home' and rather than running the risk of being completely overshadowed by a post Endgame Marvel and whatever they will announce they'll just sit it out this year.
It's the same strategy that Sony employed over MS at this year's E3. Emmerich has already said that they'll be back at SDCC 2020.
Nah. There are millions of comic book movie fans out there watching nearly everything fromDC and Marvel they can get their hands on (I know many of them). If most of them didn't go see Shazam, then it's either the fault of the movie, or the marketing of the movie. And I don't think it was the movie. The movie was great.
Everything about shazam's marketing sucked. They dropped the ball hard. Movie should have done twice what it did.
Shazam sold as a comedy movie and made what a comedy movie makes on the high end and unfortunately that isn't enough because it's budget was $100m while non superhero comedies are $10m-$40m.
So in essence, Shazam did good as a comedy movie but not as a superhero movie in terms of numbers. Though it was profitable for WB but not by a lot when compared to their other profitable films.

4CHAN RUMORS
NICE AND HOT
NICE AND HOT
Some takes from those "rumors"
- BoP referring to a missing Batman is strange. It would have worked to explain Batfleck's absence, but it'd be strange if they are planning to position Battinson as the Batman for their universe going forward
- Based Rock getting Eiza Gonzalez into the DCEU
- That Trench project is still super dumb, and if they're giving it to the dude who is responsible for the awful work on Swamp Thing, that shit is truly dead in the water
- B-Coop ending up as Hal after all this time would be funny
- No way is WB working with Michael Dougherty ever again after he fucked up on Godzilla
- Lili Reinhart as Kara is damn fine casting
- Ansel Egort could make for an interesting Barry
- Ben Foster as Riddler, Serkis as Penguin, fucking yes please
- Nice to have an additional shred of hope that Shazam 2 is happening

Meanwhile my man Supes waiting next to the phone like
He's like that sad older dog at an animal shelter that no one wants to take home :(
And they're going to give Brainiac to Supergirl. What a waste.Meanwhile my man Supes waiting next to the phone like

I don't buy it just yet myself. I'd suggest we wait and see.
Also J_Viper , I think the plan is Battinson is just going to be set in a different "world" than the old DCEU altogether. Hence why Batfleck is missing in BoP.
Just wondering, Does DC announces new movies like marvel or they announce them individually as they enter production?
They announce them when the CEO wants a bonus check that year.
Kevin Smith has some info about Suicide Squad, nothing major, but worth a listen... Video is time stamped
Happy 30th birthday Batman 1989. You were my conduit into Bat mythos and DC generally.
Feelin old.

Well, if it's anything to go by, I've showed every leaked costume of Harley to a co-worker of mine and she's flipping out at how amazing they all are. Costume designer must be on point. Spoiler - I have no fashion sense.
I wasn't going to mention this as it's not even a rumour, if anything it's 'informed speculation', but I was talking to a friend, who is working on a big series for a streaming platform, about the Swamp Thing series and it's odd cancellation. He isn't connected to it at all and hadn't heard anything but his own personal theory on what happened was fascinating.
He said that though the series may have been expensive to make if it was connecting with audiences then the studio would have found a way to make it work especially as they owned the IP and the platform it was 'airing' on. An example of this would be Supergirl moving from CBS to CW. To accommodate the lower budget afforded by the CW the production moved from LA to Canada.
The fact that WB announced it's cancellation almost as soon as it premiered showed that they were prepared to cut it's throat and move on right away. A fact made all the more surprising given that it was produced by James Wan, the studio's current favourite son and someone who just gave them a billion dollar plus DC film.
His theory? That the studio killed Swamp Thing stone dead because a big name filmmaker wanted to do a film(s) based on the "DC magic" characters and didn't want another interpretation of the character onscreen while he/her was preparing to do their thing. If it was a big enough name with enough power at the studio he thinks this would be an entirely plausible idea in this current war of the big name IPs and streaming platforms.
For comparison he argued that had Gotham been a show on the DC Universe platform Matt Reeves would have insisted that WB 'kill it' so he alone can do his vision of Batman without competing with another show. As it turns out that series just ran out steam just as Reeves was gearing up so it wasn't issue.
I sort of dismissed this until I later remembered this rumour....
The fact this was being reported by TheOneRing lead it some credibility at the time.
Is any of this remotely true? I honestly have no idea as it's just one theory being floated around but I thought I'd share it all the same if just for talking's sake.
This was going to be my reply almost word for word. The way WB have made Robbie's Harley Quinn connect with female audiences is incredible given that she's been in one (relatively??) poorly received film and even that was an ensemble.
Women will turn up in droves for Birds Of Prey which, considering CBM fans and men will turn up regardless, is what is going to put the film 'over the top' at the box office.
