1st look at Robin from upcoming TV show Titans

http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2017/12/01/first-look-tvs-newest-robin?sf175027241=1

Berlanti is involved, but no idea if this is part of Arrowverse as it is airing on the WB streaming service.

Batman Ninja looks awful. Character designs are too busy andeverything is over the top.

It's anime.

I thought Ninja Samurai Batman looked pretty cool. Didn't like that it was a "Batman falls in an alternative universe" scenario.

So, they're definitely not "teen" Titans.

At least the costumes don't look like cheap cosplay.

The Berlantiverse crossovers are gonna be on some Infinity War **** pretty soon, as you know they are gonna connect them all.

Personally, I've stopped watching ALL the CW Arrowverse shows, as it's just too much, too many shows, too many episodes, and if I kept up, that's practically all I would be watching.

I'm sure it'll be easier once it's all binge-able on Netflix over the summer or something.

I stopped the Arrowverse shows at the end of last season too. Far too laborious viewing. I found myself yelling at the TV because of all the ridiculous decisions way too much.

So my wife and I finally went to see Justice League, and surprisingly, my wife was the one more pissed off and ranting. She is fairly casual so it was quite interesting to hear her so wound up. I'm also impressed with how much she caught on a first viewing.

She really liked Wonder Woman and Aquaman, but was furious over the new Flash. She loves the Arrowverse so I can't really blame you, Arrowverse Flash is MUCH more likable and befitting of the role. Don't want to hate on the JL Flash actor as he did have some funny bits, but he didn't feel like a Flash. Would have been much better if he was a different character (maybe the Blue Beetle if they wanted another young and slightly awkward character without confidence?).

She also went off on the crappy CGI, everything from SuperLip to Steppenwolf to just the general art style and overuse of CGI. I think she genuinely expected something more in line with an MCU style film. They really should have taken a bit more time to put everything together in separate films before trying to dive into a full JL film.

The whole time afterwards we theorized how the film could have gone with the main Arrowverse characters, and it really hit home how much of a complete miss it was to ignore them in the DCU films. Despite the missteps of the shows in recent seasons there is a lot of goodwill there and a strong fan base. They should

Jeoff Johns and Jon Berg outted as the 2 incharge for the DCMovieVerse
new leadership to lead the way now...
http://variety.com/2018/film/news/warner-bros-taps-walter-hamada-to-oversee-dc-films-production-exclusive-1202652878/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

They were literally brought in just in time to not diffuse a bomb, but try to minimize it's damage... then get forced to fall on the sword for the destruction it left behind? Welp... that's business.
Hopefully this new guy can get into these projects early and steer this ship back on course.

Aquaman being the only movie too far in to do nothing about (and maybe it will be good?).
But Shazam, WW2, and The Batman can hopefully be something that stands apart from the previous snyderverse that came before it.

Good/Bad news guys.

Joss Whedon no longer working on Batgirl.

No, I'm not joking. LMAO

nickmitch · « **Reply #364 on:** February 22, 2018, 06:02:52 PM »

That's pretty funny, but kind of fucked up for anyone hoping for a Batgirl movie. They could've found someone who had ideas from the start.

I'm just hoping they can get a woman to write/direct and that there isn't any sexual bat-tension with her and Bruce.

Adapt Batgirl:Year One. Easy peasy

I saw one report that one viewer said nice things about an early Aquaman screening...they've got 10 months left to **** it up. I honestly think I'm done with DC movies.

I am okay with anything but The Killing Joke. Batgirl: Year One would work pretty easily yes.

UncleBob · « **Reply #368 on:** February 22, 2018, 10:18:09 PM »

To be fair, The Killing Joke (the GN, not the terrible animated movie) was a *great* Joker story. It was a terrible Batgirl story.

I say, make Batgirl Alfred's niece and give everyone nipples but her. That's grade a storytelling right there.

As long it isn't an origin story because **** everyone we have enough of those to sink a cargo ship.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #370 on:** February 22, 2018, 11:00:54 PM »

I'm pretty sure "I couldn't come up with a story" is a cover for something else.
Either Joss really had just lost his touch, or DC is such a mess for him after his involvement with JL , their firing of executives, and complete disorganization and lack of a plan for the DCEU, that he decided to walk away from a passion project of his.

Almost none of the projects in the DC pipe right now have the original director attached.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #371 on:** April 29, 2018, 10:33:38 PM »

So now that Marvel has executed Thanos with attention to quality befitting a villain of such stature.
10 years and 19 movies of development through mostly teases before a starring role in the biggest movie ever.....

....where does this leave DC and their plan to bring Darkseid to face the Justice League?
We all know DC was trying to rush to this point, but Marvel still beat them to the Ultimate Big Bad showdown. With on the surface Darkseid and Thanos being so similar... should DC still push forward with the "plan"?

Or just reboot the entire thing?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #372 on:** April 29, 2018, 11:49:26 PM »

Just make some decent movies. They're 1 out of 5 so far.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #373 on:** April 30, 2018, 12:33:50 AM »

but that doesn't address the concern of them repeating "Thanos" vs the ~~Avengers~~ Justice League, only with much less build up and fanfare.

Should they still proceed with Darkseid, as stated in JL or should they swerve and do Starro or Bizarro or Braniac or whatever other big villains they got before diving straight into Darkseid?

oohhboy · « **Reply #374 on:** April 30, 2018, 12:50:59 AM »

They need to throw away the idea they will ever have a DCU. They have lost the war.

They have DCTV going good for them and hope to god they don't **** with it by adding a U to it. They can't handle a universe. When they bring all these people together the crossover either meltdown like Flash over or they do ok but I don't think they know why.

They need to stop making comic book movies and just make movies.
