So the DCTV Arrowverse is introducing Batwoman and the city of Gotham next Fall.

too bad they can't bring the show Gotham over ("10 years later" as in this season that just ended happened when Oliver was on the island 10 years ago?)

I would change is calling it Gotham Police and ignore Bruce existence/journey as it is really uninteresting time drain. A beat cop dealing with Gotham level crazy crime is more than enough.

I really enjoy Gotham and have very much enjoyed this take on the early years - but I would absolutely agree. I have, by far, enjoyed Jim and Harvey more than Bruce and Alfred. Almost every time they bring him into the plot, it seems forced. And Selena is terrible. And Barbara. Ugh.

I really just want to carry over the villiains.... and the cops.
New actor for Bruce, Selina, and anyone else that was young.

I never watched any DC shows but I thought about starting to watch Gotham, but the whole thing they did with the Joker is beyond stupid.

The DC shows are pretty good. Gotham has to be watched on it's own context but if they do bring it into the Arrowverse then it would be fine by me.

I have had issues with Gotham but over all I enjoy the show. And it could easily merge into the Arrowverse with little work.

Since its apparently too much to read the original source material even adapting DC products to the Big Screen, hopefully they at least were paying attention to Gotham....

I really want DC to start treating their movies like graphic novels. DC does not need to have continuity between movies. I wouldn't mind multiple series of different interpretations going at at a time. Just like in comics.

Long before Ben Affleck was Batman I thought it would be awesome for a project greenlight type show where they get a group of 9 directors and give them a budget and see what they turn out culminating in a Batman movie. The budget for each movie would grow. That would be the best show ever. You would get an interesting show about making movies and you would also get a bunch of movies.

Geoff Johns standing down.

I wonder how this will affect things?

He's going from high level oversight, to writing, producing and on set appearances.
It could be a good thing, he's getting more directly involved in a hands on way.

At least from what I read about about it earlier.

segagamersteph · « **Reply #409 on:** June 11, 2018, 06:49:17 PM »

I thought I also read Jim Lee was taking his place, so whatever it was he did there's at least someone taking over who's competent enough.

I propose they rebrand the DCCU as the Wonder-verse and make her the pillar of those films w/ Batman as backup. They are starting production of WW2 and that seems like it is the only good and reliable thing they got going right now.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #411 on:** July 11, 2018, 11:55:54 AM »

Besides Joaquin Phoenix being cast as the Joker in the "Joker Origins" movie

Here is the first show of Captain Marvel aka Shazam

ignore the sculpted foam shoulder muscles.
Hopefully it's fun.

Prediction: this will be bad.

1/10 of the people going to the movie will be like "where's Shaq?"

1/40 of the people going to the movie will be like "where's Sinbad?"

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #414 on:** July 11, 2018, 08:35:56 PM »

The other 9/10 won't see it.

I think Zachary Levi will really give it his all, as long as the script doesn't suck it could be okay.

Isn't the Rock in this? Good chance it's then watchable?

I actually like the costume. I just wish the pointy parts on the lightning bolt were more pronounced. Looks like he's wearing a deep V.

The Rock has been cast as Black Adam in the Shazam series, but the Rock confirmed he is not in this one.

Ugh, he's like Shazam's main villain. Reading the article, I'm not sure I'd be excited for a stand-alone Black Adam film with the promise of them maybe meeting. :^/

ThePerm · « **Reply #419 on:** July 12, 2018, 06:27:55 PM »

having the main villain isn't always required of a first movie in a series. This one is going to be an Origin story because I don't know **** about Shazam. There's probably going to be a bunch of really old dudes wanting to see this though.

nickmitch · « **Reply #420 on:** July 12, 2018, 10:19:35 PM »

His origin is boooooring, though. Some kid falls in a cave and is given powers by an old wizard. The powers even come with the costume and enough brains to know to use them.

Here is the bad guy lineup for Shazama (AKA CAPTAIN MARVEL HIS REAL NAME)

ThePerm · « **Reply #422 on:** July 12, 2018, 11:41:43 PM »

One of them I imagine will get a redesign. We know he is a bad guy, but Cobra Commander couldn't even wear a hood.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #423 on:** July 13, 2018, 12:15:55 AM »

There's a guy named Captain Nazi? Wow, I did Nazi that coming.
