As most people who care about such things are probably aware, when Warner Bros was rechristened Warner Bros Discovery, the new owners made cutting costs a priority. One way doing so is cancelling various projects, such as Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah’s Batgirl, which saved the studio $90 million. Though recently James Gunn, the […]
Recently James Gunn buried the hatchet with Henry Cavill about his iteration of Superman not making it into the revamped DCU, instead deciding to go with a younger version of the character. He did the same with Dwayne Johnson, who played Black Adam, though when he did so he was very likely lying and possibly […]
Remember when Dwayne Johnson tried to essentially muscle his into running the DCEU by doing things like going above Walter Hamada to get Henry Cavill to cameo in Black Adam – now keep in mind that I’m not a fan of Walter Hamada, though there is a such thing as a chain of command – […]
Remember when I wrote that Walter Hamada wasn’t long for the head of DC Films last September? I was right because while I didn’t name the circumstances under which he would leave the post, leave it he did and from the outside looking in it’s fairly obviously why: He had no idea what he was […]
In 2021 Warner Bros, then run by Jason Kilar, was purchased by Discovery Communications though prior to the deal being finalized a Batgirl film was in development, and recently completed. Originally the plan was that it was going to premiere on HBOMax, though executives were seemingly so impressed with what they were seeing that it […]
Let’s be honest. The executives over at DC/Warner Bros – lead by Walter Hamada – have no idea what they’re doing. This has been fairly obvious before he took the helm though Hamada seems to be continuing in a grand tradition of really dumb decisions (most recently sacrificing their 2021 slate on the altar of […]
I haven’t seen Aquaman in theaters–despite it featuring one of my favorite characters, Black Manta–because, as far as the DCEU (or whatever they choose to call it) I’m done. Under ‘creative genius’ Zach Snyder I felt that there was so little faith in these characters that they were Batman and Superman in name only. Yet […]
According to Reddit this is an image of Batman, as he will appear in Titans (a series launched on DC Universe, their new streaming service). Now, here’s my problem: It’s likely that the separation between DC’s television and movie properties will continue, so doesn’t having a TV version of Batman-alongside a movie version likely coming […]
I caught Star Wars: The Last Jedi last weekend and have no idea what all the hullabaloo is about (by which I mean I understand many of the complaints, though they’re not terribly persuasive when looked at in context). It’s a decent movie though as far as I can tell all the rancor revolving around […]
