The DC Extended Universe DC Films Universe is in a very confusing place right now; Warner Bros. is moving away from movies which all tie into each other and are launching a separate banner for releases that are totally standalone. The first of those is expected to be an origin story for The Joker and while that's only been rumoured up until now, both that new banner and the film are now official.
That's despite the lack of any sort of press release announcing the launch of this new DC Films banner but Geoff Johns promises that the title of the label will be revealed "soon-ish" so something is clearly in the works. Why it's taking so long is hard to say but the studio is a tad disorganised with all things DC!
Perhaps Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment is trying to figure out which films will join The Joker as a standalone tale. Could Nightwing and Shazam take place in a world separate to Justice League?
And if so, won't that be incredibly confusing for regular moviegoers? We'll just have to wait and see but with Comic-Con a long way off, we simply don't know when and where Warner Bros. will start revealing what's in store for us. What do you guys think?
