DC Entertainment to do fewer lesser-known non superpowered movies

@dbapz

I'm more of a DC comics fan than Marvel, but I have to admit that currently Marvel are a head of DC.

the failer of Jonah Hex and the Losers is cause of the producer of Akiva Goldsman. most likely WB will fire him or ban him from any comic book movie at WB.

i know marvel is making more movies and everything but really when you look at it, sony and fox are pumping out shit movies so they don't lose the rights
i love marvel movies and i love dc movies
but you can't say DC is making movies that will only make them cash because thats what every studio does regardless

@dbapz

what i meant is that DC only wants to make movies that will guarantee them money, so they wont bother with lesser know characters.

@jazzman

i get what you are saying, but financially,Green Lantern and The Flash have more chance of making a lot of money,not as close as The Dark Knight's gross, but more like Iron Man 1 and 2 than Vertigo comics or properties like Red, Lobo, or Sgt Rock etc.

In the article they say that they passed on Red because they want to focus only on the properties that have a big chance of making money.

@jazzman

Blame Harry Potter, we never saw that many DC comics movies because Warner wanted to focus on the Harry Potter movies,thank God that Harry Potter finishes next year.

You can't blame warner, this is a studio, full of people taht is not doing the movies because they want to make the world a better place, they're making money. People like the mainstream DC charcters, that's what they should do in the movies. period.
Of course there's a lot of stories outside the mainstream that could be done, but right now, i preffer they focus on the cuality of their proyects, like they been doing with Batman.
Jhonah Hex was terrible; The losers was funny, but it wasnt a great movie. i'm agrre with the Akiva Goldsman issue. The producers rape the movies until there is nothing else to rape.
If the filmakers doesn't have any mony or does not have the courage to stand up against this producers, the movies could fail badly, because the producers not always have any taste or knowldege of what is to make a good movie.
If you want to know how hollywood works, chek this monologue of Kevin Smith, very eyeopening.

And i think that keep comparing marvel and DC strategies is silli, childish and useless.

@ charbelelnasr - Are you smoking ganga? It's a business about making money. MARVEL also wants to be in the same business, if this was the case then MARVEL would have continued with another HULK flick. Also if it wasn't for MARVEL not having their rights to Spidey, XMEN, FF; IM and the Avengers would have not been a priority. They were forced to follow their path their own now.

To me it would be best for both DC and Marvel to use TV more. The lesser known charecters would work better I think for TV. If they get popular enough then take them from the small to the big screen.
