Geoff Johns Says We Should Expect Two DC CBMs Every Year

Geoff Johns Says We Should Expect Two DC CBMs Every Year

Good news from NYCC. Apparently Geoff Johns has announced that we will be seeing two DC comic book movies per year from now on. Click for the details..

We knew that DC/WB were planning to ramp up their comic book movie output in teh absence of their main money spinner, The harry Potter franchise. But it looks like those plans include quite a few more movies than we figured.

From Cinemablend..

Our own Katey Rich, who is currently at New York Comic Con, is reporting that DC Comics Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns expects two DC properties to hit theaters every year after the end of the Harry Potter franchise. The second most successful franchise of all time, the Harry Potter films have brought in nearly $2 billion at the box office since 2001 and each averages about $285 million. Naturally, the end of the series leaves a big whole in the pocket of the studio, and, apparently, they believe that their comic book rights are the perfect remedy.

We know we have the Superman reboot on the way, Batman 3 and of course Green Lantern and its potential sequels as well as a Flash movie. But so far nothing else has really been discussed, let alone confirmed. We already heard from Johns earlier when he reiterated that a Justice League movie wouldn't seem to be on the cards anytime soon. But if DC/WB are planning on two movies a year, surely it couldn't be TOO long before that happens? Either way, which DC movies would you like to see fill those slots in the coming years?

I agree with Gaston. I wanna see these movies done right not rushed. As for Jonah Hex and The Losers, I've not seen either and before the movies were released had not even heard of either of them so I expect these 2 movies a year to be their big name characters so we CAN look forward to them.

"no diversity in DC. everyone's white."
Tell that to Amanda Waller, John Stewart, Black Lightning, The Spectre, Steel, Tempest and Vixen just to name a few black DC characters

I'd like to see a well done Teen Titans movie. One with the original titans in it. Nightwing, beast boy, starfire, raven, donna troy, and kid flash. Hell, throw in aqualad and jericho too. Have the first movie be slade, 2nd be a betrayal movie with Tera, then a final movie with trigun. And have the first 2 setting up Trigun. Should be amazing if they do it right.

@frogsplash45: lol I was just making a point, there are loads, I could try and list all of them but it would take a while.
I honestly would be happy to see most DC characters come to the big screen, especially big names, I personally like the idea of using a common villain behind the scenes to link the movies but I'm not bothered if they don't. Who do you guys think the villain should be in a Wonder Woman movie if it gets made? I personally would want Cheetah (any of them) but its more likely for it to be Ares.

AQUAMAN should have a movie like an underwater version of THOR. An origin story, showing Arthur Curry discovering his powers and at the end facing his worst enemy, the Black Manta.

well Jonah Hex and The Loser sucked cause the stupid producer Akiva Goldsman was behind that project.

Red well its a DC comic but its also at another studio Summit Entertainment not WB. if that movie does well at the cinema it would be an insult to WB who did not make a success out of Jonah Hex and The Losers. they need to fire Akiva Goldsman who f**ked up alot of comic book film.

Thank god. I've been hearing so much crap from my Marvel fanboy friends about DC not making a lot of movies. xD

I think Green Arrow would make an awesome movie, and it could be used to introduce The Question, widening the fanbase of the original characters Watchmen came from. Green Arrow and Q team up to save the day by some plot I am too lazy to think of right now!! With the right staff and actors, it could be pulled off greatly.

I'm really looking forward to Green Lantern and Flash, along with Superman 3: The Man Of Steel.

But one of my worries is that DC will do to GL what they did to Batman... overexploit him for years and make him their flagship character. GL DOES deserve the limelight, but so do all the other characters of DC.

A Wonder Woman movie done by the same style they did the movie 300, would be amazing. Wonder Woman VS Ares!!!! Has anyone played Spartan: Total Warrior? I think that if, instead of the 300 style, it was done like Spartan: Total Warrior, it would make an amazing movie. Ha, both styles would be amazing.

Doing so after 2012 is a terrific idea, seeing as Marvel Studios is releasing these 2-by-2 every once in a while. DC Entertainment has not even started yet and has a clean slate for all 70 years of their heroes that don't need to be bought back over the course of 20 years. At that, DC is launching tent pole franchises.

2011- Green Lantern
2012- Batman 3 & Man of Steel
2013- Flash & Green Lantern 2
2014- Wonder Woman & Green Arrow
2015- Aquaman & Shazam!

Since Wonder Woman is probably a TV show, I doubt they'll make a movie, but who knows.

I want to see a Green Arrow movie or TV show!

Actually THE QUESTION would work perfect on TV, IMO.

flames809 - 10/9/2010, 1:54 PM
so they are doing trilogies for each character then putting them together. so by that means Nolan batman will also be part of the justice league.
