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?
