Holy shit, I hope so! He has been kind of been reliable, so I swear, if true, it makes sense. WB has no other franchises to really utilize. (Harry Potter and LOTR stuff is done).

i hope it is true, but i think that one of the smaller movies is probably a batman movie, Affleck can't be batman for a super long time so they got to get him into a solo movie asap

I used to date this girl who looked a lot like ScarJo. We were pretty serious too. I saw her over the weekend.

Don't do meth kids.

Pasties, your avatar..

Who's ass is that in the picture? It's a nice ass. Keep that one, man. I think more people should appreciate the hindquarters on that one.

^^^ That's my new thing. Since Pasties changes avatars every 30 seconds, I'm going to say shit like that and hope that when somebody reads it they'll automatically assume that they've just missed a really good one and get a serious case of blue balls and beg him to change it back so they can see it again ^^^

Good work today Dev! This may seem weird but I don't see them doing a Batman film with Affleck for a while. It seems WB are developing other heroes and after TDK trilogy, I don't see a Batman film coming out for the next 5/6 years.

This really bums me out how we got this news. Now people won't be freaking out at CC when it's announced because everyone will already know.

The hell..? Kevin Smith may be full of hot air, but I don't reckon he makes shit up to sound good.


This makes me happy. Can't wait for ComicCon.

Yeah, when I read it I sorta got excited but then I realized it was just a rumor. But with it being kind of confirmed, I am not as surprised anymore.

If true, then of course everyone will be complaining about them rushing things or whatever. If they didn't, people would say the DCCU was never happening. Guuhhh. But yeah, if true, they are serious about beating the shit outta Marvel.

I so hope Shazam will be in the same universe with the rest of the DCCU. Because I want to see a fight between Superman and Captain Marvel.

I think this confirms Nikki Finke ruined WB/DC's surprise for fans at comic con. It will be nice to hear an official confirmation but when they announce it won't have the same impact.

Man Of Steel 2. That's the only thing I care about this. Zack Snyder better not direct it.

BatmanHeisenberg - 6/16/2014, 9:56 AM
How did Nikki do anything wrong. When you have a scoop, you release it. You don't keep it in. She was doing her job. I hope she did it well and it's true.

Well, if the rumored news is true, that means we wait until 2018 for MOS2, which does not please me in the least.

Why would Kevin Smith know? just curious, if anyone can inform me then thanks!

This list is very ambition, I'm kinda not so hyped about the GL/Flash team-up, I'd rather a Cyborg or Aquaman movie be there instead.

But so excited for Wonder Woman!
