Time Warner announced today that Networks and Film businesses posted record profits this quarter. As part of their conference call, DC films were brought up.

Tuna Amobi - Standard & Poor's Equity Group

"...on the DC comics initiative it seems like you have a bunch of paddles in the [works] right now can you talk a little bit about the upcoming release strategy there I know you are working on Green Lantern then The Flash, Wonder, Justice League those titles any time frame and how you see the economics of the overall comics really this kind of affect in the studio margins as a whole and any multi platform implication would also be helpful for that area."

Jeff Bewkes - Chairman & CEO

"If you go to your question on DC, we are going to have a fairly interesting set of announcements and presentations pretty soon like in a matter of weeks I think. About our plans for DC and basically if you look across the title of the whole band of hits whether its Batman, The Dark Knight, Green Lantern coming up, Superman, there have been a huge number of franchised films that have been part of the Warner [tent pole] strategy that's been the reason for Warner's unparallel high and consistent earnings advantage over the other studios and DC has already been a part of that and we are now going to outline an even more expansive plan for that in the coming months."



DogsOfWar-Wow, in a matter of weeks we might see where DC films is headed. Hopefully there is some progress on their most iconic superhero characters. Superman is an ugly legal mess but maybe we can hear solid news on The Flash or Wonder Woman. For the full Q4 2009 conference report, click on the link below. The above quotes are from page 9.

I think they might be in "Oh Shit" mode. If you look at Marvel's film slate right now compared to DC...they have some catching up to do. I hope we get some news on TDK sequel, Flash, Wonder Woman and God help us...SUPERMAN!

All they (WB/DC) do is [frick]in' talk and thumb twiddle. I imagine seeing The Flash just begin take a serious turn in, say, 2015.

It's hard to get excited by these procrastinating gits who announce a bunch of shit, get fans excited and then fail to launch it and ultimately either back burn it or scrap it completely.

What the [frick] happen to the promises of creating a DC Film branch? After much dicking around they finally get on Green Lantern. When they should be many months into the production then they are now.

I bet their big ass brainstorm is to tell the public that they are going ahead with a third Batman film. That's it. Then we will all be like, "Oh, well that's cool... but what about all the other shit, assholes?!"

In response they will then take another few months of meetings to decide if The Flash should be next or should they be big pussies and wait to see when GL comes out how well it does before they [frick]ing budge on anything else.

Sometimes I wanna slap those indecisive bitches in the head and tell them to take a leap of [frick]ing faith once in awhile and [frick]ing go for it. Quit looking over Marvel's [frick]ing shoulder and start making movies on your own motivation. I want to see The Flash movie before I'm [frick]in' dead.

Its kind of a big sigh when you lie on your bed after a long hard day. Or maybe a poo that you've been holding onto and finally got to the restroom to release it. Thats this kind of news.
Its good.

@Tyler, if they can just get their heads far enough
outta their butts to free up their ears they may
notice what all we fans have been saying and start
figuring out a plan to bring Flash & WW to the screen
and get a plan in place for an eventual JL movie!

Its not that much of a leap of faith if they realize
that a lot of people want a Flash & WW movie! They
already know their Dark Knight is selling!
Geez Warners, either crap or get off the pot!!!!

DC needs to step up with the live action movies. the animated ones are generally pretty good, but other than the recent Batman movies, they haven't given us anything worth watching since Superman II (have to admit I actually saw that in the theater way back when). If they can straighten things out, then a Supeman/Doomsday wouold be great with an intro of some tother superheroes like it happened in the comic.

@Multi & SP-Sandman would def be hard to translate into the big screen for a studio. There's not a lot of warm & fuzzy feel good moments in there. Maybe Spike Jonze or Darren Aronofsky could take a crack at it.

SirPrize-Try, just try, not to think of Tea when I say warm & fuzzy feel good moments in there

Come on! Wake up DC, they have an incredible character in Superman and they waste their time with second rate characters. Get Superman done right!

Del Toro would be another good pick although I'd like to see him do a Lobo movie and fit in another Hellboy as well.

So after the GL movie tanks, because it is going to be a disaster, will DC/WB give up again for another decade or so?
