Greetings readers, a while back I made the first part of this editorial where I took a look at the big future for DC, from movies to TV to games and everything inbetween, now I take a look at the original rumors and now the confirmed movies to see what we are in for.
This is what the original editorial said when I posted it a month ago about the DC films based on rumors.
" -Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (Confirmed for 2016)
-Shazam Movie (Confirmed by Black Adam Casting & multiple Updates by Studio & The Rock)
-Wonder Woman Movie (Rumored based on Gal's 3 picture deal with WB)
-Batman Movie (Rumored based on Affleck's 3 picture deal with WB)
-Justice League Live Action Movie (To be Directed by Snyder rumored to be after BVS/Shooting back to back)
-Aquaman Movie (2 Writers Hired)
-Legion of Superheroes Movie (Rumored)
-Suicide Squad Movie (Rumored, Director said to be confirmed)
-Sandman Movie (In Development by Gaiman & Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "
We now know that we are in store for BVS, Solo Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Aquaman, Cyborg, Shazam, Suicide Squad and Green Lantern movies along with Justice League part's 1 and 2.
We also have been told by Gaiman & Del Toro that Justice League Dark & Sandman are NOT part of the DC slate because they are seprate universes.
Now let's take a look into the announced movies.
-BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE
With Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg and other's confirmed for this movie along with the baddie of Lex Luthor the second film in the DC phase one Cinematic universe looks to be in full speed as this is the most anticipated comic book movie ever.
-SUICIDE SQUAD
with rumors of Smith, Margot & Hardy all going around, I say I would enjoy the as Deadshot, Harley and Deathstroke in the movie. I do want Shark king, another female baddie and maybe an extra 2-3 members so one could die to prove Amanda's power. Speaking of Amanda I want her to be thin and pretty as I think "The Wall" nick name should NOT reflect her being fat, big and ugly but more on the imposing and her way only way of acting and thinking, I personally think Joker & Batman could make a cameo in the film to tie up lose canon ends and it would help the movie having Batfleck be in it as we would see him shine more and more in his role as we get ready for his solo movie.
-WONDER WOMAN
I have total faith in Gadot, her looks and the fact that she is bulking up clear as the new pictures show have sold me on her, also the fact that her movie is the lead in for JL should be indication that DC is going all out on her, as she may as well bring in the baddie or set him up in some way or another.
-JUSTICE LEAGUE PART 1
With Brainiac as the rumored baddie and the team being all but 1 Green lantern of complete, it will be nice to see the JL form and take him down, the JL dynamic has been tried out with other groups like The Avengers and it did ok for them, but the clash of Batman & his team mates always draws the comic world in as we have seem them clash multiple times in comics, movies and series. As for the rumored end of Hal getting their in time just to warn them about Darksied on paper alone it sends chills of fan boy up and down my body and of course this could later lead into a more Justice League Unlimited world in the movies.
-THE FLASH
With the rumored JL finish it's likely this is an origin story set before the events of the movie, so it could be save to say that we will see how Flash becomes Flash, with a young and talented actor like Ezra I have faith that we will have a long flash franchise covering whatever the show of The Flash does not due to budget or other details, personally I hope to see Vandal Savage and a few other baddies here, with The Flash TV show being a smash hit it's safe to say this Flash will have a fan base that will be solid.
-AQUAMAN
This is an origin I really want to see, I want to know how we got the Aquaman we get, if he has a hook? I want to see how he got it, I want to see him fight, I want to see him be a boss ass bad ass. This movie could be a silent movie for all I care, with the visuals alone that could be done of his hook, his hand cutting, his water manipulation, his fight's the the trench or Black Manta. It's really hard to NOT get hyped for the King of atlantis big screen debut.
-SHAZAM
The Rock is set to be Black Adam and there are rumors that this does not tie into JL but I hope it does, at least in the second part, it would be nice to see Bats, WW, Supes, Flash, Cyborg need the magical & cosmic elements of GL & Shazam to help out, not to mention it would unite the Origin of the new 52 comics with JL:War which both sides have fans, of course for this film we have yet to have a cast of Capt Marvel but maybe soon.
-JUSTICE LEAGUE PART 2
The complete League Vs Darkseid and his army of parademons is enough for me, so many epic moments from the comics could be done so great here. The Green Lantern/Batman moments and the other Lantern/Flash Lantern/ Supes and Supes/Bats moments are a must. Also the after math would be a great way to see how the rest of the DC Universe shapes up, maybe JLU style.
-CYBORG
The epic aftermath of the Darkseid battle falls onto the shoulders of Cyborg, this is a very interesting movie to say the least, many of us wonder, whats the story, will we see the Metal men, will Cyborg form the Teen Titans, will we see him really go solo or does he set up something bigger like the seeds for Justice League part 3? this are the questions that have me hyped for Cy's big screen solo debut.
-GREEN LANTERN
Green Lantern done right, I don't hate the 2011 movie but it could be better, so I have my faith on this movie. need a cast tho for more to care about it. Also I do like that they spaced out 9 years inbetween the GL and this GL so they can play off the past
-SOLO BATMAN & SUPERMAN FILMS
I really hope they mix, I hope we get a world's finest moment at some point, maybe at the end of each film, but I also want Clay face, Hush, Freeze, Riddler or Poison Ivy to debut or get redeption not to mention a redemption for Dick Grayson/Robin or Nightwing would be great too, also would love to see Supes fight Parasite and other of his baddies maybe doomsday?
SInce the VERTIGO films are a different slate of movies and universe I won't get into them today, but I also have hight hopes with those films along with their current show versions. I do hope that Either the TNT Titans series or the CBS Supergirl series tie into the Cinematic Universe but I doubt it.
Anyways I am more than happy with the current DC slate and also happy that those bogus Legion of Superheroes, Doom Patrol, Team up Flash & GL movies among other rumors died out.
And on that note, DCGUY OUT! CUE THE COMMENTS!
