Warner Bros. Moving Ahead With AQUAMAN, GREEN ARROW, SHAZAM And SUICIDE SQUAD?

According to the same site that broke the news Warner Bros. are finally moving ahead with Justice League, the studio are now also hard at work on giving each of the above characters (and the Flash) their own films. We also have an update on Ryan Reynolds' uncertain future as Green Lantern.

According to Variety, Warner Bros. are still developing movies featuring Aquaman, The Flash, Green Arrow, Lobo, The Suicide Squad, Shazam and Wonder Woman. Some of these we already knew about, others have been rumoured for years. However, this is the first update in quite some time and seemingly confirms that the studio is still working on them (we haven't heard anything on Suicide Squad since 2010). Apparently, they are also still undecided about whether or not to bring back Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern in a sequel to last year's critical and financial disappointment or to simply, "relaunch the character in a completely new way." Sources close to their development process also tell the site that The Avengers has played a key role in how Warner Bros. will handle their superhero movies moving forward, and that it is important for them to find the right creatives who understand the characters in the same way Joss Whedon so clearly did with Marvel's superhero ensemble. Also mentioned in the report is their decision to move ahead with the Batman franchise following Christopher Nolan's departure and the fact that they won't be making any firm moves when it comes to any of these films until the release of The Dark Knight Rises next month.

i wouldn't worry about green arrow,sucide squad & lobo so much,should concerntrate on bringing the likes of the flash,wonder woman,aquaman,superman,batman(reboot) & the green lantern(reboot) together in one universe that leads to a justice league movie.

shazam would be great,just to see the rock as black adam.

With a proper writer, director, and The Rock as Black Adam, Shazam could be damn good.

Although with the Arroe TV series will they use the same characters. Or if show is successful don't even make a Green Arrow movie just use the one from TV show that would be interesting using different media forms to build up the movie

Warner Bros./DC Entertainment is a mess. They have no idea what they're doing. Just making movies to make them. I say don't touch Batman for 10 years. A Justice League movie can work without him. Although the Superman-Batman dynamic would be lost. As a huge Batman fan, I just can't stand to see another Batman in film unless it's a Nolan Batman 4 before 2015. If not, leave Batman alone. Tired of the character... and I'M A HUGE FAN OF HIM!

They dont need to reboot Green Lantern. The mistakes in the first can be fixed with a sequel with new writers, director, and a Sinestro Corps War story. The cast did pretty good and I think that the sequel would show Hal's character develop into a more serious one and that way people wont automatically think hes a 100% comedy character.

Why would you reboot Batman? Duh. This series is great, if you gotta stop using Bale as Batman fine, why reboot it though? Someone else steps in as Batman after Bruce Wayne/Bale retires...Nolan's series would bring a sense of possibility to the Justice League like the Iron Man did to Avengers...

And on the Wonder Woman...hey, it'd be a great flick to watch as a dude, but it won't bring WB half a billion, and that's the end game...won't happen

watch i bet one of two things are going to happen. one] they are going to get joss whedon to direct the justice leugue movie, or they copy something from the avengers, like the battle sequence at the end, where its constantly switching between characters

I bet you the same people who were whining saying that them not copying Marvels formula was stupid are going to be the same people teasing DC for doing so.

mmhm. First they said they are gonna do it unlike the marvel. And now news says that The Avengers have shown them how to handle their heroes and movies...

Nice to see DC getting into the movie fray. Justice League FTW!!
golden123
golden123 - 6/7/2012, 7:10 PM
They should add Wonder Woman and Hawkman to that list, and then, I think they will be set. Above all else, these movies need to be quality. That is the deal breaker. I'd rather really good films over a connected universe.

Honestly they need to focus on an Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern sequel, Man of Steel 2 movies before launching their Justice League movie. Batman is so damn popular you can just reintroduce him in a JL film.

This...this is good. Let's just hope that they're able to do Wonder Woman, the Flash, and Aquaman justice, as well as fix Green Lantern. And, of course, Justice League excites me like you wouldn't believe.
And then you have Man of Steel next year, which is looking really good.
I think DC is finally going to get their shit together.
