Holy sh*t. All this talk made me want to take a peek at Abrams' script again and after skimming a bit I randomly landed at this page. Talk about being unintentionally timely...
Good reminder. In this thread or another there was an inside article on his ascension to the Feige role and it talked about how he was taking everything in a new direction and owned the DCEU going forward. Basically kind of writing off the movies up to that point. That doesn't seem to have happened but I also don't quite recall the timing of his takeover. In other words, don't recall after which movie he took full control.FTACO97 said:They did appoint Geoff Johns in sort of their "Feige" role but I have yet to see any substantial leadership from him, and there have continued to be really weird movies announced since he took on the role. He's an awesome story teller and leader in the comics, but not sure he has the abilities that Feige has.bthomas98 said:
Agree with finding their Feige. I though they had a guy from the comics (Johns maybe?) that was supposed to be their godfather for the DCEU going forward.
Whoever is running things for the DC animated universe is doing a pretty good job
IMO, the failure of Man of Steel, BvS and Justice League was WB/DC's insistence on using Snyder and then continuing with him as each film failed more than the last. Then handing over JL to Whedon in the 11th hour and interfering and sticking with an unrealistic release date gave us a disjointed film that showed potential at points.
To me, the only DC character that fits in the dark Snyder worldview is Batman. The rest, particularly Superman, should have a more colorful and vibrant world.
This narrative really interests me. Man of Steel did well.Quote:
It wasn't until next year, when Man of Steel did less than stellar numbers in June 2013, that WB finally panicked.
He would probably be a lot more effective at spying on other candidates and coming up with ideas to hurt their chances than Obama and Hillary were.Sex Panther said:

The Hollywood Reporter's Borys Kit reports the Flash solo film will not be titled Flashpoint, after allbut the film will allegedly still be loosely adapting the Flashpoint storyline.

Aren't there coaches and directors in Hollywood capable of crafting an actor for a role? I know not everyone can act, but if they auditioned 100 nobodies and worked with the best handful for a year, couldn't the right team CREATE a great Batman?
But then it would have to be somebody big. Otherwise, it's tease with no payoff.AliasMan02 said:
All true. What might tip the balance is, however, if they kept who was playing Bats a total secret. Could be fun.
