DC Cinematic Universe

Similar to what has been done for Marvel, it'd be good to have one for DC.

Suicide Squad directed by David Ayer (2016)
Wonder Woman starring Gal Gadot (2017)

TV Shows (Although Not Connected)

Arrow
The Flash.

What's everyone looking forward to most from DC then? The stuff I keep hearing about BvS is really getting my hyped for that film, and Eisenberg is looking awesome as Luthor. Loving the TV shows as well, Stephen Amell has really connected with the fans well doing loads of giveaways on his Facebook page. He recently sent a little girl a video for her birthday as well, top guy.

Looking forward to Batman vs Superman even if I can't get past how Batman takes on a man with superhero strength.

If it goes like the Dark Knight returns then should be top class.

Have you seen the latest from Synder Derby? They're going with that story line but twisting it a little, apparently Superman will go to Gotham to fight Batman and not the other way around.

So they are doing a version of the Dark Knight Returns story

Yup, according recent reports anyway.

It'll be interesting to see how the incorporate WW, Aquaman and Cyborg into the film and I heard rumours that the Suicide Squad will be mentioned or have a small role in it as well

I think Amanda Waller will be in BvS, another report has been saying she likes to collect things and will steal Aquamans trident.

Yeah I read that yesterday, I say she will either acquire it at the end of BvS or in the SS movie itself it could bring Black Manta into the DCU and tee him up to be the main or one of the bad guys in the Aquaman movie

Doesn't he wear some kind of Kryptonite powered suit? Think I saw something like that in one of the animated films

Don't forget in the comics Batman has plans on how to deal with all of the Justice League should they go bad.

I didn't realise they were basing it on that (how did I miss that, seem to be missing a lot lately )

Cannot wait for this now, you know they'll have to tweak it but if it goes alongst the same lines it could be brilliant.

Wasn't his suit just a power suit (ala Ironman) but Green Arrow shot Supes with a none lethal syntactic Kyptonite arrow?

Looking forward to this the most.

Re Stephen Amell, does seem like a good bloke.
Interacts with the fans well.

From memory dicey it was in Tower of Babel. Batman had contingency plans for every member of the justice league which Ra'as steals.

I was just going by Dark knight returns but you are right I saw that in the DOOM animation film with Batmans contingency plan for himself is that the JL will take him down

Apparently the impact of this weeks episode of Arrow will change the show completely, I'll be interested to see what happens.

Spoiler:

I have tried to get into Arrow a few time but I just couldn't I can see the appeal of it but I struggled, Flash has been good though and Constantine (I hope it gets a 2nd season)

I'm the reverse Dicey.

Really enjoy Arrow.

Really wanted to be a fan of The Flash, just can't get into it.
Watched a small bit last night.

Bit whe the Schofield brothers(from Prison Break) escaped.

I started to what Arrow then I got fed up, then caught up to season 3 but just couldn't take anymore lol

The Flash is good, nice cast and it's interesting maybe because there are more meta-humans in it and not just z list Batman villains, Constantine was a surprise, I loved it the character himself is such a d!ck you cant help but to like him

I'd love Constantine to get a second season, the producer has a meeting later this month to try and secure one.

That's great news, the show has a lot to offer and hopefully when the make Justice League Dark they will stick with Matt Ryan

I think for it to really be a success, and maybe go as dark as it could, it needs to move Networks. Not sure why it was given the Friday night death slot either, strange for a new show to be shoved there.

I heard it's going to ScyFy which couldn't do it any harm as it would have bigger control

Looks like the decision on Constantine will be made next month Dicey.

Flash is back on tonight, and it's a crossover episode with The Atom and Felicity visiting Central City. Plus Black Canary finally gets her scream.

Aparently it has beenpretty much confirmed that Constantine is cancelled

Constantine is dead barring a late swoop from another network like a Syfy or Netflix, the chances of that are extremely slim to none. Its been pretty much dead in the water since its second episode, ratings were extremely poor even on a night that rates as poor for NBC historically.

As for the decision being made at that end of the month well that's just par for the course since all network tv cancellation/renewal decisions need to be made prior to May 14th.

Personally I wouldn't mind seeing a 2nd season but I hold out no hope of it happening

I really hope it gets picked up by someone if that is the case with NBC

It has the potential to be a great show and has set it up well for a second season, sure Arrows first season was terrible

It would shock me if NBC renewed it as even they must think they have a higher ratings winner than Constantine for next year but hey weird things have happened (Beauty & the Beast or Unforgettable).

Arrows first season ratings are pretty much on par with their second and third season, granted in 18-49 ratings Constantine is on par with all three seasons of Arrow. The problem lies is they are on different networks and the CW which does Arrow (Flash) has a much lower threshold on what's a success or not.

I wouldn't mind Netflix picking up Constantine. Looking at what they've done with Daredevil, it wouldn't have to be as watered down as NBC wanted it too be.

If I was Netflix I'd be looking to wait with the Constantine and just start it fresh in a few years if they were interested. Plus Netflix seem firmly in bed with Marvel for the next while and already have 5 (including Daredevil) shows in the works.

The Flash is really starting to heat up, and next weeks episode looks to be superb. Honestly wasn't keen on Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer initially, but he's really grown on me. Both he and Felicity bounce off each other really well.

Brandon Routh is much maligned for his Superman stint for some reason. Wasn't even that awful a film, just a mediocre one. Always found him to be good in most things I've seen him in.

I enjoyed him in Chuck, found him stealing most scenes he was in on that show which is difficult when you're in a scene with Yvonne Stravohoski

Yeah, he's good in Arrow.
They make a good couple on the show.

Although can't take Roy or Laurel as black canary seriously.

I struggle to take Laurel as Laurel seriously since about S01E03, let alone as Black Canary. Roy I can just about accept these days

My first comment on this site. I'm actually looking forward to Suicide Squad the most. It will either be brilliant or terrible and I think it will give us something we might not have seen before on the big screen.

Does the first Batman vs Superman trailer, come out on Monday?

Arrow is ending this season very well, and last nights episode was very good. A sad goodbye, but one that was for the best and an ending that I've wanted to see since season one!

Good to see you here Superb,

Apparently the director on Wonder Woman has been replaced due to a clash of vision.

I'm not disappointed with that, she wanted her to have a tiger sidekick.

Cheers Derby. Will be interesting to see how they approach the Wonder Woman movie. I was hoping Gadot was going to really bulk and tone up for the role but in recent photos I saw of her supposedly training for the role she looked as skinny as ever. Nothing against skinny women of course.

Also a bit concerned with Will Smith as Deadshot. I see him as a potential weak link even if he is a big name. Would have preferred to see more of an unknown cast in that role.

Read this post earlier, without watching Arrow, just seen it.

Didn't see the person that did die dying.

You were not a fan then?

The person that did die isn't actually dead, previews of next weeks episode show the Lazarus pit being used on said person, was just glad to see said person finally get smacked.

What did you think of the goodbye?

ha, read the sad goodbye bit as the person dying.

Bit slow today.

Was'nt a huge fan, so not to botherd about him going.
Good twist in the jail.
On another note.
Actually think Ray is getting better as a character.

The Batman vs Superman trailer has leaked, apparently it was shown in a cinema somewhere in South America and someone recorded it.

It looks very dark, very gritty, and as if the world turns against Superman. I also like the line from Batman "Tell me do you bleed? You will" plus Batman finally has the white eyes!

Hi all, anyone checked out the new cast photos of the suicide squad? They've gone for a slightly more punk Joker look... And Margot Robbie looks just well........ You know!

I'd be surprised if that's the final Harley Quinn outfit Shocks, no doubt it'll change towards the end of the film. Thought Robbie looks quite hot, and the joker looked completely physcotic though.

So what does everyone think of The Joker then? Recent set photos show that they have in fact kept the tattoos.

big rumours Doomsday will be in BvS as the muscle for Lex Luthor and Lex may also get to wear the green and purple armour suit he has in the comics/games.

I think they may be putting too many things in to one film.  Doomsday could have had is own film as the main bad guy to the justice league.
