I'm not optimistic :(
I think that's what everyone here would be worried about.

 

Wouldn't WB/DC be worried about falling behind on Marvel with their movies making $$$$ (shrug)

 

 

It's a lot bigger then that, WB just had their 2 biggest cash cows, Harry Potter and now the Nolan Batman movies wrapped up in consecutive years. They have the Hobbit but that's about it in the future in terms of guaranteed blockbuster movies. Gonna have to go back to the think tank quick and come up with some quality ideas which hopefully means better comic movies in the future with their DC properties.

Good,bad,don't care?

 

I think WB may be getting ready to do something what Marvel is doing with their movies.

 

 

Usually it takes a little time and planning to put out a quality production.

 

Hopefully they get their act together.

i too am a "DC guy"

 

i hope they make money though, just so they keep bringing them out and stop rebooting them all the time, why can't they do a James Bond and change the actor without rebooting the whole franchise? they seem to want to re-tell the whole origin after every bad film instead of moving on and saving themselves needless character development

Superman Returns

Green Lantern

Jonah Hex

Catwoman

 

Makes me happy that DC will take their time with their next movie franchise, and hopefully give us fans a quality film to be proud of. 2015 is also the year of the Avengers rumored sequel so hopefully whatever they have planned doesn't get eclipsed by that.

DC really doesn`t have many characters that would translate well into live action films. If you think about it they have been carried all these years by the Superman and Batman universes,while they had success with Green Lantern comics they blundered the live-action movie. Other than Swamp Thing and a few Vertigo characters what DC characters would be successful at the box office? Do people really think Aquaman or Hawkman would do 100 million at the box office? It doesn`t seem likely. They are better off concentrating on more Superman and Batman movies. 2c

I'm guess nothing short of coming up with some interesting characters can/will save DC comic movies.

 

Yeah, I agree - but even then, would it convert people from the movie to their other media offerings (comics, trades, etc) with the same character?

 

Even the Batman films - which are great - didn't get me buying Batman-related products and comics. I'm just too entrenched into the Marvel Universe. Even as a kid, I preferred Moon Knight over Batman. I don't think one new, interesting character is going to get me to mentally invest in the DC Universe. I think that's DCs underlying fatal flaw - it's very difficult to get people to cross over.

What happened with the Lobo movie?

Back in 2008 they announced it and it never came about. I found this quote by Viggo Mortenson who had signed on to play the lead role:

"I know a lot of people won’t believe this, but I actually became quite the comic fan while shooting the Lord of the Rings movies. I read everything from Lobo to Grendel, The Watchmen, Transmetropolitan… there wasn’t much else to do between takes! And a lot of these guys were really into that… I actually would’ve liked to do the Watchmen movie, too, I’m a big Alan Moore fan, but the timing just didn’t work out. When the offer to do Lobo came around, I could not in good conscience pass it up. Lobo is a real challenge, there’s a depth there, behind all the… carnage. It’s actually not at all dissimilar to my character in Eastern Promises in that regard.”

I am still waiting for Tyrese to play Luke Cage Powerman.
