To be fair, it is kind of a rational move on Ike's part. He's been with the company forever and has made it a lot of money, so they can't outright get rid of him. But Feige forced him out of the movies and if he lets the TV stuff mix in with the movies, he loses control of those characters and the company has less of a reason to keep him around if someone else can make his characters work.

Not letting the TV shows crossover is the least of Ike's sins. He is also best friends with Avi Arad and Donald Trump.

Ike likely doesn't like the movies crossing over (outside of The Avengers) much either.

Yes, and he complained about guests getting free food.

The guy thought he was on the inside track to taking over Disney, but Fiege has pretty much shut that down thanks to his power play. Now Ike is just a grumpy old man who is trying to make it so no other kids can play with his toys. Cutting off his nose to spite his face.
What is his background anyway before he got involved with Marvel?

Ike has been trying to get a seat on the Disney board for what, 20 years now? And by all reports everyone in the higher ups at Disney loving hates him with a passion.

Umberto Gonzales recently dropped some very interesting rumours about the future of the DC Cinematic Universe

quote:

>WB is considering releasing the R-rated 3 hour cut of BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE in theaters.

>Batman is a much more prominent character in SUICIDE SQUAD than it appears. Test-screenings have recently happened.

>SUICIDE SQUAD will launch a new trailer that'll be screened with copies of CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR. It might have an early released this Sunday after the MTV awards, and it's cut to "Ballroom Blitz".

>The secret WB/DC movie that is being released on November 1, 2019 is the standalone BATMAN movie starring Ben Affleck.

Keep in mind the guy has an excellent track record about DC.

He owned Toy Biz. He made a sweetheart deal for toys with Marvel in 1993, which in turn let TB (which was mostly Perlmutter and Avi Arad) slip in and buy Marvel out from under Carl Icahn and Ronald Perelman, who were both trying to buy the bankrupt publisher, in 1996. In 1998 the two companies were merged into Marvel Enterprises.

I hope you're right. Ballroom Blitz is the perfect song to cut a trailer to after that Bohemian Rhapsody one, and I'll totally go see BvS in theaters a couple more times if they release the R-rated one and it's as much better as I would hope/think/want. That said, I feel like I don't buy Batman being in SS that much, unless "more prominent" means that his specter looms large over the movie. We know he's in the movie in some aspect related to the Joker, it would totally make sense if a bunch of the other guys have had run-ins with The Bat.

I'm surprised they're not trying to get Batfleck out sooner. Like, when they announced two mystery movies, I totally expected the earlier one to be Batman, especially considering they've already got some casting done, and Affleck is already working on a treatment, and is presumed to direct.

He's also saying that the unannounced event film WB is working on is The Tomb Raider, which I completely buy, especially if they've got Daisy Ridley onboard.

I just don't see how they could get it done sooner. JL is 2017 and then he has a project he wants to do and WB is financing for 2018.

No, I just meant a Suicide Squad trailer cut to Ballroom Blitz, but the Rock Band cover idea is pretty inspired too. Ballroom Blitz is one of those songs that should be in every action movie. Like Don't Stop Me Now, or Bohemian Rhapsody, or anything by The Beastie Boys.

My friend who is a huge comic nerd does Ballroom Blitz as his karaoke song, he was pretty stoked by this news as well.

That's why part of me didn't really want her for the role. She doesn't really seem like a good fit anyways, and there's a high probability the movie will be terrible. The director onboard doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the project. Give the lead role to like, Kaya Scodelario instead. Worst case is Daisy misses out on a successful franchise if somehow the movie doesn't suck, but I mean, she already got her big break with Star Wars so she can be all "whatevs" and continue to make a bajillion dollars as Rey.

I'm not saying she's not capable for the role. I'm just saying she doesn't really seem like a good fit to me. I say this as a fan of Daisy and a fan of the rebooted Tomb Raider games.

I'm saying she is a wooden, untalented actress who was cast because of her vague resemblance to two prior SW actresses.

Perfect for Lara Croft.
