What social media do you look at to seek out all of these morons?

I looked at the replies to a tweet announcing the Batgirl stuff, was surprised by there being a number of people arguing vociferously in Zaslav's defense, and clicked on their profiles out of curiosity.

I just have no idea why anyone would defend Zaslav.

I don't think this was mentioned here before - Spider-man No Way Home being re-released in theaters in about two weeks

https://www.marvel.com/articles/movies/spider-man-no-way-home-returns-to-theaters-tickets-on-sale-now

This just reeks of desperation. There's a vague line about "More fun stuff for fans to enjoy", but I get the feeling it's going to be like that unfinished Smart Hulk bit they added to theater showings after it cracked $1B. A dvd extra or deleted scene or two stitched into the movie.

It says it is 11 minutes of extra footage.

I guess Sony doesn't have much else going on in terms of theatrical releases? It will probably make some extra money and costs basically nothing. I'm not going to the theater for a 5% longer version, though.

Interesting because I thought Aquaman 2 was doing re-shoots with Affleck's Batman because it was re-ordered to come out before The Flash which would have made Earth-1's Batman into Keaton's.

Didn’t they open 2022 by putting together a sizzle reel of all the cool stuff that was gonna dominate 2022?

2023 is definitely gonna be the DCEUs year.

They sure did, and then within a month they started pushing everything back

IIRC it was Black Adam, The Flash, and Aquaman 2 (also the Super Pets movie but who gives a poo poo)

That *was* the plan, but at this point I’m inclined to believe the rumors that Flash is now internally undated at WB because WB genuinely doesn’t know what to do with it, but also wants to put off the headlines that would come with any delay. When/if it’s officially delayed, I wouldn’t be shocked if Aquaman 2 moves back up

Also, let’s be real here, making a septuagenarian actor the main DCEU Batman going forward never really made much sense and I’m surprised it came as close to happening as it did.

I assumed it’s intention was to set up Batgirl or like Dick Grayson as new primaries. But that seemed weird to. Why would you reboot Batman just to write him out?

The DCEU is weird and I don’t understand it.

Honestly this makes 'sense' from a corporate perspective. They had a different universe Batman series going on but wanted to keep the "DCEU" going so by having Old Batman you can move in other characters to fill the role in the 'main' universe and still have your cake with the Young Batman universe.

Of course they poo poo all over that so who knows.

Pushing back these movies is not a good sign. It's telling me they're still trying to figure out what the plan is even after these have been filmed.

There's no way they make as much as Discovery wants them to. And Marvel will still be putting out regular content and are already building to their next mega blockbuster films.

It is because they don't actually have any plan on what they want to do besides Make Money Like Marvel.

Like gently caress, just make stand alone films. Those seem to work fine. The Shared Universe is a giant albatross around their neck that means that even if they have successes they get overshadowed by But The Shared Universe, but they fumbled their Shared Universe about as hard as it is possible to.

I genuinely don't think any amount of Flashpoint is going to save the current DCEU because it's just a giant convoluted mess and trying to justify an in-story retcon isn't going to change that. They have all the problems of a shared universe but pretty much none of the benefits.
