Can you imagine the horrible world that awaits in 2034 when there will be a bunch of different Superman and Batman movies with no connection to each other and people start to associate bad movies and reboots with WB/Discovery?

Also, I had never heard this about the original Snyder DCEU pitch and it is pretty bonkers:

quote:

About a decade ago, Zack Snyder developed a storyline for the DC Extended Universe that involved Bruce Wayne impregnating Lois Lane.

The subplot in which Batman cuckolds Superman was poised to unfold in “Justice League,” with Batman dying in the sequel and Lois raising their spawn with Superman. Snyder’s vision for Wonder Woman was equally unorthodox, with visuals featuring a superheroine who brandished the decapitated heads of her conquered enemies like an ISIS jihadi.

Warner Bros. and DC Studios — which hold a firm grip on their intellectual property — rejected Snyder’s ideas, which were deemed “super creepy,” according to a source familiar with the back and forth. (DC declined to comment for this story. A representative for Snyder did not respond to a request for comment.) But in the next decade, artists and rival studios won’t need permission to create their own take on the characters.

If it's the same as Mickey Mouse, i.e. Steamboat Willie, what will become public domain in those years isn't really what people now know as those characters, right?

Get ready for Batman to go up against his most dangerous villain yet! A well-to-do, upstate logging company owner! Who will help Batman solve this conundrum of a case? Why, here comes his portly, bumbling butler Alfred now!

Yes. They can use original villains or villains introduced in his original run, though.

Public domain Superman won't be able to fly for a few years.

I don't know specifically what parts of Batman were introduced later and technically still under copyright.

I think Human Torch is technically the first Marvel character. Namor was probably the same year.

Yea its probably both. Along the Ka-zar. But who cares about Ka-zar? Though I did say recognizable hero and I think Namor is better known than the others. Most people think Johnny Storm when talking about Human Torch, not a synthazoid that catches on fire when exposed to oxygen even if he did burn Hitler alive.

I'd never even heard of Ka-Zar and googling that reminded me that the first ever Marvel comics movie was technically Conan the Barbarian.

Should be KAY-zar. I believe that's how they pronounced it in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1.

Ka-zar, Human Torch, and Namor all appeared in Marvel Comics #1, which was published in August 1939 (about 3 months after Detective Comics 27 for reference). The Angel (not Warren) and Masked Raider were in there too, for those who care.

Yea, that's why I figured they'd be the first. I learned that from Venture Bros!

Also like Steamboat Willy, they don't get ALL material and verisons of the characters that exist. So a all of Namor's mutantness and being from Atlantis aren't there.

I always joked if Ka-zar appeared in a Marvel thing, it was because they were out of actual heroes to put in things. He's just Tarzan with a cat friend, not a monkey. He's a really useful card in Marvel Snap though.

Then it's Cap & Bucky in '41 and Patsy Walker in '44. Is there anyone in the long stretch until Willie Lumpkin in '59 and the Fantastic Four in '61?

All that poo poo is so messy I can't imagine you're going to get much. Like so far the only thing people have done with properties like Winnie the Pooh and Steamboat Willie are cheap lovely horror movies.

By then it wouldn't surprise me if Disney straight up owned the DC characters anyway. But I can't imagine they would start using Superman or Batman at their first appearance because they would be completely devoid of the other things that developed them into good characters.

Because the movie is about stopping a bad guy who wants to kill Peter Parker's parents so he's never born.
