>WB and DC started the DCEU... while Batman was in a separate film series that didn't plan to have that version of Batman join it>WB and DC starts the DCU... while Batman is again in a separate film series with no plans to have that version of Batman join itHOW DO YOU MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE?!?
WB is forever in denial of the fact that outside of Batman, most people don't really care about DC.
>>156158315Ironically the current Batman movies were at first intended to be part of the DCEU
>>156158315Warner secretly want Batman sold to Marvel
>DO LIKE DISNEY DOES UNTIL PROFITS APPEAR
>>156158315>Third movie is mostly about Batman villains before a Batman movie
Green light a bunch of feminism and DEI but then cower away from it only when you bump into the OG fans.
>>156158315>Affleck was supposed to direct and star in a Batman movie>Things were so bad on Whedon Justice League and the pre-production for the Batman movie plus Affleck was having his own personal problems that Affleck would eventually decide to quit>someone at WB decides that they need to get Matt Reeves to do the Batman movie and sign some kind of favorable deal for him, this was around 2017>Matt Reeves decides that he should just do a Batman movie in its own world and WB agrees>Reeves takes a while to do the film, and COVID also causes delays>Someone else decides that Keaton Batman should be the Batman of the DCEU, and the Flash movie will make that change>Matt Reeves' The Batman is released in early 2022, the box office is not massive like but it is not a failure, which means more in a post-COVID world than it did in the drunken spending era of 2010s WB>Zaslav takes over>DCEU gets axed with the final films sent out to die>Matt Reeves wants to continue The Batman as its own thing and is allowed to because it wasn't a disaster like Whedon JL, Birds of Prey, WW 1984, Shazam 2, and so on>Zaslav puts Gunn and Safran in charge of the rest of DC films, Gunn announces that the DCU Batman movie is Brave and the Bold and would have Damian, likely because it wouldn't interfere with Matt Reeves' Batman>Penguin TV show airs in 2024, does decently>Clayface, a project that was considered initially as part of Matt Reeves' Batman universe, gets developed and folded into Gunn DCU instead but with Reeves as exec producer>Nobody can do anything with Batman in DCU until The Batman Part 2 is released, and there were rumors going around a few years back that Reeves or a family member has some kind of serious health issue
>>156158315Allowing Matt Reeves to hold Batman hostage was a bad idea
>>156159336Honestly the idea of a DC cinematic universe in current year is a bad idea, and they should just focus on self-contained trilogies/duologies again
>>156158315At least marvel has the excuse of licensing that stalled x-men + fantastic 4, DC is splitting continuities like crazy for no reason
>>156158403Except they aren't doing like Disney. Disney wouldn't make a standalone Captain Boomerang movie before Spider-Man or Daredevil
>>156158315No one wants spirit halloween twilight boy to be the defacto cinematic Batman.
>>156161353Robert has redeemed himself post Twilight
boop
I’m happy Batman hasn’t shown up yet. Even though the current DC Cinematic Universe has been hit or miss for me, I’m glad it’s less Batman-centric.

>>156159401I'M SAYIN "Shared Universe" BS has really done a number on capefilms. Just cuz Marvel found success with it a decade ago doesn't mean it should still be THE blueprint for everyone moving forward.

>>156158315that's not what happenedthey knew Nolan wasn't going to cross over with Superman as early as 2006, when WB took the decision to shitcan the upcoming Batman/Superman movie after Superman Returns flopped; Batman Begins hadn't made a lot of money either but people didn't outright hate itThe Dark Knight unexpectedly made a lot of money and won awards (mostly because the jonkler jonkkled himself over how bad the movie actually was), at which point Nolan could go back to WB and say he wasn't going to participate in crossoverswhile he went off making his IMAX sales pitch to other cinematographers after investing all the money he made from TDK in IMAX stock, WB was locked in a legal battle for 50% of the rights to Supermanthey made Man of Steel with the worst possible big-name director of comic book movies they could find - even Ed Norton has more credibility than Snyder - so that they could say they tried instead of getting hit with a lost-earnings suit once the rights issue was settled against them; but then just before MoS came out the rights issue went WB's way and, weirdly, MoS made money, so they were stuck with nothing on the slate except Untitled Batman Reboot (2015) which became BvS and took MoS2's release date in 2016 eventuallyThe Batman happened because public drunkenness charge Ben Affleck was supposed to write a Batman movie and just plum forgot about it for some reason, then got fired, partly because he was lazy and drunk and the films he had made stunk, and partly because he fessed up to sticking his fingers up a reporter lady's ass several times in different interviews "which was a thing they had", because he's a raging crack pipe fire in a derelict suburban locale
>>156167198There's nothing quite like being roasted by a Bostonian.
>>156167198There's also that Justice League movie that George Miller was supposed to direct (to be released in 2009) that got as far as production design and casting but never got any further
>>156167198Even if Nolan was up for a crossover, chances are he'd pull a King Kong vs Godzilla, and have the film's version of Superman be entirely self-contained to his own universe instead of directly adapting the comic version
>>156158331Batman is overrated. They should do something with Plastic Man or Booster Gold.
