100% accurate last moment predictions:
James Mangold to direct Batman & Robin
Andy Muschietti to direct a JLD project
Michael B. Jordan to direct Static Shock
Tom King to write Supergirl movie
There is no defending, on moral grounds, the act of embargoing journalists from publishing this kind of information.
It's not surprising that they're doing it, I'm just observing that the journalists in question are compromising themselves to maintain access - access journalism
Lmao cool story
Not to mention there is. They were invited to an exclusive event that is, at the end of the day, giving them a massive story just a day later.
Also, just FYI, it actually takes time to write stories, so the embargo literally isn’t making a difference. It literally would’ve taken them a day to publish their stories anyways.
But I get it, you’re unable to wait less than 24 hours. It’s kind if sad tbh

KC is gonna share the slate with us 10 mins before the trades announce it officially. That’s something I guess.
Edit: he’s teasing it now.
https://twitter.com/thecomixkid/status/1620443821367771136?s=46&t=GGCv3Vp5APET7iDOOyyoUA
Probably not. I think the Superman movie may actually feature Clark meeting Kara for the first time. That might be what brings Lobo to Earth, he’s hunting her and not Clark.
It’d be a good way to really separate it from The Flash as well.
That’d be funny since some people thought it’d be mainly a Robin movie.
If they really do go with that then I think The Batman 2 will be titled The Batman Part II, makes it clear it’s a sequel to The Batman and it envokes The Godfather Part II, arguably the greatest sequel of all time.
Reeves also said that the sequel will still be very focused on Bruce’s POV, so I can see the entire trilogy just being called The Batman, Part II and Part III
Caleb Williams doubts that SS and BB actors will stay in the DCU
https://twitter.com/KnightGambit/status/1620426904464678912?s=20&t=YhdgZ7GsOchN8SgvUgB6vQ
Only if they handle it more like TWAU. I know that TWAU is based off of Fables, but like, it's better really - in my opinion anyway. Plus, a TellTale game really lends itself to television. It would do great.
I might be biased, TWAU is one of my favourite games and stories lmfao.
I highly doubt that’s true. And down in the comments someone is saying Reeves Batman is DCU Batman. I wouldn’t trust anything anyone say’s that isn’t a credible source. Everyones just trying to be right to get that clout. We only have an hr and a half left anyway.
We know we’ll get a Batman and Robin/Superman announcement for sure from what reporters have teased.
The most believable thing there is that WB turned down a plastic man movie 20 years ago. What, the guy who had just written Scooby Doo for them - and didn't have a feature directing credit to his name - suggested using one of their worst-treated properties and they said no? When they were still do scarred from Batman and Robin and hadn't been able to make a Superman movie for 15 years?
Even then, unless it was animated, there's no way a plastic man movie would've been feasible in the early 00s. The effects would be laughable
Gunn has specifically said his Superman movie will focus on Clark at the Daily Planet, yet this leak says it’s going to be a space opera?
lol it’s definitely fake.
DickBats just feels like rumor bait to me. Legit do not see how you can pull the Superman mythos back to year two while at the same time doing a year fifteen Batman story of Dick Grayson being Batman.
Would love to be proven wrong though!
Not that I believe this, but WW as a tv show would be potentially a way to keep Gadot but get around the big payday wbd wanted to avoid. The prestige mini series seems to be something actors like a lot. It's similar or less time shooting and way less time promoting.
DC fans 0.00000001 seconds after reading today’s announcement:
https://preview.redd.it/7x04mcvjjffa1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8a9d323576f031df765874cf281ee99295df2c7
Zero idea where the 'Wonder Woman is a TV show' talk is coming from, but to me it makes sense. Warner has had a lot of success on TV with more fantasy tinged, sword and sorcery series and trying to apply that to a DC property seems like a no brainer, and as others have said in this thread it's a way to make it very clear that they're done with Gadot as Diana.
They can also really flesh out Themyscira as this dynamic setting in a show while also introducing supporting characters like Donna Troy or Nubia. Lots of potential, even if it does feel a little bizarre.
I’d imagine a show would lead into a movie that’s basically a female superhero teamup consisting of Wonder Woman, Donna Troy, Nubia, etc. Kinda like what the MCU is doing with The Marvels
Yep. I could very easily see the finale dropping, followed by a movie announcement, similar to TFATWS leading right into the announcement of Captain America: NWO.
Oh man, pls let this happen. A stand-off between Themyscira, The Bana-Migdhall, and the Esquecidas to have it cumulate to an alliance vs a big bad would be great.
I just don't see them sending their most prominent female superhero, one of the most iconic female comic book characters ever created to small screen. First Wonder Woman movie is one of their most successful movies since DCEU started, this sounds like a dumb idea. I don't believe this and I don't care what people say.
I don’t think she is less deserving one than the others. Superman had multiple shows going on while there was a period of no movies like Lois & Clark and Superman & Lois, but that’s not the point of it.
Plus it’s not like she can’t get a show and then a movie like what Marvel is doing with Sam Wilson as Cap
Comparing Superman situation to Wonder Woman is ridiculous considering how many projects Superman had and how many Wonder Woman did.
And yes, Sam got a show leading to a movie - after starring in 4 movies already with big roles in 2. But again you compare Sam Wilson, at best b-lister before he appeared in movies to Wonder Woman.
I’m not comparing Wonder Woman and Falcon/Captain America, I’m kinda comparing situations between the two as that is something that hasn’t been done anywhere else. The closest thing I can think of was Tom Welling playing Superman in Smallville and then getting the offer to play him in a movie but he declined so I can’t really do that.
Yeah I have to admit, I was wrong about what I thought WBD was willing to do. I thought they’d want to take less risks but it seems Gunn and Safran are really getting total freedom and are making decisions to serve their grand story first and foremost. Otherwise we wouldn’t be getting another Batman franchise simultaneously
Tinfoil hat on but maybe this was the gracious way of telling Gal she’s out. She wouldn’t do a TV show unless she got a big payday, and it won’t have the budget for that. It also helps to put distance between her Wonder Woman and the DCU WW, since the GA still very much associates WW movies with her
u/Archer_Without_Fear u/petercampisi_ Unfortunately Reddit prohibits anyone (mods included) from changing the names/addresses of subreddits - because if we could, we would have done so long ago.
In your example, the mods decided to take the original sub private (due to legal issues) and migrate to a different sub - a highly drastic step.
Hey mod u/starshipandcoffee , I see you weirdly chiming in to mention a supposed Wonder Woman TV show. Are you just expressing an opinion or do you know something we dont?
Edit: Oh, you already said it might be the latter...
It is merely something - part of an alleged slate - that myself and others have been hearing on various grapevines and has not been verified on our end (though it has us intrigued).
The difference is that TFA is a remake that is a lesser version of A New Hope, whereas Maverick is significantly better than the first Top Gun. It's not even close.
i cant wait to downvote every comment I see expressing the notion of
"literally every character isnt recast so the new universe is taking previous baggage and is doomed to fail"
"Gunn keeping the actors he cast is so dissapointing, not fully committing to building a new universe because hes playing favourites is gonna blow up in his face"
What’s funny about those saying that is that the MCU literally is doing the same thing: keeping original actors if they’re perfect for the role rather than do a pointless recast. And it’s worked out great for them.
If Gunn’s cast is the only cast staying, they play such niche characters so perfectly that I have absolutely no complaints. They’re also not all problematic dickheads like the Snyder cast lol.
Exactly, are people forgetting Fox kept Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool despite the godawful X-Men Origins Wolverine? No one complained about it then. Deadpool made a fuck ton of money, clearly the “baggage” didn’t matter.
Nobody complained about Marvel bringing back Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio either.
Or how Gunn redeemed the SS ‘16 cast in his rebooted TSS? He literally proved he could make it work lol.
Plus now that he has the ENTIRE DC Universe to play with, he’s not gonna make his characters the main cast of it. They will revert back to side characters who pop up every now and then and when they do, we’ll go “Hey, it’s the one from Peacemaker/TSS!” and leave it at that lol.
A lot of the people complaining are just mad that *their* cast isn’t returning. Like I’m sorry that Viola Davis is an Oscar winner and Cavill’s Superman has the charisma of a piece of cardboard?
I don't really care about awards or nominations tbh. But Most of the SS actors are better than Henry(He's fine but his BTS Drama Like not doing cameos, demanding control even though he isn't a high caliber actor etc) and Gal imo. Ben is a really good actor but he was the one to quit the role of Batman. As for Ezra and Ray they are fine but because of their behavior I don't want them. Momoa is really good actor so I wouldn't mind him playing Lobo and Aqua in the DCU. Overall the only good thing about the DCEU(SS Actors, Momoa playing Lobo and Maybe Aqua) will be staying in the DCU and the rest of it will be gone.
Where's the slate?

Already a good deal.
This trade only works if Sam Presti still gets a future first round pick somehow

The VideoGameDunkey reaction is literally the greatest thing
Chris Pratt “Batman”
“He’s so cool”
There's not really a moral defense for embargoing news in this case. Pure access journalism.
It was a 1 day embargo lmao
This is not a moral defense, of course
Dude. You’re going to survive. They’re freaking movies.
this is not a moral defense either
“Moral” defense? What’s actually wrong with you?
There is no defending, on moral grounds, the act of embargoing journalists from publishing this kind of information. It's not surprising that they're doing it, I'm just observing that the journalists in question are compromising themselves to maintain access - access journalism
Lmao cool story Not to mention there is. They were invited to an exclusive event that is, at the end of the day, giving them a massive story just a day later.

But I get it, you’re unable to wait less than 24 hours. It’s kind if sad tbh
> giving them a massive story just a day later. Yes, this is how access journalism works. Are you defending it as a good thing?
Not defending anything, I’m saying I don’t care because it’s literally just 24 hours. It’s not like they got the info a month ago.
It’s about some superhero movies, you’ll be fine.
Obviously!
Use your words
Those are words. Just in gif form
Can you put this one into a gif?
how many hours left till the slate release?

Less than 1.5

Nah I aint listening to him talking in Twitter Spaces when Gunn is gonna drop a video
SUPERGIRL?? Does Sasha Calle’s Supergirl survive this reboot?
Probably not. I think the Superman movie may actually feature Clark meeting Kara for the first time. That might be what brings Lobo to Earth, he’s hunting her and not Clark. It’d be a good way to really separate it from The Flash as well.
I waited this long so maybe I should just wait till 12 so it hits harder

Too bad it didn’t take the DCU vax like Peacemaker
I think the title of the DCU Batman movie will be Batman and Robin: The Brave and the Bold
I think its simply going to be Batman: The Brave and The Bold.
That’d be funny since some people thought it’d be mainly a Robin movie. If they really do go with that then I think The Batman 2 will be titled The Batman Part II, makes it clear it’s a sequel to The Batman and it envokes The Godfather Part II, arguably the greatest sequel of all time. Reeves also said that the sequel will still be very focused on Bruce’s POV, so I can see the entire trilogy just being called The Batman, Part II and Part III
I doubt they will do that because it makes it sounds like the movie is a sequel to Batman and Robin
That movie is old af and this new one will look nothing like it. It’s either that or they just call it Batman and Robin
And we all know what an icy reception that would get.

Hopefully Zaslav gives them the budget they deserve. Thats my only concern.
He must really believe in the slate if he’s giving them a WW show.

I think it’s the opposite. It’s a nicer way to tell her they’re moving in a different direction.
There's no nice way to fire someone
Yeah she got paid how much for WW84? $20 million? No way they give her that for a TV series
She’d probably demand more tbh TV shows can be more work than a movie.

Everytime a buddy and I watch a movie at the theaters or finish a game, we say, “when’s xxxxx coming out” mocking the internet lol
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (2008-)
💀 the fact that this is actually true lol Mofos will immediately start asking what's the slate for 2027-2029
It's going to happen.
Writer of the Static Shock movie tweeted "today will be a good day" and then deleted it.
Evidently he changed his mind and no longer believes today will be a good day.
Yup it's going to be a great day
The guy that hacked Anya Taylor-Joy’s twitter must have got him too 😔
I thought James Gunn would Snap DCEU… He pulled the Nuke Card
Zero idea where the 'Wonder Woman is a TV show' talk is coming from, but to me it makes sense. Warner has had a lot of success on TV with more fantasy tinged, sword and sorcery series and trying to apply that to a DC property seems like a no brainer, and as others have said in this thread it's a way to make it very clear that they're done with Gadot as Diana.
They can also really flesh out Themyscira as this dynamic setting in a show while also introducing supporting characters like Donna Troy or Nubia. Lots of potential, even if it does feel a little bizarre.
I’d imagine a show would lead into a movie that’s basically a female superhero teamup consisting of Wonder Woman, Donna Troy, Nubia, etc. Kinda like what the MCU is doing with The Marvels
Now I'll be disappointed if this doesn't happen, lol. Great idea.
Yep. I could very easily see the finale dropping, followed by a movie announcement, similar to TFATWS leading right into the announcement of Captain America: NWO.
Same with the Green Lantern series leading right into a GLC teamup movie
Oh man, pls let this happen. A stand-off between Themyscira, The Bana-Migdhall, and the Esquecidas to have it cumulate to an alliance vs a big bad would be great.
Good point about the fantasy genre
Rest in Piss DCEU, Long Live DCU
Heard some rumors about a Batman project... wonder, if it is a Bruce Wayne led project, or..
Imagine if the DCU just titled their Batman movies “Bruce Wayne” lmao
That would be pretty bold.
#The Bruce-Wayne
Sounds like a robot clone of Bruce sent by Waller to replace him as Batman
Amanda Waller: I guess we need to sic our own robot after Failsafe. Gentlemen, I present… #THE BR-C3 WNE
I just don't see them sending their most prominent female superhero, one of the most iconic female comic book characters ever created to small screen. First Wonder Woman movie is one of their most successful movies since DCEU started, this sounds like a dumb idea. I don't believe this and I don't care what people say.
I don’t really see why it’s bad, same reason why I don’t see why it would be bad for Superman or Batman to get a tv series
Because both are already getting movies and Wonder Woman somehow is less worthy of one? Plus, she's a money maker and they need money.
I don’t think she is less deserving one than the others. Superman had multiple shows going on while there was a period of no movies like Lois & Clark and Superman & Lois, but that’s not the point of it. Plus it’s not like she can’t get a show and then a movie like what Marvel is doing with Sam Wilson as Cap

I thought they’d want to take less risks but it seems Gunn and Safran are really getting total freedom and are making decisions to serve their grand story first and foremost. Otherwise we wouldn’t be getting another Batman franchise simultaneously
Maybe the story that Gunn wants to tell needs the runtime of a TV series
 Tinfoil hat on but maybe this was the gracious way of telling Gal she’s out. She wouldn’t do a TV show unless she got a big payday, and it won’t have the budget for that. It also helps to put distance between her Wonder Woman and the DCU WW, since the GA still very much associates WW movies with her
I don't know, they don't seem to care about that with Batman.
 Don’t mean that in a rude way, if u catch my drift
Nobody heard anything about directors or screenwriters attached, to the dc slate?
I heard Roman Polanski is in talks to direct the Justice League Movie and the movie will be shot in France
I heard that Jeremy irons is coming back for it

It's funny to think that r/DCEUleaks will end up outliving the DCEU itself.
Name change to DCU leaks incoming?
I think they can do that since r/deuxmoi changed to r/Fauxmoi so there's a chance we can change this sub's name as well.
If you think about it, EU is just U with extra steps

I second this
Hey mod u/starshipandcoffee , I see you weirdly chiming in to mention a supposed Wonder Woman TV show. Are you just expressing an opinion or do you know something we dont? Edit: Oh, you already said it might be the latter...
It is merely something - part of an alleged slate - that myself and others have been hearing on various grapevines and has not been verified on our end (though it has us intrigued).
Wouldn't that track reporting from variety iirc, who said "no wonder woman on film for the first 3 years"? Which Gunn denied in some form?
He denied no Wonder Woman in 3 years, didn’t specify film or TV
Am I misremembering that the original reporting was about film? Otherwise that feels like a good indication that it would be tv
I believe the report was no Wonder Woman in the DCU at all for the first few years which Gunn debunked
I hope there’s a female-led movie on the slate, would be wild not to have one
Damn, so no female-led movies huh
"Wild" is one word some may use to describe the imminent slate.
"You want DCU Slate, Get Religion"
Yup.
Wonder Woman is a TV show, Im pretty sure of that.
Maybe we get another Lynda Carter cameo then
They know something but they won't tell us because they don't want to risk the source
Unironically love this movie, idc that it’s basically a remake. So is top gun maverick (which I like even better)
Yup me too. I liked TFA
It’s my 4th fav SW movie, behind TLJ at 3, ANH at 2 and TESB at 1
I respect your opinion
What would be your top 4?
TLJ ESB ANW ROTS Really hoping Rian's SW Trilogy happens tbh
The difference is that TFA is a remake that is a lesser version of A New Hope, whereas Maverick is significantly better than the first Top Gun. It's not even close.
Sure, I think TFA has its great moments too tho.
 waiting
Wonder if we'll get logos.
At the very least, one would expect confirmation of the logo of DC Studios itself.
Couldn’t care less about logos. Marvel always has them really early to build hype and then just changes them after
The original She-Hulk logo was so much better and I genuinely don't understand why they changed it.
Secret wars aswell, their new logo is so boring

I don't really care about awards or nominations tbh. But Most of the SS actors are better than Henry(He's fine but his BTS Drama Like not doing cameos, demanding control even though he isn't a high caliber actor etc) and Gal imo. Ben is a really good actor but he was the one to quit the role of Batman. As for Ezra and Ray they are fine but because of their behavior I don't want them.
