DC NEWS AND INFO!

There is a lot of new and interesting DC News out there floating around in the ether of the internet space.  I got some very cool info for you about some very good Tv shows and movies. Some very interesting things about the overall plan for the DC Universe.  

Legends of Tomorrow

Legends of Tomorrow is coming back and is a new night! When it comes back it will be Flash at 7/8pm and then at 8/9pm will be Legends. Double dose of Arrowverse! The Legion of Doom is also coming to the small screen in the form of Malcolm Merlyn, Reverse Flash, and Damian Darkhe. I’m excited about the second half of the season. Though honestly we have a month before the new episode drops so just have to wonder I guess. This is in the form of a spoiler but I wonder how they are going to handle the Rip Hunter becoming a director in the late 60’s. If you haven’t seen it there is still time to get caught up as the first season on netflix and can buy the other episodes or check on demand. This is a silly and over the top show but it’s done very well. It’s a US version of Doctor Who for all the Who fans out there.

Jesse Eisenberg and Lex Luthor

The tentpole film Batman Vs. Superman wasn’t exactly a hit out of the park for the studio and for the fan’s. People either loved or hated it. I hate the theatrical and I do actually like the Extended or Director's cut. Jessie’s version though of Lex Luthor was interesting to say the least.

According to Vulture they are saying that Jesse will be back for Justice League. They mentioned it in a press kit released by WB for the film. It makes sense that they would bring back Lex though. Seeing as he’s in a prison cell and all. Also too he played in such a key role for the BvsS movie. I hope though that they do reign him in. It should also be mentioned that Connie Nelson will be back to replay Wonder Woman’s mom. Since they are now a shared universe. Here is to hoping that Justice League is good and not like BvsS.

“No Consideration for Failure”

This is kind of shocking really a man by the name of Charles Roven for WB says that they didn’t think of it failing. A producer that helped come up with the shared universe films. When it's all said and done will take 8 years. These people didn’t come up with a planned B. So if Wonder Woman tanks and Justice League sucks what then? Well the answer is “Ehhhh screw it?” Exactly what the DC community of fans wants to hear. I hope that the brass there at WB do have a plan or are coming up with one.

"The studio made me the producer of all the DC movies, and they announced eight. When we finished the [timetable], we looked at each other and said, ‘This is incredibly ambitious, but we haven’t taken into consideration if something goes wrong.’ We also hadn’t decided where we were going to shoot those movies. As difficult as it was for me to commute from Toronto to London to Italy, it became really clear I couldn’t do the job that I do as a producer [with Aquaman likely to shoot in Australia]. I’m for sure producing the sequels of the movies that I have made.”

WB is pouring millions of millions of dollars into these films and they don’t have a path really. I hope that this plan isn’t ridged or set in stone. Marvel which is the movie company they are desperately chasing. I hope that while they have adapted and taken the steps to let the story dictate. I hope that WB’s plan isn’t to rigid because it’s not like they have anything else to go to.
