@evelynjunn Didn't he "stay in leadership" for 3 decades?

[James Readerbelly @Net2099]

@Stunt_ManMik3 Oh, and people who complain Lanterns wasn't "comic accurate" have no problem with the left-turn that was Constantine

[James Readerbelly @Net2099]

@Stunt_ManMik3 So he wasn't building a Universe like you want, but greenlighting anything would be?

Plus its a sequel to a 20 year old (?) film, which barely made a profit then, and (to be polite) had a mixed critical reception.

@JasonLaboyPhoto Warner sells Batman 66 merch, Looney Tunes merch (while doing little with them and wanting to write off Coyote Vs Acme), Wizard of Oz merch...

Isn’t it fascinating how literally not a single technological advance has actually saved people work? We’re more productive now than ever and yet retirement is a bigger fantasy now than half a century ago

[Mike Drucker @MikeDrucker]

“Nothing can stop AI, just get used to it” and “The industry that makes this technology will completely collapse if the wrong guy has an affair” seem like somewhat contradictory ideas

@FreddyInSpace Did you see a massive marketing spend?

[Fairy Gothmother, MD @jenny2x4]

You can tell this is true by how all the prisons are famously flooded with wealthy conservative straight white men

@moveimemo Some theater's showing the old 90s BioDome movie?

[James Readerbelly @Net2099]

@flixcenter 4. Just speculating here, but I suspect both Superman/girl being Kryptonians will be an important plot point in MoT. Also, Supergirl's character arc was worthwhile and presumably both Superman movies bookend it.

5. They're TV. Would you really want them introduced in animation?

[James Readerbelly @Net2099]

@flixcenter 1. It's superheroes. Nobody needs to stay dead.
2. It's TV - it doesn't affect the movies.
3. Or, establishing Grodd before the Flash movie...?

I don't actually believe he could do a Flash movie before say, 2028 given the negative reaction to the last one (and the actor)...

[James Readerbelly @Net2099]

@BenThompsonRBUK Because he's beed tried and convicted. Not pre-trial. That's how the law works in this country, and always has worked

[James Readerbelly @Net2099]

@ReedRothchild08 @ZASpookshow And as for a new Flash movie? Good luck with that!

We'll never know now, as it would be tainted as a dying franchise, but the idea MoT wouldn't pull in more BO sounds insane to me. Plus, the plot sounds like it, and Superman before it, was building to a JL in an organic way.

[James Readerbelly @Net2099]

@ReedRothchild08 @ZASpookshow No but I think he had a damaged brand to work with. He did as well as could reasonably be expected. I mean, if this new guy does do a WW movie, let's hope it's super good because people still remember WW84. Gunn couldn't have done one sooner...

@khaliltooshort It's not Doom

[Tall God @TallGodforever]

by your logic they should’ve canceled the nolan trilogy after Batman Begins only made 375M on a 150M dollar budget.

150M x 2.5 = 375M, they barely broke even on a BATMAN MOVIE but kept going because the film was good, not to mention it had an uphill battle after the schumacher movies.

this scenario sound familiar?

[James Readerbelly @Net2099]

@FilmbyObryan "Fast track?" THE Batman?

[James Readerbelly @Net2099]

@thomasriviereX Superman gives us a different Green Lantern (some may say more interesting & more potential than Jordan). IMO things were moving together well.

And Supergirl was no worse than Iron Man II or maybe even Marvel's Hulk movie. And the MCU still did OK. You guys just need patience.

[James Readerbelly @Net2099]

@thomasriviereX Well, Supergirl has a connection to Brainiac. Brainiac attacking Earth allows all the heroes we've seen come together - again moving towards a Justice League. Reeves had/has Batman, WW84 was a huge critical flop as was The Flash (so good luck making movies around them so soon)...

[James Readerbelly @Net2099]

@VashKohime Or quality declined when he stopped taking notes from comic writers, or it declined when the new characters or storyline to beat his originals. Or, most likely, all three - TV, notes and new characters/plots.
