Thoughts On Current and Future of The World of DC

The World of Dc has had a bad start with critics and even with some fans. Zack Snyder starting with Man of Steel (masterpiece in my opinion) has a 55% on Rotten Tomatoes, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice which everyone was hype for; during the announcement then everyone was disappointed because of the spoiler of doomsday; Suicide Squad had great trailers, but the film as a whole was subpar because of the editing and other things. There were even complaints about Will Smith being Dead shot because he is black (Dumb reason). Wonder Woman, which was finally an overall success with fans and critics. This is where we all thought that the heads of Dc had their stuff together, but we were wrong. Justice League which was a total different feel from anything prior, expect Suicide Squad. I thought it was a pretty average film, but many others did not share the same sentiment as I did.

As we can see The World of Dc hasn’t been doing quite well as a overall universe in terms of having fans being united like marvel. Granted The World of Dc is still young with five movies in; also getting a new head of Dc films, Walter Hamada, I have a feeling that the upcoming films will be amazing with Walter in charge. As of right now everything seems to be going smoothly with Wonder Woman getting HAN ZIMMER! The recent Aquaman and Shazam trailer which were both amazing in its own way. We have a Green Lantern Corps film, which Geoff Johns is currently doing the script. Last month Geoff Johns had an interview with Colider and talked about getting the script right for everyone. This is what Geoff Johns had to say.

“Right now look I’m just writing a script and hopefully this script gets into a place where Warner Bros. and Walter Hamada and everybody is really excited about it, and when we get that right then we’ll move ahead on the project. But we gotta get it right.”

The Batman which Matt Reeves who recently gave as an update on rumors about doing another origin story and how he is doing on the script.

“Year One is one of the many comic books that I love. We are definitely not doing Year One,” Reeves said. “We’re doing a story that is definitively Batman though, and trying to tell a story that’s emotional and yet is really about him being the world’s greatest detective and all the things that for me, since I was a kid, made me love Batman.”

The Dc Elseworld which is a great concept on paper and hopefully will be even better when executed. This will start off with Joaquin Phoenix Joker directed by Todd Phillips and will have great talent like Zazie Beetz and Robert De Niro. Joaquin Phoenix recently talked about what negative people think. This is what Joaquin Phoenix had to say.

“I don’t really think that much about what people think. Who cares, who cares? My approach to every movie is the same. What I’m interested in is the filmmaker and the idea of the character.”

He also had an interview a while back saying how much the film scares him. this is what Joaquin had to say.

“It feels unique, it is its own world in some ways, and maybe, mostly, it scares the fu**ing sh*t out of me or something. It might as well be the thing that scares you the most.”

I have full confidence in the futures of the Dc films. With Walter Hamada having time to plan out what he wants, and having trust in his directors. All the films that are officially been announced and is being worked on.
