As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

WB is still making moves based on the unexpected fan/critic reception of BvS (and Man of Steel), not to mention the fact that it didn't hit $900 million, let along the $1 billion everyone thought it would surge past based on the title alone.

That's an interesting article where WB is FINALLY copying Marvel and creating a Kevin Feige position with a DC guy at the helm. They've created a new studio ala Marvel Studios. They're also scaling back Snyder's influence as it's becoming clear he has no clue who these characters are or what they represent.

The article seems a bit like Snyder is being thrown under the bus, but they make some great points. The guy is amazing at visuals, but his storytelling is terrible.

I still think Suicide Squad will still suck, but this might mark a turn in direction for DC that will finally position them as competition for Marvel.

In other news, I heard on a podcast over the weekend that rumor has it Aquaman is a complete rewrite. So WB denying James Wan was hesitant about directing the movie was probably BS.

Damn. When your movie makes James Wan nervous, it's got some shit wrong.

Shitty Batman movie delayed so the studio can think of ways to make it less entertaining.
