'The Batman 2' is happening with Robert Pattinson and 'the whole team'

'The Batman' is getting a sequel with Robert Pattinson and 'the whole team,' Warner Bros. announces at Cinemacon.

The Batman 2 Not Yet Greenlit, Next Movie Reportedly ‘Years Away’

Robert Pattinson’s Bat-sequel isn’t exactly a sure thing.

The Batman 2 Not Yet Greenlit, Next Movie Reportedly ‘Years Away’ - IGN

The upcoming sequel to The Batman still hasn't been greenlit by Warner Bros. Discovery despite the film already being officially announced.

www.ign.com

Although The Batman blew away the box office and was apparently confirmed to be getting a sequel, The Batman 2 still isn't a guarantee. According to Variety, the upcoming sequel to Robert Pattinson’s first Batman movie hasn’t yet been greenlit by studio Warner Bros. Discovery.

The Batman 2 is thought to be in development, with writer/director Matt Reeves as well as star Robert Pattinson both returning. But it’s still years away from the box office, and Warner Bros. Discovery hasn’t officially given it the go-ahead.

This is despite WB confirming the film with an announcement back at CinemaCon.

The Batman was a huge hit, at least by pandemic standards, when it debuted earlier this year – earning an impressive $700 million worldwide. A sequel is highly likely to still be on the cards, despite recent troubles at the studio in the wake of the Warner Bros. Discovery merger.

IGN’s own review of The Batman gave it 10/10 saying that “Matt Reeves’ violent, thrilling, darkly beautiful take on The Batman more than justifies its place in the franchise’s canon.”

Quite how it sits within DC’s 10-year plan remains to be seen. But I can’t help thinking that The Batman 2, along with the upcoming Joker sequel will be the ones that eventually dominate the landscape in terms of Warner Bros. Discovery superhero films.

Which heroes will join them? That’s the big question.

But it looks as though it could be some time before we get any answers, with Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav waiting to find his own Kevin Feige before making any further plans.

Wtf is going on over there?

Wtf is going on over there?

The last part of the article I posted summed it up.

WB CEO wants to recreate the success of Disney/Marvel.

He wants his own “Kevin Feige”. It’s looking like he wants a full reboot of the DCEU.

It’s looking like the Flash, Shazam and Black Adam are headed to the trash heap and won’t see the light of the day.

We will wait and see….

^^^^

I know they BEEN wanting that.

But I don't think THIS is how you get there.

DC via WB CW already established crisis of Infinite earth's

Just do that.

Since they releasing Joker which is its own thing and Peacemaker is already connected to Snyder doom patrol and titans are connected Arrowverse is kinda sorta still here

What's the issue?

It was working.

So go post Snyder...

Which Gunn is ALREADY doing.

Why dump Batgirl and now miss up the MILLIONS you ALREADY invested?

Keaton and Affleck and Gunn and Rock were set to actually fix this mess

Let them cook.

Did you get to see @ViCiouS plan?

Apparently Batgirl was just terrible.....

I can't imagine making the call to scrap a movie that cost $90 Mil to make.....but I guess it's better than spending another $20-30 million on promo.....



I can't see them completely scrapping Black Adam


With the Rock attached and the hype it's gonna make money......

And then the potential tie-in with Shazam 3......


Uggg..... I just hate that DC wasted 10 years and some good talent near the end of their prime, only to now want to reboot and do it the way they should have from the beginning

 

[playahaitian]

man oh man I could save the WB a ton of money just with the talent on this board.

There ain’t no guarantee that Black Adam or Shazam will be releasing regardless if the Rock and others are slated to appear.

Every DC movie since “Man of Steel” which was released back in 2013 has been slammed as trash and got crappy reviews by critics….not including all the bitching and nit picking mofos do on this forum.

The movies have made money, but they aren’t on the level of MCU movies that you enjoy watching more than once.

How many folks reading this have rewatched any DC movie since 2013 compared to MCU movies?

That’s what the WB CEO is looking at. He ain’t looking at short term profits from theatrical release, he is looking at the future of potential viewing and profits from the films.

MCU movies and Star Wars movies are continuously replayed on various cable channels like TNT and TBS. They sometimes do marathons around the holidays. They get high ratings which is more profit for Disney.

When was the last time you saw a DC movie that has been released since 2013 get replayed on TV?

These DC movies are basically “One Shot” films. You watch it once…..that’s it…..you have no interest in rewatching it.

The WB CEO wants these DC films to be like “Goodfellas”, “Grease” and “The Godfather”.

Timeless Classics.

I will say this,I don't think AT&T thought Time Warner was a hot mess in 2018 when it brought it. This is me speculating,I think AT&T thought putting their people in and getting rid of the bad apples would save Time Warner but eventually it didn't because four years later they merging with Discovery.


Imagine,buying Time Warner for 85 billion dollars and four years later;you're merging with another corporation.

I said this before Time Warner was brought that Warner rushed those movies instead of rushing to compete with Marvel. Time Warner had all their DC properties and still had trouble putting up the same numbers as Marvel,who didn't have X-Men,Fantastic Four and etc at the time.


On top of that,Kevin Feige been a producer at Marvel since 2000 and he pretty much had the vision of a cinematic universe.

I think the merger is also a call to arms.... Disney+ gained on and matched (maybe even succeeded) Netflix in subscribers sooner than the industry thought....

So now they have to gain more content to stay relevant and justify their fees vs the rest of the field.

Also ultimately AT&T's boardwants out of the TV/media game. They canceled UVerse about a year ago, so there are no more new installs of that. DirecTV stream is actually handled by a 3rd party company....

In 5-10 years AT&T will be cellular service, internet and phone/voip.

They will stay in the content business until they can sell off or get bought out of the Time Warner mess.

The juice isn't worth the squeeze. (i.e......subscriber data / lack of privacy vs the hassle and damage to the brand/stock and future)

 

[fu2]

It's sucks looking forward into the future with us talking about what they should have done 10 years from now after they fuck this up again. With this thread being over 1000 pages deep.

I understand,why AT&T brought Time Warner but they really screwed themselves because it look like they didn't do a thorough job on how bad everything is at Warner.


My only issue with Disney+ is that I wish they put more Fox TV shows and movies on there unless it's on Hulu.

All,I have to say is that Netflix better hope Disney doesn't enter the anime market...

DC via WB CW already established crisis of Infinite earth's

ratings wise -no one watches CW...
if Berlanti gets axed - Zazlov is reading my mind

It was working.

no it was not -
the numbers are not there...

my guess is they are working on a rebrand - with initial goal of
establishing a uniform production value(eg Marvel Studios)

Joker2 will be the last DC one off
and any new siloed DC ip /projects will be WB only

I expect most of the TV & film slate will be scraped...

Bro what you mean it wasn't working?

They just starting! It wasn't done!

What EXACTLY you saying was not working?

Cause if the Batgirl Keaton Affleck Flash black Adam Shazam combo FAILED?

Then yes OK

Dump everything

But you can't say that.

Now they burning everything before you even see the results?

Ok so you willing to bet they got the next 4 projects NOT CALLED Joker 2 on lock to WIN BIG?

Cause the new guy can't take credit for Black Adam or Shazam or Aquaman or Flash.

If you killing it you can't collect the spoils as wins.

And basically theY messing with Gunn too cause Peacemaker connection to Snyder.

I actually support a hard reboot

But to just dumb these projects like that at least to me? Ain't smart

The app has value now and after the merger

Let titans and doom patrol get final seasons complete the run. It's better for business on every level.

You gonna get more hype and press, good will with the industry, a complete series to have in your library, new subscribers.

Win win.

 

[ViCiouS]

Cause if the Batgirl Keaton Affleck Flash black Adam Shazam combo FAILED?

it failed before it began...
Batgirl Flash are in different canons from Black Adam Shazam
Sarnov Hamada etc are grossly incompetent -couldn't even follow their own roadmap

it seems Zazlov meant it when he said 1 universe

What EXACTLY you saying was not working?

the current slate of stand alone film & TV...

to make a single canon across film and TV = clean slate
Shazam made $120m domestic
ww1984
Birds of Prey
CW / DC app ->HBOMax = no views

Ok so you willing to bet they got the next 4 projects NOT CALLED Joker 2 on lock to WIN BIG?

no - if emulating Marvel - I expect DC versions of Hulk Iron Man, Capt America etc movies building to Avengers

The app has value now and after the merger

not until summer 23...

It's on Hulu. Did you check Hulu? What are you missing?

[ViCiouS]

man
Sarnov Hamada etc slate of films
only success was Suicide Squad & Peacemaker

and somehow they left 2 +$200m movies that are looking at 3rd or 4th reshoots - new castings
-and a lead actor whose hobbies include serial assault, and evading police between reshoots

sometimes the baby has to go with the bathwater

 

[ansatsusha_gouki]

I had a Hulu account but it got hacked and they changed the email address. I had that shit before it became a paid streaming service. Thank goodness,I didn't put my information on it because I would have been shit out of luck... It seems like I wasnt the only one who got hacked...

Ok damn it I cannot argue against ANY of that.

But you know something?

Suicide squad was not even really really a success.

I hate you sometimes

 

[ViCiouS]

Suicide squad was not even really really a success.

I hate you sometimes

then neither was The Batman

 

[playahaitian]

then neither was The Batman

Hey I personally thought it was a success

But apparently Zaslov new BFF Campea is now saying Suicide Squad was a disappointment financially.

But see bro I can do that with anything.

I can pick and choose what numbers are "real" talk impact etc...

That's what I mean when I say these things transcend actual numbers a lot of the time

Some things are done to help DOWN the line of a larger plan.

We are not 100% sure Batgirl doesn't connect with the rest of the universe.

A simple end of credit scene can prove or disprove that.

Keaton being in flash and Batgirl is a connection that could easily extending into the Rock verse.

We were teased Cavill in Shazam, Rock and Cavill have the same agent Cavill is #team Snyder for life. So why is hard to assume they are or could be connected with Snyderverse?

No one saw the Justice League cameo in Peacemaker coming.

But OK

You betting it ALL on Zaslav.

I am NOT.

We will see who right.

But as usual if I'm wrong I will wear that scar forever

But if I'm right?

Cuz better not be any f*cking please copping

No excuses.
