[Movies] The DC Cinematic Universe - The David Zazlav Dumpster Fire.
...Krypto, SuperDog, confirmed?
Pretty sure magic it's it's own thing in the DCU.
And i just remembered: http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Homo_Magi
Although i guess Billy might not count since he's technically using some else magic.
That page actually explicitly says that Billy Batson is permanently "changed" by the power of the wizard. He's not Homo Magi, just a kid with magic powers.
It's a wiki, it's not really authoritative, is it.
I still can't believe they're making this. All those movies WB announced and then cancelled, but this. This they keep.
In other news, WB is going ahead with Supergirl, which will be set in the 1970s.

Why the 70s? To have an excuse for her to wear a miniskirt?
Because that's when the Donner Superman was made/took place.
Was gonna say...what’s the chance they resurrect/hallucinate some footage of Christopher Reeve for this movie.

DC needs to take a breath, and relax for a bit. Calm down. Now, fire everyone except for the WW folks and just start over. Simple.
It took me getting to WW to realize I wasn't in the politics thread
The only picture I've seen so far was captioned as being The Joker before the accident that made him all clowny.
Our first look at Joaquin Phoenix in make-up as the Joker.
Thanks, I hate it.
It's actually not bad; I just have zero interest in this movie.

Now I understand: that image would look more at home in The Purge.
Why does DC/WB seem to be so intent on hiring directors that hate their characters? I honestly think that Wonder Woman was a mistake now.
"Hey, let's do a female superhero movie!"
"Nobody will watch that, nobody wants female superheroes."
"Well, Marvel hasn't done one yet, we can say we were first, even if nobody wants it."
"Okay, we don't want to invest much in this failure, why don't we get some woman to direct so that we can do it cheaply."
"Sure."
That's my head cannon about WW now.

I feel like I've seen this before...Our first look at Joaquin Phoenix in make-up as the Joker.
That might be it.
Phoenix doesn't care what fans think: https://movieweb.com/joker-movie-joaquin-phoenix-fan-reception/
That's really how every actor needs to be.
True.
And I remember vividly how much people initially hated the idea of having Heath Ledger as the Joker, and I remember how much people hated the initial screen test for Ledger’s Joker when it came out. Obviously that all worked out pretty well.
But this movie doesn’t look bad to me because of Joaquin Phoenix. It looks like it will be bad because, once again, DC is trying to do some weird deconstruction of their own property. It’s like they hate the idea of doing a movie with their own characters and, as @Sparhawk said, will only hire directors who hate the source material.

That might be it.
I wonder if anyone has done a fan-edit to give him more iconic Joker colors of purple and green, instead of the red and blue.
Ha! We did Pagliacci as part of our marching band show in '95. I'm disappointed I didn't think of this image sooner.

...Honestly, I'm kind of intrigued.
There's some talent in it, and the fact that it's a standalone film with no ties at all to a cinematic universe gives it some room for something interesting. I'm still most excited about Shazam in terms of DC movies, but considering how much Warner Bros. now looks to just be throwing stuff out and seeing what works, maybe an Elseworlds thing like this might not be bad.
I'm at least curious with a side of skeptical.
...And now there's a better picture of Joaquin Phoenix as Joker.
