With that and Rock's ex, I'm curious if WB didn't ask them to kinda help put out some fires while being ambiguous about him leaving. Neither thing actually states that he's staying.

Got to talking with my brother about it and I think your best bet for starting off a DC reboot would be Blue Beetle.
Jaime's outside of the established order, would be an instant way to establish some diversity, could be used to establish either a sci-fi or magic bent to the universe right off the bat depending on how you wanted to play it, and has been something of a rising star in recent years due to appearances in adaptations, and I feel like you could make it relatively cheaply. I kind of struggle to think of a better option.

There is no real definitive "i'm going to be on set for next movie"

Jon Hamm has also stated he might say yes to Batman.
What's weird is I was championing that immediately post Baby Driver. I'm mildly psychic apparently.

You'd hope that 'today was exciting' meant that he got PAID today and signed on for more. As is though, he in no way said "gonna do more" there.

Real shame for the DC film universe, because Supes is a tough one to cast. With Henry Cavill? He had the look, which made you believe he is Superman!
Should be real interesting to see who they cast in his place?

It's like.. he literally didn't say anything there haha. Though he should put the John Williams score in the background just to really f*** with people.

They'll do some goofy Flashpoint type deal to explain why some actors are gone and others remain. Cavill would in fact be the ideal Bond though, right out of central casting. I thought so after seeing The Man From UNCLE, even though that movie tanked. The flash movie is apparently flashpoint probably entirely for that reason. I have no idea what Flashpoint is going to be at this point. I assumed them using Justice League as a sort of soft reboot, followed by Aquaman, Shazam!, and WW84 all continuing this shift in tone, had spared them having to do a hard reboot, but now, I dunno. They might have to go on ahead and pull that trigger. I swear, the story behind these movies is more interesting than the movies themselves. I would totally cop a book about all the shit going on behind the scenes.

and pretty fed up of all y'all ribbing on that one kevin costner bit in man of steel *see last post* i thought it was the BEST SCENE in the entire movie! I think it's funny and the worst scene in the franchise. Even conceptually it doesn't make that much sense. He's fast enough that he could have saved his dad in way that also kept people from being the wiser.

Someone on Twitter has argued with me that it's not possible for a 'self respecting Superman fan' could say that JL version was definitive. I'm all "yuh huh" plus ya know Christopher Reeve.. The response "you proved yall just want Reeve! Blah blah blah.." And how modern Superman shouldn't be'corny' and all this. Bah. Seriously there is nothing corny with truth justice American way supes. And don't tell me it won't work when Marvel's boy scout is part of some of the best movies on that side. They put their boy scout into political thrillers built around central thesis statements that the morals he stands for are still valid in the modern world and that things are worth fighting for. Sincerely, and without muddying the waters with dark bullshit or needless cynicism, they presented Captain America as a socially relevant icon whose fight is still the good fight and who stands for things that still matter to people. They didn't compromise the core of the character or do anything to make it seem like he was somehow outdated or had to be adapted or changed. Captain America unironically and sincerely stood for things, and it paid off to the tune of billions.

I've always thought the idea of using Flashpoint to fix everything just makes the problems a million times worse. You've got basically building a movie entirely around turning upside down a universe people don't care about to begin with, that by its very concept has to be absurdly expensive, and with the end result being a reboot you could've just done without it that's probably just going to confuse people.

Yeah, adding on some wonky time travel storyline is pointless either way, even if you keep to the same continuity. Marvel didn't have to explain why Norton was now Ruffalo.

If he truly is out then they just need to end the DCEU and have Wonder Woman and Aquaman be the real beginning of the DCEU. Just scrap it altogether. There's no point in trying to keep the same continuity without Cavill or Affleck.
