The only real surprise about Gunn being brought on board is that he's working on a sequel rather than launching a new franchise for them. If this goes well, he'd probably be given one. The first film wasn't critically successful, clearly, but was a big money maker, so if he delivers a sequel that impresses, he'd probably be able to helm a project that's more his baby.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}So putting cast members of The Incredible Hulk on the bus, then? Thanks, Universal! :-) But what I really hope, er, want to know is...Darcy snapped out of existence or not? /You can take "MJ" with her too. //Enough with the hipster chicks, MCU! I never got the Darcy hate. Could be that I am a Kat Dennings fan

And the way they are talking Suicide Squad 2 might only be a sequel in title only.

Yeah Suicide Squad 1 was abysmal. Guardians 2 was tiresome too however. Think this will stink too.

I didn't like or dislike Darcy. She's just there for me.

Marvel will most likely snatch him up soon. I can't see them letting this go at all. Marvel and DC dont sign people to exclusive deals. Excellent, so Karen Gillan as Batgirl is still on the table.

I mean they are even making a Birds of Prey movie... but are leaving Barbara entirely out of that... despite... that kinda being her group.

At this point I don't even think DC sees it as her team anymore as much as they see it as a catch-all name for any all female superhero team they might want to put together.

(or...at this rate, expect Batman to get a sex change and take over that group too)

(or...at this rate, expect Batman to get a sex change and take over that group too) To be fair, I imagine part of that is they don't want to put Barbara Gordon in a wheelchair, either because of the problematic elements of "The Killing Joke" or because they already killed of Robin off screen. That said, they really are centering the DCEU going forward around Harley, aren't they? Birds of Prey, Gotham City Sirens, and Suicide Squad 2, plus I'm not sure if Harley vs. Joker is completely off the table. At this rate, she's going to be giving Robert Downey Jr. and Jennifer Lawrence a run for their money.

I don't see them making Barbara Oracle in the movies not even from a problematic Killing Joke thing... but because Barbara Gordon's Batgirl was one of their best selling series for a while.

Yeah, the most recent book was even called Batgirl and the Birds of Prey. Regardless of whether she's Oracle or Batgirl, Babs is an integral part of the BoP. So, naturally, WB is making a Birds of Prey movie without her
