If the DCEU can have a united vision and slowly build to the next big team up, its a great thing.
While I'm more of a Marvel guy, I do love DC to. I'm excited for Cavill as Superman and I love Shazam, he's always been one of my favorite heroes.

I'm so sad about this. I loved him as Geralt and no disrespect to Liam Hemsworth but he's a downgrade. I wonder how much of Cavill's decision to leave is due to Superman (schedules, money etc) and how much might be due to other factors. He's butted heads with the writers/showrunner of the Witcher so I wonder if he just decided enough was enough and bounced.

Wonder if Eisenberg is still gonna be Lex. Same for all the other MOS supporting characters for that matter. Was reading some of my favorite Superman TPB’s from the 90s/early 2000s and man..I really hope they nail a great Superman movie. One that marries the characters and action.

Keep Battinson away please, the Bat being in his own world doing his own thing is a-ok by me. Would be nice if Gunn gets this thing under control though, cautious optimism I suppose.

I'm pretty sure Reeves has it in his contract that there won't be any crossover. Pattinson isn't willing to commit to the demands of a shared universe either.

I wonder if they'll celebrate the official changeover today by announcing anything. Might be a good day for the formal announcement of a new Superman movie or even a Shazam trailer or something.

I can only hope that the new team are smart enough to have patience with things.
I mean Gunn clearly understands pacing. But getting to the big moments has always been DC's problem.
Though allegedly it was entirely Snyder's idea to make movie 2 BVS based heavily on Dark knight returns for some reason.

Imagine you have a three act play about Julius Caesar (but not like the one that Shakespeare did. He's a hasbeen bro). Act 1 is all about Caesar's rise to prominence as a general of the Roman Republic. Act 2 starts with Caesar being stabbed by the Roman Senate without even so much as an introduction for Brutus and Cassius or their motivation for assassinating the Roman leader. That's pretty much the jump from MoS to BVS.

His defenders argue that Snyder always intended to make MOS2 but Warner Bros. panicked over MOS1's failure to make a billion at the box office (though those same defenders will insist it didn't underperform and was a great success) and forced him to throw Batman and Wonder Woman into the story, and lacking the time to create a wholly original story Snyder, Terrio, and Goyer chose to take inspiration from Dark Knight Returns. Which is all well and good... if you ignore Snyder's insistence that he never intended to create a shared universe and that he only ever intended to tell a five-movie arc beginning with MOS, followed by BVS, and ending with the Justice League trilogy.

Yeah, from things I've read Snyder is the one that demanded his Man of Steel 2 be BVS to WB not the other way around.

Lex's entire plan hinges on playing on the public's distrust of Superman to dupe Bruce into believing his actions are justified. Him suddenly dying when humanity fear him the most should provoke relief, not sadness.

Man of Steel set such a narrative mess for anything outside of whatever the hell Snyder, Goyer, Terrio, etc. wanted to do to the DCEU that the new Cavill movie should just be a reboot and tell a fresh story. And don't actually call it Man of Steel 2.

I'm sick of movies about Batman's origin or when he's an old man.
Show me Batman and the Batfamily, in their prime, fighting crime. It's an easy formula.
