That new Joker film looks beyond awful. I'm starting to think that people are actually trying to sabotage DC films from within the company. I can't believe anyone could be this dense to keep making the same mistakes over and over like this. This type of corporate stupidity is normally reserved for Everton!

Think they need a reboot. Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck are already out the door. Start from scratch.

Who gives a shabite about the Aquaman film? Or the jarg DC tv series.

All they have to do is make a flashpoint movie (I don't know if your familiar with that story but the basic idea is that Flash goes back in time to save his mother and consequently messes up the time line for everyone). In one stroke they'd make a great movie and have an excuse to use new actors playing the roles of their major characters. They can keep what's good like Wonder Woman and Aquaman but drop the crap, it would actually be really positive move for the company.

All that would require common sense and knowledge of the source material from the people making the movies though so I'm not holding my breath.

The Joker origin has potential to be TDK.

Heath's Joker created a multitude of personality which made him more dimensional as a brilliant villain.

Nicholson's joker had a mini story which was true-ish to how the Joker came about but there are multiple stories.

I think Arthur has a very raw and hopefully R rated beginning to one of the greatest comic character ever.

It will be excellent!

Speaking of origin stories, Venom? That looks very CGI MEH to me

Said this last week to a mate, if they don't do that WB needed shooting. It would save so much time and more importantly money.

I am familiar but reckon that needs a host of other movies before it - so that the contrast of the alternative realities is more effective.

Its not ideal I agree but I think it's the best way forward at this stage. I just think that starting all over with entirely new people with no story explanation would leave a bad taste for a lot of casuals who would be more likely to go for a storyline soft reboot with a logical explanation. I don't think DC and Warner Bros have left themselves much wiggle room here.

Think that's already the case based on the Justice League box office returns. Imagine mucking up the Justice League film ffs. What a mess.

Revenge of the nerds

Not the last film, just the last few pages

Don't breathe on Netflix. People try and rob blind man who's hiding a woman in the basement. 2/10.

2/10? I thought it was much better than that.

they should make a Sniderman film. The initial drama would be not knowing who he really is, even the audience won't be in on it, but there'll be a few main characters who it could be.

The big twist at the end is that Sniderman ends up being all of them, just at different times.

Spiderman is a marvel property mate but DC have loads of great characters. Wonder Woman, Green Lantern (who is a brilliant character that is unfortunately tainted by the awful Reynolds movie). Green Arrow another with excellent potential. Martin Manhunter would be interesting as would a Flash film with a non-cringey actor playing Barry Allen. They've got John Constantine, Swamp Thing, Cyborg along with the Titans and many other characters like Hawkman and the Spectre. They could use the New God's that may be completely unknown to your average viewer but have great potential if done properly. The Booster Gold character would work better today then when he was first created as a film character.

They also have so many side characters associated with their main associated with their big three. I mean they could do a series of movies about individual "Bat-family" characters like Red Hood, Night-Wing, Batwoman, Batgirl, ect and it would probably sell way better then their current DCEU at this stage and have loads more potential.

I’d gun for an Animal Man movie. Or Doom Patrol. DC have loads of excellent characters.

I'm not sure either of them would work mate. I love the Animal Man comics but it strikes me as the type of thing that would work better on tv then the cinema. Doom Patrol? People will say the same thing they always have. "X-Men rip-off" (despite the fact that it's the other way around). The problem with both of them is that I really don't see the mass market appeal. They're the type of thing comic book fans love but casuals don't care about.

Solo, despite the fact that this film was totally unnecessary I still love it. It had it's fault, like the horrendously boring L3 droid character and the depressingly lengthy camera time she gets, but overall it's a really enjoyable film that has the sense of fun that's been missing in Disney Star Wars. All the nods to the EU were brilliant for me too. Its just a pity that the Last Jedi put so many people's back up that they didn't bother with this film at the cinema because it really is very good. For what it is, 8/10

Really not sure about that Venom film, got nerves ahead of seeing it. He's my favourite Marvel character, the studio has a good track record and I actually rate Tom Hardy very much. It's just the premise seems to have him as an anti-hero who fights bad guys, something the character should never be. Eddie Brock isn't a good guy as a character, he's low-class hack whom the symbiote embraces because of the negative aspects of his personality. Peter Parker, the good guy with morals and a conscience whom you root for, rejected it.

Venom is and always should be an established villain.
