Given that Justice League didn’t do that well, WB’s entire plans are in disarray...
Aquaman Film was already finished by the time JL was released, so it will come to the big screen no matter what... however the plans to do single films for other characters, like Flash etc are now up in the air. A Captain Marvel movie was planned, but with poor performance of JL everything as I understand it is up in the air.
What I just don’t get is why WB can’t seem to stop trying to turn every hero into a brooding anti-hero?
Part of WHY wonder woman was a success, was her character was ALWAYS optimistic.... NEVER ONCE did she lose her hope or her belief.
Batman is the brooding one.. Aquaman, at least the Aquaman of my time (90s mostly was reading DC regularly, returned to it after Rebirth and giving them another shot, because new 52 was unreadable garbage) does have a dark aspect to him, but he’s not the 2 dimensional twit that was on the screen during JL.
Flash from the 90s was an interesting character, the flash in current Rebirth is drivel and probably will be dropping it soon.
Detective is so full of bats now, and PC Pooferness (like flash) that as soon as Detective 1000 is out, will likely stop that one too..... Action Comics I don’t know what’s going on there, with Rebirth they seem to have just gone a bit crazy from what I can tell on that book as well.. even bringing back Krypto???? Really?? Krypto??? Again I suspect once Action Comics 1000 is out will probably stop that one again as well.
Will be down to Green Lantern Corps Hal Jordan.... The new Green Latern sucks too... If they both died tommorrow I would be fine with it... the two PC characters added a while back being given their own book, its tired rehash of old story lines from previous lanterns... I will give that book some credit in some of the ancillary characters that have been introduced have potential... but the two actual lanterns? Just kill them off... My guess is unless something changes will be down to Just reading Hal Jordan and Aquaman with a year.
Pretty much beat me to it. I am sick of them making up one Green Lantern after another just for the sake of diversity. There’s so many Green Lanterns that nothing feels at stake. Heck, it’s the problem I have with so many characters in comics that I don’t care that much for them anymore, because there’s however many spinoff characters in each franchise now that don’t feel as good as the main character.
All I can say is that when I look at all the comic book reboots and events, the industry feels like it’s dying off in comic books and trying to survive on a second life at the movies. Although when the movies fail, that’s going to be a blow that I don’t see the current franchises recovering from due to the amount of money that will go into the drain.
