Discuss news and events of the new film.
 
My hope is the film actually comes out! That costume is too good to let sit on the shelves.
 
The costume is phenomenal. This is easily my most anticipated of upcoming movies.

Very cool that it'll be in Spanish.
 
I'm intrigued by this. Though I would have preferred if Wb made a solo movie for Martian Manhunter, Hawkman and Zatanna first.

I'm curious how would the general public would respond to this.
 
Blue Beetle joining the DCEU...I can only hope that his character ends up interacting with some of the Justice League characters

Screw that. Booster Gold, Booster Gold, Booster Gold!!!
 
Regardless of how critically successful this is, it still stars an unproven character, with a lack of major star power. I think it will underperform. I want it to succeed though so DC takes more risks but I have very low expectations. If a superhero movie with the Rock can’t exactly light up the box office, then this will flop…. Just trying to be realistic here
 
Another boX office disappointment.

Like we had DCEU films with good critical reception and still grossed less than $100 million in North America.
 
Yeah I think if the intention is to right the ship then releasing what is sure to be a box office disappointment (I will be shocked yet thrilled otherwise) may be the wrong move
 
Wb put themselves in the situation in which they could have a cinematic universe that every upcoming DC film is connected. Yet they decided to have JokerVerse and TheBatmanVerse alongside DCEU. This isn't going to help the lesser known characters to get sequels. Plus the poor track record of the DCEU with critics is another factor.

Thats like Marvel Studios doing an Ant-Man movie, when Captain America and Iron Man are set in a different universe/continuity.
 
I wonder if this movie will fall into James Gunn's new vision for the DCU? But also if it does, if we don't get any other cameos from any other DCU heroes especially since Gunn is now the new Feige for DC as a whole?
 
I dig it. Liking the combination of blues and purples in the font there too.
 
So it looks like they're going for the Outrun/Synthwave type vibe
 
I'm late to the party...but from my understanding, this is steeped in latin culture and for the latin people in particular? I appreciate that... that's a bold but forward thinking move.

I once walked into a movie that had subtitles and it was kinda jarring, however, a good movie is a good movie so I hope this works out.

The budget is low, but that's good as it forces the team to keep it real and be creative, to me, I always prefer practical over cgi...

Squid games, phenomenal success, many non English series succeed.

The colour scheme snd style made me think of Gunn's aesthetic though and so far, I'm not too impressed with Gunn's style however we all could do with something different.

I have to agree that they literally just threw money at ideas and hoped for the best.. DCEU, Reeveverse, Jokerverse. We all scratched our heads at the Phillips idea and I remember for a while they hinted at moving forward no connective tissue to anything and just solo stories - that was a good thing in my eyes as they were trying too hard the other way and it failed.

I think what Marvel had, is they went into it one movie at a time and were able to expand - x men was a different thing and they were able to see how their story could expand and include, but let's not forget they had a few misfires along the way - Hulk, spidermen 3 etc.

Dc could use Blue Beetle as the first movie - then expand into so many other characters and tell good stories, then introduce the big guns.

I feel like they need to make a Flash Sequel as their next main priority that addresses anything the first didn't and show how time travel changed everything, show a new universe that's essential a soft reboot.

This soft reboot can focus on so many side characters and let's see stories we can relate too, we can see ourselves and our community in..everything can appear as a solo movie, not held hostage to anything.

A booster gold movie set in the future is a great way to show how everything changed... he could be the dead pool and be the link to the audience of what happened.
 

Pretty cool poster. Really hope the trailer is good and can get people interested. Really want this to do well (and survive into the DCU if at all possible).
 
Awesome, please be good!
