This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]540971[/split]
In April. Rumor was they're going to be introducing a new costume and are tweaking his characterization. The claim was that he's gonna be introduced in Shazam to reintroduce him to audiences and see if there's interest in a new Superman flick.
So WB allows 2 versions of the same character in movies? Wait a few days and they might announce an original movie of a young Batman going along with the weary tired Affleck Batman.
I'm skeptical the Leto Joker film is even happening. Someone on the JL forums posited that it could just be WB kicking around dirt to make Jared Leto happy since he was a much bigger star than Margot Robbie going into Suicide Squad, and yet she ended up being the far more popular part of the movie and got her own spin-off.

I think it originated from an El Fanboy report. Apparently the new designs being thrown around are less alien and resemble the Rebirth suit.Do you remember the source of this rumor? I'm intrigued.

While very likely, I still believe WB are toying with the idea of reanimating DCFU's corpse. I feel the reason WW is set in 1984 is because they put on hold continuation of DCFU to see how other things play out. Aquaman, Shazam...It wont. Aquaman is going to bomb. The DCEU is poison at the box office now, with the possible exception of Wonder Woman. The same people that stayed away in droves from Justice League will avoid Aquaman too. As far as the general, casual audience is concerned, the current DCEU that spawned from Snyders work is a ****show they want nothing to do with. The actual Aquaman film may well be okay, or even good, but its still going to fail at the box office. I just hope that when it does, both WB, and a lot of people on these boards, will accept that the show is over for this cinematic universe, and that a full reboot is needed.
I expect Aquaman to do quite well, actually. Perhaps not as well as Wonder Woman but I'd comfortably predict a $700-$800 million haul.
We haven't had a big-budget, underwater adventure film in a long time. In fact, in terms of sheer scale we may very well have never had anything like it. The novelty factor cannot be overlooked.
2 things that have been mentioned this page that Im super confident in:
- Aquaman is not going to bomb
- The Letoker movie isn't going to happen

Between 700-800 million is my guess as well.
WB has proven they can market the hell out of almost anything, and Aquaman as a bright, colorful swashbuckling underwater adventure can practically market itself. Word is theyre confident in this and I think they have good reason for it. I trust that Wan knows what hes doing and I know itll be a hit.

That would be cool. Deathstroke would have to kill some of the team, just to show ruthless and badass he is.
I don't even see the point of it, really. Assuming the Joaquin Phoenix film covers the origin story, what else is there to tell that makes Leto's film essential to tell? A loose adaptation of the Joker graphic novel I guess?
