[Yojimbo]

It'd be nice to see them do a proper Sgt. Rock movie .

Agreed, but I wonder how grounded or sci-fi they will get, i.e. if we'll see G.I. Robot in this one to expand on its backstory after he's introduced in Creature Commandos.

I keep thinking of that DC Showcase short where they straight up had him leading the Creature Commandos against Nazi's .

 

[Yojimbo]

Pom Klementieff rumored to be in talks for several roles including Huntress.

Pom Klementieff rumored to be in talks for several roles including Huntress.

I'd personally prefer she play a character that's actually Asian from the comics...but I'm also hoping it's a complete swerve from Mantis .

 

[Yojimbo]

Latest rumor is Drew Goddard is being considered to write/direct a movie.

He would be a solid choice .

 

[RoyalRubble]

According to the Hollywood Reporter, there's a Bane and Deathstroke movie in development.

 

[Frontier]

What a random pairing. Like we probably won't do another Suicide Squad movie but how about a Bane and Deathstroke buddy cop film ?

 

[TheGuy]

What a random pairing. Like we probably won't do another Suicide Squad movie but how about a Bane and Deathstroke buddy cop film ?

Random and weird as shouldn’t we get through everything else first? None the less interesting also Dave Batista as Bane anyone?

 

[Otaku-sempai]

What a random pairing. Like we probably won't do another Suicide Squad movie but how about a Bane and Deathstroke buddy cop film ?

Agreed. Also, I liked Deathstroke better as a morally ambiguous, almost anti-hero from the New Teen Titans.

 

[Yojimbo]

According to the Hollywood Reporter, there's a Bane and Deathstroke movie in development.

I was excited they were announcing another Harley Quinn spin off animated series but then I kept reading the article. lol. No, uh, feels random but not as random as Wonder Twins which could be a new nickname for Bane and Deathstroke. No, um, I wonder where this tracks. Maybe it's after the Teen Titans movie and could lead into a Secret Six movie? I could see this is a Deathstroke story but along the way he's forced to team up with Bane.

 

[wonderfly]

From the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:

"Bane And Deathstroke, Together At Last In The Gunnverse"​

"There’s a lot we still don’t know about James Gunn’s new DC Cinematic Universe, and a lot we won’t know until some of it is finally out there. We don’t know the general arc, we don’t know what the heroes will be like, we don’t even know what the overall tone will be (though based on the wiseacre feel of Gunn’s previous works, we can guess).

So when DC Studios says they’re thinking about giving Batman villains Bane and Deathstroke their own movie, we have to just shrug and say….whatever you want, man. We’re in no position to judge yet.

Bane, in most versions, is a South American man in a luchador mask who came up with a super-steroid formula to make himself incredibly muscular. Originally, he was as smart as he was strong, and made an instant impression in the comics’ Knightfall storyline by formulating the perfect plan to take Batman down — and then personally break his back with a mighty “KRAKT!”

Read the full article here.

 

[Yojimbo]

Mr. Freeze movie debunked by Gunn.

 

[Frontier]

Mr. Freeze movie debunked by Gunn.

That always seemed like a stretch .

 

[RoyalRubble]

Minor but comments from Todd Phillips about moving on after the Joker sequel.

 

[TheGuy]

That always seemed like a stretch .

He could eventually make it happen tho

 

[Otaku-sempai]

He could eventually make it happen tho

Well, Mr. Freeze worked in Gotham Central. I could see him being utilized.

 

[Yojimbo]

It is rumored Star Sapphire will be cast soon.

 

[Frontier]

It is rumored Star Sapphire will be cast soon.

I was worried we wouldn't get Carol at all !

At least I hope it's Carol and not just a generic Star Sapphire .
