In as much as there's some truth to what THR reported, I think it's the end of the road for the DCEU.
The reactionary approach would hurt whatever they are building in the future. What happens if the upcoming reboot tanks and doesn't make them the money?
A third reboot in the middle of same continuity? How about just finish the current continuity of stories before bringing in another narrative?
You just brought back an actor only to tell him sorry, we don't need you any more.
Soon serious actors will be reluctant over working on franchise project with WB let alone sign contracts for it.
It's like being hired for a passion project and then halfway through told to drop off.
Mhen, I am so done with franchise stories especially those with WB. That's how they ruined fantastic beasts by being reactionary with Johnny Depp saga and it backfired heavily.
I don't know how many times they have rebooted the DCEU so far.
These days I no longer care about these movies, I hardly know when it releases, if I see them online I download them.
You build people's excitement only to dash their dreams.
Cavill was really excited to be back.

What did you expect from James Gunn who killed off 90% of David Ayer's Suicide Squad cast just to build his own team. Expect the same "Suicide Squad" treatment for existing DC characters going forward. The way I see it, He's trying to build his own legacy in a lazy way.

To me, WB's mistake is not allowing Zack Snyder to finish the story he started then rebooting everything afterwards with a new cast in the flash film.
That way some people will have the closure they deserve and know what comes next not this leaving things hanging and confusing the narrative. Wetin concern me sef? Na their franchise and money.

The funny thing is, people still think he's a genius when he has nothing to show that he's truly one.
Put down his resume you won't find anything outside some media house claiming he made a raccoon talk and look believable..lmao! The Chronicles of Narnia (part 1) and many other good movies that have done so will be looking at those quarters and laughing seriously hard since those ITK (I too know) groups made it a big deal...

Screenplay is a totally different ballgame. Not everything in comics will translate to a great adaptation in theatricals. That's why there's some changes.

Lol, funny how some of you get hypocritical when your favourite projects gets turned down. grin grin

I thought it's the same you that said "Zaslav's decision to cancel Batgirl doesn't affect the studio in any way. That top creatives will still come, it wAS beLOW PAR". Now the tables have turned, now you're on a path of reason.
Ppl funny for here I swear.

Nevertheless, I don't think Cavill's matter is decided yet. They're still planning and looking how it will work out. Prolly also looking at his age, future stories and how to close the chapter.

Brother, I don't think you actually read my post. Note the key word, "a continuity established"
Batgirl was still part of the continuity problem. Batfleck's story isn't closed they're bringing in a franchise from 30 years ago that has already been closed to ditch what is already in motion.
If Batgirl was the continuation of Ben Affleck's story it wouldn't have been a problem but instead it is a Michael Keaton story, like WTF?
Please read my post again. I am not being hypocritical. If the DCEU was built on Michael Keaton then I wouldn't be happy if all of a sudden his story wasn't completed and you bring in another narrative.

It's very simple to conclude the current story. There's a HBO Max platform, complete Ben Affleck's story with a HBO Max 6 episodes story, likewise with Henry Cavill seeing as the audience hasn't really gotten around them. Then finish the whole thing with a Justice league knightmare storyline then reboot everything with a Flash film but this time with a different cast.
You have completed the established continuity. The other films can be written into the new continuity.

Said horse has spoken that there's a truth in some of the story by THR. It's like a I don't want to say yes or no yet but there's a chance it's true.

That horse said some are true. That same horse said some are not true while some haven't been decided. Why didn't you consider that also? Or you just want to believe what you want to believe.

Now, for some of those that are true, which of the reports by the media falls under that category? No one knows.
Currently, do you know which of the reports are true or false?

So instead of just running with a narrative that isn't certain, why don't you wait for details from Gunn and Safran by next week or so.

How do you know which are true? That some of the reports are true calls for discussion. And that at this stage nothing is decided is worrying alone.
You have audiences from way back 2013, and you are telling them nothing is decided doesn't spark confidence.

Baba,na their story Sha, they can do what they want with it. I have a choice though.

Question is, why will the rebooted DCEU tank? It won't. Yes, it might have issues at its beginning, which is synonymous with changes, but if the studio pushes forward with completing their proposed story arc, the franchise will be successful.
A franchise is successful if it is cohesive and progressive, and a cohesive and progressive DCEU is what the current management are committed to. This commitment is seen in their

* Proposed ten year DCEU plan
* Proposed cohesion across films, animations, games and comics
* Independency or semi independency of DC Studios
* Zaslav obsession with the DC property
* Film intellectuals --- Gunn and Safran --- heading DC Studios

With this, I can guarantee you that a cohesive and progressive DCEU is underway, and if that's the case, the rebooted DCEU will be successful.

Yes, it might have issues at its beginning, but if its story arc is completed, the success will be realized.

A third reboot in the middle of same continuity? How about just finish the current continuity of stories before bringing in another narrative?

Cavill was really excited to be back.

First of all, no reboot has happened in the DCEU, so there's nothing like a third reboot. If you want to argue, specifically show me where, when and how they rebooted the DCEU.

No reboot has happened, we are currently in the Zack continuity. The proposed reboot is meant to take place with the Flash movie, and the Flash movie hasn't been released yet. So where and how did the reboot happen?

Batgirl and Keaton's Batman were meant to be in the rebooted DCEU i.e set after The Flash, but unfortunately, the new management changed the plan.
NOTE: the Keaton's era hasn't happened yet, it was meant to happen after the Flash. It was a future reboot plan which was later cancelled by the new management.

So no reboot has happened. We are currently in Zack's continuity, but going with the new management activities, the reboot will happen with The Flash movie but with a new plan.


Secondly, there's nothing wrong in a studio rebooting a franchise with an incomplete story arc once. Emphasis on "once". But there's a problem with such reboot multiple times.

WB/DC are rebooting the DCEU with its incomplete story arc once, so there's nothing wrong with what they are doing. If they do such multiple times, then there's problem, because it's senseless and stupid.

It is rational to complete a story arc in a franchise before rebooting, and it is also rational to reboot a franchise with an incomplete story arc once. It's not a case of right or wrong, rather it's a case of what the studio wants. WB/DC chose the latter, and they aren't doing anything wrong or irrational.

Thirdly, the news about Henry Cavil hasn't been clarified by the Gunn and Safran. So I wonder why someone will believe what the media is saying. Gunn himself has said some are true while some are false. So now the question is, do you know if this info is true or not? You can't tell.

So if you can't tell, why not wait for updates from Gunn and Safran themselves before running with narratives.

DC fans are easily decieved cos they are unnecessarily emotional and they never learn.

@bolded
How can you discuss or argue over what is uncertain, is that not ridiculous? And the thing is, you are not only debating, you are running with a narrative as if it's the fact.

Thank God you said you have a choice. A choice to stick with what is true or stick with what you want to believe.
Rationality demands you wait for Gunn and Safran to make their announcement next week, and your believe is not going to overwrite that fact.

As for "nothing is decided" issue, didn't Gunn say they will be releasing their plans to Zaslav and the public next week? So what's the noise about them not being decisive.
You either wait for next week to know their plans or you forget about it. You are not going to force them to do it now.

I like the way the Gunn/ Safran execs is carrying the fandom along with infos unlike the Jason/Ann/Hamada execs. If the Jason/Ann/Hamada execs had done what the current execs are doing, lots of problems like the restore the snyderverse, and the Grace Randolph misinformation etc would have been averted, but no they chose to keep quiet about it, a foolish act on their part though undecided.

Rightly said bro.
Some fans just have a set belief they want to follow. They already have a perception of the new regime even without actually seeing any real decision making yet from the new CEOs.

Next week will be very important.
I'm hoping by latest January we should have a release slate or an announcement of upcoming projects.

Even Dwayne Johnson had to beg to sway the previous regime to do Black Adam and start looking at other captivating characters asides from the Big 3.
I'm confident in the new CEOs and happy it's two people well versed in the game and not only on one person's hands. They can easily counterbalance each other especially as they've worked with each other before and move along.
If it's a total reboot in the foreseeable future, I'm not so opposed to it. It is needed whether we like it or not cos the numerous fragmentation in the DCU makes it almost impossible for a franchise to be successful. That's why I'm still appreciative of Zaslav canning ARROWVERSE projects and trying to converge almost all the stories.

One might think ARROWVERSE has no fans but the last two weeks I've spent online made me know they still have significant amount of ppl that watch them and also clamour for their fave characters and actors.

A total reboot would have been better at this point but box office and general audience perception
will take a hit especially for the first 5 films. But a promise of a reward lies in the future.
Anyways, it's obvious some stories have to make way for others. How it's decided is the big question.

More cons for a reboot.
•The fanbase will still be very much divided.
•The new storyline will take years to payoff.
•There no guarantee that it will be a success.
•What happens when WBD is under new management in a few years and doesn't like the direction which DC is going?

The real problem with DC movies is that whenever a new management takes over, they want to rubberstamp their own selfish 'creative' ideas. This is why these movies have been stagnant since 2016 or so.
