I'm sure there is some contract somewhere that prohibits it but if you're going to have a universe, have a universe. And I like the CW character. I think he would fly on the big screen. |

Personally, I think the entire DCU has been an epic disaster from the start, with no plan of action. They've tried to emulate Marvel's success but instead of doing it slowly, with individual films that eventually culminate into the Justice League, they tried to do it with a bang and force the audience into caring for characters, despite the story. Obviously, it's not working. Also, I have no idea is the WW film will work at the end of the day, as they're still editing. But hiring a female director, just because WW is a female lead character, was one of the dumbest moves any studio could make. This isn't a slight on Patty Jenkins (at least until I see the film) but I find it hard to believe that she was the most qualified person to direct WW. Warner Brothers handling of the DCU has been atrocious and every time they try to "fix" it, it gets worse. |

I think the DC Universe would have been in great hands with Nolan.

BTW, have you seen the IMAX trailer for Dunkirk? I saw it before Rogue One. Holy ****ing shit! It was absolutely insane. I've never seen or heard anything like it on a movie screen (or in real life). |

I haven't seen the IMAX trailer, no. I did create a thread for it here though. I'll be watching that movie for sure. |

I assume that they chose to take the DCU into dark and gritty territory because they didn't want to be accused of copying Marvel's success with their franchises on the big screen. But man, it just isn't playing out well for them, in spite of the success Nolan had with his version of Batman.
Pestilence is right, if they wanted to keep on that path, they should have docked a cargo ship full of money at Nolan's beachside home and gave him free reign to shape the DCU. |

(And yeah, Dunkirk looks like it's going to be the "HOLY SHIT" movie of the summer)

Gina would have been my first thought as well. Dunno about her ability to actually act the part as opposed to just looking it. |

I love what he did in Argo but I have difficulty buying him as Batman. |

If Arnie could pull that off, Gina could certainly pull off Wonder Woman. |
