    The DC animated verse is generally of a high quality. Under The Red Hood is also worth a watch given were they seem to be going in the movie universe. Wasn't gone on the voice actor for the Red Hood though.

    The guy who does the voice of Bender in Futurama is the voice of the Joker and does a decent job, you're never going to match Hamill though obviously within the animated sphere.

    Quite a few of them still have Conroy and Hamill in them, though I can't remember which exactly.

    I can't watch the ones that don't have Conroy. Well I do watch them, buts I really feel as if its not Batman in it.

    That most recent one Batman V Robin, Conroy voiced Thomas Wayne in a flashback. As soon as he spoke, the film was ruined for me, that was Batman not that other guy with the weird generic voice.

    Happy reading this bit, as it'll probably hopefully mean no Snyder involvement
    Producing and developing with Robbie will be her LuckyChap colleagues Tom Ackerley, Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr.

    Would much prefer a Harley Quinn origin story (with Joker). too many characters just muddies the waters & I think a 15 rated origin for her would have been spectacular

    Personal I had no interest in it in SS and found her relationship with joker (especially that joker) completely detracted from the character for me.

    I get the feeling this movie has slim chances of ever happening, all depending on the reception of their next couple releasing.

    I think Robbie played Harley quite well, she was just given absolutely awful dialogue for all of SS, and would be interested in more of her as long as it's not more of her relationship with the Joker.

    SUICIDE SQUAD Sequel Being Developed Alongside A DEADSHOT Solo Movie

    https://www.comicbookmovie.com/suicide_squad/suicide-squad-sequel-being-developed-alongside-a-deadshot-solo-a147500

    Surprised at the deadshot solo film. I thought Smith was good in suicide squad but not needs his own film good.

    Man, DC are really running with this whole "giving villians/anti-heroes their own movies and turning them into heroes" idea.

    Suicide Squad, Suicide Squad 2, Deadshot, Gotham City Sirens...

    They have such a wealth of other great characters. Why the hell are they focusing on some of these? Where's Green Arrow? Booster Gold? Martian Manhunter?

    Unfortunately I think the only thing they're focusing on is Will Smith and Margot Robbie to get bums on seats.

    TV

    Flash, Superman and Batman have also been appearing on TV, but for DC's cinematic universe, they could pick much better characters to give movies to than Deadshot.

    Also, didn't know there were talks about a Booster Gold film. At least that's a bit of a step in a better direction.

    Yeah but look what happened to Deadshot and Amanda Waller in Arrow, killed off to facilitate the film versions

    Also the suicide squad, in Arrowverse, was also scrapped, along with the teased Harley.

    They couldn't have Justice League without Flash and his show is too popular, so they flexed there.
    You can, however, have JL with Batman, WW, Superman, Flash, and Aquaman. You don't need to sacrifice Jon from the TV shows

    They don't need to sacrifice them at all. If they're going to keep the TV and film universes separate, they can use the same characters in both. They don't have to kill them off to facilitate the film versions.

    I agree wholeheartedly but that is the reason given for Deadshot, Waller, Harley and Squad.

    Geoff Johns seems to be far more relaxed with regards tv and movies having the same characters. The suicide squad and deadshot kill offs in the show came under a different regime. Superman has been added to the Supergirl show, for example, and there is talk of him being the fifth show in the cw lineup, which is to be announced soon.

    Booster Gold movie would be obscure to say the least, character might turn up in one of the tv shows next season.

    Affleck no longer directing 'The Batman'

    A lot of hyperbolic statements are made in this thread and other threads relating to DC films when any news comes out but this stings.

    I think this is by far the biggest misstep yet. Almost everyone was happy with a Ben Affleck directed Batman film but they can't seem to see that value.

    I'm very concerned about how they couldn't agree on the script.

    The line about Affleck wanting more time to get the script to the level he wants it and WB being more concerned about the release date is the most damning.
