Upcoming DC Extended Universe (DCEU) Movies

No where is it suggested that it will get another theatrical run, and fans haven't pushed for that.

I was referring to whoever said it could make 200 million along with the 50 mill for marketing and finishing the film. That would imply a theatrical cut.
I have gone into why HBO Max doesn't make much sense as have other people. Especially given the limited reach of HBO Max and as for a home release. Physical home media is dying and realistically putting out another cut of a film that bombed to begin with doesn't make much financial sense.

There's also the point that what's filmed is now filmed. From what's been said there was still reshoots that needed to be done for Snyder's Cut too. Even that aside it's been suggested that they would need to pay actors royalties for a cut this radically different. A rough estimate I've read is that it would take at least 30-40 million to finish the Snyder Cut.

Again as for all the home release stuff, I don't see the benefit. I say that as someone who is sitting in a room surrounded by blu-rays. The longer they wait the less lucrative home media becomes and it's not exactly lucrative right now. It doesn't change the fact that this is an unknown quantity if it did get a release. This isn't an extended cut or a director's cut of a classic film where people know what they're buying. It's a possibly incomplete (even after theoretical VFX are done) rushed film that bombed, that general audiences are likely unsure even exists.

Factor in that the studio would in no way want to look like they released the inferior film and killed the good one. Especially now that they're starting to get things on the right path with the DC films. I'll just repeat what I've said, I don't see the sense in releasing this and I don't know how anyone being objective could see why they would.

That's some pretty epic music right there

Look at Netflix and The Cloverfield Paradox. Netflix spent an estimated 50m for it. It’s not all about hooking people in for a trial, It can simply be about acquiring something buzzy enough to get people’s interest. IMO, a snyder cut fits right into this category. If the deal is right, it can be a win/win for everyone.

Netflix have a massive userbase, far larger than HBO Max will have or could ever have. Cloverfield Paradox was a film that no one had seen and was exclusive to them. Justice League will still be the Justice League film just a different cut, it's not the same and most won't care. The other thing is that Cloverfield had the hype of no one knowing it was going up until it did so it had massive levels of interest after a freaking Superbowl ad. Most people already have Netflix, so it's as simple as finding it there. For HBO they'd have to shout about it a good bit in advance to get people to sign-up for a service more expensive than Netflix that will have less distribution than Netflix.

Remember as well for Cloverfield, it was already finished and ready to go, Paramount sold it to Netflix cause they knew it had no theatrical merit. It was win-win. WB would be putting their own money into the Snyder Cut trying to recoup on an investment they've already lost millions on.

Sure, some are suggesting this is all just marketing for HBO Max and maybe that's true but it is strange they've said they are not working on it and why advertise the service so far out from it's launch. The only logical thing I could think of would be that they want to try take the attention away from Disney + but even then a concrete annoucement or some impressive content would do that anyway. Not buying this.

Doesn't really work as a joke, seeing as Deadpool was initially a parody of Deathstroke

It was more a reference to Teen Titans Go! To The Movies.

Knew I should have gone with 'Slaaaaaaaaaaaaaade'.

The Rock is saying Black Adam will introduce the JSA.

Reading that JJ Abrams is getting ready to takeover Superman & Green Lantern and David Corenswet is being tipped to be his Clark Kent/Superman.

The Variety article posted last week mentioned that JJ had been approached. He's a Superman fan and previously wrote a script which was going to be directed by McG.

Well aware of that, I posted the article here. I know he wrote Superman Flyby. Again, I highlight the sources as I mentioned. Type in the actor's name, it's mainly CosmicBookNews and WeGotYouCovered, two of the most notorious clickbait comic book sites. Bad Robot have a deal with the WB, I would be shocked if there wasn't some DC talk at some point if not already.

The idea though that he has officially signed on for Superman though and even gone as far as to cast a lead actor for a film though is definitely raising the BS alarm. He only finished Star Wars in the last few weeks and is about to embark on the media push for it, I doubt Disney would be too happy with every question thrown his way being about Superman. I'm just saying, possible? Someday, yes. I would just be very skeptical of this story and especially the sources pushing it.

Trailer Tomorrow!
