got excited when i saw "on CW"

got un-excited when i saw "WB's upcoming films"

what universe is this?

 

[Grizzlyjin]

New Suicide Squad trailer? I'm in. Plus getting additional information on Wonder Woman will be nice, if it truly is new.

 

[BKatastrophe]

This could be very cool, or very shitty. I see no grey area here.

 

[Magwik]

So that would make 4 days of Superhero stuff on the CW that week. Sounds good.

It's just a half hour special of the upcoming movies

 

[Stealthy Giant]

Poor Affleck slumming it.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Should be good!

 

[jon bones]

i know, and i won't watch it (for fear of spoilers) but i'd rather it was just more DC-CW tbh

the sneak peak at Wonder Woman could be cool, though

 

[strafer]

Sneak Peek at Wonder Woman...

if you know what I mean.

 

[Joni]

Cool. Finally using that CW connection better. Too bad we can't get a suicide Squad show because of the movie.

 

[Ahasverus]

More excited for WW. Count me in!

 

[Grizzlyjin]

These things rarely have anymore spoilers than a trailer. They usually act all coy and tight lipped about everything. It's your typical interview promo stuff, talk about how much you as an actor always loved whatever character blah blah blah. They're not giving away anything important on Batman vs Superman here.

 

[fallengorn]

Airing at the same time as Agent Carter? Booo-urns.

 

[Veelk]

I can't believe I'm actually looking forward to this. I am way too excited for movies that will probably end up sucking

 

[jon bones]

i'm still salty about Arrow S3 being stripped of the Suicide Squad bc of the movie... i'm emotionally preparing for The Flash S5 featuring no one

i don't even watch trailers or commercials for most movies i'm anticipating... it's a problem, i know

 

[Lord Virgin]

Sneak Peek at Wonder Woman...

if you know what I mean.

 

[N7Commander95]

The rumoured Suicide Squad trailer sounds incredible. Can't wait

 

[Penguin]

Holy wow

1)This is brilliant. Finally using something from that Disney/Marvel/ABC playbook.

2)Oh man not like I need another reason to tune into the CW, but so there!

3) Wonder Woman and Suicide Squad!

 

[BKatastrophe]

I can't believe I'm actually looking forward to this. I am way too excited for movies that will probably end up sucking

Well aren't you just a negative nelly

 

[strafer]

 

[Tabby]

But that's so far away. What am I going to do until then?

 

[Combat Wombat]

Wow it's gonna be a packed night.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Nice. Wonder what they'll show from the WW movie. It's still shooting, right?

 

[ryan299]

Nice. Wonder what they'll show from the WW movie. It's still shooting, right?

Yeah. They've been filming the WW1 sequence from what I've seen of leaks. Most likely is going to just be them talking about it.

 

[A.D. Skinner]

Going to be amazing!

No doubt the BvS trailer will be better cut (not on about plot).

 

[Penguin]

Er hmm...

A little confused... since says it's 2 hours, but nothing has said that The Flash has been delayed and night it's expected to return

So is it The Flash then 2 30-minute specials?

 

[The Outsider]

Er hmm...

Yes.

 

[Joni]

They should try and show Wonder Woman fighting for a couple of seconds.

 

[a916]

They should try and show Wonder Woman fighting for a couple of seconds.

Nah, save it for the movie...

New SS trailer, yes! (bit early for me, the movie is out 7 months later)

 

[Lord Virgin]

They should try and show Wonder Woman fighting for a couple of seconds.

I want this.

 

[strafer]

They should show the Ezra Flash Suit...Me thinks

 

[Tabby]

Nah, save it for the movie...

New SS trailer, yes! (bit early for me, the movie is out 7 months later)

CC Trailer for BvS was 8 months out wasn't it? Sounds about right

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Man, Gal Gadot is so beautiful!

Should be a solid night of showings right?

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Will the special be on youtube afterwards?

 

[Veelk]

Well aren't you just a negative nelly

More like realistic rick. It's good I am excited, but...well, it's DC.

 

[Tabby]

I'm from UK. Consider you all lucky.

 

[Loxley]

More like realistic rick. It's good I am excited, but...well, it's DC.

Unless you genuinely believe there's some sort of literal curse on DC films that prevents them from being good, there's no reason to think that literally every single one of their films is just doomed to suck.

 

[Sou Da]

CW becoming the DC/vertigo channel.

 

[Windam]

 

[Error]

So is the WW footage is from her movie or from BvS? The wording in that press release is not clear.

 

[BKatastrophe]

I want this.

We all do

More like realistic rick. It's good I am excited, but...well, it's DC.

Oh quit being such a bob bummer

 

[Joni]

Nah, save it for the movie...

It could convince people who don't see her as a fighter.

He is negative about all their existing output, so it is amazing he looks forward to anything by them.

 

[abundant]

CW becoming the DC/vertigo channel.

Not surprised. Arrow and The Flash (and more than likely Legends of Tomorrow) are the only shows this season that are bringing in near a 1.0 (Arrow) or above 1.0 (The Flash) every new episode.

I know realistically they probably can't take on another DC show, but I wonder what will happen if/when Legends proves to be just as successful as Arrow/Flash.

 

[Penguin]

CW becoming the DC/vertigo channel.

Might as well be

Bet this special does better numbers than most of their new shows that week.

So is the WW footage is from her movie or from BvS? The wording in that press release is not clear.

I'd imagine we won't get actual footage, but could see some BTS stuff since would have been filming for like 2 months or so.

 

[broncobuster]

To my knowledge, Wonder Woman only recently began filming. I suspect it's BvS or an on set look at her film.

 

[jon bones]

CW becoming the DC/vertigo channel.

we should so lucky... at least someone out there is doing live action DC well

 

[Future Foundation]

I want this.

I hope someone, be it Snyder or Jenkins, apes this scene. Just completely steals it and puts in a Wondy fight scene.

 

[Joni]

Not surprised. Arrow and The Flash (and more than likely Legends of Tomorrow) are the only shows this season that are bringing in near a 1.0 (Arrow) or above 1.0 (The Flash) every new episode.

Just move Supergirl and get the Constantine team back together. And get Blackbirds out of development hell.

 

[Effect]

So that would make 4 days of Superhero stuff on the CW that week. Sounds good.


It's just a half hour special of the upcoming movies

One hour. There are two specials airing. The first is about Legends of Tomorrow and that's a full hour or 45/48 minutes once you cut the commercials out I believe. The second hour the same night is the "Dawn of the Justice League" special with interviews from Zack Snyder and Patty Jenkins. So that likely means footage from the Wonder Woman film as well as BvS footage. Also interviews with Henry Cavil, Gal Gadot, and Ben Affleck as well.

They didn't say who was the host or narrator for these though.

This is airing on Tuesday, Jan. 19 2016 at 8pm EST. I think that should be added to the opening post or the title if possible.

Edit:

Stand corrected. Looks like TheWrap gives the wrong impression of how long each will be. The Flash returns that night. The original link in the thread made it seem like each special would be an hour to result in a two hour special.

 

[Tabby]

Now that's a name I haven't heard in ages. At this point it's best to pretend it's cancelled to be honest. There's been no news in months.

Isn't it Kevin Smith?
