At least King Arthur looks passable and the studio seems to have faith in it given its already getting a marketing push.
The other two... Yeah.

Didn't he know that Snyder was directing before signing on?

Well, some of Flash's most powerful (interesting?) enemies are speedsters.

He could have put in the Man of Steel BluRay.

I liked Man of Steel. I'm part of the problem.Well it's the best of the bunch by a good margin thus far.

Man of Steel is fine on it own, it's the movies that followed it that are the problem. I don't think it was ever truly intended as the start of a shared universe, they just retconned it as such to justify BvS.

Dollars to donuts someone got him confused with Static.
King arthur should have been a demon knights movie it would have been so good
Or Steel

Here's an exclusive picture of the office at WB where an up-and-coming screenwriter is working on Cyborg:

If they did a Titans East movie I'd totally see that in theaters.
The previous stuff usually doesn't matter. Hollywood writers have to start somewhere. We really have no clue who this guy is and what he's capable of, what skills he possesses, so why should we talk about him?
I can absolutely see WB waiting until they see how Wonder Woman and Justice League perform before jumping into the other films on the slate but actions speak louder than words and having a writer like Joby Harold (expensive and liked by the studio) do a page one rewrite shows a willingness by the studio to make this work.
If Warners really saw this as a low priority project they could have handed this to some new writer fresh off the Blacklist but instead they gave it someone they've worked with before and who has actually gotten scripts greenlit at the studio.
Are you seriously surprised that a thread on GAF about anything related to film is full of people that have no idea what the fuck they are talking about?
So..., if there was a problem with the script they shouldn't try to fix it?
I liked Man of Steel too, despite its many problems. Unfortunately the DC movies have only gotten worse from there.

LMFAO "Cultural Fascism." I've seen butthurt fans before but that takes the cake.
MoS was bad but if WB had acknowledged its faults and made a sequel that corrects them it wouldn't have been so bad.
Instead, we got BvS...

They have yet to prove they're even capable of fixing their own problems.
It's...ok at best, has quite a bit of issues though.
So, according to you, if WB think they have a script that doesn't work they shouldn't try to fix/rewrite the script they should just leave it 'broken' because they are unable to fix their own problems?
Brilliant.
I never said they shouldn't fix it. I'm suggesting that there's a distinct lack of trust in their handling of their whole universe until they can otherwise prove that they've earned it.

It's no worse than most of the comic movies that have come from the mcu tbh. But it ain't great either. It's like a 5/10. Hella good villain and OST tho.
BvS was better. I have little faith in the DCEU as a whole but I am looking forward to what snyder has cooked up for justice league and how batman will be.

Same here. Best Dragonball Z movie I could have ever asked for...
...wait, that was suppose to be a Superman movie? The fuck?

I mean, there's still a good chance it'll be bad, but at least it's not live-action any more. (Unlike the Sonic movie, which I fully expect to be hot garbage if it ever actually happens)

I hope he has a human girlfriend in the sonic movie. The world needs to see how far down the rabbit hole the sonic community has gone
It was my understanding that the suit with the "wires" was a homemade suit that he makes himself and by the end of the Justice League film he has a 'proper' costume provided to him by Wayne Tech.
When Tracking Board first reported the news (IIRC) they said Sony were looking for a 'dark, gritty' take on the material.
That was years ago and I'm still utterly baffled by what that's supposed to mean.
MoS is about as good as the lowest of the MCU, Thor: The Dark World.

There are two ways to do a Sonic movie. Either like the LEGO Movie where it's mostly self-aware of the series' bad history, with Jaleel White voicing Sonic, obviously. Or full on nightmare Sonic fanbase Coldsteel territory with humans and all that trash.

Humanity deserves the second option and I'm sure Sony will oblige.

Funny that's what the rewrite should look like. REBOOT in giant red letters. Flash could do it just New 52 it.

Thor 2 the Dark World is forgettable and unoffensive.
MoS makes me despise my favorite hero.
I'll take the forgettable one, thank you very much.
If the rewrite to Flash doesn't result in a Flashpoint scenario then they've failed
EDIT: WHAT IF THE SNYDERVERSE IS THE FLASHPOINT UNIVERSE

Flash reboot? Flash reboot what? Things just got started and you'd have the same cast anyway.
Very smart.

Isn't the whole point of a 'Cinematic Universe' that you don't have to reboot you can just tweak and adjust as necessary? Like Marvel did with Ed Norton?
That said it makes me sad that we are hardlocked into some decisions like Bratz Luthor. Also Justice League is going to have to come up with a good reason why Batman was behaving like a murderous twat.

Excuse me, you mean Thor 2.

I thought DC's boy, Geoff, had this under control? He's the one peeps are hinging the success of this universe now on right?
It has been suggested to me that Warners bringing a writer like Joby Harold onboard to do a page one rewrite of The Flash could be because they intend to try and snag a name director and want to bring in a 'big' writer to do that.
Maybe getting a page one rewrite on The Flash is him getting it under control?

The only page-one rewrite I could stomach right now is opening with Grant Gustin running through the Speed-Force, into the DCEU, looking around and immediately realizing that somehow he fucked-up all of reality. Cue re-boot, throw out this trash film-universe.
The CW shows are budget-hindered to a shocking degree, and yet still have more heart, and comic-book spirit than any single moment in the awful films.

It's pretty wild how Johns and Berlanti outsid Snyder with a small fraction of the money.
The Flash can't call anything trash how this season looking.
