Last night, news surfaced that Warner Bros. had reportedly placed exec Jon Berg and DC Entertainment CCO Geoff Johns in charge of the DC Films division. Johns addressed the report and the DC universe during a meeting with Vulture, where he made it clear that he believes the brand needs hope and optimism.

Though he didn't directly confirm the earlier report, he said that "you can connect the dots." Nevertheless, he did discuss the future of the DC brand, which he believes needs more "hope and optimism."

>"There's a lot of emotional underpinning of the characters and the stories," he shared. "It's not that people take it for granted. They’re just not as aware of it. But when it's not there, you really feel that emptiness.”

>"I think people make a mistake when they say, 'Superman's not relatable because he's so powerful,'' he added. "I'm like, 'Are you kidding me? He's a farmboy from Kansas who moves to the city and just wants to do the best he can with what he's got.' That's the most relatable character in the world."

The alleged creative shuffle at DC Films comes after the lukewarm reception of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," which may have resulted in the appointing of Ben Affleck as a producer on "Justice League" and the firing of director Seth Grahame-Smith from "The Flash" film. Additionally, some reshoots were done on "Suicide Squad" to "smooth out the third act."

"Suicide Squad," the next installment in the DC Cinematic Universe, hits theaters on August 5.

I guess DC retards can't accept that maybe people just don't care about Superman.

I love this meme because it demonstrates exactly why he's relatable, if people reject to accept him despite his intentions and because of his differences then he is precisely what a lot of people feel when they strive to make others proud only to make most envious or filled with shallow hate.

Not really.
Batman fights crime because his parents's death left him scarred.
Spider-man does it mostly because he feels guilty over uncle Ben.
Cap because 1930s patriotism.
WW because of her culture's philosophy.

Almost every major Superhero does what they do because of some emotional or ideological reason, Superman just helps people because he can. There's no "mission" there, no big statement, no character struggle, he's just a nice guy who happens to be able to fly and shoot eye lasers.

Well there is struggle in the means of helping, but not in the decision whether to do it or not

>>82903076
"does the best he do with what he has" has nothing to do with why they do it

Hal Jordan, Barry/Wally, MM, Captain Marvel etc. they still try their best with the abilities they have because they want to help people.

It's a good time to make the change as well, the return of Superman will be a good switching point.
>>
>>82903076
Superman helps people because he feels like he has to because of the power he has. If he doesn't help people he would feel responsible because he has the power to help. Though part of him wishes he was a normal person which is why he clings to tightly to things like a secret identity and a normal job and life. He has his character struggles.

it was very much a statement of motivation and divorcing it from that context like you're trying to do doesn't make sense

Who cares? The DCEU is unsalvageable. Hope is dead. There wont be a good Superman film in my lifetime.

Fuck WB. They're not getting my money. Fool me twice, shame on me.
>>
>>82903076
I wouldn't even say that I associate Superman with fighting crime. He's more about saving the weak than punishing the guilty.
Batman is a cop. Wonder Woman is a diplomat. Superman is more like a fire fighter or an EMT.
>>
Save us cereal god
>>
>>82903148
You're right, I've read too much into your post. Sorry.

But I still think that's what John's meant, the whole no motivation thing is what sets supes apart and arguably makes him more relatable.
>>
>>82903196
>he return of Superman will be a good switching point.
Why?
I have yet to hear an explanation or theory as to how returning from the dead will cause people to treat Clark like less of a god and cause him to embrace his humanity more than his innate otherness.

It would've worked better the other way around; Clark being a human everyman, dying and coming back and him going "nobody else gets to come back. what does that make me" and having a crisis of faith there.
>>
>>82902815
Those problems you just put in a bottle.
>>
You needed to start with hope and optimism in the beginning to get the audience to buy in and root for the character. Then after that you can break it down and go darker because you already won them over, but for some reason Synder doesn't understand this.
>>
>>82903305
I mean it's good from a timing standpoint, rather than a narrative one.

I hope and am optimistic that they'll just nuke the current universe and start over.

>Superman helps people because he feels like he has to because of the power he has.
If that were really true he'd ditch the glasses and be Superman 24/7. But he doesn't, he still defines himself as Clark Kent first and helps people because he simply can.

The creation of DC Films means to me that Justice League will be the last of Snyder's directorial involvement. They'll meet whatever contract clause they have left with him and his wife and just let them go as early as they can.

Man, I really want Johns to be the guy for the DCEU movies. I hope he can pull it off. I'm not even a giant fan of his (all I ever read from him was Forever Evil), but at least he understands how stories work, which is more than I can say about Snyder, and he's actually passionate about these characters. The fact that he was involved with the Green Lantern movie gives me pause, but I root for him.

I don't see why Suicide Squad needs to be R rated

Also from the same article: Johns stepping away from writing duties.

>That said, he’s currently taking a break from writing comics for a while. He penned a status-quo-altering one-shot issue called DC Universe: Rebirth, which comes out in a week and was the topic of conversation at today’s journalist gathering — but after that his hands will be too full. Whatever he does next, it’ll be rooted in a belief that DC needs to understand the deep-seated warmth and love that people feel toward its pantheon. “There’s a lot of emotional underpinning of the characters and the stories," he said. "It's not that people take it for granted. They’re just not as aware of it. But when it’s not there, you really feel that emptiness.”

It's too late, WB is betting heavily on the DCEU and they established that Snyder is the master mind behind it, if they fire him now their stock will plummet.
All they can do is wait untill they have a couple more properties going (inside and outside the DCU) and then give him a minor role.
>>
>>82903543
The only argument that I can muster for this is that it's a movie about villains, scum of the earth, the shouldn't be setting any kind of example, I would expect foul language and excessive violence from them as soon as they are let off their leashes.

I don't fully agree with the R rating, but it would make more sense for something like Suicide Squad or Wolverine ro get an R rating instead of Batman vs Superman or Spider-Man.

>>82903803
Geoff had a long run writing Wally's book and has called him his favorite character before, even moreso than GL.

He was talked into getting on board the "bring Barry back" train by an artist he works with a lot, Ethan Van Sciver, and when he did it, he thought it would lead to a Flash Family with all of them alive, not a reboot where Barry was the only one left.

I don't think that's true though. His wife never produced anything besides his (not really succesful) movies or before marrying him, so there's no reason to believe she has much clout. There's no indication that she has the kind of power necessary to force WB into getting her husband to make movies with their most recognizable IPs.
More likely somebody at WB really liked Zack and allowed his wife to produce.

Yeah 300 is enjoyable dumb fun. I buy the idea that someone just made an honest mistake, but like... it was a big mistake, and one that a lot of people would not have made. They would have looked at his body of work as a whole, and considered whether style over substance was more or less appropriate for a DC superhero movie than a mythologized ancient battle between shirtless Greek men.

To my fellow Snyderfags,

Dont worry fám. Affleck is the guy on set sent to 'limit' Snyder. But Snyder is the one who originally brought on Affleck and the rest of these actors with his vision. They'll stand by him and Snyder will deliver the finale of the Superman trilogy before his power his dissolved to lesser minds like Johns.

You act like this is a commendable achievement.
Should we hold a "Hasn't raped Batman yet" Award and hand it out to him? A lot of writers would be competing for that.

We keep "spouting" it because his analysis of what people considered dark about Nolan's Batman and his suggestions as to how he would authenticate them are perplexingly simple minded nonsense, much like the movie he co-wrote and directed; Sucker Punch.

Hack Snyder is 100% proven garbage by his own quotes and work, I'm tired of this game of dancing around that fact. Before this hyper contrarian, ironic memery There used to be time where an idiot wasting people's time, money and properties was sacked and we moved on. When Schumacher fucked up once he was given one more chance, when he fucked up twice he was told to Fuck off Forever. End of story.
I will give him Phone Booth but that had too much potential for even him to screw up much like Snyder being handed the pre-built 300 and Watchmen and people confusing that for him being a visionary genius. Most of the people spouting that sort of idiocy haven't even read Miller and Moore's work. What a complete circle jerk.

See, I was under the impression that most retards say Millennial to mean "people younger than me" as I've quite literally seen people in their early 30s call people in their late 20s millennials, people in their late 20s calling people in their early 20s millennials, and people in their early 20s calling children and teenagers millennials.

Because people want a buzzword they can use to demean people based on age, blaming all of society's problems on the "next generation" even when the people making those complaints are usually part of said generation but refuse to admit it.

People in their late-30s and over not withstanding, but then their complaints about "millennials" tend to be the stupidest of all as if most of the shit the millennial generation has to deal with isn't almost entirely their fault for causing in the first place.

And then even all that aside, defining "generations" in 20 year chunks doesn't mean much when there's so much variance within a single generation, and anyone on the extremes of either generational block will always share significant similarities to the one that came before/after.

The way /pol/ uses cuck is not the classic cuckold, as in someone fucking your wife.

But a more broadened term for weak, pathetic, submissive or virtue-signalling sell-out.

There are cultural-cucks, corporate-cucks and actual cucks.

Watch the John Oliver migrant video for France which happened one month before the Paris Attacks to see what a virtue-signalling cultural cuck looks like.

There are faggots that just want Marvel to reign without rivals for whatever reason, idk. Seems like to me DC has the right ideas, and now they're free from WB's fuckery to enact them. As you said, CW was inspired by BvS. Disney isn't all that clever with their universe as much as they like people to think, but it'll probably be better if the Russos are involved now. Suicide Squad will probably inspire them to make a Masters of Evil movie with Zemo acting as the "Nick Fury" for every after credit Stinger. Now if they can follow suit with DC and start making some super heroine movies...

You're welcome.

Yo, I keep hearing people bringing up that Synder is a Randian/Objectivist but looking at his movies there doesn't seem to be much (if any) Randian shit in them; especially the virtue of selfishness.

Like in pretty much all his movies (barring Watchmen) the heroes sacrifice them to protect those weaker than them, which isn't something Ayn Rand would agree with at all.

I'm not saying he isn't an Objectivist, and if someone can link me to an article where he says he is, or explain how Objectivist ideologies make it into his movies I'm all ears. But currently I'm not seeing it.

Guys?
How will he fix Superman?

>. . .He's a farmboy from Kansas who moves to the city and just wants to do the best he can with what he's got.' That's the most relatable character in the world."
But DCEU's Superman had a shitty upbringing. I was cool with it in MoS when it was just Pa Kent being all "I dunno son, maybe dont save people. Earth cant handle it" then died because at least we had Ma Kent to keep his moral center. Then in BvS she goes all "you dont owe this world a thing" and "Do what you want", which fly in the face of most of the Kent interpretations. Superman is fucking Pillar of American integrity/humanity mostly because of his upbringing. But in the movies we dont get that.

After they resurrect the bullshit Snyder pulled how can they actually "fix" this superman? Hell Clark Kent is dead now too and they fucking killed Jimmy Olsen.

Except that's clearly not true since MoS did well despite being trash, and even BvsS had a VERY strong sales at the start before falling off a cliff.

Regardless of your delusions, people do care about Superman. People want Superman, more than ever now. But they also want a good movie to go with that, in which DC very much failed to deliver twice now.

It's like you are misunderstanding it on purpose. She's saying that he shouldn't help people just because he feels like he HAS to, but he should help people because he wants to and it's his choice. She's telling him he doesn't have any obligation.

>>
>>82912677
He can't. At best he can put a band=aid on it but like I've been asking for weeks now. How is Clark rising from the dead going to make him more attached to humanity? How is Clark literally pulling the divine act of resurrection going to lessen the "LET'S EVERYBODY TREAT HIM LIKE JESUS" shit?
>>
>>82912860
Holy shit. You're the one misunderstanding.

For Superman it IS an obligation and he was taught that way. If he has the power to help people he should do it whether most people like him or not.

And then they had people shit talking him and speculating about his intentions on CNN and stuff when Comics superman wouldn't have spent so much time brooding. He would have talked with Ma or Pa like once, then went on live TV to explain his case. He wouldn't have had to have been called to a hearing about his involvement when he did nothing wrong.

BvS ends with the main character sacrificing himself.

It's going to be a great year.
>>
>>82917537

This is kind of what I'm wondering.

I keep hearing about how Snyder's shit is Objectivist, but it really doesn't appear that way to me, and I haven't scene any reliable source saying he is.

Like there are people who enjoy The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged as novels without agreeing with Ayn Rand's half-baked philosophy; I don't know how people do that as her prose is fucking grotesque but you know some people dig it.

I've got a feeling Zack Snyder falls into the latter rather than former category.
>>
>>82917537

I think what the anon probably means is, Superman in these movies is the result of an Objectivist trying to represent genuine altruism, and failing.

It seems like as valid a theory as any for why, while Superman seems to, theorethically, go through the motions of being a hero, the whole movie seems to ring hollow and heavy and fake.

My personal theory is that Snyder just can't fucking direct anything that involves dialogue.
>>
>>82917550
And that is why DCEU Pa Kent is a terrible character. He didn't help Superman become who he is, he hindered him.
>>
>>82917571

Look:

>>82917130
It's too late to fire Zack but WB close the deal and leave Seth is also understandable, he has no experience and all movies that he write for is a massive flop. Also, if you gonna pull The Russos and Peyton then you should know that they have many great works under their belt long before Marvel hire them, they're a totally different case from Seth.

Well, dying might help put life into prespective, he might also have a talk with his dad's ghost like in the Return of Superman and that inspires him to be more human. Also, if his suit is ruined and they have to replace it with another one, of he wears aone that his mother made like in Superman For All Seasons and does a kind of soft adaptaion of that scene from FAS were he same a kid from the roof but in the movie the kid is Billy Batson, this would win a lot of points in my book

They'll have to reboot after JL: Part One comes out and bombs. I'm all for it, as Batman v Superman went above and beyond both Man of Steel and Green Lantern in its noxiousness.

MoS and GL both were bad movies (I'd say MoS is worse), but the universes they each established were salvageable. If, instead of Beavis-Dodge we got a direct sequel to MoS that treated the canon properly and was a much better movie (like Empire Strikes Back versus Attack of the Clones), we'd now have something to go off. But Beavis-Dodge has actually messed up these cinematic versions of the characters that it's poisoned the DCEU before it's begun.

What I want to see after the JL's quest for the Marthaboxes ends Zack Snyder's involvement with DC comics movies is George Miller (or hell, Brad Bird or even Steven Spielberg) directing a Geoff Johns script for a Superman reboot.

So nothing changed. I guess I should be glad they aren't trying to make the comics like BvS.

Millineals are a meme made up by consultants to sell afterwork to desperate out of touch companies.

They are about as real as rainbow parties.

>"I'm like, 'Are you kidding me? He's a farmboy from Kansas who moves to the city and just wants to do the best he can with what he's got.' That's the most relatable character in the world."
That's not relatable. When I face a problem I have to work hard for it. When Superman face a problem he can just Superman his way through. Like that's stupid as fuck. Are just going to tell me that the guy besides you that got all the nice award because he is either smart or athletic is relatable? If Superman don't even use his powers he is really undermining humans. FUCK YOU SUPERMAN. You know what you need to do Superman. Just be a hero. Nothing more. You don't need a life besides that.

If you keep the same writers it won't make a difference. Also i don't want a fucking generic "house style" like marvel. God forbid comic book movies not look like high budget tv shows.
