DC Movies on Hold


According to Screen Rant, "In an IESB interview for 'The Unborn,' director/writer David Goyer says all DC properties are currently on hold for the time being in regards to film development."

When asked about "Supermax" [a kind of "Green Arrow" movie] and "Justice League," Goyer had this to say.

“A lot of the DC movies at Warner Brothers are all on hold while they figure out, they’re going to come up with some new plan, methodology, things like that so everything has just been pressed pause at the moment.”

Screen Rant continued and said, "Including the two movies mentioned, 'Superman' and 'Green Lantern' would also be on hold. With an across the board freeze, Warner Bros. may be looking to create a cohesive DC Universe."

Goyer was also asked if the success of "The Dark Knight" attributed to this freeze.

“It was the double header of both ‘Iron Man’ and ‘The Dark Knight’ coming out, so more than ever I think they’ve realized, I think DC was responsible for 15% of Warner Brother’s revenue this year, something crazy like that, so they realized that comic books, it’s become a new genre, one of the most successful genres.”

What are your thoughts on this freeze? Do you think it might be that WB will try to connect the heroes the way Marvel is?
More news to come! Catch ya' later!

I don't know if this is the "be all end all" in answer to your query, but I wrote about this one a while back... and here's what I came up with.

I guess DC and WB will wind up having heroes in their own movies and then having a team-up.
They are just plotting things out I suppose.
