  A lot of movies are partly reshot. I don t see the big deal.

  This is correct. But enough to remake a film twice, on top of more reshoots they've yet to do? Doesn't inspire any sort of confidence for a universe that has delivered duds so far.

  The reshoots on this are extensive and extraordinary. Hopefully it'll pay off, it needs to.

  It's all pretty amusing any sentence that has DCU in it is news, I suppose DC and Warner will be happy in one respect they are constantly being talked about even if most of its negative.

  Maybe it's the Henry Allen scenes that are being reshoot in Justice League based on this Flash departure?

  Christ, when are they just going to put a fork in this Flash movie? It's tragically ironic that such a film has been so slow to get off the ground...

  Social media does not help back in the day a film got made and the public went to see it none the wiser of production issues etc, the material is there for any DC property WB must be really playing hard ball with regards to there expectations being fulfilled by film makers and writers.

  I wish it was still that way, especially when it comes to Bond productions.
  
  I don't think this is a case of WB playing hard ball and the creative people not being able to match them. I just think these writers and actors aren't liking what they are seeing and don't find good partners in WB and DC, leaving them to exit the Flash project. We're on what, the third director for this film now? That says a lot.

  @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 I have tried not to think about Bond until a new film is green lit so I am ignoring Bond in a way, I learnt from post LTK waiting for news is futile.
  
  Some great DC stories to adapt...
  
  
  
  Apparently the Cudrup leaving Flash is B.S. That moment when you realise one has to step back out of the fake news mire..

  Ya think? I think it should be obvious by now that majority of the "news" regarding the DCEU is BS.
  
  I don't really have a problem with rumors in general, but I do take issue with the way the media reports them and the way we all react to them. Everyone flails their arms and cries "the sky is falling" all because some faceless nobody heard from someone that heard from someone else that blah blah blah.

  Last few weeks they have upped there WW push though previous to that things were quiet, now there seems an overload of TV spots which I have been trying to avoid.

  Seems a "social media embargo" for Wonder Woman lifts at 7pm PST.

  If WW reactions are going to be posted, I think I'm going to leave the thread until I see the film. I hate play by plays from critics.

  I was interested in general consensus though initial thoughts often are the same for most films.

  I can understand that neutral is often the best way when viewing a film, then expectations are middle ground.

  Yes! This is just how I would like a new Superman or Justice League film to look. No need to fear vibrant colors. I'm more excited for Wonder Woman than I have been for any DC film in a long time. Not too much longer now.

  @Some_Kind_Of_Hero I agree the muted colours need to go, with today's technology Warner could easily alter the colouring on BvS and MoS if they were inclined too. DC Warner appear to have learnt there lesson with WW, of course Bats should be dark as always.
• Some_Kind_Of_Hero

  May 2017 Posts: 6,844

  Yes, Bats is the exception. Unless some future imagining riffs off the campy Adam West take of the '60s, Batman dwells in his own dark world. There's just no contrast though if Supes dwells there too.

  I hope they give out some IMAX posters on Wonder Woman's opening night. I've been collecting and framing many of them over the years and I'm looking for any excuse to hang a picture of Gal Gadot on my wall.
