Well, Disney are also working on this little thing called Star Wars every year or so...
I do think DC will continue past this first wave, as long as superhero films are making money and pulling in the crowds. Whether that'll be with new characters or whether we'll start seeing sequels (Batman sequels are a given), they may not have it all planned out but I don't think they're going away any time soon.
I must say I do prefer Darkseid to Thanos, but that could be because I've just seen more of him.

Well sure, but Marvel Studios isn't making the SW films. Marvel Studios exists within Disney only to make Marvel character films.
And TBH, I'm expecting some superhero movie exhaustion to hit in a few years time. When you look at the lineup across all three studios, it's really a lot. Too much, probably.

For the most part I have been hearing that for a few years. Lots of genres get popular for long periods, like Westerns in the past or action movies in the 80's, and I imagine that Superhero films aren't any different at the moment.

I think people might pick and choose what they see more but that they will still rake in the cash. I mean, just this year I'm iffy on Dr. Strange & BvS. Though I'll probably see all of them this year.
Next year on the other hand I'm iffy about WW, Wolverine 3, and Spidey.
And does Marvel really have 3 films slated for 2018 and 2019?

Isn't Gambit also this year or next? I can't say I'm hugely interested in it (after Wolverine 3 I think I'm just going to call it a day with the X-verse, 3 trilogies- Wolverine, original, prequel- that thus far don't have bad film among them as far as I'm concerned), just for the sake of completeness.

Yep. And three slots in 2020. To me it seems like doubling down at a time when fatigue could set in. But Marvel does a good job at keeping the budgets down for their films, so even if they aren't doing huge box office, they'll probably be profitable ventures.
I got a little chuckle out of "Captain Marvel" and "Shazam" being back to back, considering the history of those characters and their names.

The difference is that one should be awesome and the other will require a miracle to turn into something watchable! And yes, Shazam is the latter!
Of the entire schedule, the only ones I'm not keen on are Shazam (really don't like the character, I can't take him seriously), Spidey (I am a huge fan of the Garfield ones, I doubt this one will be as good), maybe The Inhumans (depends whether Agents of SHIELD keeps going down the Inhuman route for the next 3 years, I might be Inhumaned out by then), and the X-verse ones I mentioned before. Other than that, bring it on!

I hazard to guess that Shazam will be the lightest, most comedic fare offered by the DCEU.
So I did some minor sleuthing re: Wonder Woman. There's a shot in a recent trailer that shows her (as Diana Prince) on an airplane. If you look closely at the wall behind her, you can see that it's a Turkish Airlines plane. This is interesting because the Themyscira Plain in Turkey is where the mythical Amazons were supposed to have lived. The comic book writers borrowed the name to refer to the fictional Paradise Island.
So, I think it's probable that the Amazons in the DCEU are located in modern-day Turkey. That could be an island as in the comics, or it may simply be a city on the Themysicra Plain, as per the original myth.
And that could be the explanation for the WWI setting of the Wonder Woman film (as opposed to the character's traditional WWII association) -- it's the fighting on their doorstep during WWI (the Ottoman Empire being one of the Central Powers) that gets the Amazons interested in "man's world" once again.
The whole Wonder Woman story sounds really interesting - the Amazons/Scythans/ etc story has a lot of potential - look forward to seeing what they will do with it.....
Some great films coming out this year and some.....less so - now that I have seen the trailer for Deadpool I will try to avoid it..............all the rest look good though

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Simply fantastic! Can't wait for this now (well, I couldn't already, but y'know, even more so now!). This new Batman looks so much more brutal than any previous version, and I'm completely sold on Irons as Alfred after that first shot.
And that look on Supes' face when Bats blocks his swing at the end... yeah, he's rather irate...

True, he's a fantastic actor, I just wasn't sure he could pull off the slightly carefree, stiff-upper-lip nonchalance needed for Alfred as well as the darker and deeper stuff we know he can do. All doubts banished now, though!

Trailer looks great. That might be the best Batman fight sequence that we've seen on film to date, and we aren't even seeing all of it. Especially with the traditional-looking suit, it really looks like the Batman of the comics in action.
If you don't blink, you can see that shot of Batman overlooking the ruined city and firepits, with the symbol in the ground.
AduroT wrote: Nah, probably just the initial hit and he's holding back because he's not used to a human being that strong with the power armor.
As much as Kryptonite gloves/ring/suit is the standard, I'm more leaning towards Supes holding back, seeing as earlier in the trailer we see him fly a fully armoured Bats through a building, not something I imagine he could do in proximity to Kyrptonite. I still expect Kryptonite to factor in somewhere, but I doubt it'll be something he immediately uses, more a last resort (or used by Luthor).
Since they have mentioned that the suit is more a delaying tactic than something to allow him to take Supes mano-a-mano, I imagine it'll be similar to The Dark Knight Returns (as much as we're all sick of hearing that phrase used in connection to this film! ) where Bats doesn't need to beat him down, just hold him up long enough for a plan to kick in. Could be Kryptonite, could be someone else stepping in (pretty sure WW will be the one to bring their fight to an end in one way or another).
I promised I wasn't going to watch anymore trailers but... I just had to.
And yup, that one worked. - I'm super excited for the film now. I do think they went a tiny bit too brutal with Batman's last hit against the thugs though - faceplanting him so hard his head disappeared was a bit much....
IMO, the look on Cavill's face is more "what the feth is going on" than "hmm...tougher than expected." And there's a BvS LEGO kit that suggests an answer.

What is up with Lego and leaking spoilers? Am early Lego leak gave us the first look at the Indominus Rex from Jurassic World.
To the above about too many super hero movies......I honestly think we are gonna hit a bubble soon. the MCU has kinda gone down in quality barring netflix, with too much focusing on setting up final Avengers. Im gonna need to catch up on Agents of sheild and Daredevil and jessica jones to make sense of it. oh well, i got alot of painting to get done.

1) OK?
2) Thanks for waiting almost 3 weeks to add that!
Anyway...
...the new trailer looks great!
I was already really looking forward to this one, now, even more so!

I believe Lego also leaked that (potential Civil War spoilers)
Spoiler:
Ant-man will become Giant Man in CW; the 'Airport Showdown' set has a massive minifigure (megafigure?) of Giant-man.
I'm avoiding the BvS one, though, so no one say nothin' outside of spoilers, please!

You really don't need that. DD and JJ are pretty much entirely self-contained bar the odd throwaway reference, and they've come out and said that the Agents of SHIELD stuff will not be crossing back into main MCU territory in the forseeable future (except possibly with The Inhumans, but even then, they've said the movie version will be different to the ones showing up in AoS). All you need to see is the movies. I'd also argue the quality is only getting better. Iron Man aside, all of the Phase 2 movies have been better than their Phase 1 counterparts, Age of Ultron and Winter Soldier were a new high points, Guardians was an unmitigated hit and for what it was, Ant-man was as great as it could have been too (much better the second time round, in fact).
Sasori wrote:I wish they had just skipped the second trailer.
This trailer was by far the best one.
I'll agree with the second part there. I must admit the Doomsday trailer was perhaps a little heavy-handed, but stiff decent at setting up the movie. As much as has been given away, there's still a lot we don't know (where do Wonder Woman and Luthor fit in all of this, why exactly are Bats and Supes fighting this time, how does Batman's past factor in, what kind of Justice League setup are we going to see?)
Part of me does hope it's all a big bait-and-switch with Doomsday, though, and that the 'Is she with you?' scene will be the end of the movie; Supes and Bats are just reaching the end of their battle, WW drops in and enter Doomsday, the Trinity are assembled, roll credits, open JL Part 1 with the three of them taking on Doomsday... No way that'll happen, though.
