Warner Bros. on the DC Comics Properties

August 16, 2008

Variety talked to Warner Bros. Pictures President and Chief Operating Officer Alan Horn, Production President Jeff Robinov and Gregory Noveck, Senior VP of Creative Affairs for DC Comics about the challenges of turning more DC properties into movies besides just the "Batman" and "Superman" franchises. Here are a few clips from the article:

Warners and DC (both Time Warner entities) have labored in vain over another Superman, and launches for Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Arrow and Green Lantern. It's maddening for fans as rival Marvel Comics has successfully begun financing its own slate of pics, first with "Iron Man," then a reboot of "The Incredible Hulk" this summer.

That could soon change, as Warners is readying to revamp how DC's properties are developed -- changes that could be announced within the next month.

Check out the full article here which talks about how the "Justice League" movie and a third Christopher Nolan-directed Batman movie as well.

ZERO Yeah I Said It

Sounds like they are finally about to get on the ball but they all said it in the past. Cant wait to see what Chris Nolan does with Batman three up he is in.

anything, so long as they've got the right creative team behind it that understands the comics and knows how to update it a la The Dark Knight.

whether it be DC Studios (like Iron Man for Marvel Studios) or WB doesn't matter.

I want a Superman sequal, Superman Returns I liked but it was a B movie, you know Singer will make a better sequal. I like The Green Lantern idea, I heard the script is very good. JLA is a dumb idea and so is Wonderwoman. I say they should try to do The Flash.

It's great that a third Batman film is on the table. If anyone's going to make a consistently awesome trilogy, (work a miracle, in other words) it's Chris Nolan.

The other properties don't appeal, particularly Justice League, which will always seem like a bad idea to me, at least until I walk out of the cinema and say, "You know what, that was pretty good." But, I'm not expecting that.
