Welcome back everyone it's Charlie this is going to be my new Justice League video
HBO just dropped a teaser there's a brand new series that they're doing with
bad robot it's going to be a big-budget Justice League dark series so we'll
break it all down if you're new to the channel be sure to subscribe to get all
the videos we're doing an Amazon giveaway all you have to do to enter is
be a subscriber and let me know which other big-budget series you want them to
do on HBO max so we'll just go down the list here starting with number 5 if you
missed the news this afternoon HBO max revealed that they're doing a
brand new Justice League dark series is going to be big-budget think the Marvel
Disney Plus series with the MCU actors playing their characters big-budget like
that there have been several attempts to do a Justice League dark movie the past
10 years just looking Guillermo del Toro press F in the chat for Guillermo del
Toro's Justice League dark movie the script from that leaked a little while
ago it sounds like it would have been fantastic but it was just way too weird
for the last regime at Warner Brothers now it sounds like they're totally down
for it and they have the same problem that Disney Plus has right now they're
desperately in need of new high value content and they just don't have that
much HBO Max is launching next month and they just don't have a ton of brand-new
content that they're launching with so it's going to be a while before a lot of
these really big budget DC series start happening is the same thing with the
big-budget Marvel series that Disney Plus is doing the basic team for the
series would be Constantine swampthing Zatanna Deadman Madame Xanadu with the
possibility of people like dr. fate the demon Etrigan a bunch of other magic
based DC characters and villains really we only have Shazam right now in terms
of big magic based characters in the movies so think more along those lines
more magic based DC people for if you're not a big comic book reader DC is
literally getting ready to release a brand new Justice League Apocalypse War
animated movie with a bunch of these Justice League dark characters like
Constantine that's probably a good place to start if you're brand new to the
concept of Justice League dark they released another animated movie a couple
years ago with Batman and some of the core characters it was pretty solid so
there is a lot of Justice League dark content out there already but most of it
is animated in terms of live-action Justice League dark
everybody knows Matt Ryan is Constantine he's been on legends of tomorrow in the
DC TV universe for a long time now Keanu Reeves also played Constantine in the
movies a long time ago you may remember scott derrickson
recently departed the Doctor Strange two movie at Marvel he did say that if he
ever did a DC movie Constantine was his favorite character he would love to do a
Constantine sequel at some point HBO didn't say whether or not Matt Ryan
is going to come back for the series since HBO max DC series won't be super
connected to the DC TV shows on the CW network so I'll explain how that's going
to work three how are all these new HBO DC series the big-budget one's going to
be connected to the movies and then all the other DC TV stuff during the crisis
on Infinite Earths ending scene they did this big montage the multiverse is
Oliver Queen was rebooting it using his specter powers during that montage you
see a bunch of non DC TV series and characters it does a good job of
illustrating how all those are tied together loosely through the concept of
the multiverse in how that's different from the DC TV shows which are all on
earth prime right now here's that clip.
Every existence multiplied by possibility.
and spread out before space and time in infinite measure
civilizations rose and fell
and rose again across realities grasping expanse.
life a precious gift persevering in the face of every obstacle.
until finally
the Age of Heroes was born.
So if it wasn't clear from that clip all the DCTV
shows from the CW what we think of is the proper arrowverse arrow the flash
legends of tomorrow the upcoming Superman TV show that's going to debut
later this year now Black Lightning as of crisis Supergirl and Batwoman those
are all taking place on earth prime they're deeply connected to each other
they reference each other all the time there's like a couple different levels
of DC content depending on where you get it there's the animated stuff there's
the huge big-budget movie stuff then you have all the different TV shows on all
the different networks that are loosely connected the reason that Titans
Stargirl swampthing in the new HBO Green Lantern series are all in different
universes are because one they're on different networks and two the crisis on
Infinite Earths producers confirmed that when they started making those other
shows the showrunners of those shows were told that they would be able to do
their own thing and they wouldn't have to worry about crossing over with the DC
TV shows if they didn't want to but they could if they did want to so number two
all the DC shows on HBO max will be connected from the start loosely with
the opportunity to crossover with DC TV stuff if they ever want to but don't
expect that to happen a lot best example is the big-budget HBO Green Lantern show
that will wind up premiering before the new Justice League series but they
haven't said when it's going to start filming just because everybody is on
lockdown right now it's going to follow Sinestro Hal Jordan and John Stewart over
the course of many different years across the timeline like the way that
arrow did the flashbacks every season I'm using Green Lantern movie footage
but a lot of these Green Lantern movie characters won't be coming back it'll be
completely different actors playing these characters like Ryan Reynolds
won't come back as Hal Jordan
And please don't make the supersuit green or animated!
But you'll see Sinestro when he was younger and a member of the Green
Lantern Corps Hal Jordan when he was a rookie Green Lantern under him then
later in the timeline you'll see Sinestro after he gets the yellow
lantern ring and starts to form the Sinestro Corps in an older version of
Hal Jordan doing the same thing mentoring a brand new Jon Stewart Green
Lantern but because they're not deeply connected to the DC TV stuff in the
arrowverse don't automatically expect Diggle to cross over the Green Lantern
teaser in the arrow finale implied that the Diggle Green Lantern stuff is
probably going to be handled on the new Superman TV show that was what they
meant when they said that he and Lyla were moving to Metropolis
wink wink because that's where the new Superman TV show is going to take place
that this universe is far bigger than any of us could have dared imagine
and as for a green lantern HBO and Justice League dark HBO crossover I mean
how often is there really a reason for Hal Jordan to crossover with Constantine
and Swamp Thing two completely different genres most of that Green Lantern series
is going to be set in outer space anyway so early seasons not expecting a ton of
crossover with the HBO stuff as for DC movie crossover it does sound like DC is
trying to figure out its new Justice League movie timeline and give each of
the different filmmakers or the big movies their own space to do whatever
they want I think the flash flashpoint movie is
supposed to clean up some of that but that movie won't be happening for a
couple of years so I think they're taking it on a movie by movie bases so
some movies will still be connected to the Justice League timeline like the
Aquaman sequels the Wonder Woman sequels but Robert Pattinsons Batman is a
good example his Batman movies are going to take place in the past and it's not
meant to be a prequel to the Ben Affleck Batman they're just going to do their own
thing and sort of set up this new timeline of Batman in the DC Universe
think of him is sort of an alternate timeline they could connect with other
DC movies in the future if they want to in success but for the most part this
first new Batman movie is going to be its own thing in the past and according to a
lot of the other DC filmmakers they're not planning on doing another Justice
League movie for several years so it's going to be a long time before we're
talking about that again so number one what is going on with the movies right
now well the Batman movie was almost halfway done filming when they had to
stop for the virus but based on the current timeline for when they're
expecting to start filming again later this year they will still make their
release date of June 2021 as much as it sucks that everybody has to be trapped
in their homes and everyone's on lockdown and everything is delayed the
break actually benefits a lot of these big movies in that it gives them more
time to rework the script and rethink some of their creative so that when they
go back to start filming again it'll give them the time to make the movie
better and I think we all just want really good DC movies Wonder Woman 1984
was delayed from June this year to August just a couple months not that big
a deal they finished the movie a long time ago they're not really going to change
anything about the movie during the break Jason Momoa has been hyping up
Aquaman 2 but that movie won't be released till 2022 so they haven't even
gotten close to starting that yet everyone let me know in the comments
though what do you want them to do this new Justice League dark big-budget
series in which other big-budget DC series do you want them to do on HBO max
everyone's also been asking me about all this Schneider cut stuff if they release
some alternate cut of Justice League on HBO max of course I'll do an Easter Egg
video for it but I'm not expecting them to do that right now
