Greetings nerdy list aficionados we’re going to be taking a look at the DC film universe
formerly the DCEU the DC extended universe is no more welcome to the worlds of DC that
leaves much more room to play with just what exactly is going on in this filmverse.
It looks like things are shifting again at the time of this recording but just like back
in 2011 when the New 52 launched it’s all a bit confusing.
Some things are rebooting some are staying the same, can they make it all work and make
sense we shall see.
For most they are now looking forward, focusing on what they hope to see in the futures.
So these are the Top 10 things world of dc rumours we wish were true.
Hey maybe some will turn out to be you never know.
I’m Sasha and let’s get started.
Number 10 – Gotham City Sirens could still happen.
Now 2016’s Suicide Squad was not exactly met with widespread audience or critical acclaim,
however one thing most people seemed to agree on was that they liked Margot Robbie’s rendition
of Harley Quinn.
And rumours and some pre production rumblings began to swirl around the idea of creating
a Gotham City sirens film based off of the well received comic book series of the same
name which had run from 2009 to 2011 but it just hasn’t managed to come to fruition.
However with Birds of Prey going forward with set photos already leaking and being officially
shared.
Some have had their hopes raised once more that this Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy and Catwoman
film could finally occur.
However, it appears the Robbie isn’t signed on for anymore DC universe projects post Birds
of Prey and she’s not slated to be in James Gunn’s suicide squad sequel so if that’s
the case how would this project go forward.
Well perhaps with an all new cast it could be an elseworlds story maybe.
I mean this is the world’s of DC.
What do you think are you holding out hope.
Number 9 – A Nightwing movie, people have been asking for this for a long time and they
keep getting teased.
There was the whole John Blake thing in 2012’s the dark knight rises.
Where he was all oh My name is Robin and I’m a cop and I found the Batcave but then nothing
happened with that.
Recently there were fan casts and casting call rumours, and Titans tv series is gracing
the world with it’s first live action Robin since 1997.
So people are primed they think it’s time for Nightwing to grace the big screen.
You know how thirsty people in the DC fandom are for Nightwing even if this happens people
will want at least 10 sequels.
The rumour mill has this one slated for a potential late 2020 release date, and that
it could be directed by Chris Mckay who directed Lego Batman.
Number 8 – Green Lantern Corps space epic so we all remember that Ryan Reynold’s green
lantern film right back in 2011.
The now oft mocked and just put of of mind for many people.
Well since then for most people it’s just been a given that a reboot was not only imminent
but necessary, and now with World’s of DC rumours are swirling that it may finally be
time to try again, and not only that but try again in a big way by introducing multiple
members of the corps or maybe even multiple corps.
Some say that the DCEU was setting it up from the very beginning and you do see the corp
in 2018’s Justice League however briefly.
However with the DCEU over what does that mean for the corps.
Well some hope the success of Aquaman means that another bold project can take centre
stage.
There’s not much about this one, but that Geoff Johns is at the helm and that’s enough
for some.
Number 7 – No more Hot Topic Joker.
So Jared Leto’s portrayal of the Joker was polarizing to say the least and erred on the
side of people not liking it.
Initially there was meant to be a mad love style spin off film between him and Harley
which would have been cold and caused quite the ruckus and for that reason alone I’m
sad it got shelved.
There was also supposed to be a solo Leto Joker outing but that has been shelved too,
and as of the time of this recording it looks like Leto’s time as the Joker may indeed
have come to a close.
Indeed depending upon when this goes up it may even have already been confirmed.
So no more gangsta Joker.
For those who disliked this portrayal this of course a cause for celebration for those
who did enjoy it there’s just been so much confusion with the former DCEU no shelving
or change in direction can really come as that much of a surprise.
For many the best rumours are those that turn out to be true.
Number 6 – Black Adam finally, so that Dwayne Johnson Black Adam film yes it’s still happening,
rumours are production will start this year at the time of this recording 2019.
Now there are some who feel that all of this will hinge on the success of DC’s Shazam
formerly known as Captain Marvel yeah he lost that lawsuit.
There’s a decent amount of enthusiasm for that film and most fans still seem to feel
that Johnson is the perfect Black Adam so according to rumours everything is progressing
nicely.
The Rock is still interested and is even excited about the new direction of the DC universe
stating "There's reconfiguration going on.
There's looking at the macro map of the DC universe.
And I know those guys are working diligently at DC and Warner Bros too, working closely
with our producers too, to see how Black Adam unfolds in the universe.
"But yeah.
I mean, I'm excited about it.
It's just coming along and being written."
Sometimes these are the rumours people want most just smooth sailing.
Number 5 – Batgirl solo movie – ok so this one is tied to the upcoming Birds of
Prey movie with all of that moving forward people believe the film could serve as a springboard
or set up for a Batgirl solo film.
Batgirl is of course an important part of the Birds of Prey mythos and some would love
to see her get her own solo film.
This is pure rumour city but it has a good logic flow which is most likely why this one
could gain some traction.
Some say this has been debunked, but when has that ever stopped anyone, besides what
was said was that it won’t crossover with Batgirl a setup isn’t a crossover semantics
clever word play you decide!
What do you think would you want a Batgirl movie.
Number 4 – Booster Gold cameo in Blue Beetle movie in November of 2018 it was reported
that DC was working on some kind of Blue Beetle movie and now the rumour mill is in overdrive
saying it could feature booster gold.
Booster gold has made him comeback in comics in a big way at the time of this recording
and historically his friendship forged with Ted Kord’s blue beetle during their time
in the Justice League international is still remembered fondly by many fans.
They were even widely shipped with was balled Boostle.
Rumours have indicated that this film will centre around the third blue beetle Jaime
Reyes but that wouldn’t stop people from being excited if Booster showed up.
Maybe the world could even be graced with a more mature Booster and not have him starting
at his base point of greedy and self centred.
Of course it’s early days so hey it may not happen at all but fans can dream.
Number 3 – Suicide Squad 2 will be entirely recast.
Oh poor maligned Suicide Squad it wasn’t perfect but yeesh.
It has been announced that Suicide Squad 2 will be a soft reboot and that while initially
it was though the first films cast would be reused it is now looking like that might not
be the case.
So why do people want this to happen.
Well many just want the first suicide squad stricken from the record, just put out of
people’s minds completely and for some if this is true a completely new cast would be
the perfect way to do just that.
Though people are sad Harley won’t be in it.
Number 2 – New Gods will focus on Mr. Miracle and Bir Barda.
Mr Miracle has just come off a great comic run at the time of this recording and so some
feel that him and his wife Big Barda would be the perfect focus for Ava Duvernay’s
new gods film.
Jack Kirby’s New Gods are beloved by many fans but are also completely unknown to others
so many have been curious as to just how this film will take shape.
The idea that would focus on this well liked couple was a refreshing one to fans, now this
was reported by we got this covered so you can decide how much credence you want to give
it but for some this rumoured action packed romantic slant to this picture is one they
could definitely get behind.
Number 1 – World’s of DC will fix everything.
If you take the summation of all the rumours together the gist of what is being said is
that the end of the DCEU era will usher in a golden age for DC that finally DC heroes
will have the film verse they deserve.
One can dream contrary to popular belief the MCU isn’t perfect and not everything about
the DCEU was terrible a lot of it was context and comparing on contrasting.
Yes it made a lot of missteps and hopefully World’s of DC can tie some things together.
It all depends on whether they’re going for one shared universe or just full on embrace
the multiverse.
I just want good movies shared universe or solo.
What would make the world’s of dc just the absolute best in your eyes.
