I'm cool with it. I hope he'll be a CG character though because King Shark should be pretty damn big.

When I imagine Rooker's raspy voice and Southern accent coming out of Nanaue's mouth, it makes my mouth do one of those frowny-type things. I think my eyes do something similar as well. I just don't think it fits the character. I would, however, love to see Rooker as Sportsmaster, Captain Cold, or Unknown Soldier.

Damn he would've been a killer Sportsmaster. But I'm sure they'll alter his voice. He'll probably sound similar to DiMaggio in Assault on Arkham.

His voice is really distinctive, though. Why cast him, if you're going to alter it?

DC/WB just keep making the best decisions EVER!!!
Not at all invested in their stuff but, fuckin' a, how can they be so wrong so much?
Pattinson is in the lead to be Bats.

I guess one British Batman wasn't enough. Supposedly Nicholas Hoult is their backup choice, which means they can save a bunch of money by not hiring an American and member of SAG-AFTRA. Woo!

Wow, that new Batwoman trailer could almost be mistaken for satire.
What's crazy is they're completely serious with this shit.

I don't really care who plays Batman next. I thought Affleck was really good in the part even though the movies he was in were terrible. I'm done with DC movies until they can show they know what the fuck they're doing. Robert Paddington could be the best Batman ever, but if the movie sucks then it doesn't matter.

YOU LITERALLY STOLE BATMAN'S SUIT AND GEAR! The star, the acting, the writing, the production design...everything about it looks unsurprisingly terrible. Berlanti needs to be beaten with hammers. Not because he promotes "sodomite propaganda," as this one troglodyte jerkoff on the Toy New International boards has been complaining about, but because he fucking sucks.

I agree, I thought Affleck did a damn good job. I enjoyed Batman vs Superman but Justice League was horrible and they did a lousy job using Batman in it.

When it comes to casting comic characters I'm at the point where I really couldn't care less who plays who as long as they do a good job. Do I think Karl Urban would be better as Batman? Well yeah because he's awesome but if Twilight guy or current Beast get the part then fine. Just don't suck.

Hmmm. I actually see Hoult even less as Batman. I prefer Pattinson of the two. But also, I don't care about any of it at this point.

Somebody is going to be the third Batman in seven years. We still don't have a Green Lantern (the one movie doesn't count) and DC has an entire pantheon of heroes that could be in movies.

Could anything save the DCEU now? I don't know. I think the super-hero bubble will burst in a year or two, especially now that the original Avengers storyline has been wrapped up satisfyingly, and when it does, I think everyone but Marvel Studios will back off of super-heroes and it'll be a good thing. I think Marvel Studios will pare down a lot, but will probably keep the MCU going a bit longer than the competition. Maybe once the bubble has burst, WB will give up on a connected universe and will focus all their efforts on one or two solo franchises.

I know there are so many other long arcs Marvel could do, but I hope they don't. It forced DC to push out the most horrifying garbage. Not that that's why. I just think that genie has left the bottle and it can't happen again.
One-offs with the occasional sequel, and even rarer trilogy, made by people who aren't absolute downers their whole lives is the way they should go. DC is about color and right and wrong.

Yeah, I've heard DC's streaming service is severely underperforming
Like they've lost more subscribers than they've gained since the service started

There have been rumors that the DC originals are going to head to a WB streaming service. I would rather see them all over on Netflix, although I wonder if the Netflix deal might be the remnants of something negotiated a while ago.

It could have something to do with Lucifer being on Netflix. It'd be nice if they picked up Swamp Thing too.

I read up on the DC streaming service just to see how bad it's actually doing and the most subs they've had is 700K and it's dropped significantly since those numbers were reported

WB sold Lucifer to Netflix because it has a massive international audience that would never see it on DC Universe and because Netflix had the funds to keep the show's budget the same without changing any contracts. They also outbid Amazon, which previously had the international broadcast rights when the show was on Fox.

I finally got around to seeing Aquaman, or at least the first 45 minutes or so of Aquaman. I turned it off after a while because JESUS FUCKING CHRIST that movie is awful. Worse than Green Lantern, worse than Justice League, just complete shit.

It looks like it would be fun to watch to make fun of it. Nope. No. It's wall-to-wall smeared shit and hammered assholes for the entire running time. I still regret being weak and giving Crimecast the $4 rental fee to watch it On Demand, and I will lament that choice on my death bed.
