DC Announces New Movie and TV Plans

Of course what I really want is a prestige streaming Astro City series. ::sad sigh::

With the Furrst Family!

With the Furrst Family!

All of it. Every issue.

Sounds like The Authority might make a good stand-in for The Elite from "Superman vs. The Elite" animated movie.

Yeah, the Elite were Joe Kelly's riff on the Authority before DC purchased Wildstorm.

Astro City would be amazing as a prestige series, but some of the stories, like "The Nearness of You" would likely be pretty incomprehensible to the general public until reality-altering crises make it to the screen at some point.

(I know it's allegedly going to be in the Flash movie, but I am still not 100% convinced we will ever see that movie. Ezra is 100% capable of doing something awful enough to get it Batgirled.)

He already has done that, though they seem hell-bent to get that movie released anyway.

I trust Gunn as a storyteller. He has an excellent sense for characters and story.

Maybe he's biting off more than he can chew in terms of work load, what with being studio head, over-arching story runner, and writing a lot of the material. Is he slated to direct anything?

To the particular properties that are coming -

I really like The Authority. I think Gunn will turn in a good version of them.

I'm curious about the Green Lantern show. Yes, I feel that making them Earthbound misses out on all that gonzo space action but maybe that's a good thing for on-boarding new viewers.

And I have no real strong thoughts or feelings on any of the rest. It's the sort of stuff I'll catch up with eventually.

My interest in a Booster Gold movie can be described with two questions: Is he Canadian? And: Does it matter to the story? I mean honestly that could be an attempt to gauge how national niches work, or to tap into some of the same energy Deadpool had.

Was the OG Booster Gold Canadian?

Was the OG Booster Gold Canadian?

I don't believe so. I have read both of his series and a fair number of his other appearances and I am pretty sure his nationality was never mentioned.

If the Swamp Thing movie's going to cover the Alan Moore era, I'm in. Otherwise, my interest in it fades rapidly.
