surprise, basil karlo runs into robert pattinson's batman who tries to help him but in the end fails

 

Would be nice, but they've been clear that Battinson is not the Dark Knight for the new DCU.

 

On the one hand I get it, on the other hand I respect that Gunn is thinking more about what's exciting and not what takes place in chronological order in the comics.

Arguably if Suicide Squad had been a better movie, it would have done better financially. We'll never know, but being a trainwreck certainly didn't help, and Gunn has the benefit of having made the good Suicide Squad movie.

 

or maybe they just lie

 

This is true. Everybody lies.

 

Me. I’ve never made a studio lose money. My record is clean.

 

I agree suicide squad could have done better at the box office if it was dog water, but currently the box office is at a place where even generally favored films like Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four are not doing so great. Superman is getting pretty good results but he’s Superman. I don’t see Clayface doing numbers even if it’s as well received as the recent 3 cbm movies this year. Just seems like an unnecessary gamble when you want to draw in an audience for the first few films of the DCU.

 

Well horror seems to be doing pretty well and I doubt it's going to have a huge budget. I'd say they've got nothing to lose.

 

If you’re not, like, a producer on the films or whatever, I don’t know why you’d care if a movie that hasn’t even been made yet is gonna do at the box office, lol. What should matter to an audience member is if it’s good or fun or interesting, etc. It being profitable doesn’t matter except insofar as, if you do end up liking it, I guess you’d probably wanna see more.

Imo, it’s really cool that, after initially announcing “Brave and the Bold” as an early film in this universe, a Clayface movie got a script worth developing into a movie faster than that Batman one did. It’s also cool that they’re going for different tones and genres and budget levels, instead of exclusively big blockbusters for all the most obvious possible characters until those are exhausted.

Maybe this will be a successful swing. Maybe it’ll miss. But it’s neat either way.

 

It's also probably the only chance we'll have of seeing Clayface on the big screen since no one seems interested in doing anything fantastical with Batman.
