\"\"<\/a>Here\u2019s the difference between the Marvel and DC film empires. The Marvel film efforts are such a well oiled machine that nothing short of a fistfight on set will get mention in the trades. However, all it takes is a casual mention about a potential film schedule from a head executive at Warner brothers to have all the people to start running around like a chicken with their heads cut off.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s causing all the chicken\u2019s to run, including this one, is information culled from an L.A. Times interview with Warner Brothers executive Jeff Robinov and reported on the paper\u2019s Hero Complex blog<\/a> about the company\u2019s plans for\u00a0 DC Comics properties. The information concerns the future of the Bat-franchise after The Dark Knight Rises<\/strong>\u2014and what role Christopher Nolan\u2019s role in that future will be\u2014and a potential restart to the aborted Justice League <\/strong>film.<\/p>\n

While it does appear the The Dark Knight Rises <\/strong>will close out the Christian Bale starring\/Nolan directed Batman trilogy, the Batfilms will go on as the property will be rebooted once again immediately afterword. The good news is that Nolan will stay on board, producing the reboot with his wife Emma Thomas.<\/p>\n

The bad news is that producing isn\u2019t the same as directing or writing. Nolan\u2019s involvement in both those areas is what makes the current series of films great. Well, maybe they learned a lesson from the first films series. If they rebooted at three back then, we wouldn\u2019t have had to suffer through Batman and Robin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The news about Justice League <\/strong>being in the works is interesting for a number of reasons. Robinov makes it seem like the film is on the fast track, with a 2013 release date mentioned.\u00a0 Of course, a Justice League <\/strong>film got all the way to the costume-making, cast-relocating-to-shooting-location stage back in 2007 before a litany of problems caused Warners to pull the plug on it.<\/p>\n

Also, Geoff Johns, DC\u2019s liaison with Warner Brothers concerning film adaptations of DC characters, stated as recently as last October at the New York Comic Con<\/a> that there was no Justice League film in the works.<\/p>\n

This film is mean to be a vehicle that restarts the stalled Flash <\/strong>and Wonder Woman <\/strong>film franchises. This fact cause many to question if, like Marvel\u2019s The Avengers<\/strong>, will this be shared universe project, meaning Henry Cavill as the Justice League\u2019s Superman and Ryan Reynolds as its Green Lantern. This kind of shared universe was expressly disavowed by Nolan back when he took over producing the Superman reboot<\/a>. He made it clear that his Batman films were definitely in a different universe that the Superman films.<\/p>\n

One question was addressed by Robinov\u2014how Wonder Woman in the Justice League and her own film franchise would affect the Wonder Woman TV series in the works. Robinov considers it to be like Smallville <\/strong>and Superman Returns<\/strong>\u2014two different takes on the same concept, different enough to avoid confusion. However, it worked that time because Smallville <\/strong>was an unique take on Supeman\u2019s life as a teen and young adult, while Bryan Singer\u2019s film dealt with a grown Superman. The Wonder Woman in the films and the TV show would appear to be much closer in age, so the lines of distinction will be far muddier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
