Hello, /co/. WB insider here.



This isn't exactly news, since there's been some rumblings about it before, but DC and WB are planning to start its own streaming channel, similar to Netflix and Hulu, but DC-focused.



They're still in the early stages of figuring stuff out. They've made a couple of moves, however, by buying Machinima completely. The Gods and Monsters shorts are a small taste of what you'd expect. The overall plan is to get as much of their old programming as possible to start off, from animation, to live-action series, to movies both known and obscure.



Expect most of their animation and live action library to make it over. The CW shows are another matter, since they're streaming on the CW website and they have a deal with Netflix. So, they're figuring that stuff out. Expect older live-action shows, though, like Smallville.



Renewing Young Justice is another part of it. They want to attract the existing fanbase for it, so they announced the show before it entered pre-production to start building hype. It'll probably leave Netflix when the third season is close to being completed. There are also talks of renewing Green Lantern and Beware the Batman, since the crews for them are available and it would be cost-effective to bring them back, since the CGI assets are already built. Plus, there's goodwill attached to them after how Cartoon Network treated them.



They're also planning to add their animated DTVs as well, at least starting with the older ones.



Beyond YJ season three, they're still figuring out more new, original content. There's talk of a full-blown talk show like the one DC Entertainment has on its YouTube channel.



That's all I have. It's all still in early stages of development, but expect an announcement later this year. You can believe or don't. I don't really mind either one.



Happy New Year!

Wonder Woman is just pretty average, from what I've heard. Executives are certain it'll be a box office hit due to her being the biggest female superhero in the public's eyes, but the people I know that are closer to that production are saying it's nothing more than serviceable and a little boring, which is same they're saying in regards to Gadot's performance. Everyone is loving Chris Pine, though.



Justice League, judging by the word on the street, will go down the same path as the previous Snyder movies: Great visuals, divisive everything else. From what I've seen (which is admitedly not the whole thing) the script is really messy, rushed and with the awkward characterizations. It is also needlessly crowded with characters, locations and backstories for what is essentially a pretty cut-and-dry Macguffin chase story. But it could work out if they have a good editor, and WB is really concerned with that after both BvS and SS came under fire for choppy editing.

I don't know much about it, but from what I've heard it's a fun movie, and is very much its own thing, so much that Kong is never taken to the city and doesn't die. I don't know who did the designs, though.



As for the crossover, it's into very early stages, so there's nothing particularly set in stone other than they're following the basic hero crossover template in which Godzilla and Kong will battle at first and will then have to team up against a third bigger badder monster.

That depends on just what they're offering as programming. If we were to compile a complete list of every single serial, series and film in existence, both live action and animated, then we would find there's certainly enough material to justify the service. It's the DIVERSITY of the material that would be the obstacle. $9.99/month for what is predominantly Batman/Superman-centric programming? No thanks.

The Flash is stalled right now, Rick Famuyiwa's departure caught everyone off-guard and the character is simply not very high on WB's priority list, partially because the TV show is very popular and both Famuyiwa and the previous writer/director Seth Grahame-Smith struggled to break new ground from what the show is doing in terms of mythology, character interactions and visual elements. WB is now scouting their in-house directors to take over, but it is very likely it'll be delayed to 2019.



The Batman movie is coming around. WB is determined to releasing it by 2018, and are having recurring meetings with Ben Affleck to figure out the scheduling for everything. 2018 is the year Avengers: Infinity War comes out, and WB believes Affleck's Batman is the biggest ace in their hole to measure up to it. Affleck seems generally comfortable with the timeframe they've offered, with footage commencing probably in mid-2018. Based on the post-production schedule Affleck demands the movie could take over the Flash's proposed release date in late March or get a slate in early-to-late June.
