Hope they choose a better actress for Batgirl than Gadot was for Wonder Woman. As charming as Gadot was, at times, there were scenes were her inability to act hurt the scene.
Those are technically already in the pipeline but are held up by scheduling now: Reeves is busy Apes for the next couple months, and Ezra is busy shooting Fantastic Beasts 2 into the fall.
Nah she was honestly great.
But yea I have no idea who would be in the running for Batgirl.
Well we got Aquaman next year. And we know Batgirl and Sirens are coming and The Batman. Whedon can probably start on Batgirl whenever he's ready. Reeves is busy with apes for now.

Sure, it's possible. But Warner is the studio who keeps letting the Wachowski's make bomb-after-bomb, who gave Zack Snyder the keys to the DC kingdom after Sucker Punch. If there's one thing that Warner is pretty alright at, it's sticking by their directors. Sometimes even to a fault.
Fuck's sake, if they wanted to keep working with David Ayer they're going to want to keep working with Patty. I would be pretty shocked if she doesn't end up doing Wondy 2.
No Elongated Man movie, NO SALE!
edit: seriously though, I don't fault WB for taking the gamble with Jenkins not getting a 2 picture deal. She had one big movie before this, and WW wasn't really set up to do anything except support the main BvS storylines, iirc. But, now that she's turned that plan on it's head (in a really good way), it's time to show her the money.

Apes should be finished by now, or finishing in the next couple weeks. He'll be busy with the press tour, but I wouldn't be surprised if he starts in on a rewrite soon. I think The Batman will probably make 2019 just fine, for the character's 80th.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Dunno. I think WB is serious on keeping her on board in whatever capacity much like FOX has done with Bryan Singer.
This is pretty much WB's first critical and commercial success outside of Nolan's Batman for DC. I don't think they would want to mess with a winning formula.
Are they? Well shit. That's awesome news!

Is JL Dark even actually going to get made though? Seems like they don't even a cast yet, and production has been hell. I know Liman's attached, but if there's any DC films that's going to get delayed again and again I'd say it's that one.
Still good for Jenkins.
Flash has also had some production woes, and they currently searching for a new director to helm it.

I think she will be on the sequel. I just dont think she is going to be getting an A-tier payday after one film.
You mention Ayer, but Suicide Squad was the most profitable DCEU film, so I dont see how keeping him is a stretch.

Batgirl is fine and all but I really hope they don't prioritize Batman spin-offs over other heroes in the DCU.
I've been waiting for Shazam and that movie still doesn't have a director.

I love the idea of a Justice League Dark film but goddammit do I hate that name. Shadowpact or bust.
And Detective Chimp better be in it.

Honestly, I'd hope with the big screen version they don't consider a Welsh accent to pass for a scouse.We already got the best Constantine:

This is the goddamn TRUTH. Constantine's my boy and I love Matt Ryan playing him.

It's so crap, Dark League would even sound better.
I watched the JL Dark animated film the other day and it was surprisingly ok. Most the the DC animated films are awful now unfortunately but I liked it plenty.

Better than an Irish accent if you ask me.

Give Paul Bettnay the role of Constantine! He'll smash it!
He was bloody awful.
I know he's from Liverpool, but he moved to London at, what, sixteen? I always thought he had an Estuary/Cockney accent. That's how it reads to me.

I agree with all this. Justice League Dark is a terrible title and would be confusing to the general audience.
As far as Patty, I'm betting she'll get some sort of guiding role in the DCEU alongside Geoff Johns. Essentially the same sort of consulting that Nolan did for Man of Steel.
Beyond that, at the very least, she becomes the Gatekeeper of the Wonder Woman character. Whoever directs JL2 or whoever wants to use Wonder Woman for a cameo will have to get Patty's blessing on how they use the character.

Sam Raimi for JLDark would rock. It's been a minute since he's gone back to that kind of world. Just the evil dead pilot and drag me to hell long before that
You have no taste. Matt Ryan nailed the role.

Colin Farrell or Daniel Craig for Constantine plz
Man deserves somebody with that kind of screen presence and gruff demeanor
Matt Ryan was fun but obviously he isn't getting the part in the movie
And as much as I love Keanu his depiction and movie itself was boring

I would love for Patty Jenkins to get a larger creative role but really, I want them to get that Flash movie going, and then afterward look at all these other properties. I'm fine with Justice League Dark cause that'll give me John Constantine but ugh it's a hard wait for The Flash.

Not sure why, but I feel like Raimi could actually make people care about Cyborg. If they're still making that movie, I'd like to see him in the director's chair. Of course, his version of the speedforce would also look incredible.
For JL Dark, I don't know, my top choices like Liman and Del Toro have already moved on... Fuck it, bring back Francis Lawrence and let's make his Constantine canon and retroactively the first DCEU film. Yeah, I said it. Keanu forever.

Good lord we don't need anymore Killing Joke stuff
heh, Craig playing his Logan Lucky character with a Welsh accent would be a fun take.
What? That end scene with Affleck and Leto would be the funniest awful scene ever.

That doesn't mean they will do "whatever it takes" to keep her, which is what I was replying to.

That trailer reminded me how much I missed Craig man. Brehs been on autopilot as bond for a while now (though I still like him in those movies despite how the last one turned out)
