âAquaman and the Lost Kingdomâ and âShazam!: Fury of the Godsâ will land in theaters later than planned.
Warner Bros. announced a slew of release date changes on Wednesday, pushing the âAquamanâ follow-up from March 17, 2023 to Dec. 25, 2023. The âShazam!â sequel will open on the date previously occupied by Jason Momoaâs hulking King of Atlantis. The story about Zachary Leviâs Billy Batson was originally set for Dec. 21, 2022.
On its new date, âAquaman and the Lost Kingdomâ will debut a few days after Disneyâs âStar Warsâ spinoff âRogue Squadronâ (Dec. 23, 2023). Meanwhile, âShazam!: Fury of the Gods,â which was initially set to face off against James Cameronâs âAvatar: The Way of Water,â now has free rein over its new opening weekend. Plus, a March release date worked well for Robert Pattinsonâs Caped Crusader adventure âThe Batmanâ ($770 million globally), another DC Comics film.
These things are never coming out. 
And Iâm kidding⌠probably.
I wonder if The Flash will move too⌠again.
I guess it doesnât really need to, but who knowsâŚ
EDIT:
At some point though they may say just forget it and just move onâŚ
Well with the current heads ruining WB my guess is that once theyâve completely ruined things either Paramount or Universal will swoop in and buy the companyâs carcass. Hopefully this will lead to a real long term plan for a DC film universe.
I just hope DC Comics will be ok and weather out this storm.
Guess weâll just have to wait and see.

Well, thereâs rumorsâŚ
In addition to the film and TV division, now Warner Bros. Discovery and David Zaslav have their sights set on the failing DC Comics division.
As I have been reporting on for years, DC Comics has been in dire straits due to its S-J-W and woke agenda where the company doesnât care about the fans, doesnât care about the characters, doesnât care about quality content, and doesnât care about making money (much like Marvel Comics).
Well, with the new merger itâs all coming to a head for Jim Lee and Marie Javins as it is reported the accounting offices of Warner Bros. Discovery have been taking a hard look at the books of DC Comics, where things are so bad that only Batman sells, as last month saw over half of the comics published not making the Top 100 list of sales.
And obviously thatâs just a rumor from one of âthoseâ kind of sites.
But⌠if in the not too distant future, DC Comics, Detective Comics Comics, is little more than Bat-books, I would not be shocked.
Thereâs some months where itâs like that now.

Oh wow, what I wouldnât give to be a fly on the wall for 1 of those! Perhaps someone will pull a Deadpool and some of the footage will just happen to show up online 
For real, any site thatâs pushing the comicsgate agenda has absolutely no worth and doesnât deserve to be promoted anywhere

Meh, comicsgate has some worth. Just donât get too into it or the anti-comicsgate crowd. But like everything there are good people on both sides. It is all internet BS afterall

No it really has no worth. The far-right fringe of Geekdom is Toxic as all get out!
And no there really arenât âgood people on both sidesâ the far-right is very very bad, bigoted and down right evil!
But letâs not get off topic any further!
Back on topic For the future of the DCEU, I hope for the best but will be ready for the worst. Only time will tell, but right now things seem pretty shaky.
But who knows maybe Black Adam will pull an Aquaman/Joker and make a billion! Probably not, but would be nice! Just have to wait and see.

Not sure how thatâs possible since I actually support more diversity in comics, which is the exact opposite of what they stand for

Considering how the Big Two have gotten LESS diverse in the last few years. There is a lack of diversity in genre at the big two. Itâs all more or less Superhero stuff with maybe a dash of horror in the line but even that is often put in conjunction with a Superhero story.
Where are the War Comics of old? Where are the Westerns? Where are the Romantic comics? This is the diversity in the line that is missing. Hell there really isnât any Fantasy comics in the current big two that donât involve some type of Superhero.
With the exception of the new 52 trying to bring back the War comics line of old. Even the up coming Sargent Rock mini is a mash up of war and horror. DC or Marvel havenât really tried to do a line of genre books. Hell, DC killing Vertigo was a death blow to the diversity of the line because it was an access point for non cape comics fans to read comics.
DC having most of their line being Batman or Batman related isnât really diversity. There needs to be more variety in the comics being published.

Thats not the type diversity heâs talking about and you know it!
Now lets stop trolling and get back on topic!
Back to the topic at hand: We really need Black Adam to perform well or WB will be hurting financially even more so then they are now!
I know I plan to go see Black Adam in theaters at least twice. But yeah hereâs hoping it can do big bucks at the box office!

The reviews are going to make or brake Black Adam. I think if Black Adam is marketed well and it looks cool then it will do fine. Yet in the long term DC needs a film worth rewatching and not a disposable film that you forget after a few days.
They need a Top Gun Maverick like hit in the long run.

On the Bright side Film wise Black Adam doesnât have any competition the first couple of weeks after its release so it should theoretically have at least 2-3 weeks where its the #1 film in the box office. But then Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in mid November will probably knock it off the perch.
But still if it has good legs/good reviews it should stay in the top 5 films for the box office for awhile.
Anywho just 57 days till its release and I for one canât wait!!
Maybe the movie just doesnât exist lol
It is hard to say.
One thing on these moving of release dates, David Zaslav saidâŚ
âThe objective is to grow the DC brand, to grow the DC characters,â he said. âBut also, our job is to protect the DC brand. And thatâs what weâre going to do.â
Zaslav name-checked âBlack Adam,â âShazam! 2â and âThe Flashâ as DC features that heâs âvery excited about.â
âWeâve seen them, we think theyâre terrific, and we think we can make them even better,â he said. (Zaslavâs mention of âThe Flash,â currently scheduled to debut June 2023, is particularly meaningful, as star Ezra Miller is facing multiple allegations of abuse and misconduct that neither the actor nor the studio have addressed publicly.)
The part about: âWeâve seen them, we think theyâre terrific, and we think we can make them even better."
When he first said that I assumed that translated to âweâre reshooting the endings.â
Or something like that, at least. And I just now noticed that he didnât mention Aquaman.
Either way, so I guess theyâre trying to make these flow smoothly into whatever they actually want to do? Maybe?
And I can understand and agree with him saying the infamousâŚ
âWeâre not going to launch a movie until itâs ready,â Zaslav said during the Q&A portion of the callâŚ
âWeâre not going to launch a movie to make a quarter and weâre not going to put a movie out unless we believe in it.â
âThese are brands that are known everywhere in the world,â he said of the DC characters. âAnd as part of that, weâre going to focus on quality. DC is something that we think we could make better and weâre focused on it now.â
I can totally understand that when it comes to their movies, the things that he green lights.
But these other things, I donât know how much longer you can keep them on the shelf.
Because that was that problem during the height of the pandemic: continually pushing these movies back costs money. Because I donât believe they pay for these huge movies out of pocket. No, they get loans for them.
And then after that first massive weekend they pay back those loans, and then start taking money for themselves. At least that how I understand itâŚ
And so when youâre just sitting on these movies, you have to keep telling them to wait until we release them to pay back the money we borrowed. And so I imagine at some point people want their money.
So you gotta do something with these movies at some point.
Of course, Iâm a bit of a masochist, so I would say just move on, take the PR hit, eat those hundreds of millions of dollars, and get started on your 10-year thing.
But I guess theyâre probably not going to do that.
But I say just cut it now, and make what sure whatever this new thing is⌠make sure itâs a banger, make sure itâs a winner. Because winning cures everything.
And at the end of the day, people just want to be entertained. And if they like what you put in front of them, I seriously doubt most will care about what happened in the past.
