EW article about the film. For anyone still confused which universe it's a part of

quote:

Safran confirms that the events of Clayface predate Creature Commandos in the canon, and that the Clayface we meet in that HBO Max animated series is the same Matt Hagen we now meet here. (“Yes, it is the same Clayface,” he says.) Watkins’ still sees the character as an “amalgam” and his own thing, in his mind. “We’ve pinched elements from all over the place,” he says.

The film will also introduce Gotham City to the DCU, well before we meet the new Batman. Minghella’s John is one way of exploring that world. Minghella calls it a “childhood dream come true.” 


quote:

Speaking of Gunn, Watkins explains how “James and I wanted to create a Gotham that had a certain impressiveness and corruption to it and dirt to it, but also wasn’t murky. I like to have some color in the film and in the universe.”

I guess they are making a small scale grounded story, but I don't love just how much the love interest is involved here.

I also read he filmed the entire movie on a torn ACL apparently

DC having multiple universes is the dumbest shite ever.

2 isn't multiple. Battinson doesn't fit a comic accurate Batman movie

Makes sense since she's the doctor that gives him the product. Hopefully Ackie plays a compelling character

For some reason I thought this was going to be a TV show. Hopefully it's good.

The wiki says she's also dating a Gotham City police detective. So yay, love triangle sub plot. Hopefully that's a very small part of the movie.

Max Minghella as John Pearlman: A Gotham City police detective who is dating Caitlin

Wait so there is Gunn's DC Universe, Reeves DC Universe and now an animated/live action DC Universe?

Hollywood promotes interracial relationships more than the populace engages in them ...

What did I win?

For now. I'm guessing Ellison will either combine them all or start over with his own choices

The animated films are in the mainline DCU if designated as such. This has been the set up since Gunn took over.

Reeves has his movie and Penguin series as separate under elseworlds

There's the DCAU, which is the animated films that don't appear to have ever slowed down. By far the most consistently awesome films they've been putting out.

Then there's Reeves' Batman universe, which they should have scrapped.

Then there's Gunn's universe, which does include some animated projects.

I take blame. I hope I haven't ruined the thread.
