DC Comics Movie Update: Watchmen, Flash & Shazam ! (joss whedon mention)

Sunday 18 June 2006, by Webmaster

Scott Weinberg writes: "What with the Marvel Heroes always getting a lot of extra attention, the arrival of "Superman Returns" allows the other comics giant to get a little extra spotlight. Yesterday DC president Paul Levitz spilled a few beans regarding Joss Whedon’s "Wonder Woman" adaptation, and now come several more beans regarding Batman, Watchmen, Flash, Shazam, and (yes) Aquaman.

From IGNFF: ""Warner’s is looking at Watchmen right now," Levitz comments. "They are looking for a director I believe at the moment."

"It is a creative property that is very, very specifically designed for the medium in which it is published. I think it’s a real challenge to break out and do it. I think they had a very interesting script and certainly [Paul Greengrass] is a great director, so I had some hope for the Paramount one, but I hope Warner will be able to put something great around it."

"There’s a long list under development and announced things that are being worked on include: Flash with David Goyer writing, Shazam and Pete Segal is directing that for New Line, we have another Batman coming of course, New Line is developing out of our newer properties [such as] Y the Last Man... Warner Brother’s has a draft of other ones [including] Under the Roof. A lot of stuff [is] going on."

  • Please forgive me for being geeky, but for YEARS all we had were DC characters! Superman & Batman had thier movies. Hell there was even a Flash tv show for a short while! Wonder Woman went on for only three seasons, but it was there.

    I know there was an old Punisher movie and a set of Craptain America films. I suppose there was Hulk too, but i think that was mainly on the small screen. Marvel got into the entertainment industry late in the game, but once they did there was a wealth of characters there to choose from.

    Anyway, i personally say it was time Marvel got thier collective seat warmers in gear and im glad they did! Dont hate them for being better.
