Detective Comics Cinematic Universe (formerly Man of Steel)

Rumour mill is running at the moment saying that Josh Gad will possibly play the the Penguin in the Batman movie. Not linking to any articles because its just conjecture based on something he's said and I'm taking a chunk of salt with it.
As for the Batman movie, the details are a little thin on the ground at the moment, but a couple of sites think that the plot might resemble something similar to Arkham Origin. The idea is that its after the Justice League movie and Batman becomes more well known, Batman becomes the target of a bounty and assaulted by a number of assassins and mercenaries, hence Deathstroke.
But again I'm taking all this with a chunk of salt.

Wonder Woman was like Captain America with better production values but poorer writing and acting. That still makes it the first DC movie since Batman Begins that isn't really frickin' lame :o
Gal Gadot is well suited to the role and the supporting cast is decent but 70% of the dialogue was severely groan-inducing.
The antagonists were so-so. Action sequences were excellent in the beginning but really rubbish towards the end, with that stupid move where she deflects bullets being repeated over and over again like that video game move in Troy. Runtime was all right, it made for a less rushed movie but too much time was dedicated to the final act. I would've enjoyed seeing more antics with the rest of the team or in London. The philosophizing about Love was extremely clunky, I wish they'd done a better job of setting that up and weaving that theme through the movie.
Still, definitely go see it and let yourself regain some faith in DC. Don't see it in 3D

Just saw Wonder Woman. Definitely the best DC movie of this current run so far. I think I enjoyed the first act the most.

To be fair, that's not an especially high bar.
But several friends of mine have come back from seeing it and they have loved it, finally glad that their favourite character has gotten the film she deserved after 70 plus years.

So, I saw Wonder Woman today, and I'm quite pleased by it. Gal Gadot and Chris Pine give absolutely solid performances. The rest of the cast range from great, to meehhh... The pacing and antagonists of the movie seem out of place in a super hero film. But honestly... They are not the plot of the film. The story of the film isn't 'how Wonder Woman stopped World War I' but Diana's journey from wide eyed and childish love of mankind, through the horrors of war. Growing as a person and becoming a hero. The antagonists were there to move the plot along. They provide the spark, but are not the end goal.
