9 Ways DC Could Respond To Spider-Man Joining The MCU
9. Bring Those Release Dates Forward
Filming on Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice concluded in 2014, yet you wont see the film until spring 2016. With Marvel now releasing a couple of movies a year at the same time as it expands into television, theres no chance anyones going to forget about that studio; meanwhile, Warner Bros. hasnt had a release out of its own DC movie universe since 2013s Man Of Steel. Man Of Steel is, FYI, the only DC Cinematic Universe movie from Warner Bros, compared to the ten Marvel has already released (itll be 12 by the time Batman V Superman, only the second DC movie-verse film, comes out). Marvels established dominance over the major forms of media at the moment makes Warner Bros. and DC look like pretenders - so why not take the Spider-Man news as an incentive to bring that Batman V Superman release forward to 2015 as a statement, and get a shift on with production of those other films? DC cant possibly lag behind any longer, not if it expects to stay in this fight with Marvel.
Lover of film, writer of words, pretentious beyond belief. Thinks Scorsese and Kubrick are the kings of cinema, but PT Anderson and David Fincher are the dashing young princes. Follow Brogan on twitter if you can take shameless self-promotion: @BroganMorris1
