a few weeks ago it was announced that Man of Steel 2 aka
Batman vs Superman will be released in May 2016 instead of July 2015. Now
considering that the 17th of July 2015 already seemed to far it is obvious that
mst fans are upset because they will have to wait longer to see Superman face
to face with Batman. The official explaination of WB was to give:
"the
filmmakers time to fully realize their vision,
given the complex visual nature
of the story."
These claims leave us with many doubts because we all assumed
that since they had already shot some scenes that the vision was already
complete. So all we can do is speculate on why the release date was delayed.
DC/WB once again shows lack of organizational skills. They have failed to plan
their cinematic universe and quite frankly I think they only want one because
they saw the economic success that Marvel is having with their universe. So far
WB has shown lack of confidence in their dc properties and that is why we've
only got either superman or Batman movies. When they in fact tried to release a
dc based movie with Green Lantern they failed box office-wise and story-wise
even though I think that the GL movie had several reedeamable qualities(if you
wanna know my point of view on the GL movie click here: http://theheroblogger.blogspot.it/2014/01/the-redeemable-qualities-of-green.html).
Few weeks before the
announcement WB confirmed that they had hired Argo's screenwriter to review the
script and that was the first sign of them having problemsy. Maybe Chris Terrio
wasn't happy with script and decided to make changes to the whole story and to
the dialogue resulting in the delayed release date.
There are also rumors of many JLA members appearing in the
movie.
Apart from Wonder Woman and Batman that were confirmed in the movie,
there were rumors of Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, The Flash and even John
Stewart(Green Lantern) cameos and that might be a reason why they've decided to
take more time to assess the whole story.
The last possibility is that they have decided to shoot
Justice League back to back with Man of Steel 2 and if they made this decision
now then they will need time to organize everything properly.
One other big problem for the movie now is that the new
release date is withing 2 weeks of two other superhero movies which are X-Men
Apocalypse and an untitled Marvel Project so I believe that sooner or later the
release date will be changed again since it would mean economical suicide for
al three films to open on the same month.
Overall it is a really bad news for us movie nerds but it is
better to get a good movie in 2016 than to get a too crowded, too rushed movie
in 2015.
Hopefully Man of Steel 2 will be awesome and let's hope that DC gets
this cinematic universe up and running like Marvel did.
