Seeing as yesterday I released the list of Marvel's production slate, it was only fair to devote today to D.C. Sad to say, D.C. is not fairing so well. With the fact that the Justice League movie has been tabled due to George Miller's financing problems, well... at least we have "The Dark Knight" being released on July 18th, right?
So, here's where it all stands:
•- Justice League. As said above, director George Miller ("Mad Max" trilogy, "Happy Feet") is having finance options. Adam Brody and Common were attached to the project. This is officially tabled.
•- Watchmen. Directed by Zack Snyder ("300") this is a murder mystery set in an alternate 1985 where superheroes are a part of everyday society, and someone wants them all discredited. Carla Gugino, Patrick Wilson, and Billy Crudup star. Opens March 6, 2009.
•- Superman: Man of Steel. Set for June 2009 release. No further details.
•- Wonder Woman. A woman brought up in an Amazonian kingdom to be like the Greek gods and goddesses comes to the cityscape. No further details available.
That's it. Huh.
Well, go see "The Dark Knight" on July 18, 2008!

you ever see MYSTERY MEN"????
GREAT pithy lines from that one...
"you put your fathers skull in a BOWLING BALL!?!?!?"
Janeanne: "No OF COURSE NOT! I had one of the guys at the Pro shop do it!".
The Dark Knight movie is going to rock (I hope).
BTW: What is with the curse of Superman. Just about every actor who portrays him ends up screwed up somehow.
Wasn't trying to insinuate a Simpson reference here.
I agree with Rory. The DC characters of the 1960s and 1970s were usually pretty flat; that was until they started addressing cultural drug abuse with the Green Lantern and Green Arrow comics.
DC characters seemed to be just straightforward problem solvers. The personal things they wrestled with were always pretty banal; such as Superman always having to save Lois or Jimmy from physical danger. Their character expositions were just pretty shallow; with some few exceptions.
