Yeah most deffo but this part makes me want to believe it so much. Evangelion live action would be a dream. Pokemon eh not so much. lol.
Another round of rumour. Again take with a hint of salt.
reply to swapping WW with JL dates.
other tibidts:
Sounds fud. I thought the Wonder Woman small bits were good and it was well rec'd. Not sure what he's talking about with that?
is there even a shred of evidence to back up this bugs guy?
These people claiming to have the dirt on the most anticipated geek films always come out of the woodwork at times like this when we know jack shit and are hungry for any info at all. Been through this song and dance ten times too many. There must have been a dozen of these type of people leading up to SW:TFA, and how many of them had legit info? Yeah, you know the answer.

Ugh, those latest rumors make me genuinely ill. I don't think anyone will actually care if they ignored a lot of the dumb decisions they made in BatsVSupes and Man of Steel
That rumor has been going around for months now. Maybe about a year, even. I remember Kevin Smith and Marc Bernardin talking about it on Fatman on Batman ages ago. So, it's nothing really new, and is possibly true.

I don't even know what that means in this instance. DC universe? It's own universe? Throw it in with another franchise down the line?

A lot of it sounds like bullshit from a Marvel nut to trying to further undermine the state of the DCCU (not that it needed further undermining).

uhhh except he shits on marvel movies and their direction in those same posts.
not saying this guy is credible, it's all just fascinating bullshit to read imo, but he's far from a marvel fanboy.
What did he mean by this?

Since these are anonymous posters, can we not use default male pronouns? How about just they, or it.
Ex. "It is speaking out its ass"

I have a feeling that this 'insider' is probably either a) an intern or the PA of someone lower down the food chain at WB or, most likely, b) a fanboy with marginally more industry knowledge than most.
Most of his stuff doesn't just sound right to me. I don't understand how BvS under performing at the box office would impact a Looney Tunes film of shorts (sounds great, never going to happen) getting green lit never mind financed.
Also, all those anime projects just sound like the usual suspects off a fanboy's wish list. I know Disney of all people nearly got a Sailor Moon film going in the mid to late 90's but what would an adaptation of that even look like today?
Though the link in the OP doesn't even work anymore so presumably 4chan (EDIT - ha, that's even worse) didn't believe this either. Though, out of curiosity, what was this supposed New 52 on HBO rumour? It isn't in the OP and the link isn't working.

My apologies, he lost me at "I'm bored today and work is such a shitshow"
Doesn't sound like somebody who would be privy to such info, tbh.
Like I said before, leaks that contain highly specific information and highly obscure information are more often than not bullshit. His leaks contain large does of both.

That sounds fake to me. I think the thing that put it over the top was the "rising talent Rebecca Sugar." Correct me if I'm wrong, but my impressions of of /tv/ are that they don't particularly like Sugar because of the work Steven Universe has done in regards to gender roles and LGBTQ representation. The way the above is phrased it's almost designed to get a rise out of people and it seems more like trolling than anything else.
Outside that, the anime shit seems cynical enough to be belivable. It's not implausible Disney is waiting for Hayao to be removed from the picture so that they can make live action Ghibli movies and make bank in the Japanese markets and other places with millenials who grew up to them. But, on the other, what studio is willing to throw hundreds of millions of dollars on a niche Japanese cartoon in order to do it justice and not alienate the inbuilt audience that comes with the name? Stuff like Evangelion or Nausicaa or even Gundam require a lot of money just to keep things semi-accurate and that seems like too much for a potential audience that seems too small to cater too.

It's also interesting that he mentions the Pokemon rights going to WB..., a few days after that article in the Hollywood Reporter. It doesn't seem like he's privy to any insider info at all.
EDIT - Having read through the whole thing on 4chan (urgh) I can tell you that the poster has made enough smaller mistakes for me to realise that he is full of shit. His "I don't know why we're making Blade Runner 2" comment would be the final straw because Warners aren't making it. They are just distributing it in North America for Alcon which is fully financing and producing the film. They also did the recent Point Break remake.

-- The issue I have is that some of the information is hardly a leak and in fact derived from what was already suggested in BvS, such as:
-- This stuff seem like it has been included to give the impression that everything else is correct.
-- Other information is too obscure to be verified now or even after official details are released. E.g. In respect to
Darkseid
-- So which is it? A "force of nature" and the "classic look" are inherently contradictory and in my view cannot be reconciled.
-- Similarly the stuff about Cyborg sounds even more made up:
-- A film scheduled to be released in 2020 is already effectively on the "backburner" by Hollywood standards. Further, any comic book film fan can tell you that it's highly doubtful it will ever be produced. But if it is, it will have a black director. Yeah sure. The character doesn't strongly represent, resonate or identify with African-Americans to begin with.

Lol. Warner Bros is gonna feel the sting from BvS underperforming, but they're not so strapped for cash that it's going to require them to cancel a completely unrelated Looney Tunes film.
Zack Snyder storyboards all of his films. That's not unusual.
Chris Nolan has no involvement with any of the DC films past MoS.
I highly doubt Nolan was in talks on Akira.
Studios don't just pump money into something as an "apology."
WW swapping with JL Part 1 is literally impossible. There's no way JL will be ready by next June. Also, studios don't do rewrites this late in the game or reshoots as massive as he's suggesting is occurring with Wonder Woman.

Yeah, of all the bits of bullshit in this leak, this is the worst.
If this stuff was first leaked on GAF, the leaker would have been crucified. But for 4chan it's par for the course.
Another round of rumour. Again take with a hint of salt.
Wait, is he talking about Nolan or Terrio here? It seems like he's talking about Nolan but that wouldn't make much sense since Nolan's involvement with BvS was marginal at best. I thought Terrio was brought in to do quality control on the BvS script, hence the rewrite on Goyer's original script.
I dunno, that post is confusing to me.
About Akira, I did read a rumor last year about Nolan looking to do a film adaptation, but nothing else came out of that so I'm calling bullshit on that rumor.

He's talking about Chris Nolan because he's a fucking idiot that doesn't even understand that Chris Nolan had nothing to do with BvS.

THIS is the real Megaton.

Anyway this all sounds dumb and I'm only looking forward to Batfleck's solo movie at this point.

Gundam should be adapted, drone technology it's mainstream, war technology it's mainstream, drone operators are mainstream, there's a lot there that can play well with modern audiences.
I don't know much, but the budgets can be a problem depending on the adaptation.

Everything they talk about in regards to anime just makes me think of letting my dead grandparents writing the script. It's like you show them the first five episodes and then give them 100 million to make a movie. Disney is going to utterly destroy Ghibli if they get the chance, by adding songs so they can make a broadway musical out of it. WB will probably whitewash the hell out of One-Punch Man ala Dragonball. I don't see a good scenario for any of these properties.
Thanks. Lol Jehovah's witness Supes xD
Christopher Nolan and his wife were executive producers on the film. Last I heard, he was in the editing room too with David Brenner for some time. Christopher Nolan was also the one who engaged the screenwriter about the ending.
Edit: Their names can clearly be seen in the intro, and during the end credits.

Originally, when it was a sequel. That appeared to be the case.
From the Press Release about a MoS sequel:
But they appear to have left the project by the time it became BvS.
From the Jesse Eisenberg Press Release:
Maybe they helped out unofficially, but I didn't see their credit in the film, or in any official online source.
(IMDB doesn't count, it's user edited, those credits won't be correct until the Bluray is out.)
Nolan's production company Syncopy wasn't credited either, while they were on MoS.
No problem it's a great read He's a really really tragic character.

Yesterday my wife and I saw BvsS and got tons of evil looks as we couldn't help but crack up laughing when young Bruce was levitate by the bats. Then the Martha crap. Then the "friend" crap. Then the eye rolling Superman death. Just so god damn bad.
Dream sequence or not, it set the stage for a hilariously awful film, no way in hell JL will be any good if the same minds are in charge of its production. They have something literally miss wired in their heads when it comes to making a good superhero movie.
