Wonder Woman 3 kills the DC Reboot
2 years ago
As most of us know the recent Flash movie was ment to reset the DC Cinematic Universe to allow James Gunn to come in and unify the films under a new continuity. How ever seems the confusing cluster that the DCEU has been imparted NO lessons. Already Gunn has made it clear his Superman legacy film will feature at least a dozen heroes making their big screen debuts in a film supposedly focus on Superman. How ever the announcement of Wonder Woman 3 makes the whole idea of a "Reboot" a freaking joke. Wonder Woman 3 will be a direct sequel to Wonder Woman 1984 but ALSO be part of the new rebooted universe. Meaning Wonder Woman's history and experiences will not have changed but everyone else's will have? So out of the gate the Reboot universe will carry over continuity from the previous one and attempt to rush to a fully formed cinematic universe in it's very first film by introducing at least 7 C-list heroes. Now we have to wonder if Blue Beetle in the new continuity or the old? Will the coming Aquaman 2 be like Wonder Woman 3 a direct sequel straddling continuities? Was the Flash movie just and excuse to recast Batman and Superman?
Also Gunn has shown he can handle multiple heroes in a single movie, I'm not gonna write it off as a mistake; when all his movies so far have juggled multiple heroes with a wide range of personalities. I think the dude's earned the benefit of the doubt.
