Booked #44 - Keanu Reeves, Dream Bestie

For a comic fans, this slate of up coming movies from now until 2020 is a pretty insane treat, whether the movies turn out great or not. The sheer notion that we get to see some of our favourite characters and stories come to life on the big screen is something our younger selves couldn't even dream of. Between the big two giants we have over 20 movies and that only counts the DC Warner and Marvel Studios owned movies. That's mind blowing!
 
Unfortunately one company has been pretty consistent in giving us possibly the greatest comic films of all time, while the other has muddied up their waters with absolute cinematic blunders, rushed and confused franchise building and that "no jokes rule" rumour painted a pretty cold picture. Yes, it's no contest the Marvel has decimated its competitor DC/Legendary, a company that is so seemingly desperate to have what Marvel has going, that they fast tracked an expansive universe on the back of a seriously flawed film.
 
On our newest episode, Stevil, Rob and J.J. Webb breakdown each companies releases spanning the next six years and compare the approaches to how the slated films were unveiled to the public. With a few of the announcements coming out of nowhere, we form our opinions of what will be needed for some of these movies to be successful, what some of our dream casting ideas are and it's pretty safe to say that we're all hoping this Wonder Woman movie is going to be huge.
