REPORT – Ava DuVernay To Direct NEW GODS For Warner Bros.

3166

Well, you Darkseid fans are finally going to get to see him in a DC movie…but it may not be the way you expected/wanted.

Per DEADLINE.COM, Ava DuVernay (A WRINKLE IN TIME) is close to a deal Warner Bros to direct a big-budget film based on Jack Kirby’s THE NEW GODS.

Apparently, this project is going to be its own thing.  Here’s what the trade reported…

There is no connection to the other DC worlds being exploited for film right now by Warner Bros, where studio boss Toby Emmerich and his newly installed DC production president Walter Hamada are moving forward with new approach to filmmakers on their DC-based fare.

Thank (new) god!  If this is its own thing — and it should be —  GOOD decision WB!

With all that said, here’s hoping that Henry Cavill’s Superman cameos in this film.  And what the hell…have Ben Affleck’s Batman take a boom tube to Apokolips just, well, because, you know? 😉

Kidding aside, if done right, I’m totally down for this.

Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
