Geoff Johns Reassures DC Universe Connection
Geoff Johns Reassures DC Fans That The Universe Is Still Intact.
Today Geoff Johns talked on Twitter about how each film in the DC Universe adds to the overall story. The reason for his new statement is because last week he also tweeted that Aquaman isn't concerned about tieing into each film before it. From that many DC fans began worrying about whether or not this DC Universe will stay intact, or if it's all falling apart. It's important that we fans understand that he means each film will try to be the best standalone film, but still acknowledges what happened before it. For example, Wonder Woman was set in World War I, but at the beginning of the film it ties into Batman v. Superman with the old picture of her in World War I.
Small tie-ins like that are very important when continuing a whole universe becasue then it raises questions on who was where during certain events. Marvel is starting to tie-in their films better with explaining that Thor was dealing with Ragnarok while Captain America Civil War was going on. They did fall short though when Iron Man 2 came out because they were just concerned with setting up the Avengers that they didn't give a solid sequel the the smash hit Iron Man. So in turn, Geoff Johns is right when he says the Aquaman movie isn't concerned on just being setup for future DC films because it had to succeed at being a solid movie in itself. Then, put things in here and there since the film after Aquaman is Shazam, maybe some kind of post-credit, but the film has to be a great stand alone movie.
If they have back to back to back great standalone movies, then it will add to the overall appeal and quality of the ensemble movies. It will also have us coming back for not just DC movies but comic book movies in general and the tide raises all ships. It hasn't been confirmed just yet but it's rumored that Justice League will be just a little over two and a half hours. That should be enough time to introduce us to each character and by the end we will hopefully be attached to each character so we can get excited for their standalone films. As always thank you for taking time out of your day to read this topic I discussed.
