New Gods is the new addition to the DCEU.
Ava DuVernay is stepping into the superhero universe. The filmmaker has come on board to direct “New Gods” at Warner Bros. as part of the studio’s DC Extended Universe. “New Gods,” based on the DC Comics series of the same name, is aimed at creating a new universe of properties for the studio.
DuVernay directed Disney’s “A Wrinkle in Time,” becoming the first woman of color in Hollywood to helm a live-action film with a production budget of $100 million.
The New Gods are natives of the twin planets of New Genesis and Apokolips. New Genesis is an idyllic planet ruled by the Highfather, while Apokolips is a dystopia filled with machinery and fire pits ruled by the tyrant Darkseid. New Genesis and Apokolips call themselves gods, living outside of normal time and space in a realm known as the Fourth World.

IMO the only way to reboot DCEU is to start making quality films like Christopher Nolan's Batman series, films that even non-comic-book readers would want to see. If I were the boss of WB I would propose to fire both HC and BA, find better choices for superman and batman (I really think Christian Bale is irreplaceable as batman but I guess he's done with the role), hire better writers to develop better storylines for each individual character, and, if possible, employ top directors like Nolan. DCEU has the potential of being the more "adult" choice of superhero movies in comparison to Marvels, which always seems to me to attract mainly the comic-book fans or kids.

Five films? Please! These people keep lying. ZS's fans say he has an eye for detail, but all he does is keep overusing symbolism/imagery/philosophy to seem deep. He can't put together a simple logical piece of story.
Why didn't WW help SM in MOS? How come did Lois and Lex figure out who SM was but BM couldn't? Why would any government leave alien tech lying around in the sea?

ZS wants us to believe that everything was planned. So the WW question is a very good question. What I want to know is how Lex found WW’s old pic. WW wasn’t active like SM. She was just Diana Prince, till Doomsday appeared. And the world has many people who look alike. So why would Lex think DP is the woman in some old pic? CK looks exactly like the gorgeous alien in blue suit, but nobody thinks he’s SM. And he works with other reporters. Aren’t reporters curious and inquisitive people? LOL

The eighteen months of hate ended with the name Martha. That was very, very deep. We should make a list of everything stupid in MOS, BvS and JL.

I didn't? Well feel free to remind me.
I don't believe the 5 film story either. BvS and JL are packed with easter eggs and hints about things that will happen in the next film. MOS only had one thing. I think the satelite had Wayne on it. That doesn't mean BM will be in the next film.

Does this read like someone who had a five film plan?
Read the discussion between a fan and Jay Oliva (storyboard for MOS, BvS, and WW) on Twitter.

I’m flattered. But what kind of loser spends the weekend online or reading comic crap? I have better things to do on the weekend. I have time to talk about comic crap from Monday to Friday.
Besides, I’m not interested in what ZS is so eager to explain. Take the spear, the crosses and the horses out of the story and the story will remain the same. I’m more interested in things that actually affect the story.
Tu es un cher. I hope that’s right. Google translate sucks.
No, it doesn’t read like someone who had a five film plan. Jay Oliva only has words. The only way BM can fight SM is with kryptonite. But there was no kryptonite in MOS. Kryptonite would have been a good easter egg or post-credit scene. So he had nothing planned.
Very good, Blue. I think BvS was the first film in ZS’s weird master plan. He went out of his way to let us know that everything is leading to Darkseid. I read somewhere that the Anti-Life Equation is in BvS. I think in the scene where SM kills BM in BW's dream.

No!!! He had no five film plan.
Daniel Alter is not just a fan. His Twitter page says that he’s the producer of Hitman. LOL

Drama! I’m loving this.
Every comic geek and guy out there want to see SM fight Shazam, Black Adam, Green Lantern, Thor, Hulk and other powerful beings. Some want to see him fight BM too. So having this dream or idea isn’t a plan.
BTW, I wouldn’t know why anybody would want to see SM fight BM. That’s stupid! They think kryptonite is the key, but it is not. Kryptonite doesn’t just make SM weak or take his powers. Kryptonite makes him sick and can and will kill him. So why would I want to see BM fight a sick alien? The MCEU won’t let CA fight Hulk or Thor. Hulk will fight Thor or a huge IM. CA will fight the normal IM.
Exactly! ZS's plan started with BvS.
A young CK must have heard about BM. ZS could have shown a young CK reading about BM in the papers or on the internet. CK could have told his father about a hero dressed as a bat to hide his ID while helping people. But nothing!

I'm impressed. Here is the article.

This is what I think happened.
We know that ZS is a big fan of BM. Like many comic geeks, he grew up dreaming about BM fighting SM. So when he was done with MOS and nobody knew who SM’s next adversary would be, he saw that as an opportunity to bring it up at the water cooler. Nothing wrong with that. Comic geeks everywhere talk about things like that at the water cooler, in the cafeteria, on the toilet, in the library and so on. LOL
But everything changed when MOS got mixed reviews and didn’t reach one billion $ as WB foolishly predicted. So ZS’s childhood wet dream suddenly was taken seriously. WB needed to add a popular hero to the SM sequel to reach that one billion mark. And who better than the beloved BM to help achieve that. So ZS had to find a way to add BM to the sequel to be SM’s adversary. By doing so, he forgot a few things.
Excuse me, but why did BM hate SM? BM said that “if there's even a one percent chance that he is our enemy we have to take it as an absolute certainty.” But what did SM do to confirm that one percent? If SM wanted to rule or destroy Earth, why did he fight his own people to protect it?
But let’s ignore all that, shall we? BM must fight SM. That’s ZS’s wet dream.
Now, with WB willing to add BM to the SM franchise and ZS’s weird ideas from his BM wet dreams, it was easy for him to come up with a three film plan and make BM the lead. Remember, JL was supposed to be part 1 and 2. Why is ZS suddenly saying he had a five film plan, is a mystery. Or maybe I should add the BM solo, SS, WW and Aquaman to the master plan? LOL
