Warners and DC (both Time Warner entities) have labored in vain over another Superman, and launches for
Wonder Woman,
The Flash,
Green Arrow and
Green Lantern. It's maddening for fans as rival Marvel Comics has successfully begun financing its own slate of pics, first with
Iron Man, then a reboot of
The Incredible Hulk this summer.
DC doesn't have a separate film division the way rival Marvel does, which is moving forward with an
Iron Man sequel and adaptations of
Thor,
The First Avenger: Captain America and the superhero team-up
The Avengers for 2010 and 2011.
That means Warners doesn't have a sole cheerleader for its comicbook projects, or someone to work closely with filmmakers to develop them.
"We're having a lot of internal discussions on it," Horn says. "We haven't committed to any change at DC at this point," adding that both Warners and DC are committed to turning "the properties into viable movie product in an intelligent way so that we introduce them like planes on a runway. They have to be set up the right way and lined up the right way and all take off one at a time and fly safe and fly straight."
