Remove Steppenwolf and Zeus from cast section

Both of these characters are only in two films, one of which involves their portrayal through CGI only. In the case of Steppenwolf, he's only in the home release version of the film, again as a CGI-only character. I think these characters are both extremely minor and don't warrant inclusion even if they were portrayed by actors in both films, but the fact that they were CGI leads me to think they should be removed.

I'm fine with removing them. Also, this table is going to need to be restructured soon, with the increasing number of films making it overbearingly scrunched. Prefall 09:41, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Trench

Why was the information for The Trench removed from the In Development section? It was announced like all of the other films there, has writers attached, and has even been spoken about by both James Wan and Peter Safran. FaceOffTournament (talk) 05:46, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Averages

All franchises should have their averages in the critical reception section removed . This should be done to show consistency and lack of bias fan favouritism. It should be done to prevent trolling and or agendas from causing edit warring . It makes sense to apply the no average rule to all franchise films . Lord of the rings , Harry Potter Wizarding world main page had their averages removed - the same should apply to marvel and dc and their respective main pages . The ongoing belief is that averages add no meaning to an article or critical reception in any way and is acctually original work . What makes marvel so special that they have averages unless theirs a pro disney agenda going on at Wikipedia. Despite my belief which contradicts what expert editors think , averages are being removed . I hope this issue is resolved.

The Marvel articles (films and TV series) already removed averages as well. I think this article is one of the last ones that has it. I've gone ahead and WP:BOLDLY removed it. Prefall 10:13, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Man of Steel 2, Green Lantern Corps and Justice League (Reboot) in the future table

J.J. Abrams signed a millionaire contract with Warner Bros to join to the DCEU. An this are the films that he is going to do with his company. The Man of Steel sequel, the Green Lantern Corps films and the Reboot of the Justice League.They don′t have realese date. but the films ar confirmed by DC & Warner. And Geoff Johns is working on the Green Lantern Corps script.Elmisterioso1979 (talk) 21:14, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure? I took a look and it seems like they're nothing more than rumors. We also don't add films to the future table unless they have a confirmed release date. JOE BRO 64 21:17, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing has been reported about Abrams joining a DC project, just speculation that he may. Johns was hired to write GLC in June 2018. Prefall 21:19, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Batman vs. New Gods

Recently there was a discussion regarding whether New Gods is in the DCEU. I personally found it a bit ridiculous to single it out and exclude all of its information simply because there was no concrete confirmation that it takes place in the DCEU, although there's no reason to think it won't be. Not to mention, there are other films listed here that haven't explicitly been said to be in the universe either. But fine, I'll accept that. But I have to ask: By that logic, why is The Batman's information still included? That film has had more evidence that it won't be in the DCEU since Matt Reeves joined the project, especially with today's news of Jeffrey Wright in talks to play Commissioner Gordon, yet it remains on this page. What's up with that? FaceOffTournament (talk) 22:58, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, Reeves explicitly said The Batman is going to take place in the DCEU. The only sources I've seen that state it won't be DCEU are unreliable and can't be used. JOE BRO 64 23:07, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, touche. Although that was in 2017 and since then he's made choices that contradict those statements. But yeah, those tweets are reason enough to keep The Batman here for now. Thanks, Joe! New Gods should absolutely be on this page, though! FaceOffTournament (talk) 01:34, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
