Disney own the rights to them, so they can’t just be snapped up. As mentioned above, there’s talk that Charlie Cox will be brought into the MCU.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Snapped up as in the Netflix deal was due to expire this year I believe meaning that some other service could have bid for it, assuming that Disney are willing to sell the rights to it and not put a Daredevil show on Disney +. Or if they put him in the MCU which seems quite possible now.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Logan, origins,Wolverine and Deadpool do not count. If that's the case, we can include BVS and Justice League in Batman's portfolio.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The first Wolverine movie is called X-Men Origins: Wolverine so I'm counting that as an X-Men movie. Logan features both Wolverine and Professor X so I'm also counting that as an X-Men movie.

You mentioned standalone Batman and Superman movies which neither Dawn of Justice or Justice League are, as they're clearly team up movies.

Is it a competition between Marvel and DC then?

If so then I'm willing to bet that the next few years sees much more enjoyable content from DC. By contrast at Marvel you can look forward to Captain Marvel heading the Avengers with a female Thor. Can't wait
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's hope DC can pull up their socks. As it stands now Marvel have torn them a new one like never before and from the little I know of what is coming, DC will continue in the shadow of Marvel.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


DC movies are going in a whole new different direction that isn't restrained by just one cinematic universe as we've seen with Joker and how we'll see in the upcoming Matt Reeves Batman trilogy. Exciting times ahead.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
DC DID go in a different direction and it ended up blowing up in their face. Now they are course correcting by doing standalone movies first, which is what Marvel have been doing. You mentioned the multiple universes, how can you be excited for this when they have yet to build ONE successful universe? Bare in mind, even the MCU has not attempted doing a multiverse.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
The multiverse is definitely the way to go for DC. It's already paid dividends with Joker grossing a billion and there's reason to believe that the Matt Reeves Batman trilogy will also be very successful.

Not being constrained to just one cinematic universe will allow Warner Bros to release a whole bunch of movies and trilogies that don't have to all neatly tie in with each other like the MCU. Allowing for much more creative freedom.

They weren’t willing to sell the rights.

No contradiction at all. Your criteria was for standalone Batman and Superman movies which by definition is a movie with only one of those characters in it. Therefore Dawn of Justice cannot ever be either a standalone Batman or Superman movie.

If you want to count Dawn of Justice as a Batman movie then that's fine because it features Batman in it and in the title but it cannot be a "standalone" Batman movie which was your original criteria.

Does is really matter? Big names like Batman and X-Men will continually have movies made about them because they are so popular.

The only concern should be whether they are good, rather than how many are being made.

You have a link for that? That's the first time I've heard that Disney aren't willing to sell the rights to Daredevil.

Read it a couple of years back. They have to wait for the rights to revert back to them and they’ll then use him how they see fit. Part of the MCU could be part of the plan, lots of rumours they could use him as part of the Spider-Man deal with Sony.

Either way, there doesn’t seem to be any appetite to sell the distribution rights for Daredevil to be used in another series by someone else. Given the popularity of the Netflix series, it makes sense Disney would want to use the character.

Guv, yep agree with that. I think DC will be best served just keeping them as standalone movies. Superb makes a good point about having creative license, but it’s just more than they’ve seemed unable to actually produce a cohesive universe, rather than being hamstrung.

What evidence do you have that points to the multiverse being the way to go? They haven't even built a successful single universe yet you believe they can build a multiverse. The Joker is an else world story, it isn't tied to any universe and the fact that it done so well was because it was a good movie.

Warner Brothers didn't fail because they were constrained to one universe, they failed because they had no plan, no ideas and no real desire to produce good movies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I posted two links before from comic book geek channels on YouTube. Scroll back to about three or four days ago.

And an elseworld story is a multiverse story in this context. Same thing. It means that it's a story taking place in it's own universe. Or in this case a bunch of movies, all unrelated.

Ok I haven't heard anything about Disney not being willing to sell the rights of the TV series. Also Disney + isn't exactly the place for a dark, violent Daredevil show I wouldn't have thought.

All the rumours have pointed towards Daredevil being used in the films. We’ll see, but apparently Feige is keen on bringing him into the fold. That would indicate Disney aren’t willing to sell the rights, otherwise they’d have extended with Netflix.

Vincent D'Onofrio should get his own film

That Kingpin is just incredible

Yep he’s fantastic.

He should have been the eventual final boss for the Defenders really

I wouldn't have brought him back just for Daredevil S3

I mean its great they got Sigourney Weaver and all. She's an icon. But nah wasn't what I wanted to see.

In fact I dont think I would have ever revealed the true leader of the Hand.

They were always hamstrung by the fact Iron Fist is a bad, lazily designed character. He just seems to be a collection of troupes from other more successful heroes.

posted on 7/7/20

The frustrating thing for me was that they were finally starting to get Iron Fist right after a horrendous first season. The only saving grace was Jessica Henwick's character.

I enjoyed Luke Cage and thought the first season of Jessica Jones was terrific. I also enjoyed the Punisher.

The Defenders however was a bit of a mess imo.

The bigger issue for all these shows though is that each season was probably two episodes too long.
