Wayne looked at the press group composed of at least seventy or eighty people in front of him. Except for the flashing "click" sounds that kept flashing, everyone was waiting quietly, waiting for him to continue to disclose more information.

"Perhaps some people have noticed that whether it is "Joker" or "Batman: The War Moment", they are actually laying the groundwork for the story that appears later. I think some careful movie fans who watch the movie repeatedly have discovered that in the story of "Joker", there is an interaction with Bruce Wayne in his youth, and at the end of "Batman: The War Moment", there is also an Easter egg about Arthur!"

As his voice rang out again, all the reporters understood that the other party would inevitably burst out more key information, and these would definitely become the guarantee of their own sales. Some reporters hurriedly opened the notebook and recorded the shorthand, and some reporters were stretching their recorder forward with force, hoping to clearly record all the other party's words.

Since he had already said the beginning, Wayne raised his eyebrows to everyone and continued happily: "Yes, there will be no separate characters in the DC comic adapted movie. Although each film will have a theme, it will also involve other characters, just like Bruce Wayne and Arthur who have appeared in front.

I can reveal the main content of "The Dark Knight" in advance. The two absolute protagonists of this film are Arthur and Bruce Wayne. The story of this movie will revolve around them. However, I want to leave a suspense for everyone here. Let's guess what other DC characters will appear in the film?"

"Wayne, are we..." The reporter who just asked the Los Angeles Times couldn't wait to continue asking: "Can we understand that all the characters in DC comics may have intersections on the big screen?"

"That's right!"

Wayne nodded with great certainty. "I think movie fans will definitely want to see the characters they liked in comic books when they were childhood, one by one, from the big screen. Here we can tell everyone that I have designed a complete plan for DC, and Bruce Wayne and Arthur are just the beginning.

To put it another way, you may better understand, a universe independent of comics, a DC movie universe that appears on the big screen! As long as the characters you can imagine will live, work, and struggle in this universe."

The scene suddenly became quiet. If you have read comics, you will definitely not be unfamiliar with this term. Since the birth of superhero comics, this concept has appeared. At least in most people's minds, this is definitely not a new term that is difficult to understand.

It's just that the concept of the movie universe has never been officially proposed in Hollywood.

What made everyone stunned was that until now everyone realized that the other party had already started to lay out all this today when the filming of "The Joker" in 1993.

Now it seems that at least it has been confirmed that nothing can stop the construction of the DC universe, otherwise the other party would not have said the entire plan casually.

"Bruce, please ask." Another reporter with the New York Times work permit hanging around his neck immediately looked at the Warner Bros.'s issuing director. "Have Warner Bros. passed this universe plan long ago? Can you talk about what specific plans Warner Bros. has for the DC universe?"

"I can answer your first question first, yes."

Bruce Rosenblum nodded and smiled at the reporter asking questions. "Warner Bros. had agreed to Wayne's plan to connect with Joker and even build the DC movie universe before the filming and production of "Batman: The Moment".

As we all know, the superhero movie genre was just a niche movie genre before Wayne appeared, and it is still the case even now. It is precisely because of director Greenberg's great performance on "The Joker" that gave Warner Bros enough confidence, and the result is obvious that "Batman: The Moment of War" still lives up to expectations.

I think "The Joker" is completely enough to make all the debates between art films and commercial films meaningless in Wayne! In his works, even the comic adaptation type of superheroes will never lack discussions on human nature, law, social issues, and rights. Movies can not only ensure the existence of artistic nature, but also bring some warnings to movie fans!

Warner Bros. can here guarantee to all media and movie fans that the production style of the DC comic adaptation series will follow the style designed by Wayne and will never become a brainless summer popcorn. The entire universe will also follow the Greenber format movie style, making the entire DC movie universe full of dark artistic quality!”

"Director Greenberg, will all the actors in Batman's first come back and appear in the second movie?"

A reporter behind him, obviously, wanted to know more about the stars who made the fans care more, and once again threw the problem in front of Wayne.

"Yes, it's now certain that the main actors in "The War Moment" will continue to star in the second "The Dark Knight."

First, he nodded to the reporters with certainty. This aspect is not confidential. Later, when all the actors return, in order to create greater influence and topicality for "The Dark Knight", he will inevitably hold a press conference again. The Warner Bros. publicity department has produced a series of promotional plans.

Then he deliberately paused for a moment, made a thoughtful look, and continued: "And more can be revealed, "The Joker" Nicholas Cage will also return to this movie to play against Christian Bale."

"God..."

"sharp!"

With Wayne's answer, it caused a low discussion among reporters in the Provisional News Hall. When everyone learned that these two characters who created brilliant appearances would appear in a movie at the same time, they suddenly realized how attractive this would be to the majority of movie fans.

Not to mention those fans who keep walking into the theater and repeatedly watched "The Joker" and "Batman: The War Moment", even some of the reporters on the scene suddenly had a fatal sense of expectation for the upcoming "Batman: The Dark Knight".

Everyone realized that as long as this news was released, it would definitely cause terrifying discussion and expectation among the popular movie fans. It has to be said that Warner Bros. and Wayne really understand movies very much.

The subsequent questions were as if all the reporters had a tacit understanding. They started with the gun aimed at Wayne, trying every means to take out more content related to "The Dark Knight" from him, whether it was the cast or the main body and theme of the film.

As long as the specific story of the film is not involved, Wayne will give answers that will basically satisfy both parties. The purpose of this project launch conference is to attract more attention for "The Dark Knight" and tell potential fans that the movie you are looking forward to will begin to be produced soon.

Therefore, even if he doesn't like annoying media very much, he rarely gives the answer patiently this time.

The press conference lasted for nearly two hours before the staff announced the end of the reluctance of countless reporters. Wayne had already said everything he should say. As for how the media would report it, it was not what he was concerned about.

Admittedly, there was something more important waiting for him. After a brief conversation with Bruce Rosenblumer and Charles Rowan, he got up again to a relatively small conference room, where the core behind-the-scenes team surrounding him was ready for a meeting.

After briefly introducing Charles Rowan to everyone, he began to assign tasks habitually. With the stability of the core team behind the scenes over the years, basically everyone knows the work they should be responsible for. A stable and efficient team is the main reason why Wayne is not afraid of any shooting difficulties.

While he and the members of the behind-the-scenes team began to discuss and determine the preparations before the shooting, the various topics he threw out at the press conference today also sparked countless topics in an instant under the reports of dozens of large and small media.

Of course, there is no shortage of Warner Bros. It attracted countless people's attention in less than a day. Townsend Rossman, the new CEO of the 20th Century Fox, who has been paying attention to Wayne's actions, was the fastest-reported one.

"Dc movie universe, I know!"

In the office of Twentieth Century Fox, Townsend Rossman threw the newspaper he was watching on the desk in front of him with one hand.

Perhaps others would be amazed when they saw this report, marveling at how early Wayne and Warner Brothers had for the DC superhero layout, but here he did not feel any surprise at all. When he visited the Ventura County Farm and had a deep conversation with Wayne, he had already guessed the young man's layout for DC.

What’s funny is that other people and production companies in the circle have always thought that DC superheroes will be trilogy series one by one. In fact, most people have guessed that there will be many sequels in superheroes, but few people probably think that this is not a separate sequel, but a movie universe with an overall planning.

The two represent completely different things, and they can even be said to be very different. If it were a trilogy series, although Warner Brothers, who holds the copyright of all the characters in DC, would not be able to stop making a big profit, because with Wayne, the superhero master, the success rate of the movie will always be guaranteed.

But be aware that whenever a character series is completed and the next character series is opened, there will inevitably be unpredictable risks. Only after the first part of other characters is successful will the subsequent sequels be guaranteed.

But if it is a whole universe, things will change exactly the opposite. A character's movie is mixed with information from other characters. Townsend Rossman could think that as long as the previous movie is successful, it will inevitably lead to more characters, and the success rate is increasing.

This will make movie fans pass on their love for the first song to all the movies that follow. As long as there are no flaws in the shooting, it will not only not cause the loss of fans, but will also further attract more people to join in. The more you shoot it later, the more attractive it will increase exponentially.

The timeline doesn't need to be too far. Just think about the scene of Warner Bros. successfully unfolding the DC universe a few years later, Townsend Rossman seemed to see a behemoth that would make all production companies look up to, monopolizing all markets related to superheroes with an unparalleled absolute advantage.

However, when he thought of the difficulties, he frowned, took a cigar, and murmured to himself: "If you want to show the DC movie universe and mix all the characters together like a pot of soup, there are too many difficulties to face, it's really too difficult! Wayne, what do you think...?"
