Before Justice League hit theaters in November, there had been reports that if the movie had tanked, it could very well alter the course of the DCEU as a whole, with one report from October claiming the Flashpoint movie won't happen if Justice League bombs. Justice League debuted with the lowest opening weekend in the DCEU's short history, and with $212 million domestic and $613.3 million worldwide, it likely won't surpass any of the three DCEU movies before in in either box office category. During Warner Bros. presentation at Comic Con Experience in Sao Paulo, Brazil this weekend, though, it seems that the studio's slate is largely the same, with a few possible exceptions.
The Warner Bros. presentation at Comic Con Experience began with a presentation of the studio's upcoming DCEU slate kicked off with a title card for the Wonder Woman sequel that showed the Wonder Woman logo "flanked by Roman columns." Since there was no "2" in the title, it seems possible that Wonder Woman 2 may not be the official title. Since Wonder Woman is by far the studio's biggest hit, both critically and commercially, it's not surprising that they lead their presentation with this project. The studio then showed the Aquaman title card, which hits theaters nearly a year from now, along with the Flashpoint title card, essentially confirming that this movie is still happening, despite earlier reports. It's possible the studio changed their mind since Ezra Miller's Barry Allen was considered one of the highlights of the movie by many critics, despite an overall lukewarm reception to the movie as a whole. What is interesting though is this presentation did not include a Cyborg movie title card, indicating that this project, which was being eyed for a spring 2020 release, may be dead. There had been talk that The Flash and Cyborg will team up in the Flashpoint movie, so perhaps his story is being shifted over to that project. There was also a title card shown for the DCEU's Justice League Dark movie, indicating that project is still in active development, along with title cards for Suicide Squad 2, Joss Whedon's Batgirl movie, Shazam, Green Lantern Corps and The Batman. Still, there were a few other notable absences as well, such as Gotham City Sirens, the Deadshot solo movie and the Harley Quinn solo movie and a Harley Quinn and Joker team-up movie. There was also no mention of the studio's solo Black Adam movie with Dwayne Johnson or a rumored Deathstroke solo movie. Still, the absence of these title cards is by no means a confirmation of the project's status. While some of these missing projects are certainly intriguing, most of the initial slate set up by the DCEU remains intact, with the sole exception of Cyborg, it seems. There was also no mention of a Justice League sequel, but a report from October revealed that script is already being written. This report from Comic Con Experience comes from ComicBook.com but hopefully we'll find out official details about the impending DCEU slate soon. The official list of movie's that were announced:

A Witcher TV show is headed to Netflix, and now it has reportedly found a writer. Variety reports today that Lauren Schmidt Hissrich--who wrote for the Marvel TV shows The Defenders and Daredevil, as well as the political drama The West Wing--has joined the Witcher TV show as its writer. This has yet to be officially confirmed, however.
Hissrich is also serving as the program's showrunner and executive producer, according to Variety. As of yet, there is no word on who will play main character Geralt or any of the other principal characters. Officially announced in May, the Netflix Witcher show is based on the eight-part novel series written by Andrzej Sapkowski, instead of the games. Sapkowski will be working on the English language drama series as a creative consultant. Netflix is working with Polish company Platige Films on the show. You may not know them by name, but you're probably familiar with its work. The company produced the stunning Witcher 3 trailer called "The Trail" and also created cinematics for Halo 5: Guardians, among a long list of other projects. A Polish TV series based on The Witcher aired in 2002, but that has been the only adaptation of the franchise for TV so far. A Witcher movie with some big-name talent behind it was was announced for 2017, but that never happened. As for the Witcher game series, the newest instalment was 2015's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. No new projects in the series have been announced, and developer CD Projekt Red is now working on the much-anticipated Cyberpunk 2077. Google will block access to YouTube on Amazon's Fire TV from January 1, 2018, and on Echo Show effective immediately. If you fire up the YouTube application on the Fire TV right now, you are greeted with a notification that tells you that YouTube will become unavailable on the device starting January 1st, 2018. Google pulled YouTube from Amazon Echo Show devices several months ago, but Amazon managed to get it back by redirecting users of its device to the web version of YouTube. While far from an ideal solution, it ensured that customers could access YouTube video content again using the device. The following screenshot shows the notification on a German Fire TV. It states that YouTube won't be accessible anymore from January 1st, 2018 on and highlights that there are plenty of other devices that YouTube is supported on. You Tube response: “We’ve been trying to reach agreement with Amazon to give consumers access to each other's products and services. But Amazon doesn't carry Google products like Chromecast and Google Home, doesn't make Prime Video available for Google Cast users, and last month stopped selling some of Nest's latest products. Given this lack of reciprocity, we are no longer supporting YouTube on Echo Show and FireTV. We hope we can reach an agreement to resolve these issues soon.” According to it, Amazon is to blame for the removal of YouTube from Echo Show and Fire TV. Since YouTube is not blocked immediately on the Fire TV, it is possible that Google uses the threat of removal as leverage. Parting Words...It is clear that both companies fight the fight on the back of users to push their own products. The companies blame each other for blocking products or removing access to services, but the one who suffers is the end user. Blocking access to services for any reason but technical ones is an anti-consumer move. Curse of Osiris launches tomorrow, December 5. Bungie will be taking the servers down in advance of the actual launch, which the company estimates will take place from 7:00 AM PST to 10:00 AM PST. That's 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM for us East Coasters, and various other times for everyone else in the world. As in the past, these are estimated times, and so the actual time might be either shorter or longer -- it has been both in the past. Once the servers go down, you'll be able to pre-load the game, which clocks in at 88 GB on PS4, 44 GB on Xbox One, and 68 GB on PC. Depending on how fast your connection is, you might want to start downloading as close to 7:00 AM PST as possible in order to start playing as soon as you can.
They will have more information about the Technical Test next week. The test will be small in scope, since the game is still in development and has a few known issues, so if you don't receive an invite don't be discouraged. they plan to have a much wider beta early next year.
