Yeah Jay is misrepresenting what ceo guy said. They aren't marketing TO grandmothers, it's just that the entire family can see the movie without being turned off
Better to market to families rather than specifically marketing to progressives
No one wants their comic book universe to be made solely for loser edgelords who think saying the f word a lot makes something "adult."
To normal people, that's childish.

I have to agree. I liked some of Guns stuff. I like the Superman though I liked all the superman movies except justice league and returns and IV.
But Gunn didn't focus on world building right. He focused on second rate characters. That worked for marvel. But DC you need Batman and Superman to kick off the universe.
Peacemaker was a good premise but the second half of season two was dumb. The way they dropped the ball on the portal stuff.

Its remarkable how incompetent some of these creative types are at running anything

If Gunn had taken what he had done with Superman, and also done it with:
Batman
Wonder Woman
Flash
Green Lantern
Nightwing
etc etc etc
He would still be in charge
But instead he was like I am going to make a Superman movie and then all of these weird projects

Well, he did make a Green Lantern project. It was just nothing like Green Lantern.

I'm just glad Gunn's Batman vision is scrapped

Yeah that was my point. His Superman movie was so spot on for Superman as a character.
He did not do that with Lantern and made a bunch of niche characters into weird shows and movies

True. It really was a solid launch point. It's baffling how he followed that tbh.
ETA: should have been obvious when he announced Supergirl as the next movie. Supergirl simply isn't a tier 1 character. She's a plot piece.

I still think Ellison would be starting over. Him and his team want their own people doing their vision of DC.

Maybe, but there really isn't any reason to do that. Gunn's universe just got started. There isn't enough there to need rewritten.
The parts that sucked can just be ignored.

It really makes no sense at all
And hands up, I am one of the ones that was pumping Gunn and thinking he would do well
His strategy was truly bizarre

Will they keep Aaron Pierre and/or Kyle Chandler? This is from the Wrap's reporting

The creators of Smallville, as well as the actors, wanted an animated reboot. DC shut that down - they had the animation style and the actors/creators/writers from the original show on board. Why that never happened, remains a mystery to me. Seems as if that would be hugely entertaining and successful.
You just randomly reminded me that John Schneider mentioned this to me one time. We were holding an event on his property around here and I was complimenting him as the best Jonathan Kent

Would be simple enough to retcon the death of Hal Jordan. Could be easily excused as a construct. Would actually make more sense given the ridiculous way he just sat there after being shot.
Looking back at that Lanterns show would be a net negative. They need to ignore that ever having happened.

This is their whole problem right here. They never got a starting point that worked for them. They rushed things to keep up with Marvel instead of being ok with being behind them. They could have done a Phase 1 like pace but felt the need to close the gap

Fair...Chandler was just a home run casting. I'd love to see more from him

It would be much easier to completely ignore it happened than be burdened by it since it's just a tv show
To be clear I would think a new set of actors for them could be in play.
But I don't think Corenswet or Hoult go anywhere

It’s unfortunate we’re getting a second Superman movie under Gunn’s direction. Keeping the cast as is would have been a great opportunity to reset the world.
Kind of like what we saw with Star Trek The Motion Picture vs The Wrath of Khan.
Same core cast, but completely different wardrobe and set design. With no references whatsoever to the previous movie.
