re: Gunn no longer running DC Studios.

And people on this board ridiculed me because I said James Gunn doesn’t know Superman. I said that because James Gunn doesn’t know Superman. Virtually everything he put in his movie was a projection from his own life, from his own damn dog to Clark’s parents being stand ins for rural farmers living in double wides James saw in fly over country. He simply imported everything he saw from his world and put it into the movie.


Sometimes I told you so just doesn’t quite say it.

SIAP. Sorry, Lanterns bros. And it was such a hit show, too.

They botched Lanterns but I wouldn't put it in the same universe as Peacemaker if you're talking about ratings and broad appeal to audiences. Lanterns was night-time television for teens/adults, Peacemaker is over-the-top middle school edgelord stuff.

Jim Lee influence should be all over the place now

They posted he could bring TDKR to screen as a graphic novel one-off, not the complete universe from what I saw

And that has some basis in reality since Snyder was on stage with Miller earlier this year talking about it

Peacemaker season 2 was just as bad as Lanterns. They went over the top with "the message" and completely lost the plot.

Didn't even realize that they played themselves by portraying a white-dominated world as ideal. No one who watched that season would honestly come away thinking, "you know what? I actually prefer our world to that one."

They definitely failed Clark's upbringing, but it was better than how Snyder handled it.

It's just impossible to explain Superman without the obvious midwestern Christian influence. The entire point is this is a super-powered alien who is good solely because he was raised with sound, conservative, Christian fundamentals. It's the ultimate assimilation story.

If you don't have that, Superman doesn't work.

I agree with whoever said that it is sad James Gunn is getting another Superman movie. He did fine with the first movie, but he clearly doesn't understand the character's motivations or ethics. The new guy being an apparent conservative Christian is a great sign for Superman moving forward.

“That makes it a possibility that Zack finishes his DCEU saga, with Christopher Nolan involved as exec producer,” our source said at the time.

In no way should you hand the keys back to Snyder, maybe as an overseer but put the actual movies in the hands of filmmakers that can be execute his ideas better

But man re booting an a universe you killed off years ago seems like a bad idea if you’re still releasing MOT

cmon what? Like I said in the post, I didn't see that but I did see the TDKR rumor floated.

My only gripe with TDKR would be he basically adapted it already with BvS.

I would rather see the conclusion of the Darkseid story if they are going to pump money into content for a one-off elseworlds story

Justice League and Justice League Unlimited had some tremendous stories they could have put into live action.

Legends
A better world
Secret Society

Also some of the animated movies. I prefer to not have Superman punch the team to victory as it gets boring.

It seemed the MCU did that with their animated movies to work out story lines
