James Gunn's Superman movie

Quite possible. And I would be fine either way.

Cleaning up the topic. Let’s keep it to the Superman movie, not the political drama and whatever else is going on. You all feel free to take the discussion to private messaging if you like but anything else about Gaza, Isreal, we’ll just start handing out bans… Thanks.

Hey guys, I have been offline mostly due to my wife’s surgery and come back to a big argument over the Superman movie and politics. I cannot stress enough to just leave the political BS off the forums. It has been cleaned up before I got here but I am really asking to just leave it be and discuss comics. This kind of stuff is way too divisive and I just do not want to do it.

I got to see it today. Mid level movie. Not Marvel Phase 4 bad but I wouldn’t consider it great. It just felt kind of sloppy. The funny thing for me was, I can’t stand Guy Gardner in the comics (not Marvel’s Paul level of hate but I really never cared for the character at all) but in the movie, I thought he was the best part. I didn’t care what Supes and Lois were talking about, I just kept laughing at the big green baseball bat smacking the plot device outside the window. I’ll give Gunn credit, he is trying something different with the DC universe. I hope I never have to hear Hawkgirl again.

Precisely my sentiment.
Mid level… and we’ve become very accepting of mid-level with the rash of disasters for the last several years.
The new paradigm shift we’ve created in our heads for superhero movies is Mid-level = High Level

One of my favorite scenes was Mr. Terrific kicking ass outside the portal and they played ā€œ5 Years Timeā€ from Noah and the Whale (great band)… I think I enjoyed Mr. Terrific the most!

Seconded!

Mr. Terrific was a great part of the movie. Gunn got to reuse his Yondu moment from his bag of tricks, lol. I’m not super familiar with the character, though. Does he usually fly around in that T car thing in the comics or was that a movie thing?

Im gonna say the villain is Brainiac…

"Although the film will continue their rivalry and feature Lex as an antagonist, rumors suggest they will also join forces as well. Although unverified, sources also tell NPN, that Supergirl (Milly Alcock), Lobo (Jason Momoa), and Peacemaker (John Cena) will have roles in the film as well. "

Brianiac would be awesome! I would like to see Darkseid (done right) eventually but it is about time Brainiac saw time on the big screen. .

Just reading the article made my brain hurt. Seems like the author isn’t a James Gunn fan. I however am a huge fan and thoroughly enjoyed Superman and the second season of Peacemaker.

Cosmic book news does not report anything accurately. I don’t take anything they say as a fact. It’s interesting to see other takes on things though…

I’d say they don’t have much journalistic skill at all…

I mean, look at this…

ā€œI’m told if David Ellison of Skydance Paramount buys WBD, that Mike De Luca will be in charge of DC and do a completely new start.ā€

ā€œHere’s what I am told.ā€

ā€œI’ve also been told the reason why DCU projects have been stalling is because of Gunn’s interference.

ā€œI’m told that most visionary directors in Hollywood are staying away from not only DC.ā€

ā€œI’m told Zack Snyder is happy doing his original stuff [but would only return to DC for one last movieā€

ā€œI’m told that if Warner Bros. gets sold – that whoever buys it – wants a completely new start.ā€

ā€œWhat I am told if David Ellison buys Warner Bros. Discovery, is that James Gunn will be out. ā€

ā€œI’m told that actually ā€œnobody in the building knows his status except for Gunn himself,ā€

ā€œI’m told Mike De Luca will take over DC.ā€

ā€œI’m told he won’t be bringing back the Snyder Verseā€
