Outside of The Authority and Creature Commandos, were there any books that really had anyone scrambling? I understand FOMO and the urge to blow money but…
I feel like for the most part, anything related to most of this should already be in a persons collections if they cared all that much about it to begin with or were already on the speculation scene?
Spec doesn’t really work when first apps are $50k, so the focus has been on the cheap spec books. With Gunn’s proclivity for making lesser known characters popular, I think there will be a lot of cheaper spec opportunities yet to come.
My phone kept going off with alerts while I was getting a haircut. I thought someone was texting me about an emergency.
I would be interested in something with The Authority and a Swamp Thing horror flick. Also, anything featuring Viola Davis is awesome so more of her as Amanda Waller is cool. Otherwise, I wasn’t too pumped up with the announcements. As you all know I’m more Marvel than DC though as a fan so take that as you will. It makes me happy to see other people pumped.
The very recent run of Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King. He is one of the writers Gunn assembled and could potentially write the story treatment/script. It’s a key book too.
This one is a good read on how Gunn and Safran are righting the ship this time and addressing superhero fatigue and the current hollywood climate of front-loading movies with announced release dates.
Okay. I’m thankful WB didn’t cancel this. I am excited for two Batman - especially Keaton. And I love that they actually advertised comics at the end of the trailer, and hope that starts a trend.
I do think it’s maybe a little unfair to the character of the Flash to have his self-titled movie likely overshadowed by all these other characters, but c’est la vie. And I certainly hope Ezra Miller has truly gotten the help they need to keep it together.
I think Ezra did go to a facility when they heard things looked bleak for the movie releasing if they didn’t get help, and they hopefully realized how bad a state they were in.
Agreed on all your points especially the second paragraph. Hopefully this does well and all people involved would get a chance in the new universe may it be reprising characters and/or new ones.
If the film is supposed to act as a Flashpoint for the DCU, its hard to tell that story without alternate Batmen, Superpeople, etc. I still think Flash walks away as the star, Ezra always made me laugh with his portrayal of the Flash.
