Gunn reveals he is taking inspiration from Game of thrones and Star wars when making the DCU. 2 dead forgotten franchises leading the way.Ehat a joke.

Honestly I'm ok with this, as it seems like unlike the MCU, Gunn is intentionally building up the world from the get go instead of just making shit up as they go.

I was worried about the text scroll in Superman but it actually worked really well and made it feel more like a lived-in world.

The important thing is that Zack Snyder is gone.

He should literally just start adapting comics and hire competent directors
Obviously the most important thing is hiring competent directors. When Feige started hiring literally random people from the street the MCU went to 0/10

He's doing exactly that with Supergirl movie, yet people are unhappy with that for some reason.

you should know by now that some people love to just whine about everything. look at snyderfags for example, they sing praises about the man but couldnt even bother to help support him and his projects after DC. talked shit about Black Adam and Flash constantly when they were the final chances of the DCEU continuing before Gunn rebooted everything. some people just love being /co/ntrarians and arguing all the time and sadly they cannot be helped

I am just hoping for a fun Babsgirl movie/TVshow.
>Gunn shills Cassandra Cain instead
In this case, fuck that shit, I want Snyder back.

It will flop because they are following up Superman with Peacemaker S2, Supergirl, Lanterns and.....Clayface.

So a couple things about that, the book this movie is seemingly based on is awful and should be ignored, that being said it does look like itโ€™s doing its own thing by adding Lobo into the mix

Iโ€™ll be honest the only thing Iโ€™m genuinely not looking forward to is Lanterns, nothing from leaks or set photos seem good and it just seems like they are going to use this show to shit on both Hal & Guy to prop up John

It actually has good screenwriters involved, so it might turn out good.

Clayface reportefly has a small budget and they want to sell it as a horror film. Gunn has said that they'll try to play with different genres and are willing to make films appealing to small niches too.

With Tom King and Damon Lindelof involved even if they had the best screen writers alive those two would fuck it up

The reason why it looks that way because they're prioritizing movies that have promising scripts and especially completed scripts. Which is why the lineup seems so out of place instead of announcing the mainstays like Wonder Woman and Flash and whatnot.

Apparrently Gunn wants the Justice League lineup to be just like DCAU, he even said that Flash is Wally West.

literally nobody says that except whiny /co/tards because it's Tom King, it's a good storyline and one of his rare hits over misses, yes it's basically True Grit but it's still a fun read

Supergirl is the perfect follow-up to Superman.

It comes out next summer, its already in production. There will be only be a 12 month wait for audiences since Superman. Krypto will be in it.

If rumors are true that the next thing with Superman is a team-up with Supergirl, you would get: a Superman movie, Supergirl movie, a Superman + Supergirl movie. That's a really coherent strategy and almost like a trilogy.

And then it pivots to establishing Wonder Woman, Batman and Robin, and maybe Teen Titans. And then it can pivot back to Worlds Finest and then the Justice League.

The concern trolling around Sgt Rock and Clayface is really disingenuous. In every piece of publicity about those movies, its been made evident that they were pitched by the filmmakers and had scripts that Gunn thought were good enough to greenlight now.

They are standalone movies. This is like getting mad at DC for publishing a Clayface mini when you want more of the Superman line.

You're annoyed with those two movies because you're approaching this whole thing as a "gotta watch them all" consoomer mindset. MCU tried to turn whole movies into episodes of a big TV show and its sucks balls. Its bogged down in all the same bullshit of Big 2 capeshit comics.

Sgt Rock and Clayface are like the big-screen version of a 6 issue mini series. Read it or don't read it. Its not supposed to be connected to whatever the big event is that the main comics are building to. Its just a standalone comic story.

And fuck you if you don't think a Sgt Rock movie would be dope as fuck. You fucking casual. Acquire taste.
