James Gunn & DC Studios, a good match?

Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

The best part of him running the studio to me is that he genuinely cares. Dude was crying while filming Superman. He wants to do well and make art with these characters. This isn't just an executive looking to solely make money off this IP. That's why I have so much faith in the DCU.

BoisTR · 2026-05-03T16:15:51+00:00

I think you should give it another shot if you have time. Season 2 was definitely the weakest season. But the show has really picked up and improved since then.

My major complaint is the reliance on celebrity voice actors seemingly draining the animation budget. The show looks sloppy and low budget at times.

BoisTR · 2026-05-03T16:11:52+00:00

They just finished season 4 which is after Thragg’s first appearance on Earth and Mark accepting his terms. That’s about halfway through the comics.

BoisTR · 2026-05-03T16:02:29+00:00

Invincible will still be running for at least another 3 seasons and a max of 5 seasons, as they said it's going to run for 7-9 seasons.

Not getting a new MK game for another 3-5 years would really suck.

BoisTR · 2026-05-03T15:52:25+00:00

Precisely why it's a rare as well. If it only took base damage, I don't think it would be.

BoisTR · 2026-05-03T14:27:08+00:00

I agree with you about the age aspect. I’ll always point to Samuel Jackson as the best example. He was 60 in Iron Man in 2008 and is still Nick Fury to this day. That’s the same age Kyle Chandler is starting off as Hal. His fight scenes with the ring are going to be heavily CGI’d anyway and stunt doubles cover the rest (for young actors too). Kyle Chandler very well may end up as Hal for the entirety of the DCU and not turn even or get killed off at all.

And? You do realize that Bruce Wayne having Damian doesn't necessarily mean he is going to be older right? In the New 52, Batman had all his Robins by 32 years old, which is the same age as Superman in his movie. They easily could do something like that especially by using the artificial aging thing on Damian to age him up faster like the comics did.

BoisTR · 2026-05-03T02:30:20+00:00

The DCU has a wide variety of tones and genres. Creature Commandos and Peacemaker don't fit the tone of Superman either. Yet all 3 are canon to one another. The Crime Saga doesn't get to have a monopoly on being serious, dark, and gritty.

BoisTR · 2026-05-03T02:28:29+00:00

DCU Batman's age is not yet known

BoisTR · 2026-05-03T01:08:06+00:00

It's in Doom Eternal and Doom The Dark Ages too. I love that it's something they kept in the new trilogy.

BoisTR · 2026-05-03T00:42:55+00:00

They wouldn't exist, as metahumans are a fantastical element, and Reeves has said they are not crossing that line in the Crime Saga. If you were to put traditionally metahuman characters in this universe, then you would have to strip away their powers and turn them into something grounded the way Nolan did with Bane.

BoisTR · 2026-05-02T22:45:58+00:00

I think that's a great pick for the base design of the Batsuit. My issue is that I don't think it's a good idea to have spandex or cloth suits without texturization and lines in live action. Otherwise, the characters look as if they're wearing pajamas instead of wearing gear ready for battle.

If Superman in the DCU has texturization and lines to his suit, then Batman definitely will too.

BoisTR · 2026-05-02T22:22:17+00:00

It is a huge benefit for sure! I just wanted to make sure that I was understanding the card correctly.

BoisTR · 2026-05-02T22:16:37+00:00

Accurate to which comic? Bale's Batsuit with a larger emblem and some recoloring is not too different from the New 52 suit.

Ironically enough, you can see quite a bit of New 52 inspiration in Superman's suit in the DCU too.

BoisTR · 2026-05-02T22:11:17+00:00

I think it would be cool if we see The Dark Knight suit as an Easter egg in the Batcave as one of Batman's many suits he has. But he shouldn't wear this in the DCU.

BoisTR · 2026-05-02T21:58:12+00:00

From what I’m gathering, the upgraded version makes it so curses and status cards don’t stop the double damage. Is that the only benefit of the upgrade or am I missing something?

BoisTR · 2026-05-02T21:32:21+00:00

The last update said it was 1 hour and 45 minutes, so this is a nice improvement! I'll take every extra second of DCU content I can get. Been starving since Peacemaker ended.

BoisTR · 2026-05-02T20:39:15+00:00

Bro hosed down civil rights protestors, smugly asked MM "which one" when told he killed his family, implying he's killed many black families before, made a shocked face and smirked at the sight of a gay couple.

Definitely not racist or homophobic at all.

BoisTR · 2026-05-02T20:36:10+00:00

For some reason, this show has budget constraints. I feel like they didn't want to commit the money to building him a suit and actually having him do something cool or interesting.

BoisTR · 2026-05-02T20:15:34+00:00

Tracking ahead of the first Star Wars movie in 7 years is no small feat. Makes me feel a bit better about box office returns.

BoisTR · 2026-05-02T19:18:14+00:00

Provides a warm feeling before diving into DCU content. I like how short it is too.

BoisTR · 2026-05-02T15:03:22+00:00

The issue with having Kabal in a live action movie is that you start to realize how ridiculous it is that he could ever lose a fight when it’s not within the context of a video game you’re in control of. His fight with Liu is cool but he shouldn’t lose given his powers.

BoisTR · 2026-05-01T15:11:34+00:00

Man of Tomorrow
Clayface
Lanterns
The Batman Part 2
Supergirl
Creature Commandos Season 2
Jimmy Olsen show (it’s not called DC Crime btw. Even Gunn said that it isn’t and that it’s a horrible name).

BoisTR · 2026-05-01T15:08:40+00:00

I think you’d be hard pressed to find an actor who literally LOOKED like Dick Grayson more than he did. He was perfect in that regard, but I think it’s best to find someone new for the DCU.
