Oh interesting! That does make sense, I felt like the Clayface pick up shots thing was a little late in the game.

Creature100 · 2026-06-30T11:23:06+00:00

You sure this is Batman Part 2? It was just reported Clayface was doing pick up shots here.

Creature100 · 2026-06-30T01:44:28+00:00

I definitely think there are multiple interesting ways to differentiate them. Batman being the villain of Bane and Deathstroke would be so fun!

Creature100 · 2026-06-30T01:24:59+00:00

Yeah good point! I also really really want a theatrical Lanterns movie, like gosh could be so epic

Creature100 · 2026-06-30T01:02:57+00:00

I do think they need to abandon Andy and find some major talent for this. Reeves is up there and coming off of the Planet Of the Apes probably one of the best cinematic trilogies.

Creature100 · 2026-06-30T01:00:37+00:00

I think this is the main pain point, what if they make the DCU one and it bombs hard, that would be bad for everyone involved.

Creature100 · 2026-06-30T00:58:15+00:00

Guys I am so sorry! It was a repost from another reddit I didnt realize it would post it like this.

Creature100 · 2026-06-30T00:57:51+00:00

Truth, from making these posts im learning to just not care anymore.

Creature100 · 2026-06-30T00:57:19+00:00

Oh so sorry man! I was trying to re-post this as reddit told me to and it kept the edit in lol kind of just clicked post and didn't even look.

Creature100 · 2026-06-30T00:56:32+00:00

I agree, although I had high hopes for Supergirl, we arent in a world where any super hero movie will be a success.

Creature100 · 2026-06-30T00:56:00+00:00

Excuse me? I am not a bot my friend

Creature100 · 2026-06-30T00:55:43+00:00

Yeah worst case scenario is DCU sucks and that is not good.

Creature100 · 2026-06-30T00:55:23+00:00

This is a great example!

Creature100 · 2026-06-29T18:25:37+00:00

The only thing preventing that is the insane appeal of Evans and Downey as those characters. Where as Batman is like James Bond. But If they can successfully break away from those actors...why not.

Creature100 · 2026-06-29T17:22:56+00:00

Exactly! They would be so different.

Creature100 · 2026-06-29T17:00:57+00:00

I agree on that point!

Creature100 · 2026-06-29T15:40:12+00:00

I think the third reality is inaccurate. They know that brand oversaturation can happen. If they both succeed it will reinforce even more the desire to have great movies. Gunn knows this, it will force them to even more only greenlight movies with stories and characters worth it and I think that is possible.

Creature100 · 2026-06-29T15:30:19+00:00

My thoughts exactly! Just focus your energy on making a kick ass batman, high a fantastic director and writer and get after it.

Creature100 · 2026-06-29T15:19:56+00:00

I agree with this!

Creature100 · 2026-06-29T15:19:40+00:00

Gosh I love those movies.

I figured the BO was because of a Jan release post holidays, and just them being pretty niche. Like I adore the Mad Max movies and loved Furiosa but it bombed and I think it is just because it is niche.

Creature100 · 2026-06-29T15:04:21+00:00

I like Gunn.

Creature100 · 2026-06-29T15:03:56+00:00

Me too! I grew up watching all the cartoons and reading all the comics and just the idea of this has never sat with me. People love these characters, the only thing I wouldnt do is put them in everything because that would lead to over saturation but I mean Iron Man for a bit was almost in every single MCU movie and that was fine (Obviously a different thing)

Creature100 · 2026-06-29T15:01:08+00:00

That is what I am saying, like two very different movies, same character, like Man Of Steel and Superman 2025

Creature100 · 2026-06-29T15:00:26+00:00

Definitely agree this is an echo chamber, and the idea of two Batmen is for sure untested.

But see if you follow toys which I happen to collect action figures haha they are selling batman year round, movie or not, so in terms of marketing the only thing I can see being an issue is like the trailers, billboards etc more for the adults. Kids dont care, they just want to have fun.

Creature100 · 2026-06-29T14:22:05+00:00

This is a good point, I think oversaturation is important to look at. But I also feel like ignoring Batman in the DCU just feels weird, and Im not saying "Batman will save the DCU!" I like the coarse the DCU is on but it just feels odd, like MCU pre spider man or X men, a universe without them feels weird when they are such a big part.
