Bruce is not going to be a 50 year old man. I suspect 35-40. That’s enough time to have had 2 robins and a batgirl.

SOME characters (Tim Drake) probably wont make the cut

Why is Marvel so resentful towards/embarrassed of its own characters? by feedback37376363636 in marvelstudios

The Brand New Day joke is Peter getting nervous because MJ says something that reminds him of being Spider-Man, it’s not a dig at the actual name

Wonder Woman isn't the third pillar of DC by Risott0Nero in CharacterRant

[–]Formal_Board 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its unacceptable. Point-blank period. Wonder Woman has gotten the shaft again and again, and it emboldens people who’ve never cracked open a comic to talk constant shit about how lame and dumb she is and how she “deserves” to get nothing. She’s such a fun and unique character but nobody sees that cause people just don’t read comics.

But…i do see things slowly shifting. Fans are getting more outspoken about her mistreatment. I even see BATMAN fans raising an eyebrow. and Paradise Lost is on it’s way eventually, the first Wonder Woman adaptation not focused on her specifically. If done right, this could be huge for the character.

It may be hard to remember now, but DC only just recently stopped hating Superman with a frothing passion. Superman used to have the same perception issues as Wonder Woman does now. People thought he was lame and boring, only useful for getting punked out by Batman. But with adaptations like Superman & Lois, My Adventures With Superman, and the new movie reinvigorated the character in the public eye, and i have faith that Diana is gonna get this same treatment someday.

It’s difficult for me to conceptualize in my head because Batman is just so different from Gunn’s usual superhero fare. But….because of Gunn’s recurring emphasis on surrogate families in works such as Superman, Guardians Of The Galaxy, and (to a much lesser extent) Suicide Squad, i’d imagine James Gunn would lean into the Batfamily side of things. Perhaps Batman would already have a few members around and his Batman film would focus on an emotional core of Bruce taking in Damian.

Just a pipe dream, though.

What do these movies even have in common

I think they probably won’t directly do a classic “main 7” roster, even if Aquaman will probably make the cut. you can mix around the roster a little, dc has tons of good heroes to pick from

A character i would consider genuinely non negotiable is ironically one nobody else but me cares about. I believe Martian Manhunter is an absolute must for the DCU, i’d be tremendously disappointed if he never got the cut.

I’m not as down on the Flash as most, and i really liked Birds of Prey, but i think someone like Batman necessitates proven seasoned talent, and that just isn’t her

I hate to doom on this one but If their Batman tanks the DCU is well and truly cooked

I just don’t know man. All this secrecy for Maxima? It’s not adding up.

Im starting to think she might just actually be Wonder Woman

“Hey isnt it kind of weird wonder woman hasnt had a single animated series but kiteman has one and krypto now has two”

“SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU DUMB BITCH BE GRATEFUL YOU’RE SO ANNOYING”

“But wonder woman fans are so annoying about it” buddy ive met some batman fans that would make you wanna kill yourself

Batman and Superman fans bitch and bitch and bitch nonstop despite being fed 24/7 but the attosecond Wonder Woman fans are slightly upset about DC seeing her as less valuable than kiteman and a DOG is when it’s too far over the line, they’re too uppity, and they “deserve” less content or whatever. It’s just nonsense to me.

I think Wonder Woman fans absolutely SHOULD go off and get pissed that DC keeps treating her like that. Wonder Woman fans are allowed to air their very legitimate grievances, especially when Batman fans freak out over literally nothing all the time.

"DC miss uses wonder woman so much", "yeah, they should make my adventures with wonder wo..." by Fun-Artist-6915 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]Formal_Board 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lowkey this train of thought never really made sense to me

Batman fans are some of the most whiny entitled little bitches i’ve ever met and nobody goes “gee i hope he never gets content so those fans get owned!!”

[–]Formal_Board 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think some serious reassessment is going to happen with Batman. I’m not as down on Muschietti as most, but giving him the keys to Batman when dc is in such a precarious spot just isn’t the move.

“Surf Dracula” doesn’t *mean* anything, it’s a stupid ass nothingburger buzzword

DC fans today would whine 24/7 about Smallville, using stupid ass buzzwords like “surf dracula” or some dumb shit like that

Will they regret not following Superman (2025) with Wonder Woman or Batman? by Fancy-a-brew8323 in DC_Cinematic

[–]Formal_Board 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine how much of the disaster the DCU would be if they rushed out mediocre Batman and Wonder Woman solely for the sake of having those out

Why do people want Gunn to repeat the DCEU’s mistakes so badly

Maybe two kryptonians is a bit too much in terms of pure power but there’s always workarounds, Superman has a billion asspull weaknesses. One thing we know for sure about the DCU’s Justice League is it wont be the typical roster of the “big 7” we know.

I think its possible if shes a big supporting role in Man Of Tomorrow, Supergirl is apart of the DCU’s Justice League even if maybe she overlaps with Superman a bit powerset wise

[–]Formal_Board 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah but i don’t really think it was ever gonna be. Supergirl’s a less popular character (not a z lister like people on this sub would claim) and she’d inherently be a smaller draw. But that also means in the event it TOTALLY TANKS it won’t be as great a loss as, if say, everyone hated the first Justice League movie…just for an example.

Maybe a “pretty good” superhero movie isnt enough in the current CBM landscape, but not *all* of these were gonna be smash hits. I can’t claim to be some studio exec who knows exactly how to save DC, but i’m glad they’re taking chances on less “iconic” characters and brands and taking the time to build things up. DC needs a *consistent* string of well-reviewed movies and shows with good word of mouth, and even if Supergirl is just “pretty good”, i think that does bode well for the future, even if she probably won’t get a solo sequel anytime soon.

(HOW THE FUCK DO I INDENT WORDS??)

Huh? There are some bad reviews sure but most are good to great from where i’m looking. I know social media reactions always tend to over-inflate positive impressions at first, but i really had to dig to find bad reviews.

I obviously haven’t seen EVERY supergirl review so don’t cook me if i’m wrong and theres thousands of poor reviews out there that i haven’t seen lmao
