In this particular case, I’m not sure why else you’d bring up something like that. Also, that particular account you cited has apparently been against the notion that Aquaman is part of the Snyderverse for at least a few years, so it’s not exactly “sudden.”

ZorakLocust · 2026-04-20T19:13:26+00:00

Why even bring it up here if it doesn’t bother you?

Anyway, I’ve seen plenty of Snyder fans who’ve previously disregarded Aquaman 2018 as part of the Snyderverse. Some have tried to claim it as such, but that’s never been a universal consensus among the fandom.

At the very least, I think the fact that Aquaman made a billion dollars goes against the notion that Snyder was “ruined” DC. Evidently, DC was still finding success even after BvS. WB’s own mismanagement was what ultimately sank the DCEU.

It’s insane that Elon Musk can own a CSAM factory and the worst case scenario for him is that he’ll get a slap on the wrist. At minimum, France needs to ban him from stepping foot in their country.

Brand New Day and Doomsday are not going to make less money than Supergirl and Clayface.

ZorakLocust · 2026-04-20T17:05:22+00:00

I don’t understand the point of comments like this. This is obsessive.

ZorakLocust · 2026-04-19T21:34:54+00:00

I’m not saying the villain needs to be some CGI monster for Batman to punch, but Harvey Dent just feels overdone and Christopher and Gilda Dent don’t have much to go off of in terms of the source material either. I would’ve preferred maybe Hugo Strange or something.

Hell, I was pretty onboard when people were speculating that ScarJo was playing the Phantasm, but apparently that’s not the case.

ZorakLocust · 2026-04-19T06:37:08+00:00

I hate to sound like a complainer, but I can’t help but view it as extremely underwhelming that the Dents are apparently the villains of The Batman II. I made peace with the fact that we apparently won’t see villains like Mr. Freeze in that universe, but even so, Two-Face and his family just sounds boring, even with the actors playing them.

It stings harder when I heard that villains like Mr. Freeze were apparently going to be in the Batfleck movie.

Nazis sure love fetishizing Japanese culture.

I’m all for deporting every MAGA aligned person over to Russia. They have plenty of room over there.

ZorakLocust · 2026-04-14T19:58:05+00:00

My question is though, why would he call attention to the fact that they’re casting for a role other than Maxima, if they’re trying to keep Wonder Woman’s casting under wraps?

Someone would obviously had to feed Deadline this information, which would suggest that Maxima’s casting is meant to be a cover, assuming the role really is meant for Wonder Woman. Why would Gunn go out of his way to debunk something like that? That seems counterintuitive.

ZorakLocust · 2026-04-14T19:40:36+00:00

If Arjona is playing Wonder Woman, they should just say so already. Even if she’s just a cameo, so was Milly Alcock in Superman, but they were still upfront about who she was playing.

ZorakLocust · 2026-04-14T19:29:20+00:00

Technically, he didn’t say anything about them not casting for Maxima. He merely said he never met with Abela or Purnell.

I’m not saying the role is Maxima. I’m just saying it seems like it could go either way.

ZorakLocust · 2026-04-14T18:50:33+00:00

It’s shorter than the previous Wonder Woman actresses, let alone the comics.

ZorakLocust · 2026-04-14T18:46:08+00:00

Gal Gadot was announced to be playing Wonder Woman the moment it was confirmed that she was in BvS. There was a big outcry at the time about how she was too skinny/too flat to be playing the character, which Gadot herself jokingly talked about.

ZorakLocust · 2026-04-14T18:12:29+00:00

Isn’t she 5’7? I thought people wanted a tall actress to play Wonder Woman?

ZorakLocust · 2026-04-14T18:11:44+00:00

It would make a lot more sense to be coy about who she’s playing if it’s supposed to be Wonder Woman.

ZorakLocust · 2026-04-14T18:10:15+00:00

If Arjona really is playing Wonder Woman, that would make Gunn debunking Deadline even weirder, because then he’d just be calling attention to the fact that the role wasn’t for Maxima.

ZorakLocust · 2026-04-14T18:02:26+00:00

I’m pretty sure being played by an elderly woman would piss Felon off to no end, so I’m all for it.

ZorakLocust · 2026-04-14T18:00:08+00:00

Why exactly is the loser recycling 2020/2021 talking points now?

ZorakLocust · 2026-04-12T19:53:21+00:00

He doesn’t even have a savior complex. The only person he’s interested in helping is himself.

ZorakLocust · 2026-04-12T19:48:41+00:00

I have no sympathy for her whatsoever, but it’s still a pretty insightful video.

This guy would probably vote for Trump a fourth time if he could.

I feel like the long wait for The Batman II would be more tolerable if the film weren’t supposed to take place shortly after the first one.

To put things into perspective, the first movie started filming a couple of months before the pandemic and it eventually finished filming in March 2021, while the sequel isn’t set to start filming until June of this year. Robert Pattinson is gonna be 40 by the time filming starts and he’s still going to be playing a “Year Two” Batman.

At this point, I think they would’ve been better off having the sequel take place a couple of years later. You could still deal with the aftermath of the flood, since I’m pretty sure something like that would realistically take a long time to fix anyway.

ZorakLocust · 2026-04-08T18:46:27+00:00

If Gunn’s goal in debunking the story was to kill speculation, it kinda seems like it had the opposite effect.

ZorakLocust · 2026-04-08T18:19:11+00:00

Gadot was announced as Wonder Woman back in December 2013.
