    It sounds like were getting a superhero movie actually made from the heart and not just soulless cgi fest. Gunn has already gone 5 for 5 with all his capeshit stuff, I see no reason to fear that he'd frick up with Superman.

      That'd be great. Gunn posted that with a panel from All-Star Superman which gives me crazy high hopes for a movie that doesn't "deconstruct" superman but shows how lovable he is. If the movie has Supes walking Regan back from the edge of the building's roof I'll make everyone in my family see it

    I'm fine with it, makes sense that Gunn would want to set up the universe by doing the first movie himself. I guess he'll also take it upon himself to do the big crossovers, and then other directors will be able to run free with everything else

      I just hope he either reigns in his worse filmmaking impulses (the whedonesque comedy, the pop culture references, 'dance off's, out of place horror elements) or gets someone else sctually intimately familiar with superman to doctor up his script.

      Just because it wont be as bad as Zack Snyders take on Superman, doesn't mean it wont be bad. Batman & Robin was a bad Batman movie for the exact opposite reasons Batman V Superman and Justice League were. But it was still bad.

      If this bombs then that's it. No more Superman movie ever again. Not until he enters the public domain in 18 years.
      DC and WB have put more money and effort into trying to make what should be the easiest character to make a movie out of, and still failed. At this point their failure with Superman shouldn't be seen as a economic failure or a quality control failure. But a moral and spiritual indictment of WB's moral core as a company and the majority of it's employees and creative teams.

            Gunn isn't even like Twitter checkmark level "woke". Frankly imo he went overboard shitting on Waller without showcasing her more sympathetic, humanizing side. Don't use your noggin to make up shit just to get mad about, ain't healthy.

            Making Lois Asian wouldn't even be good "representation". She can be a bit of a silver spoon spoiled brat with a bigwig military daddy, that could easily pull on resentment toward Asians.

                Hating masculine conservative characters like Superman is not a James Gunn problem it’s a Hollywood problem. They’ll make either make him weak and pathetic to prop up Lois or they’ll make him a model feminist Ally. Because those are the only two male characters that are allowed to exist in modern progressive Hollywood.

                It’s just the way things are and it’s not going to change.

                The whole point of that post was that I don't want a Superman movie that tries to do something 'deep' and 'relevant' or 'political' with his character. Or tries to have some commentary in it about what 'the american way' even means anymore, because that is never not cringe. I just want him being Superman. Not a Superman for liberals, not a Superman for conservatives. A Superman for everyone. But I know I'm not going to get that from todays movie industry that hates everything the character once stood for.

                The outrage was caused by the guy doing the shooting being a walking talking stereotype of middle american conservatives wearing an american flag, mullet, bad teeth and talking in a southern drawl.
                If it had been Superman stopping a black gang member with gold teeth, a crip bandana, face tattoos, speaking in eubonics shooting up a white family's grocery store. It wouldnt be the conservatives angry.

                IIRC another page in the sequence had gangbangers going after a cop and Superman putting a stop to that.

                Trust me. If Gunn adapts Birthright, I can hear Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Critical Drinker and all the usual online right wing manosphere getting on their high horse about the scene with the gun shop owner right now.

                in a Superman comic demonizing conservative white right wing people as evil and problematic before you'll see one even mildly criticizing a white liberal. That scene was just the straw that broke the camels back.
                Since we're on the topic. When was the last time anyone saw a horror movie where the christian character wasn't the bad guy? We all know they have an agenda, and it's doubly so when it comes to Superman.

              The whole reason he got cancelled was because he got in a twitter fight with a republican politician, who in retaliation brought his creepy sex posts to the attention of Disney Corporate. If anything, he's probably even more woke now than he was when he got fired from Disney in the first place.

    Mixed. For the movie itself, cautiously optimistic because they intend to use Allstar as the framework. For what comes after? A bit concerned, because they are adapting a story that is essentially an ending for the character. Which means either Jon or Kara potentially becoming the Superman stand in for the universe. Same thing with Gunn citing Batman RIP as the inspiration for this universe’s first Batman movie. It would make more sense to do an adaption Tomasi’s run and introduce Jon or do at least one film before the Allstar adaption to get the normies to give a crap about whomever is going to wear the cape in future installments. But seeing as DC has run out of goodwill from a lot of people and superhero fatigue possibly setting, I get why they are just going to swing big with Allstar and RIP.

          Can't have Superman stand for Truth anymore because to a liberal in Hollywood Truth is painful. Justice is a lie that encourages police brutality and enables an unfair system. And the 'American way' is racist, classist, sexist, and needs to be abolished for a 'better tomorrow'.

        This site's culture is antithetical to Superman, which is why there's constantly threads about how much the character supposedly sucks and how he needs fixing and an unending stream of seethe and preemptive copes about how "they're totally gonna make him a homosexual with a scat fetish you'll see bro."

      Shazam and Aquaman are the only decent films there.
      Snyder's garbage was only carried by the brand names of Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman. The movies were dumb deconstructions by a meathead director that thought he was making some deep commentary.

        You're too stupid to understand these movies. I get that. But what you're probably smart enough to understand is that Snyder's movies are the only ones that featured Cavill.

      Gunn is just another edgelord like Snyder with a sense of humor. He has a wheelhouse he should stick to. Giving him Superman is going to be just as much of a disaster. Just for different reasons.

    OP here.

    I'm very optimistic although with a touch of caution.

    Gunn's style of comedy is exactly what audiences want to see alongside actual badassery.

    If we can get Guardians 1 level humor combined with spectacular feats, I truly believe this could what makes modern audiences remember just how entertaining Superman can truly be.

    Especially if they show exactly how deep Clark's character is, which is the only thing I fear maybe missing from the upcoming film.

    I really hope this movie serves as a hard reboot for the DCU, and that we're only getting the Waller show because it was already greenlit prior to DC Studios being formed and not because the Suicide Squad/Peacemaker characters are sticking around. It's fricked up if those are the only ones that get to stay while everyone else gets recast

      Really Gunn just made an impossible task, getting people to actually give a shit about Superman again. Even more impossible.
      The Hardcore fans aren't going to go see it because Cavills not in it, the normal people aren't going to go see it because it's a DC movie and the brand is that in the toilet, and all this is happening right as the Superhero movie trend appears to be on it's way out.
      Even if it's a good movie, I don't think people are going to go see a traditional Superhero movie, during the era where people are moving on from the MCU and want more adult fare like the Boys or Invincible. Making a traditional Superman movie now, is going to make it very hard to stand out in an oversaturated market.

      They fricked up normal Supermans origin story in the DCEU, they need to reestablish him and pave the foundation before they can build on it and have it actually make sense for Clark to want to actually be Superman and take joy in being Superman and not seeing it as an immense burden like Snyderverse Clark.

          Yeah sure. Skip the rocket on the kent farm, his childhood in smallville, but you'll still have to focus on his rise to fame in Metropolis, and how he started out at the Daily Planet, met Jimmy, started his relationship with Lois.

            If not for the fact that Waid triggers this board now I'd say do what Birthright did; have the ship and the kents finding him be the opening credits and then skip to Clark in his early 20s trying to figure shit out.

                I'd skip that part, personally. Superman stopping a school shooting is too politically charged a concept unfortunately. Best to go the Secret Origins/DCAU/Returns route and make it averting a plane crash.

                You don't have to make this guy an over the top parody to get your point across, being incompetent enough to sell guns to underage costumers should be bad enough. Though knowing Gunn lacks all subtly, he'd definitely adapt this this to a Tee and even end it with him pissing his pants or something.

    I'm thinking All Star is going to be more inspiration than framework. Similar tone, trippy, incredible feats, emotionally impacting. Probably some scenes taken from it. I expect to probably see Clark saving Regan, being UNABLE to save Pa Kent, his attempts to reveal his identity to Lois who comedically doesn't buy it, stuff like that.

    With that in mind, what do we imagine the actual PLOT will be ?

    I personally want Lobo as the villain. (I've pitched this idea here a few times) His target ? Space Cabbie, who owes gambling debts to pit bosses from Planet Ventura. Clark has to balance hiding/protecting Cabbie and Metropolis from Lobos mayhem while also juggle dating Lois and doing his job, and also doing his regular smaller hero work around the city to make the sure the little people know he's there for them.

        Depends on how they do it, Pa dying of natural causes like old age or a heart attack serves to ground Clark that he can't do everything and there'll be times where won't be able to save everyone.
        His death in MOS was bullshit and contrived though.

        Sorry I should have specified that he has to die like this in order for it to be good, like in All Star. I had forgotten how awful Snyder did Pa Kent, somehow.

    I genuinely can not picture a Gunn Superman that isnt just a watered down Homelander
    Why can't he just stick to Creature Commandos and The Authority that is clearly what he is good at
    Superman should be given to Raimi or just someone who isn't a cynical butthole which is hard to come by in Pedowood

        It underperformed because the premise was fricking stupid and it was horribly written drivel with two god awful castings that ruined.

        It showed that Snyder had IT to create the type of major action packed movie but goddamnit he desperately needed a decent writer and a producer who'll help him pull his head out of his ass.

        Shit BA was more favorably recieved among the normies.

        Gunn. He has a very down to earth humanist do what you will style. And he will devolve into straight up mean spirited evil with a grin because people are happy.
        He doesn't have the right kind of energy to make the Superman movie that's needed and the thing with Cavil Rock and keeping Ezra around has destroyed all of the good will he had and evaporated the real honest to god once in a lifetime organic hype and hope for the product.

        He desperately needs to pull a uno reverse and realize that people need the idea of superman. He can have superman be a normie square jawed guy who wears two masks.
        Clark and Superman and understands humanity from both angles and have his parents and maybe a few of his childhood friends in smallville really know who he is.

        I believe he can side step the tired basic b***h christ analogue shit and go with celebrity and celebrity worship angle. He'd be more comfortable with that.

        Would actually like to sneak in some Legion of Superheros stuff by having one of his "human" friends be a member of the Legion of Superheroes and be on earth to keep an eye on Superman because the Time Trapper wants to end the line of superman and idea of Kal-El before it becomes the threat that prevents him from attaining his true god hood or something.

        Bonus points if jimmy is a redhead, clark doesn't immediately fall for lois and think she's kind of a c**t, and they use the timmiverse origin of an evil world eating AI.

        If he does braniac/ai better then marvels ultron and make the time trapper a better time villain then kang then...shit bro. It's over.

    DC will have an uphill battle because of the split audience.

    Regardless of whether Gunn's movies will be good or bad it will be thrashed by MCUcks and Snyder Stans alike, which will affect their appeal to the general public.
