SUPERMAN by James Gunn (Coming 2025)

[Mission249]

Looks solid overall just a few concerns:
- Gunn is absolutely obsessed with animals and weird creatures and will never give up a chance to stick one into the movie/show whether it's needed or not. He got one with Rocket and Groot but won't stop running that same play over and over. Dog owners never get that we don't like your damn pets as much as you like them.

- The Lex Luthor in the cartoon is perfect. There he's both an intellectual and a physical presence - larger and with a booming voice. I don't think live action has ever gotten this right.

There's this great scene in the animated film where Superman visits Lex in jail while Lex is lifting weights and being like "You were just born like this. I have to work for it " You can tell he's not just jealous of Superman's superficial strength but also the love Superman gets from the people. He's misguided cause he thinks the love is because of the strength.

I honestly think Gunn should bring Snyder back to finish the Snyderverse


Go in the way actual comic books went with it. There were always different versions of stories and writers and artists.


Might be expensive but people will watch and they got the money. Can still keep it organized and even have the crossovers. Could put it on Max, finish it on Netflix, etc. still DC and WB who cares

Be completely insane brehs

DC told Snyder to make a 2 hour movie and dude made a 4 hour movie and 20 minutes of it had to just be Aquaman coming out of the water leaving t shirts all over the ground. Snyder get within 100 yards of a DC movie studio and they probably have a clone of Lee Harvey Oswald put one in his head.

I well say Gunn knows how to do an ensemble cast movie ( Guardians was great, Suicide Squad not so much ) so at least he sticking to what he know.

I refuse to watch the trailer via my phone but I looked at the stills and it looks promising.

Pretty good teaser

So it looks like I WAS RIGHT.

They filmed it the exact way Gemini Man was filmed with popping high contrast colors but the motion just looks weird and not movie like.

This is gonna be a DISASTER because everything and ESPECIALLY the action is just going to look absurdly FAKE.

Snyder planned a love triangle with Batman, Clark & Lois, eventually kill off Batman, then have Clark and Lois have a child that Clark will help raise to be the next Batman.

I think we dodged a bullet, keep that man at home

Lol... what... 'Gemini Man' was filmed at 120FPS. The 4K was rendered at 60FPS. This looks nothing like that....

The Will Smith movie ?

That would be a real random movie to try and rip something from

Jesus Christ

 

[Ironman]

Krypto been around since fukkING 1955 He's a literal staple of Superman loreY'all CAN'T be Superman fans complaining about the GOAT super pet. Matter Fact every other super pet was inspired by him same way Superman is the inspiration for everyone else.

Also, one of this movies major influence IS All Star Superman which Gunn has said himself. Lex will be like that from a personality levelJust because he isn't jacked Jesus Christ

Random thoughts:

More Snyderman than I was expecting. Thought it would be a straight up repudiation of Snyder but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I know that regular ass house aint supposed to be the Kent farm.

Fire the cinematographer asap. Same guy who did the The Flash is the DP on this and while its not quite as ugly as that movie its walking a tightrope and its leaning Flash on a couple shots in the trailer. That nikka Gunn lied too. Yesterday he said only 1 shot from that 30 sec teaser was in the trailer in response to the cheap CW comments. Then the whole trailer drop and it still got that cheap look.

Lex look like he walked out of a Agent 47 themed Tom Ford ad

Also the trailer does kind’ve look like a glorified CW product. Hope it looks better on screen.

NAH

shyt IS GIVING CW VIBES
FUSED WITH GOTG GUITAR CHORDS


​

I thought I was the only one. Everything I've seen so far about this movie looks cheaps. I hope the finished product will be better than what I've seen thus far

Dc just cannot figure out this cinematic universe shyt out. This shyt look like I came straight off of CW

I've been telling y'all since he was announced.

Gunn is going to tank the Superman and Batman brands on Detroit PISTONS level tank.

Superman Returns was GARBAGE but you can already see this movie won't even have an action scene on the level of this




You have an ALL POWERFUL superpowered character. EVERYTHING should look like a damn spectacle at the MINIMUM .

Hopefully, this starts the DC comeback.

MCU needs some competition in the superhero department, as their quantity over quality approach has been a huge miss for me.

relax lol its a damn teaser trailer that didn't even show anything with context

If this version of the DCU lasts for 16+ years like the MCU they will need to have room to tell every story. It will be too late to try a push an origin story down the line. And when screenwriter start making up their own stories to compensate that when you will get the most trash.

Not every origin story is the same type of origin story.

The New Gods simply are the New Gods. We don’t need to see Darkseid’s origin played out to get his motivation anymore than Bay’s Transformers didn’t start on Cybertron like the recent animated movie did.

You’re making an argument of what ifs based on nothing but conjecture even though we have examples of no origin movies being well received
