SUPERMAN by James Gunn (Coming 2025)

Bruh I just don’t understand the fascination with keeping Batman grounded. His whole concept is the opposite lol

Hot take but Nolan was the worst thing to happen to the character if not the genre, That man clearly does not like comic books.

Every thing I am hearing about this movie just sounds amazing.

All about the execution. Im pretty sure MoS sounded good on paper as well

You might be right I think they associate fantastical with Batman and robin when you can play up the comic elements while still having a serious tone

I understand im optimistic about this as well

Part of the reason I'm excited for Brave and the Bold with Robin. Gimme fantastical villains with powers and shyt

The actual metrics says otherwise. I like MoS but it didn’t do what WB needed it to do

85% of the board liked it. We can talk about box office, It did over $600M on memory. That wasn't "bad" considering they had just attempted a Superman movie before that. It was good enough for WB to give the keys to Snyder initially.

Nowadays, movies would kill for $600M+

We not the majority they want to reach. They wanted the mcu audience

It's hard as fukk to pull off. Really, every live action batman we've ever seen, has been somewhat grounded. And extremely grounded if we're comparing what he does in comics/cartoons. He's a normal ass human brehs. Battling gods and shyt. And beating them all. As long as he has enough time to think about how. And you have to sell that to audiences not only with the plot,. but with the visuals.

That's why even in his most recent film, with all the latest tech, they had to have him struggle to beat one jobber. It's much easier to have him fight other street level characters. That's why his most known adversaries are street level dudes

If Gunn pulls off a comic cannon Batman in live action, he'd be the first and the best

Even with normal people they don’t really show him having good hand to hand fights except for BvS. They can just do tech villains that way they don’t have to ground them. Him being a team up movie will be a hard sell because he will look out of place
