Oz did NOT plan to kill vic.

He killed him on IMPULSE like he did with many others when he got triggered by something he didn't like that was said.
this is what i think as well. the word family triggered Oz. as soon as Oz heard that, he knew he had to kill Vic when he didn't want to, which is why he said 'fukk Vic'.

It's like you just found out the difference between Batman and Superman :mjlol:
It's like I wasn't talking about Superman but actually the ENTIRE DCU since he's also going to have his own Batman too

This is exactly how it should be, Batman is only on the JL because of his popularity, it never made sense, Batman is street level scum of the earth psychopaths while superman is mad geniuses, inter dimensional beings, Aliens etc.
Same thing here.. We see the same thing in EVERY Gunn movie. So yea Superman is NEXT... But if you think the DCU is going to be more like THE Batman and not like GotG, y'all tripping.


Give this shyt to Reeves

Yall cant have it both ways. It has to be a world capable of Clayface, Mr. Freeze, Killer Croc, etc. Keep thinking Reeves is gonna give you that. It's ok to enjoy both separately.
Reeves has said he thinks a grounded Freeze can work. There's an iteration of Clayface where it's just a failed actor good at disguising himself and Eve has the same last name as him.

But a lot of the "comicy" shyt will definitely be in Gunn's version.

:hubie:...This grounded lane is gonna carry him thru his trilogy and he's been delivering even though I wasn't a huge fan of The Batman on it's own. We just have to accept this and the DCU wouldn't mingle properly.

Still not very enthused by The Batman but enjoyed this.

One thing I didn’t like was how much they tried to sell this grounded, not a “comic book”/superhero show right up until they need something comic-booky to move the plot forward.

I feel like the same style of writing can be applied to something that doesn’t seem ashamed of the source material and come out even better.

I can’t wait to see how they find a middle ground with the DCU Batman content but I’d take a couple more of these villain led limited series from the Reeve’s verse. Give me a Richard Kuklinski style Mr. Freeze

:whoo:
