DC Cinematic Universe ( The James Gunn era)

[Tuskin38]

I know this is about the movies, but we don't really have a General DC thread

But I just found out the part of the DCAU Justice League and Justice League Unlimited animated series soundtracks are on Spotify and other services. Right now there are just 'Volume 1' releases, but there's a ton of tracks, including a bunch never released separate from the shows before.

I was hoping so, but I thought I'd gotten the impression they were a MAGA true believer in another thread, so I thought they might actually be serious.

Serious enough. I’ve also had experiences elsewhere on the forum. The av is no joke either.

WBD Boss David Zaslav Celebrates DC Win At The Box Office: “Superman Is Just The First Step”

“Three years ago, I hired James Gunn and Peter Safran to reimagine and unify the creative direction of DC under one leadership team, by breathing new life and excitement into one of the most iconic storytelling franchises in the world. James and Peter’s commitment to honoring the legacy of the DC Universe while forging something new and enthralling is inspired.

“I remember my first meeting with James three years ago. He spoke about growing up in Missouri and how the characters of the DC Universe weren’t just stories to him, they were like his family. His personal bond with these DC heroes was powerful and I knew then that James was the right person to bring them to life. His love for the DC world runs deep, and it shines in every frame of his work.

“This weekend, we watched Superman soar as James Gunn’s passion and vision came to life on the big screen. Superman is just the first step. Over the next year alone, DC Studios will introduce the films Supergirl and Clayface in theaters and the series Lanterns on HBO Max, all part of a bold ten-year plan. The DC vision is clear, the momentum is real, and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead.”

It’s all Hollywood PR. One small mistake and they’ll brush Gunn off

“We wish Gunn and Safran the best on their next endeavor.”

This means nothing.

 

[thribs]

I like that it has the feel of 1990's DC.

 

[Awesome Possum]

Supergirl is a mess, I adore her already.

One small mistake and they’ll brush Gunn off

A movie with this many superheroes in it should bring in a cool 2 billion, according to 2016 logic

I could only wish that they did '90s DC, and did a real take on the Wally West Flash, or the fall of Hal Jordan and Kyle Raynor, or Connor's Superboy, Steel, Parallax, Sentinel, Azrael Batman/Knightfall, Aquaman with a hook, or any of the actual iconic 90s moments. I don't see that ever happening, but damn was the '90s a fun comic book era.

I'm glad for Gunn, but I'd rather not see Zaslav succeed.

 

[Awesome Possum]

Yeah Zaslav sucks shit, Gunn is a great guy.

 

[Phoenix219]

A great guy that has an incredibly disturbing, sketchy twitter history......

Remember when Tom Cruise said The Flash was one of the best movies he'd ever seen?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Shame he can't be the paragon of virtue like your avatar, the actual (proven in court) rapist, racist, bigot, possible pedophile, fascist, the list goes on and on.

Hey dude, your cope is showing.


About Zaslav being happy with Gunn, could we, please, now finally get to see Coyote vs Acme, which Gunn co-wrote and co-produced?

I think Coyote vs Acme is being released next year.

 

[Set Harth]

We don't need to see it, we're living it!

Yep! Ketchup Entertainment bought the rights, with intent to release to cinemas in 2026 in the US, and presuming distributor interest, the rest of the world.

Box Office Mojo is reporting Superman took in $215 million worldwide on its first weekend, which is pretty darned good. If it has legs, it could go far.

Question time!

Spoiler: The ‘S’?

Will the ‘S’ be changed from the House of El logo to something that looks more related to an English S? Considering they sent their kid as a conqueror.

 

[Mudd]

I'd hope not. The Alex Ross "S" has grown on me.

It's sleeker and more modern, and more plausible as a Kryptonian glyph than a shape that is an English "S" right down to the head and tail serifs.

And, let's get nitpicky - Clark and Kara share a uniform design, but has it been established in the DCU that the shield is associated with their family specifically?

I don't suppose Clark knows much of anything about Kryptonian culture other than what his parents looked and sounded like...
