DC Cinematic Universe ( The James Gunn era)

Feels like an overdose of Super-characters. Seems like there's a lot more that could/should be started.

The old DCFU probably SHOULD have started with JUstice League, and immeidately followed up by Man of STeel, and then whoever the breakout character was (likely Wonder Woman at that time), and then JUstice League 2, with more characters/entries to follow.



I am calling it now....

Justice Gang *

So, what you're describing is George Miller's "Justice League: Mortal", which was set to film in 2007 and debut in 2008.
Start with the Justice League fully formed for the first part of the trilogy, then spin offs from that, followed by second movie and spin offs from that, finishing up with the third movie.

Superman in Peacemaker 2?
 
If that’s the case, they don’t work that well, because he still looks an awful lot like Superman.

I still think that's something a Superman story should lean into. "Hey, Clark, did anyone ever tell you you look kind of like Superman?" "Yeah, I get that a lot." I mean, people look like other people all the time, and usually nobody assumes they actually are the other person in disguise, just that it's a striking resemblance.

Heck, there are people who work as professional celebrity impersonators. Maybe Clark could get a part-time job as a Superman impersonator for mall openings or parties or whatever, to strengthen his cover.

Yes. I’ve cited before the observation (cribbed from somewhere long forgotten) that if you worked in an office, and somebody in your office looked exactly like Brad Pitt, no sane person would default to thinking it’s actually Brad Pitt, unaccountably masquerading as your coworker. You’d just figure it was a crazy resemblance.

There's the story of Tom Cruise preparing for his role in Collateral by spending the day posing as a Fed Ex delivery person and no one recognized him.

Somebody once came up to me in a store (a Blockbuster Video store, which should tell you how long ago this was) and said he thought I looked like Paul McCartney. I don't see the resemblance myself, but hey, at least he didn't say Ringo.

I’ve been told I looked like numerous celebrities over the years — George Harrison, Leonard Nimoy, Randolph Mantooth, Richard Gere, probably one or two others I’ve forgotten. And maybe I’m really all of them. :lol:
 
I've never been told I look like celebrity, but I apparently do have doppelganger who went a different high school in the area, because I've had several people who thought they knew from that high school, which I've never even been too.
