If that's the final runtime then I'm out.
129 minutes? What's wrong with that? As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, that's about the same as the average length of most superhero movies. Indeed, the average length of all seven theatrical Superman solo movies to date (not counting Superman and the Mole Men) is 130 minutes, so that puts this just about exactly in the middle.
Sorry, the site sabotaged my incredibly dumb joke by putting my post on the top of a new page. I'll fix it with an edit.
Oh, I get it now.
Some people would still do it.

I LOLed.
All versions are owned by Warner, so it would be possible, but who would really want to see that? One, there's no "perfect union" of fandom where crossovers / referencing older adaptations are concerned, as some would not want what they consider the superior version tied to a version they do not like. Two, when it happens, rarely does it work (e.g., the Berlanti-verse / DC "crisis" non-event was cheap and misguided), so all things considered, a crossover idea with Supermen should be avoided.
Would each surviving actor would want to participate in such a thing?

I'm sure there is a subset of DC Fans who would.
Just like the SpiderMan fans who enjoyed seeing all Live-Action Movie incarnations of SpiderMan together on-screen.
Of course, I wasn't expecting that.
That wouldn't happen.
But I'm not out there to please that sub-set.
I'm out there to please those who enjoy SuperMan in general and are generally okay with most incarnations of him.
TV shows are very budget constrained, they don't have the $$$ like a movie would. And they only pulled in 3x SuperMen I believe.
Brandon Routh, Tyler Hoechlin, & Tom Welling.
Tom Welling was a short Cameo as well, he didn't have much participation other than a few scenes.
It was really Brandon Routh & Tyler Hoechlin who did the heavy SuperMan lifting scene wise.
Given the recent financial success of "Spider-Man: No Way Home" in the box office, I'm sure some top execs are thinking, if Sony & Spider-Man can pull it off, why can't a more famous Comic Book character like SuperMan pull it off?
There are 8x SuperMen currently alive: (Technically 6x SuperMan's & 2x SuperBoy's)
- John Haynes Newton
- Gerard Christopher
- Dean Cain
- Tom Welling
- Brandon Routh
- Henry Cavill
- Tyler Hoechlin
- David Corenswet
You won't know until you ask them and make a financial offer to be part of the movie.
Not enough to justify the costs of such an undertaking.
And yes, I know you're going to say there is. But that's projecting personal viewpoints across the board.
Wasn't that what the other execs at Sony were saying when they thought of bringing in Tobey Maguire & Andrew Garfield?
Yet the Gamble paid off.
They never said that. Literally never.
I've never seen "The Peacemaker". But I really loathed "The Suicide Squad". And I'm referring to the 2021 movie, not the 2016 one. I haven't enjoyed a James Gunn movie since 2014's "Guardians of the Galaxy". But "The Suicide Squad" really sealed my negative opinion of him as a filmmaker . . . at least as a screenwriter.
I thought it was a great movie. Very entertaining.
So the Sony Execs were 100% on-board with bringing in the previous Spider-Men?
They were very confident that it was going to help their movie?
IDIC and all that.
