DC Cinematic Universe ( The James Gunn era)

Richard Matheson would disagree. His philosophy was that if you want to include a fantastic element in a story, it's important to keep everything around it as grounded and believable as possible to facilitate suspension of disbelief.

With all respect to Matheson — and he deserves enormous respect — I’m not sure how much this applies to superhero comics (or adaptations thereof), which are usually stuffed full to bursting with virtually nothing but fantastic elements.

But I mean, if the cube Earth didn’t work for you, then it didn’t work for you. No harm no foul.

I don’t think he would agree that it is okay to suck all the fun out of a story.

For me, a cubical planet or star just goes too far.

Why? Different universe, different laws of physics.

Did Richard Matheson write superhero comic books? Or superhero movies, or TV?

Yes, genre matters. No such rules are universal. These stories virtually never consist of "one fantastic element;" the very fabric of the fictional universes they take place in is woven of the impossible and magical, dressed up by the use of jargon popularized by 20th century pulp science fiction.

It seems that there is a countdown display in Times Square from DC Studios, teasing that “something is coming” at 1:15 p.m. EST today. All the rumors had the teaser trailer making its debut tomorrow, but I won’t be mad if they were wrong.

ETA: Some are saying it’s just a poster, and the trailer is still tomorrow. Guess we’ll find out in about an hour and a half.

Turns out it is just a poster today.

Trailer releases tomorrow at noon ET.

I still stand that "Call me" by Blondie SHOULD have been used in Doctor Who at some point. Maybe during Capaldi's era. It sounds alot like the Doctor Who theme


Trailer countdown in 22 hours

I'll be at work when the trailer drops, so I'm gonna be awaiting the end of my shift tomorrow slightly more anxiously than usual.

Some Guardians of the Galaxy vibes in that teaser

Having not read anything about the comics it's based on I'm assuming that this movie will establish the off world, alien element of this new DCU

Which is cool!
