Agreed. I am skipping this. I applaud the current 'whatever we're calling it' version of DC movies, because it dares to be different. But this is simply not my thing.

About Bloys on the cancelled DC projects:

Acclaimed Comic Writer Grant Morrison Sums Up The Criticism Of Jason Momoa's Lobo In Supergirl
Pretty straightforward, but there's still some thinking early announcements guaranteed production when is rarely worked that way. At present, the Gunnverse's direction is going to be scaled down; if so, the idea that Gunn, Safran, et al. were going to launch this sprawling CD universe out of the gates was a bit premature.

Grant Morrison killed the second and third best Green Lantern runs of the 21st century. Eff what he thinks.
Lobo over the top? SHOCKING!
Grant Morrison = zzzzzzzz
Seriously when I was most active as a comic book reader in 90s there were already highly regarded writers and artists. But nothing like the later rock star creators of recent decades. Where everything they touch is treated like gold regardless of content or results. Which may make me seem old and out of touch to some. I do not care. Current comic book readership is actually very small. Yet the current creators to a small audience are treated like their opinions matter on everything...
There got that off my chest! LOL

Speaking of comics, anyone else reading Absolute Batman? I put it off for a long time because the art made it look like pure edgelord nonsense. But I finally picked up the first trade paperback and actually really enjoyed the story and take on the characters.
Sara Gilbert has joined the cast of The People v. Gorilla Grodd as a journalist.
She was always my favorite on Roseanne/The Conners so I'm pretty excited about this news!

Morrison was one of those highly regarded writers in the 90s (and 80s). Lots of great creatives eventually go cuckoo, unfortunately. And there are always fans who buy into the hype way too much, though I imagine those particular fans were probably a lot less visible before social media.
I looked ahead at future issues after the first 6 issues. I don't know if I like how this Joker is portrayed.
-He's 150 years old at least.
-Transforms into a hideous monster that eats his rival business partners or people that get in his way
-He prolongs his life by experimenting on the orphans he houses for his philanthropist role.
My problem is that he's become SO powerful and rich and connected(He's been the pioneer of new innovations such as cable networks and video games and then software and computer chip development)
-He played both sides in World War 2 for kicks
-He orchestrated the birth of his daughter Harley from the very beginning
That I don't know how Batman can stop him
He's even suggested to Bruce that he orchestrated Bruce becoming Batman as a fun side project which has thrown working class Bruce into paranoia

I mean. That's too much
I've read most of Absolute Batman at this point and it gets really dark.
Damn. We were denied a Green Lantern/Stuart Fails to Save the Universe crossover with Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan.
Not that they didn't want to do it, but HBOMax nixed it.

I loved Morrison's Invisibles, but I'm a weirdo. 
Morrison swings for the fences. Sometimes their takes turn out great, sometimes they turn out shit. That goes for their writing as well as their opinions.
Cool, I'm a big fan of hers too.
Damn, I've been really enjoying Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, and that would have been a ton of fun.
I'm assuming it would have been in the episode where they're in the comic book. The episode has the characters getting help from Jay Garrick, and I think they did make a reference to not being was reference to not being able to get Green Lantern. I'm assuming Hal would have been in Jay Garrick role, and the joke about not getting Green Lantern must have been a reference to what really happened.
I was struck by the fact that I really enjoyed All-Star Superman but really didn't like Morrison's Batman comics. I figured maybe Morrison's writing style was better suited to Superman.
The first time I heard of Grant Morrison was when they took over writing duties on The Doom Patrol.
It was almost a complete 180° from the previous writer that it took me a long time before I could like it and their writing style.
Almost everything else of their's since then has been really hit or miss.

I wasn't reading comics in the 90s so I missed those runs. I did read All-Star Superman, Seven Soldiers and a good portion of their early run on Batman with the introduction of Damien. I thought their New 52 take on Superman was excellent. What I love about thier stories is that they pull from obscure elements and that they love to tell stories that often only make complete sense in the final pages of the final issue. I almost always go back and reread the story when I'm done.
I disliked Final Crisis, but that may have been primarily because of the editorial eff up that happened there. I also thought their run on Green Lantern was a disappointment, but I may have enjoyed it more if the two running GL series at the time hadn't been cancelled. In those two cases, it is hard to separate what was actually on the page and what happened around the story so I'm like biased.

Yep, I imagine next to no one is surprised. The film's failures march forward.
