DC Cinematic Universe ( The James Gunn era)

I'm starting to think Nicholas Hault might be our best movie Luthor yet.

Honestly, that wouldn't be hard. Hackman gave a terrific performance, but that version of the character wasn't a very good representation of Lex Luthor. And the only other live-action film Luthors are Lyle Talbot, Kevin Spacey, and Jesse Eisenberg. The best Luthors to date have all been in television -- Sherman Howard, Clancy Brown, Michael Rosenbaum, Jon Cryer. We'll have to see how Hoult stands up against them, although I agree it looks promising.

Sony Rumored to Be Considering Warner Bros. Discovery Streaming and Studios Acquisition

Sony is reportedly considering an acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery Streaming and Studios. This would take place after the split.

We now have the outside possibility of Spider-Man joining the DC movie universe in a few years, assuming Sony really does announce the acquisition of Warner Brothers in 2027.

So far, the Sony rumor has no apparent traction on reputable industry news sites - it seems to be a creature of the gaming sites. Possibly Sony's looking at Warners' gaming division.

We'll see...

The logic makes some sense and I can actually see a movie called Superman making more cash than Superman: Legacy, but it's the same kind of thinking that leads to two films released 5 years apart with the same actors in the same roles both being called Suicide Squad.

Names aren't just for marketing, they're also needed for us to tell things apart and to indicate what we're referring to. It'll never just be 'Superman' in discussion, it'll be 'the new Superman film' or 'James Gunn's Superman' or 'Superman '25' or whatever. If you don't give something a unique name people will give it one for you.

I don’t disagree with you, but I’m reminded of the fact that Tim Burton apparently wanted to call his Batman sequel Batman; he reckoned that when one or the other was on tv in years to come, people would just figure out which one it was after watching it for a while.

Well, Suicide Squad and The Suicide Squad. But yeah, the modern trend toward minimalist titles, even to the point of repetition, is not something I'm a fan of. Titles should offer clarity, and giving the exact same title to different films, when one is not a remake of the other, works against clarity.

James Gunn, BTW, says that the infamous wandering-eye-flying-toward-camera shot isn't in the final movie. He says that it wasn't a finished shot and, in the end, he didn't love it.

He comes across as pretty candid for someone in his position.
