DC Cinematic Universe ( The James Gunn era)

[JD]

Random guess - Superman and Supergirl…
Plus Krypto!

It would be natural next step after her solo movie next year. I think it’s only reason Gunn was reluctant to say he was working on “Superman 2” . Meaning not direct a follow-up to events in the first movie. Superman is part of a bigger universe. If not Kara someone else in “family”. What if Luthor made a 2nd clone that is a teenager? Too soon for Superboy.

Gunn said he was not a fan of subtitles. Why he dropped Legacy from Superman. Also dropped Woman of Tomorrow from Supergirl. Which is fine for first film but what about sequels? I have this feeling he is trying to redefine how sequels are labeled and marketed. Even if it basically ends up being “Superman 2” anyways.

That was my thinking as well.

I also really liked Tyler Hoechlin's Superman on Superman and Lois. He was wonderful. It's a shame that show didn't get the extra 3 seasons the producers wanted.

It was never going to happen. The new CW owners are bigger cheapskates than the previous CW owners, and that's saying something.

I would also honour George Newbern and Jerry O'Connell for their DCAU and DCAMU contributions

If we're counting voice artists, no one's ever surpassed the original Superman, Bud Collyer. And Newbern was a replacement for Tim Daly, who played Superman in The Animated Series, and whose version I slightly prefer over Newbern's.

Well, wasn't there a possibility that James Gunn could've picked up the show for HBO2 or something?

I dunno. I just really liked Superman and Lois. I watched all but the last season of Supergirl and mostly liked that, although I thought it was jumping the shark at the end. I also watched some of The Flash.

But Superman and Lois, imo, was much better than either of those. I wasn't sure it was going to work, with Superman as a dad to teenage sons, but with solid writing, great references to the comics, and a wonderful cast, they pulled it off.

I've always preferred Newbern myself but a part of that is because the Newbern-Eisenberg-Conroy trinity was very strong and they reprised them for Injustice and DCUO so we kept getting more. Strong performances with strong chemistry.
