DC Cinematic Universe ( The James Gunn era)

I'm not that attached to the whole "Last Son of Krytpon" thing so I don't mind them introducing other Kryptonians.

What gets me are continuities that depict Krypton having active interstellar travel yet somehow having no survivors besides the Super-family, like the way it was done in the Arrowverse. If they had routine starflight, there should've been a lot of immigrants, tourists, traders, diplomats, etc. off-planet at the time Krypton exploded. The Arrowverse never got around to explaining that discrepancy.

Half the time DC Comics themselves have no idea what to do with that particular storyline.
One reboot Kal-El is all alone, the next one the city of Kandor has a million survivors.
Back n forth. Tiresome.

Interesting font in the logo.
I think it matches the font on the covers of the series upon which the story is based.
I’ve seen fans complain about it elsewhere, apparently not recognizing that it’s supposed to be suggestive of Old West style lettering, like you’d expect to see on a “Wanted” poster. It’s a nod to the fact the story is essentially a Western quest story transplanted to outer space, inspired by True Grit.
 
I really need to go back and read the story before the movie comes out. It was the first Tom King work I read, and King's series need to be read as a single novel which I didn't do.
The recent Deluxe Edition hardcover is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
 
REVIEW: The Thrilling ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 Goes Above and Beyond, Balancing Humour And Heart
Much has been made in discourse around comic book media these past few years from entertainment journalists and social media obsessives alike around franchise media of franchises being bloated monoliths, tangled up in the barbed wire of their own lore. Such a charge can be justifiably made against a range of camps, including the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars (fuelled by Disney’s often scattershot and inconsistent approach to streaming television entries). Lest people forget, DC underwent multiple regime changes over the past decade alongside a chequered success rate (from audiences and critics). James Gunn’s rise to creative steward and co-CEO of the recently-formed DC Studios, however, symbolised an opportunity for new beginning and a fresh start, heralded by 2024’s Creature Commandos and last month’s Superman.
