Should James Gunn create a character bible for the DCU?
WB is doing that thing again where they go all in without at least one proven success
>>143365983Would you rather it be retarded like the comics?
>>143365983And if that wasn't bad enough Gunn's last DC movie bombed horribly
>planning to make everything in your DC slate part of a single overarching story that's not even out yetsounds like a retarded version of the mcu.I wish DC would just fire Gunn and give me 5 movies that lead to a big vs darkseid movie
>>143366013Men of Steel, Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, and Justice League were the 5 DC movies that was eventually going to led to the Justice League fighting Darkseid.
>>143365965Apparently his Superman looks like the new52one with a collar and all.
>>143365983Tbf James Gunn has a much better track record than Zack Snyder
>>143366113yah but it failed and now they can try to do it right
>>143366137>1 half of an ok movie and 2 cringefests
>>143365965Tom King is involved in this, isn't he?
>>143366013>>143366113>>143366150I would’ve preferred 5 movies than a justice league movie where they fight starro. But they already burnt him so now what’re we gonna get? Mongo as an arc long villain? Vandal savage maybe?
>>143366302Jurassic League is using Darkseid too.
Isn't the rumor that this is going to lead up to New Frontier? Chapter 1 is literally called God's and Monsters.
>>143366302Crisis Movie with Flash and Supergirl as protagonists and Anti Monitor and Psycho Pirate as the villainsreboot Superman meets Cavill as earth 2 Superman
>>143366382This is too autistic.
>>143365996I'd rather they stick to what they're good at and focus on animated shows.
>>143366013I really hope they don't go that route. You can have one universe and connecting plot points without doing this specific style of storytelling. But what's most important to me is that the movies all have different tones. I think want some funnier, some more serious. I don't want them to just imitate the Marvelquip style and only do that.
>>143366407good, it'll filter out the casuals and gunn cultists
>>143366495Without casuals DC will fail like the comics.
>>143366150Based retard
>>143365983Superhero movies are in their twilight, there is no more time for test runs
>>143366517Exactly. But nerds refuse to understand that they're not enough to turn a profit.
>>143365983They could've waited for Superman to be a success. If that shit flops, then everyone's gonna look like a retard and lose a shit ton of money.
>>143366162>contrarian faggot thinks the only movies Gunn's made are the Guardians movies
>>143367034I don't know why I should care but if I did it wouldn't change my mind on the guardians movies or the shit he did after.
>>143366117That makes it easier to hide the rubber muscles
>>143366137Not with DC. Snyder's films were moderately successful while Gunn's was the least.
>>143367305Gunn's movie was same day HBO Max at the height of the pandemic.
>>143365965He already did, back in December 2022. It was one of the first things Zaslav had him do after he gave him the job
>>143367382Does that include a DC character bible, because they need one, badly.
>>143367357>muh pandemicLiterally every capeshit movie that year did better than his shitty movie. Spiderman made 2 billion. Black Widow was released under similar circumstances (simultaneously in theaters and on streaming) and made over twice as much. Even the Venom sequel made four times as much.
>>143367305>Snyder’s films were moderately successfulIf by moderately successful you mean a strong opening weekend then massive (one even holds the record) second weekend drops then sure. Or if by successful you mean “made the first Batman/Superman team up movie at the height of the super hero boom but couldn’t even reach a billion at a time when every super hero, even Carol fucking Danvers hit a billion” then yeah he was successful
>>143367487>all those movies are PG-13>Gunn’s Suicide Squad was rated R
>Should James Gunn create a character bible for the DCU?Yeah... If he is able travel back to 2013, maybe?
>>143365965thats literally the best idea for not letting any activist fuck up with the dcumcu should have done this way back into phase 1, even with the x-men and fantastic four that they didn't have at the time
>>143366235I remember tom king is involved into the makings of DCU and remember that we are all fucked up with our hobbies
