>starts his new universe with a bunch of animated D-listersWhy did he think this was a good idea?
>>156237349Should he have just made fifteen batman movies to satisfy you?
>>156237349>Wonder Woman>likely still had to wait out Gal Gadot's contract + get away from WW1984>Batman>Matt Reeves was taking a while to do stuff and probably signed a contract that made cancelling his projects financially unfeasible>Flash>the Ezra Miller film was gonna flop even if they didn't announce a reboot, and they would need some distance from it>Aquaman>last pre-reboot film was Aquaman 2>Green Lantern>Green Lantern TV show was in development
>>156237349I don't know but I liked that show and I liked his Superman movie a lot. I thought Suicide Squad was just okay, and I hated the first season of Peacemaker so I didn't watch the second. I haven't seen Supergirl or Lanterns or Clayface.
>>156237399Yes! Batman should be WB’s main priority in fixing, not Superman.Disney is making trillions with MCU Spider-Man and WB can’t even get Batman to become popular again.
"It worked for Guardians of the Galaxy, so it'll work again!"
>>156237349Because Marvel managed to turn a bunch of B listers into larger than the X Men.
>>156237561Again, how?>Matt Reeves signed a contract Pre-COVID>The Batman was not a flop by post-COVID standards or even post-Snyder standards so they can't push out Reeves for losing money>There doesn't seem to be any indication that Reeves wanted to put his Batman universe in Gunn's universeSince they never cancelled production of The Batman Part 2 I'm assuming that cancelling the project was probably more costly than letting him go through with it (see: Alex Kurtzman Star Trek era and Amazon's Rings of Power show), even if he had to leave partway for personal reasons
>>156237677That was only because Marvel was forced to use their less popular characters due to film rights issues. WB OWNS EVERY DC CHARACTER'S FILM RIGHTS.
>>156237349>D-listersHe doesn’t even give a shit about them. He rewrites them to be 40 year old manchildren with daddy issues so he can clap his hands while they dance to whatever shitty song from his childhood he used as a needledrop
>>156237349Gunn was far more committed to his personal taste and preferences rather than actually building a working cinematic universe.You can see that with how he rushed into production a Supergirl movie with an awful script while he had nothing working or in production for fucking Batman and Wonder Woman.He should have gone back-to-back annual releases of Superman, Wonder Woman, and then Batman. I get that Batman was tough because of other The Batman series, but he could have done like an animated movie or something.
>>156237561So your DC movies are just Batman. That’s not sustainable
>>156237399There is a middle ground, you know. No need to jump to another extreme like a dumbass
>>156237858>He should have gone back-to-back annual releases of Superman, Wonder Woman, and then Batman.And have them flop?
>>156237866There is no middle ground to people who keep screaming you have to copy Marvel and then turn and cry that you’re just a Marvel ripoff
>>156237592This. I think people forget that GotG was a movie about a group of absolute unknowns at the time, and it ended up being the 3rd highest grossing marvel movie at the time, after iron man 3 and the avengers. Also, their big tentpole movies about the the a listers were doing worse and worse in theaters as time went on. I'm sure they were also looking at Spiderman and what happened in the early 2000s, thinking that a quick turnaround on reboots wasn't great.
>>156237399literally yes
>>156237859DC was at it's most successful when it was just Batman films.
>>156237349The funny thing is that his Creature Commandos only had one member from the original run (G.I.Robot) and even then he was only in the last few issues and was mute
>>156237399One Batman may have been nice
WB should just sell all DC properties that aren't Batman.
>>156238254That was not gonna happen with Matt Reeves taking a while to get The Batman Part 2 done
>>156237859Have you seen DC comic sales? It's all batman or absolute books. Absolute batman of course being the crown jewel
>>156238319Honestly, they should probably have an anime studio do a Absolute Batman animated movie.
>>156238357They're already making an animated show based on it
>>156237349because it's so heckin' subversive d00d!! Expect le unexpected xD *holds up epic spork of DOOM!!!!111!!1!!1!1!!111!!!!!!11*
>>156238068>6/10 projects in Gods and Monsters are never happeningLMAO
>>156238254You got Matt Reeves Batman>NOOOOO IT DOESN’T COUNT BECAUSE NO CROSSOVERS
>>156237592This so much.I like a few of Gunn’s movies but they are ALL the damn same. Let’s take some lesser known characters and put a bunch of 70s music in the background. Oh all the characters are assholes who don’t take anything seriously but they’re actually really deep. At least one scene where a character calls another something like an “ass-dick” and it becomes a boring tired running gag.
>>156237349All Gunn's ideas are bad. He just knows how to turn bad ideas into surprisingly entertaining final products.
