How long does Gunn have at DC?
>>
He has exactly one more movie left
The entire reason they brought Gunn is because Snyder couldn't deliver avengers Avengers-level of box office success.

His next movie needs to make like 1billion at least or else he is done. Everything else is COPE.
>>
>>214872723
I've seen the last episode.
Peacemaker, Our Vigilante, Earth X Vigilante, Eagly, Flurry (who's actually the alien the Chris talks to in the in-between room) and G.I.Robot go back to Earth X to fight the Nazis, and Peacemaker destroys the portal suitcase thing, so they won't be coming back.
>>
>>214872723
He has until Clayface bombs or the merger is announced

Whichever comes first

The merger rumour is awful. WB owns HBO(and GoT) and DC.

I unironically wish the best for WB
>>
>>214872723
If Supergirl also flops (and she 100% will), then Gunn is finished. Zaslav cancels his Superman 2 and shelvs Lanterns show.
>>
This is a Snyder jeet containment thread
>>
>>214873037
DC’s brand is INCREDIBLY damaged. Spending $200 million on movies and $100 million on shows is unjustified.

Instead, DC should have focused on making one $100 million Batman movie, one Superman movie, and one Wonder Woman movie, with an emphasis on minimal CGI to save costs. Batman could take on the mob(Maroni and Faclone), Superman could fight Parasite or Metallo (or even just Intergang), and Wonder Woman should have a more personal World War II–era story with a costume-drama feel.
>>
>>214873001
He did suicide squad and creature commandos which flopped. Not sure how well peacemaker season 1 viewed but season 2 is a flop, Superman is up in the air with how well it did
>>
>>214873118
>creature commandos
Is it bad?
>>
Why is the bulk of this DC push fucking TV shows nobody gives a shit about?
>>
>>214872723
He doesn’t have time to do another season of Peacemaker. He had to film Superman and Peacamker at the same time and said it was hell. He starts filming Man of Tomorrow next year. How many show runners are also head of a studio and directing movies? He’s not going to let anyone else takeover since Peacemaker is his baby
>>
>>214872723
Was The Penguin a failure since no announcement for season 2? Idiot jeet logic

>>214873249
Reeves sucks as much as Snyder and Gunn. DC is cursed. Most of DC media is made by idiots
>>
>>214873145
Not outright bad, but not good either.
>>
>>214873110
Personally i would have focused on the Batman Franchise, give Reeves another batman and grow the Arkam games, and built from there, but they ruined that too.

Is pointless now, I don't even think a merger can save the IP because there is nobody left in Hollywood who can tell a fucking story.

batman and superman are the only good DC characters they have no choice
>>
>Supergirl
Women led superhero movies are DOA by default unless it's wonder woman,
I wouldn't be surprised if it fails to reach 400m.
Superman also clearly has a hard cap of 500-600m that can't be surpassed no matter how good or bad the movie is,
and also the era of pushing a turd like suicide squad and making 800m+ are over. Even "good" superhero movies like thunderbolts and f4 are only crawling to 400m

What i'm trying to say is that if they're really staking the future of the dcu on that movie then it's over, might as well not bother
>>
>>214873001
He's done two movies and two TV shows. None of which did very well

>>214873307
Why give Reeves another batman? reeves is average director and he openly hates comics
>>
>>214873095
>if you don't suck Gunn's cock you must worship this guy I hate
Maybe people just don't like his shitty movies and tv shows
>>
They should fuck off white the shared universes and just give us good stand alone films. Nobody wants to see Superman do Fortnite emotes with Batman. They want good stories.
>>
>>214873249
Yes but the Penguin got made DESPITE James Gunn, not because of him.

Thats why he has to contain all this side projects as "Elseworlds"
like he is so afraid somebody may mistake his DC universe self-wank.
>>
>>214873454
His guardians of the galaxy are all great popcorn flicks bro
>>
>>214873384
They could make smaller-budget movies about B-list characters and film them in Europe to keep costs down. There’s no hard rule that only Batman and Superman movies can make money.

it's just that no one ever hired a good writers) to write a good B-lister movie

isn't intentionally lowering audience expectations like that going backwards from a business perspective isn't that basically admitting defeat if you retreat to 50 mill budget basically direct to streaming B-flicks like superhero movies used to be? after the success of marvel I don't see anyone looking to go that direction even if the well is dry
>>
>>214873426
Correct. Both Superman and Peacemaker cost a lot and brought in little return, with poor reception overall. Superman sits at 7.2 on IMDb and 72 on Metacritic, while Peacemaker has 8.3 on IMDb and 76 on Metacritic, but from what I found online, its costs were huge, with far lower returns compared to shows like The Wire or The Sopranos, which both had much smaller budgets.

>>
>>214873547
they still have superman and gunn though that's enough to make one last try
>>
>>214873517
On the other hand, making a low-budget movie would be an upgrade from the Arrowverse. Superman & Lois also had a lower budget than the Superman movie and received much better reception.

Batman is a character that you could make multiple types of stories with.
Lets face it most of the directors who have made Batman haven't read single comic book in their lives.
Burton, Schumacher, Nolan.

But I think the main problem with DC isn't the characters but the WB execs. Nobody wants to deal with their shit.

>>
>>214873976
You’re not wrong; however, Nolan already did a 'realistic' Batman. So what’s the point of this again with Reeves?

And Burton, Nolan, and Reeves always focus on Year One stories. When will someone finally adapt the later stories?!

He is producer, the script has been around since forever, The Substance is based on that script.

Like that for me was the first problem, why couldn't they have everybody just make their own thing with the characters they want? and when they work they work.

Because only big event team ups make a billion Post Covid. The Batman 2 isn’t going to make a billion nor is it building up to anything that will. They dumping it out in dead ass October just like did for the first movie in dead March so it won’t have competition. With Wonder Woman movie being fast tracked can bet they are going to want a Trinity movie and Reeves Batman will be put on the back burner possibly indefinitely

Yup, why they are fast tracking a follow up and putting it out in the heavily competitive July. Because that’s what you do with movies that underperform
>>
>>214874640
Dude, Superman cost around $300 million but earned less than Man of Steel or Iron Man 1. It underperformed, and its ratings on IMDb and Metacritic are very low - $300 million for a 7.2/10.
>>
>>214874410
Reeves fucked up bad taking so long for the sequel. Movie did over 750 million after the damage batman v superman and justice league did, then drags his ass for almost 3 years before finishing a script. If i were wb i'd be pissed.

Reeves Batman came out in dead ass March with no competition. Imagine if MCU put Thor Love and Thunder out two

Nobody in the industry seems to know how to handle the C-tier super heroes anyways. It´s like they are unable to tell good ideas and teams from bad ones. Were these people never young?

>>214874944
Atleast they’re not scared to put out against competition. Same can’t be said for The Batman. Trade off is not a chance in hell The Batman 2 will come close to a billion in dead October
>>
>>214874957
Ok, but why is WB releasing a Superman sequel when there will be so much competition, especially since Superman had a weak reception and a low profit margin? Or is WB lying, and did Superman actually cross a billion? Crossing a $600 million on a $300 million budget isn’t much.
>>
>>214874980
Market has changed. Nobody going to go watch Ant Man in theaters post Covid. And with so much shit on streaming it all gets drowned out. Why they’re all big IP
mining. You think anyone be watching Wednesday without Addams Family IP attached to it? You think The Penguin would’ve gotten 3 million viewers without Penguin name and it being attached to Batman?
>>
>>214875007
It did well domestically, better than any Superman movie. Domestics is where studios get the highest profit margins. MOS made 63 million in China yet studios only get 25% of the profits which would’ve only been 15 million.

Not really, it stands to reason to start with big names and only go into secondary teams as spin offs but even then you need to choose the right teams.

Like you can probably get away with teen titans, young justice or suicide squad on the B tier but anything lesser known like doom patrol or runaways is a risk and anything even more obscure is just not going to fly.

As for Marvel, they are honestly wasting their time with anything that´s not x-men related at this point.
>>
>>214875160
Everything you posted you pulled out of your ass. Gunn was only going to reboot Superman. Blame The Flash bombing for a complete reboot! Had The Flash done well they’d kept the new Flash timeline. Add on Batgirl being so awful Zaslov shelved it! Keaton’s Batman in the new Flash timeline was suppose to train Batgirl and she’d take over as Batman. With that movie cancelled, that was out the window and why they did the reshoot with Clooney at the end.
>>
>>214875340
>Gunn was only going to reboot Superman. Blame The Flash bombing for a complete reboot!
This is actual fantasy, what the fuck? Gunn literally announced almost immediately that the entire thing was going to be scrapped - hence all the memes of people questioning why they should bother watching Aquaman 2 or The Flash if "it didn't matter"? (Apparently watching a film for the entertainment of the film itself isn't a thing anymore)
>>
>>214875313
Gunn already doing that. He’s only giving each character one movie. Man of Tomorrow will feature Supergirl, Lobo and The Gang. Supergirl will definitely move into the Legion of Superheroes like the comic and with WW movie in works
a Trinity movie is going to happen.

Even if Superman earned 100 percent domestically, $600 million for a $300 million budget is not much. And Man of Steel did not earn only overseas - the difference is only in proportion.
>>
>>214875380
Source where Gunn said he was rebooting the entire DCU? Why did he have JL in season 1 Peacemaker? WW 3 not getting made had nothing to do with Gunn. It was cancelled because Jenkins left after WB rejected her ideas for part 3 because they did not want another WW84. Gal being replaced most definitely has to do with her being guaranteed over 12 million for a third movie

Five minutes googling-

>With a production budget estimated at around $225 million, and a marketing push adding roughly another $200 million, the total cost of the James Gunn Superman project neared $425 million. It became one of the most expensive films in the 2025 superhero movie lineup, putting major pressure on the movie to perform both critically and financially.

F4 launch was confirmed before Supermans was, Gunn's ego got in the way and he actually hurt F4. No one wants to see 2 capeshits back to back, so by rushing his release he fucked over Marvel.

Too bad it was a complete flop.

>>214875407

That doesn´t seem like enough. Specially because nobody ever gave a fuck about legion. You need to establish the justice league of this universe first.

DC always fucks up because they are always in a rush to catch up. Marvel on the other hand fucks up because they grow over confident and think they can just do whatever.

So he lost millions out of spite? Maybe he did hurt F4, but at what price?

your ass? Superman had July date confirmed long before F4. F4 was suppose to come out last November but production delays postponed it. It was then suppose to come out on Valentine’s Day but they decided to put Captain Negro Man out then and put F4 out two weeks after Superman

thats a lie, he explicitly didnt want reeves batman and he wanted his own cereal box retarded batman like supes- hes also the reason cavil didnt come back

I hope his Batman doesn't end up being some over the top schizophrenic guy that everyone else just laughs at and entertains because they treat him like a make a wish kid. When I think about how a Gun Batman would be like that's all I can picture with the tone of his movies.

Oh, so Gunn is one of these retards that neither get nor like comics. Fucking awesome.

You literally just confirmed what I already said! He was only rebooting Superman. The Flash was going to do a soft reboot where Gunn’s Superman would be in the new timeline. Had Batgirl not been total ass, Keaton’s Batman would’ve been in the the new timeline training Batgirl. WW 3 being canceled was because of Jenkins leaving and Gal costing too much. Why pay a shit actress like Gal over 12 million when can just get unknown and pay her less then a million. Why Margo Robbie out as Harley.

Gunn wasn't involved in Batgirl. He was explicitly asked about Keaton's involvement and said a generic "well there's multiworld shit". He said from the offset that he was recasting Batman too.

This makes no sense.

>Man of Steel had a domestic box office gross of $291,045,518 as of its release in 2013. This domestic gross represented 43.4% of the film's total worldwide gross of $670,145,518.

>ames Gunn's Superman film crossed the $300 million domestic box office milestone in late July 2025, becoming the first solo Superman film to do so and surpassing the domestic lifetime gross of Man of Steel ($291 million). By early August, it had reached over $320 million domestically, surpassing Jurassic World Rebirth at the time and becoming the third-highest-grossing film of 2025 in the U.S.


So, James Gunn’s Superman earned about $28.95 million more domestically than Man of Steel.

Jenkins was not blocked off. Original reports she is now denying is she got butthurt because WB was not going
let her have full control after 84. Jenkins is a massive pain in the ass and walked off Star Wars for similar shit. Regardless, DC was a fucking mess and was stupid to even try to salvage Snyderverse. Gunn had nothing to do with WW84, Aquaman 2 and Shazam 2 being ass. Not Ezra shit that caused The Flash to bomb. And it was smart move not pay Gal over 12 million to continue as WW considering now everyone hates her and it would’ve been another Ezra situation

Again, nigger, shills claim that Superman earned more than Man of Steel because it performed better domestically, but it only made about $30 million more in the U.S. while earning less overall. On top of that, Man of Steel earned a huge amount from product placement, which, while soulless, covered roughly $100 million of the budget.

>>214877398
Imagine if Gunn had made Spider-Man 1. He would have skipped the entire origin; the build-up, the bite, Peter discovering his powers, the responsibility arc, all of it.

Instead, Punisher, Hulk, and Hawkeye would already be popping up fighting Rhino

DC's entire setup is doomed if they're trying to ape Marvel's. It's honestly a hallmark of how reality worked before clownworld. If your competitor is THE McDonald's or THE Mouse, you fill a niche they can't or aren't. No one wants Robert Downey Junior but it's Lex Luthor.

I don't know what the DCCU could have done to hit 200-500 million a movie, which is what they should have aimed for, but I DO know their cartoons line up are /comfy/. They have good young adult cartoons. Marvel has NO interesting cartoon shows or movies for the whole family except for the Black Spiderman things. So, it seems like DC's niche is that it's /comfy/.

The other one to imply that Gunn ruined his movie was the director of the Shazam movies.
Seems to me that the underlying cause was James Gunn messing with all the movies in production thinking he knows better.

>says that the DCU will have different genres and age ratings for everyone to enjoy
>literally the sequel to the kid friendly Superman is gay orgy Peacemaker S2 and you need to watch that to follow into Superman 2

The idea was fine but Gunn is a retard. You cant follow up a story if parts of it are contained in unnecessarily edgy and crude gen x slop. Peacemaker should be completely separated from the main plot.

Also he didnt read the memo and everything is "le chuds white people" when people, specially from other countries than america are getting fucking tired of American sensibilities.

>creature commands vs the evil white chuds
>peace maker vs the evil white chuds
>superjew, guy and lex are all "white" dumb retards meanwhile the negro terrific is the only one competent and heroic

He is not completely bad, he just cant let go his 1990 politics.
>>
>>214877881
Gunn admitted he gave notes and made changes in the last DCEU batch of movies. But now he pretends he didnt.
You can see exactly which parts he added in Flash, aquaman and such if you can recognize his kind of comedy.

It's not in itself. It's inconsistent/hypocritical though since he just greenlit his own sequel despite it not having a completed script, and it was clearly just an excuse to explain why The Batman 2 wasn't in preproduction
