Man of Steel 2 with Henry Cavill officially in development.... Really hoping they can turn it around. Joss Whedon's Justice League proved to me that I could enjoy Cavill as Superman, so I really hope we can get a freaking good Superman movie for once.
Also announced is that Matt Reeves is expanding the world of The Batman with not only a sequel, and the Penguin HBO Max show...... but also working on "Rogues Gallery" movies for Scarecrow, Clayface, Professor Pyg, and others... The further away we get from it the more I realize how utterly forgettable The Batman was, so kinda sucks that they are going "all-in" with Reeves and his universe.... hopefully it can turn around too. |
Id love to see Cavil out from under Synder. He's phenomenal and he's drug these bad scripts or poor visions to as close to watchable as they could possibly be
|
The Rock helping turn DCEU around was not expected.
|
He knows an opportunity when he sees one and the balls and the drive to try and make it work

All I'll say on Batgirl is if that test screening was a banger they'd totally launch the movie.
|
Exactly if they thought there were profits to be had we'd be seeing the film.

Interesting. I hope not everything gets "James Gunn"ized.....
|
CW cancels Stargirl, season 3 will be the last.
Superman & Lois the sole survivor for now..... Plus that upcoming terrible looking Gotham Knights show that they could probably just totally "Batgirl" and not even get any backlash about |
CWverse had a good run
|
I'd be more sad about cw if Gunn wasn't in charge of things now.
|
Sounds like Superman & Lois might not last another season
|
CWverse had a great run.
Even though it’s still technically going The Flash has probably been dead for 2 seasons. I’m just watching this last season and some of the episodes are tough to sit through. |
Read the "Challenge of the Super Sons" comic..... damn.... still can't believe that anyone would have thought it was a good idea to break up that combo....
I do hear "good things" about Jon Kent Superman, but he shouldn't be. Dunno what's been going on with Damian the past few years, but they took away his colours and gave him a "drab" costume is all I know..... So was good to see them together again.... I guess they just came out with a Super Sons animated movie... might have to check that one out.... seems even "crazier" that they are still "pushing" the Super Sons in other media even though they "ruined it" in the comics.... |
Been catching up on old comics, kind of "picking up where I left off"..... The Terrifics was a great fun little series.... too bad it got canceled...
|
So it wasn't named well.
|
Was named after Mr. Terrific, who was the leader..... basically a Fantastic Four rip-off with lots of camp and science shenanigans. They would yell their catchphrase "Go, Terrifics, Go!" at least once an issue
|
Sounds shit.
|
Well it wasn't. Please read my posts. I just said it was fun.
|
Superman getting his secret identity back soon. So part of Bendis' shenanigans being undone already. Unfortunately I don't see Jon Kent de-aging anytime soon.
Actually started going back and re-reading some of Bendis Superman.... and... like, it's not the WORST Superman I've ever read, it just so happened to come after a really excellent run that he chose to throw out the window. Time and distance has helped heal that wound a bit, so I'm not reading it "angrily" any more.... |
@lock jaw
Josh Williamson taking over Supes in February with an all-new Superman #1 I like Williamson but donut know what I think of Dark Crisis yet...like the idea of it but sometimes the stakes don't feel high enough to be a crisis...art is insanely good though and I like that Nightwing and Jon Kent are the leads |
1 more issue to go of dark crisis, hulked up deathstroke stepping up to be the big bad of the final issue...

Mark Waid/Dan Mora, that currently do the very well received 'World's Finest' will be doing a Shazam series for DC in early-mid 2023.
Dan Mora probably the best artist in all of DC right now (imo) |
Just read the "Dial H for Hero" series from a couple years back (from the "Wonder Comics" imprint) and it was pretty great. Pretty much would be the most "unknown" property ever, but I'd love to see it get adapted to a film or series... seems like it would be right up James Gunn's alley.

The second one was kinda 'naff, so could actually be a good thing to get more of a "shared unifying vision" on it of what/who Wonder Woman should be going forward. I'd still get Gal Gadot to be Diana of course... just no more of this "movie isn't set in the present" stuff. Do something to really establish what she means here and now for the world.
|
Sounds like James Gunn might be cleaning house overall
If true, will miss Cavill as Supes...but also understand the need to start with a clean slate. |
Chip Zdarsky's first Batman story arc 'Failsafe' has now ended...I liked his bat miniseries 'The Knight' but this was just 'eh' for me

Reports also say that it will not be set in Smallville, and that he will already be in Metropolis.....
I just want a good Superman movie, so please give it to me. Early days could be good, getting used to the big city, finding his place and role as both Clark and Superman.... I know Lex Luthor is maybe "overplayed" but I think a role similar to Superman: Birthright could be good, where he is sowing misinformation in order to create distrust against Superman before Superman wins over the people by being Superman. |
We definitely need something fresh, like Superman learning to use his powers and using self control against bullies in his civilian life.
|
Perhaps Cavill will now return to The Witcher and they will fire the naff showrunners, and finally do the IP characters/stories justice.

I had a feeling it would be a clean slate.
But man was Henry shafted. And they can't just give him an out of context movie like The Batman because it would absolutely suck the air out of the room and hurt the new canon Supes. Just sucks. |
Really really shafted if he left Witcher to be Supes
|
I can't begin to elaborate on the fucks I don't give about another young superman story.
They had an oppurtunity with cavill to take the character into stories we really haven't seen on screen. This is fucking bullshit. I'm not even a dc fan. I'm a marvel guy and even im offended by this decision. |

I'm ok with moving on in a different direction, that's the nature of storytelling with characters who exist beyond generations.
The comics do it all the time. |
If you like Bats, Supes, Flash, Green Lantern, etc
At the end of the day all that matters is a good story involving a character you like. So many comic book characters are more multi-faceted than one story and one film series. |
This reaction happens time and time again to the point it's comical...
"I can't believe __________ was cast as Batman, this will be awful" |
Getting a new actor wouldn't be so bad if they were telling new stories with him. Part of the reason tom holland's spider-man has been so well praised is that they skipped the uncle ben shit and immediately put him in fresh new stories and situations right out of the gate.

You're missing the point. Cavill's Superman was established well enough where you could take the character new places and tell new stories.
Another round of clark learning his powers and dealing with civilian life is not that. |
You can't raise the stakes for the character when he's constantly coming to the big city and running across Lois for the first time
|
Just gimme a good story, man. I don't care if it is another "finding his place" story if it is actually done right.
I'm just excited at another Superman movie, and will cling to hope for it. Cavill did prove himself to me in Joss Whedon's Justice League, but I'm not "mad" about starting fresh with a new actor and "washing any negative associations" away. |
From what I am hearing sounds like they are going to "The Batman" it.... where he is young but already knows all the principal characters and is established in his role... but still has room to learn new things and meet villains for the first time
|
Gotta meet Lois again. Gotta face Lex for the first time. Gotta meet Batman (and fight him), meet Diana. Form JL again. Etc.
We're talking about a decade of stuff at least before we even get post credits teases of New Gods. By then MCU will be in its 3rd saga where Nova makes a billion dollars. |
I always wonder what George Miller's Justice League film would have been like, with OMAC/Brother Eye/Maxwell Lord as the big bads
In hindsight, Armie Hammer being cast as Bats and it not happening did save us from cannibal bat jokes down the line. Adam Brody from the OC probably would have been fine as Barry Allen. |

I mean, how do you tell new and interesting stories with characters that have existed for decades? It can't be easy.
That's why I've gravitated towards elseworlds and bkack label stuff. Freeing the story from the confines of the main dcu gives creators more freedom in exploring new ideas, and also keeps things self contained to a small, beginning and end story without having to worry about tying it into future projects. That's also why I'm more into indie comics now as well. |
Reading Bendis' Checkmate series, a follow up on his terrible Event Leviathan....
What is even going on here... Issue #3 has a giant "WHO IS DAEMON ROSE"? on the front cover. The name Daemon Rose is not even mentioned in the entire book. Issue #5 has a shadowy figure on the cover with the caption "THE DAEMON ROSE REVEALED!" Nowhere in the issue, or any of the issues in between, is the name Daemon Rose referred to. |
DC has decided to undo Superman revealing his idenity to the world.
In Action Comics 1050 Lex Luther forces Manchester Black to psychically erase it from *most* of the world's memory. |

Just read the "Superman Smashes the Klan" graphic novel..... was very excellent....
|
HBO Max cancels Doom Patrol and Titans....
Haven't started season 4 of Doom Patrol yet but I love the show so sad to see it go.... Titans I never watched past season 1, which was like watching some sort of odd trainwreck that you felt compelled to continue looking at.... |
The whole premise of Titans seemed dumb.
"It's Teen Titans, but they can say bad words and do real violence". |
I tried watching Titans but couldn't make it past 3 episodes. Just a terrible, terrible adaptation.

More like dork crisis, right guys?!

I personally do not like Grant Morrison's Batman run outside of the brief time Dick Grayson took over as Bats so this one is gonna be rough for the slikster
|
Also did not enjoy Tom King's Supergirl
|
Will keep an open mind though...
|
Never been a huge fan of The Authority but I guess I never read their "heyday" when they weren't even under the DC umbrella yet
|
Oh good they're finally going back to the Green Lantern well. Let's see if this one sucks as much as the Ryan Reynolds one did.
|
I hope if Booster Gold is successful and gets more seasons that he eventually goes to an alternate Earth and interacts with another Booster Gold, who would be the one introduced in the last episodes of Legends of Tomorrow, and they do a little bit of wrap up on the dangling story. Wishful thinking, and it would probably be like a decade old by then anyways.
|
Wish Lanterns was about Simon Baz/Jessica Cruz.......
I know Hal Jordan and John Stewart are the "big names", but they are also the two most boring lanterns. Would have also preferred Kyle Rayner/Guy Gardner |
They’re doing a Booster Gold film aren’t they? I remember being excited because a couple of years ago I looked up loads of these characters and he was the one I thought deserved inclusion. I cannot remember why but I wager it was personality based, they all have the same powers…
|
Apparently it’s a series by James Gunn.
Are there any safer hands in the game right now? |
Flash showrunner says he originally wanted to do an episode or two to wrap up Legends of Tomorrow plotlines but with the shortened final season couldn't fit it in..... but he also says that the Legends will still make an appearance.

Just finished reading Tom King's Rorschach series.... didn't care for the end, but otherwise enjoyed the story/ride.
I will say that it 100% did not need to be a Rorschach series, being only tangentially tied in with a Rorschach and tangentially tied in with the Watchmen universe. Could have told the exact same story in its own universe with some very minor tweaks. Probably the most "egregious case" of shameless exploitation of the Watchmen brand. |
I did enjoy DC's recently relaunched Superman #1
It had the perfect tone and was fun. An easy starting point for anyone wanting to read a Supes comic. (conveniently linked to below) https://readcomicsonline.ru/comic/superman-2023/1 DC has announced more new #1s coming this summer: Green Arrow #1 - Ollie is trapped in another universe The Flash #1 - will now be a Cosmic Horror book (not sure that is a good fit for Wally West) Wonder Woman #1 - Amazons are banned in the U.S. following a mass murder, written by Tom King (so I assume it will be really depressing) Steelworks #1 - featuring STEEL and his daughter Cyborg #1 Brave & The Bold #1 Hawkgirl #1 Green Lantern #1 |
I’m 3 parts into Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and so far like it more then Joss Whedon’s version. Don’t get me wrong it’s ridiculous that it’s 4 hours long, but enjoyable. There is a lot of slow motion musical choices which are pretty funny, and probably a reason why it’s 4 hours.
One pro-Whedon cut is Steppenwolf’s voice. It way to digitized for my liking in the Snyder version. I’d much rather hear Ciaran Hind’s voice then what I’m hearing now. |
I finished Justice League last night. I really liked it, and it is superior over the Whedon version. Now I’m not going to be a soldier Zach Snyder army, but I would want more of these. I know I’m not getting anything else, but I would like it.
It’s not perfect by any means, and I think Snyder didn’t nail the ending. After the big battle they just moved really fast to end it, and we could have had 5 more minutes as crazy as that sounds. The Knightmare scenes are great even though they pop out of no where, and can be confusing. I could have used more Darkseid in the movie. I wasn’t that impressed with him. Movie wise I’m going Thanos way over Darkseid in the movies so far. |
|
Missed opportunity if Michael Rooker doesn't play Lex in some kind of capacity. One of those movies/series that are outside the main timeline.
|
Watched the series finale of The Flash.... the final four episode story-arc was pretty decent...
SPOILER: show And so the "Arrowverse" comes to a close with a whimper, but it was quite the ride for the years that we had it. End of an era... |
