Casey Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 That was always the plan for Gunn with Marvel, at least after he was fired. The original plan was for him to take charge of the cosmic side of the MCU, but then the tweets came back to haunt him and he was fired and that changed everything. Even if he wasn’t chosen to head up DC Studios, Guardians 3 was probably always his last MCU project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 What's ironic is about all the Snyder fans trashing is that James Gunn wrote Snyder's first movie. Best of luck to James Gunn, but he's inheriting this role at a very weird time for Warner Bros./DC Not to mention, his role has had like a ton of turnover over the course of the last 10 years.

Craig H Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) He still has to report to who is, by all accounts, a complete and total idiot. He may be co-CEO of DC Studios, but Zaslav could still muck up the works. Edited October 26, 2022 by Craig H 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I'm in the minority, but was not a fan of most of Suicide Squad and Peacemaker. Don't really dig the mixture of hyperviolence and weird humor in those two. I mean, better than Snyder of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I like Gunn, but everything he's done has had a very specific tone, and I'm not sure if that tone will work for a whole universe instead of the sort of palate cleanser it is now. You can't actually build the whole plane out of the black box, y'know? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 It doesn't mean that Gunn is going to make every movie or set the tone for every movie. He's co head of the studio, not the writer and director for all of this stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I thought The Suicide Squad was a notorious flop that didn't make it's budget back? It was the bad Suicide Squad film that was a hit, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 The 2021 underperformed, partly blamed on the theater/streaming strategy. It streamed a week after debuting in theaters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ligerbusa Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) James Gunn joined Mastadon and posted a pic of Lobo. Around the same time, Jason Momoa was saying it was the happiest day of his life and a dream had come true. He collects Lobo comics and thought that was the role he was being called for when he got Aquaman. Edit: Whatever Momoa's super happy about, he's confirmed it's not DC related.

It was ok when Nolan was doing it but Snyder is not a competent enough film maker to understand human emotions in a way that you can set a movie in a very dark tone and bleak setting BUT and this is the part Snyder has 0 insight on and that is a light at the end of that dark tunnel.

Zimbra Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 All I want is a series that is basically "Quincy, But With Superheroes" starring Doctor Mid-Nite and Mr Terrific and I don't think that's too much to ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Ordered tickets to see Batman Returns (1992) in a fortnight at the cinema. I hoped the film would get a re-release for it's 30th Anniversary like Batman (1989). When Batman was shown for the 30th Anniversary, I had the choice of seeing that or with Batman Returns, I should have picked the double bill. I've always preferred Batman to Batman Returns. The only Batman films I haven't seen at the cinema are Batman (1966) and Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993). I'd love to see the latter there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to re-watch it. I've had it come up on a couple movie podcasts I listen to, and it sounds even more bonkers than I remember it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think I'd ever get to see Batman and Batman Returns on the big screen through re-release. I was 5 or 6 when I saw Batman on BBC as part of the Christmas schedules and 7 or 8 for Batman Returns. Thank you to my parents for letting me. I'm sure both were 15 on release but are now 12A.

The Natural Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Moving. Today is Kevin Conroy's 67th Birthday. Happy birthday to the legend. Conroy and Batman: The Animated Series are the biggest parts of my Batman fandom. Love that man and Batman: The Animated Series xxx. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
