James Gunn posted a picture of David Corenswet as Superman on Instagram from the upcoming Superman: Legacy and I wish he had chose a photo that looked more heroic because while I understand why Henry Cavill was recast, I think he more looked the part. And is it just me, but why does the tunic […]
When I learned that DC Studios – formerly DC Films – was going to release a Blue Beetle movie (not based on the Ted Kord version of the character, the only one I’m familiar with) I assumed that the movie was DOA. And I still do, except for a bit of uncertainty I like to […]
What ruined The Flash (2023) was by my reckoning three things, one of which I want to discuss. The first was Ezra Miller’s fairly deviant public behavior. The second was at least two directors shaping the movie prior to Andy Muschietti coming on to the project, which is related to the third, namely constantly sinking […]
I was recently on Quora and was a part of a discussion about The Flash, which someone thought was ‘awesome.’ The problem was the I’ve also seen the movie and while it had its moments, by no means deserved such praise. And I get it. Everyone has their own opinion but objectively speaking? Not so […]
Let’s be honest. Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight (2008), doesn’t hold up nearly as well as it perhaps should. Sure, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Christian Bale and Heath Ledger did well with the material but I’d argue that they’d also do well if they were reading from the telephone book. My problem with the movie […]
No…? Though to prove it is people typically bring up movies like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) not doing as well as the first movie – and financially speaking that’s true, except when you take into account that not only had the lead, Chadwick Boseman, died in 2020 and the sequel not only didn’t replace […]
As most people who care about such things are probably aware, when Warner Bros was rechristened Warner Bros Discovery, the new owners made cutting costs a priority. One way doing so is cancelling various projects, such as Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah’s Batgirl, which saved the studio $90 million. Though recently James Gunn, the […]
Recently James Gunn buried the hatchet with Henry Cavill about his iteration of Superman not making it into the revamped DCU, instead deciding to go with a younger version of the character. He did the same with Dwayne Johnson, who played Black Adam, though when he did so he was very likely lying and possibly […]
According to Comicbookmovie.com, James Gunn and Peter Safran’s goal is to wipe the slate clean as far as prior interpretations of DC characters in the live action space goes. And I believe that’s a likely, and more importantly, necessary step to take (and have argued it should have been taken place long before now) but […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, James Gunn is writing a Superman treatment sans Henry Cavill, which sounds to me like a bit of an unforced error. Supposedly the story will revolve around a younger Superman who’s already a reporter for The Daily Planet. I don’t think it’s a great move because Cavill has been treated […]
