Bro still ain't really doing it for me as Clark/Supes just yet but I'll still reserve judgment to fully make up my mind when the total project hits



Cuz they ain't building no equity aside from a possible new Supes trilogy or sum shyt.

Aint nobody finna run & watch a Krypto standalone movie cuz Supes might've been dope

:manny:
They got Guy Gardner in this and he’s going to be in the Green Lantern series.

Supergirl is coming next year

There’s equity being built is just not on interconnectivity. It’s on solid stories and consistency so people will check out the brand after so many false starts.

It's fairly simple to me. There is the mainline DCU universe (Superman, Supergirl, etc.) and then non-DCU projects (which is what The Batman is).

Just like how not all Marvel projects are connected to the MCU. Not all DC projects will be connected to the DCU.

I think he's been pretty clear that there's the main DCU and then the Elseworlds projects that are outside of that.

They got Guy Gardner in this and he’s going to be in the Green Lantern series.

I guess time will tell if they can pull it off

You can’t have Superman intervene in wars unless you’re doing a Homelander/Omni Man Stoyline where the Superman is the villain of the story and taking over :comeon:


Because why would he stop at one war when NOBODY can stop him?:comeon:
You start to go in that direction you can easily say why would he let ANY injustice happen? Some things you have to let go of when dealing with superheroes.

Tony should have called the Avengers in IM3. Cap should have called the Avengers in Winter Soldier. Well akshully ad infinitum. And that’s not to say that you can’t or shouldn’t aim for a certain amount of “realism” with the genre, but some things can’t be due to the inherent nature of the genre.

Because Superman represents the world he cares for everyone regardless of city, country, or continent. It's why he's Superman the hope for a a better tomorrow :gucci:

You can’t compare Tony Stark to Superman.

Superman is the most powerful person on the planet in story. There is NOTHING that can stop him.

Superman is meant to be a non political character. That’s why the stories are kept to Superman fighting aliens, stopping disasters or taking down Supervillains who attack Metropolis.

The moment you have the character intervene in a “war” because he wanted to “save people” which is actually a valid/heroic reason then the character has to go down the rabbit hole of stopping ALL WARS to “save people” which logically leads to a Superman takeover storyline.

This is why the writers DON’T write Superman to do this in the first place.

Superman is a hero - he hears people are getting/going to be killed in war and intervenes because he has the power - Superman stops the war and saves people -

But now Superman decides he won’t intervene in any more wars despite his initial reasoning being that people are getting/going to be killed? Now Superman looks unheroic and not like a hero at all.

Again you can easily go down the road of why doesn’t he intervene to stop racist cops? Crooked politicians who start unjust wars? All of MS13? Mexican Cartels who kill thousands of innocent people? Why should war be the only thing he doesn’t intervene in?

That’s why I say some things you have to let go when dealing with this genre. Unless it’s a property going more for “realism” like Watchmen or something.

And the point of bringing up Cap and Tony was that you can well akshully their decision to not involve the Avengers in major threats they certainly could use their help on. Same goes for any solo hero that doesn’t.

Some things you have to let go.

Now that I’ve heard the characters talk in this trailer.. I really dont like the casting that much. Superman, Lex and Lois seem like misses to me. Maybe supes himself will grow on me since hell probably be our superman for the next 10 years but definitely not liking the others.

The only nail on the head cast thus far as been Guy Gardner/Green Lantern.

That said, I think itll still be a good movie

Damn, you're in the small minority with this opinion.

Lois (Rachel Brosnahan) is probably the most perfectly cast person in this movie. David as Superman comes second.

Thats fine that no one agrees.

I just feel like the suits wearing him, not the other way around. He doesnt feel “larger than life”

As far as lois goes, she just seems super regular. Time will tell if Ill still feel the same on her when I watch it
