I think people who don’t closely follow pop culture could give a shit. Back in 2005, when WB was rebooting Batman, this was a thing. Certain characters could only be used once a time (why R’az al Ghul and Scarecrow don’t appear in The Batman cartoon). But now? Now there’s a Flash on TV and on film at the same time. No…

Blue Beetle was supposed to go straight to HBO Max, so getting some box office change might make it more of a financial success than WB had foreseen.

No it’s not. If they had been fucking it up, all the more reason to burn it to the ground. They’re cleaning the slate, except some of the stuff Gunn shepherded (mostly Peacemaker). Even before Gunn came aboard they rebooted Batman.

Yeah, I guess I’m defining “young” in regards to this dumb article. Like, a “young” Superman would be Smallville or shortly after, trying to learn how to fly and curl his hair. In The Batman, sure he’s green but he’s still been Batman for a spell. He’s not, like, still learning how to grapple hook and throw batarangs…

Sorry you’re having such a hard time with this.

He’s kind of fun in The Tudors, and moreso in Man From UNCLE, which is why it’s kind of a shame his Superman/Clark is such a chunk of coal. Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman has more personality as soccer dad supes.

That’s splitting hairs, Pattinson’s Batman is still already established and known. The Batman is not an origin story, he’s already been Batman for 2 years - He’s younger, but far removed from his first night on the town.

It’s not odd. Gunn decided to make a Superman movie with a new actor, Cavill had been out of the role for years (except for Rock trying to force Cavill back into a Black Adam sequel that was never going to happen).

What about a super Oldboy movie?

Gunn explained(?) that he “was never making a ‘young Superman’ movie, just a Superman movie,” which doesn’t answer the fan’s original question

That’s what is so amazingly stupid about this whole thing - Disney is the least “woke” media company. The pile of organic material that responds to “Ronda Santis” tried to make an example out of The Mouse only after Disney was shamed into saying, well anything. Now it’s costing the state of FL an insane amount of…

I was surprised at, more than a century later, how frightened I was by a part of this book and CancerAIDS.

This. Everything you wrote. Snyder’s Objectivism so obviously blinds him from writing characters that act like actual humans. He constantly pushes his “cool bro” director’s cuts while fanning the vitriol of his toxic fans. I’m sure he’s a nice guy, but he’s also a douche (it can be TWO things). 

Even 10 year-old me thought the original Ninja Turtles craze of the late 80s was a flash in the pan. I never imagined TMNT had the legs to get 127 different reboots over the next 30+ years.

I already agreed that Shazam! 2 would’ve benefitted from featuring Black Adam so I’m not sure why you brought that up again

Just because Black Adam has evolved from outright Captain Marvel villain to antihero antagonist over the past 20 years doesn’t mean he is anymore well-known beyond comic book readers. His few appearances in film and TV, almost all over the same previous 20 years, feature him as a villain to Captain Marvel and they…

Except Black Adam is, at best, a C-list villain with a history tied to the same wizard as Captain Marvel (which is also established in the film). Might as well give Bizarro his own movie. Shazam 2 likely would have benefited from The Rock’s presence, whose own Black Adam movie could have benefited from having already e…

I eventually just turned my brain off during anything involving the Elves. Less talking more monsters, please.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Shazam 2, it’s is better than its reputation. I think it became a bit of a punching bag after a few DC/WB misfires in Black Adam and WW84 (and hearing about The Flash and Zack Snyder for years). Everyone except The Rock knows Black Adam shouldn’t have had his own movie, he should…

I’m not a huge Witcher fan, but enjoyed the first season. I was pretty blown away by how cheap and rough the first half of season 3 looked, and the mid-season finale thought itself so clever but was so poorly executed. Kind of an unceremonious end to one of Netflix’s crown jewels, at a time when they don’t have many…
