Guy who looks like Superman cast to play Superman shocker.

I love how they made jokes about Clark not seeming to age when all the support characters he was supposedly at school with are in their 40's!

This is a very good point!

38, and same. Batman Forever was the first I saw at the cinema, and I had caught at least the first Keaton one on TV by that point, but the Nolan Trilogy were the first time I felt properly invested in them as films. I do feel like it would have had greater impact in The Flash if they’d managed to get Bale back, but…

Yeah, I was wondering about Aquaman recently too, but someone pointed out that it secured a Chinese release, which would definitely have helped it reach those numbers.

I don’t know if that’s part of what would need a rethink if Majors comes out of his court hearing badly to be honest. I’m sure they’d just recast (I’m hoping for John David Washington, personally). So whilst that would effect any of the films featuring Kang going forwards, I’m not sure that would include FF.

People have been talking about superhero fatigue for years now, and I just don’t really think it’s a thing. Across the Spider-Verse has passed half a billion and is still going strong, Guardians Vol. 3 took over $800 million, No Way Home took over $2 billion just a year and a half ago. I really don’t see much in the…

Meanwhile, at Disney - “The Fantastic Four cast? Oh, yeah, we should probably get on that at some point”.

Oh definitely. A straightforward story about Barry dealing with the loss of his Mum and trying to clear his Dad’s name would have mostly likely been the more sensible direction to go. But it seems like WB wanted to prepare the ground for a full-on shakeup moving forwards, if rumours about the various versions the…

Yeah, I think the terrible VFX won’t have helped at all. They didn’t look good in the trailers (which I actually thought were surprisingly good, otherwise) and a lot of what’s there in the film is worse.

I was wondering what might have caused such a low box office too. I really would be surprised if general audiences are even that aware of Miller’s exploits, so it does just seem like WB did so much damage to the DC brand by making so many mediocre-to-terrible films that people aren’t willing to give things a go any…

Yeah, I’ve only watched the first two so far, but I’m genuinely a bit surprised by how they’ve both managed to get away with so ruthlessly satirising the very service that’s hosting them!

Nah, that’s when we get the Venom remake. Which at the rate they’re running out of ideas, may or may not come out before Venom 3...

I was not aware of that! Being one of the 30-odd foreign films allowed to release in China per year would definitely be a boost for anything, but if that’s a setting that tends to be popular over there then it begins to make sense.

By the time you reached the end of that sentence, DC had rebooted everything again.

Every time I’m reminded of it it blows my mind that Aquaman made over a billion. How?

Yeah, I saw his Robin Hood. Accents he can “do” is pushing it a bit.

People have been saying that, and there is a very slight resemblance, but apparently it was just designed as a ‘generic’ Jay, which does make sense seeing as Sears was never actually the real Jay. They could at least have gone with John Wesley Ship.

Spoilers obviously, for anyone who skipped the Spoiler Warning and came to the comments. For whatever reason...

Yeah, when people say they’ve been disappointed with MCU Peter not being who they like from the comics I’ve always felt it’s a bit of a case of ‘give it time’. It always seemed clear from the off that Marvel were thinking of Spidey as one of the main pillars of the MCU, especially for when RDJ decided to call it quits…
