DC Movies

Arguably it is a very important link to the film's narrative because it is supposed to sell the audience on the concept of the story and what it is trying to tell.

But we're just going to run in circles here and nobody will convince the others. Let's agree to disagree and move on.

I can pretty much guarantee that most joe blow movie goers will almost certainly not see that image and those that do will definitely not base their decision to go see the movie on it.

It depends on whether they will actually use it beyond this or not. Or if it becomes memetic enough or not, which so far doesn't seem to be the case, but that might be people just not caring about DC movies all that much period.

Again, most people don't decide to go to the movies based on niche internet memes.

Yeah, I'm not even sure this would be what a hypothetical Superman poster would look like.

I do like how bright red his cape and boots are in the poster. It makes the entire costume pop. Also, I hope they reference or have cameos for some of the lesser known Superman villains like the Puzzler I&II and the Archer. I like it when adaptions give mention to some of the more obscure parts of the mythos like the Linda Danvers and Cir-El super girls. It would be a nice way to contrast with the previous DCEU which felt very focused on just Superman and his start.

I get the idea of the image, show Superman in a more personal, informal way.

Thing is, I think the original photo had him taking off the suit after a days work, hence the sorch marks. It was supposed to be Supes off the job.

But someone decided to photoshop the fight happening outside completely charging the context and throwing everything off. The body language fits the original intent, not the new context.

I bet the original was very much going for the vibes of that Alex Ross painting of Supes partially dressed.

I like the picture but I can see why people are wary since it feel....tired, more like super is like "oh here it is, Brianiac show up....again" I will be honest, if it was post by anyone else it would be acuse of the same "you dont get superman" thing

He is pulling on that boot in a remarkably nonchalant manner, given what appears to be going on in the background! XD;

"Aw geez, thank goodness I got rid of that pebble in my boot. I would've had the worst attitude with that thing dangling around! Hopefully whatever Crisis is happening outside right now, I'll be able to resolve with a clear mind and positive thinking."

But yeah, I still really like the suit. I guess some people are grumpy that it's got indents and a New 52 collar, but knowing superhero movies, odds are we'll get an evolved suit by the third act.

Frank Grillo will be reprising Rick Flag Sr. from Creature Commandos for Peacemaker season 2.

Looks like Daddy is showing up to avenge his son.

Well as intended. Also this means Rick flag can come back right since it is an alternate universe

If his dad is showing up they’re most likely keeping TSS canon, at least in Broad Strokes.

Deadline is reporting the Supergirl movie will premiere June 26, 2026.

At this point I'll believe it when I see it.

We'll be getting our first look at Creature Commandos at Annecy Film Festival next month

I’ll have a draft ready by then. In case they release a trailer/release date.

Peacemaker referencing Matter-Eater Lad with a crazy-ass story makes me hope he shows up in something under Gunn.

Which we did have TDK who is an adaptation of Arm-Fall-Off-Boy so its possible for MEL to show up.

I'm very curious when Peacemaker. Its such a specific story that I can believe it did happen to him.

With Legacy arriving in a year, I hope this movie serves to improve the reputation of Superman, which injustice was responsible for destroying.

People take Injustice altogether too seriously. It’s just a video game with non-canon plot. And a fighting game to boot, so not exactly much widespread impact.

But its detractors treat it like it completely changed the scope of the entire Superman franchise with far reaching affects that any of the characters involved with never live down, when it’s really just a couple games from the 2010’s that came and went.

It’s like claiming MVCI killed the X-Men’s reputation, when within a year nobody really cared any more - it was more a nail against the game than the characters.

I think they meant the comics, which... I THINK are still ongoing or at least have stories set in that universe.

The comics ended six years ago.

They were just a tie-in for the games. Once the last game’s play period ended, the comics ended soon after.

That does not change that many people use injustice as "proof" that Superman is a bad day of being a psychopath dictator and that Batman is God.

I mean, they're not. Injustice hasn't been a part of anything like that since the game was current, which was over half a decade ago. Because the game was popular for a short amount of time, and then people moved on. I think you're overestimating how much the general audience actually adhered to it.

The only times I ever see that even come up is when Injustice detractors try to insist that the game is still in the public eye. They're the only ones ever see talking about Injustice at all any more, which mostly means that it's its detractors that are keeping the game in the conversation when otherwise it wouldn't be.

Or in short, there's always been more far, far people doomsaying "this game is going to make people think Superman is a psychopath!" than there were people who actually started thinking that as a result of the game. It's an overreaction.

Not to mention, if you're looking for good Superman media, it's not like we need this movie to suddenly be the big thing that saves the entire brand. Superman & Lois is a strong contender for one of the best non-comic Superman medias ever made, and that's been running for years. And My Adventures with Superman was a fairly major smash that just got a second season.

You say this now, but when Batman takes his super pills to beat up Clark in the new Superman movie, the injustice fans will be vindicated.

I got the impression Gunn was going with Classic Superman.
