He did indeed try. His Superman was good.
One of the best. And the Reve movies were a core part of my childhood.
Superman was good, also Lanterns, Peacemaker, and Creature Commandos. I did bail about a third of the way into Supergirl, which just felt like a rejected Guardians of the Galaxy script.
Supergirl is a very good comic with beautiful art. I don’t know how they turned that into such an ugly and crappy movie.
Someone else directed it, Gunn was probably too tired to fix it?
Gunn read the script. He saw how they mangled the story from the start and did nothing. The comic series the movie is based on is in my personal top 5.
I didn’t even care that there was a poorly-behaved dog in danger. You’ll have to take my word for it, but that is an extremely strong indictment of a movie’s pacing and writing.
I read that there was a lot of head butting between the director and Gunn.
Lanterns was mid.
For DC though. Feel kind of bad for them at this point… (but not really)
I agree. For DC standards it was good. Felt like the Moonknight case where it was so hyped for no reason. Barely any action or plot. Wish they make these drama type series with characters more suited.
They have a lot of cartoons for that, Lanterns was very clearly meant for an adult audience
Adult audience cannot watch CGI? Don’t get me wrong but they could’ve made an adult story focused drama with characters like Penguin. That show’s a masterpiece. This wasn’t even that good for what it was.
Also wasn’t the who DCU thing about making a successful franchise like marvel? Your comment makes no sense to me.
Not mentioning the obvious ≠ advocating for or believing the opposite. Of course it doesn’t make sense to you, you didn’t even read it
Ok. Next time make sure to bring something relevant to the conversation :)
There are some other animated shows worth a look. The adventures with Superman was really fun and I loved the Suicide Squad Iseki. That was so absurd in the perfect way.
i think thier animated series do much better, because they can cover more villians/heros comprehensively than the movies, or live actions.
And so another major DC universe reboot gets put in the pile with the rest. Maybe we can try another Batman trilogy and see if that’s a good start?
Only if we get the glp1 joker this time
I’m cursed to live in a time where every decade sees a darker, grittier Batman reboot.
Peacemaker season 1 was legit
First I’ve heard of this. Damn. I was eager to see what else he’d do with other DC characters.
His Suicide Squad was great
What an incredible run!
The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, Superman, Supergirl, Lanterns (though idk how involved he was with that one), Clayface, Man of Tomorrow (soon), and another in-progress project that may or may not happen.
I’m so glad he’s done with his non-creative responsibilities
With Gunn, there was a chance DC would do the ultimate reboot: ‘Batman: The Musical.’
With the new DC head, will settle for: 'Batman and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.’
Not after the bombing of Joker 2
If you havent watched “Mayhem of the Music Meister” from the “Batman: The Brave and the Bold” series, you’re missing out.
