But he will have the bowl cut, though. The most important part of Guy. Gunn has said he will. I don't know about all of these announcements. I'm basic when it comes to my superheroes so Superman is my favorite. I just want a good Superman movie that focuses on Superman and doesn't get bogged down with a million other things. Give me Supergirl or Steel instead of Hawkgirl or Metamorpho. Gunn's great with ensemble casts but this really doesn't need to be one, IMO.

Oh I know, it’s why I’m more excited. I do get what you’re saying but it’s also why I pitched the scenario I did. The film is there to set up the new DCU, that’s been established. You have a pretty cool opportunity, even in a minor way, to grow Lois and Clark’s relationship as reporters being in this new space by them, say, interviewing Mr Terrific briefly about his magic show or Kendra Saunders (presumably the Hawkgirl they’ll base on with the casting) talking about a museum exhibit or Rex Mason being a part of an exhibition to Egypt which leads to him becoming Metamorpho. A lot of this stuff doesn’t have to happen right now but you put the pieces together and then you can use animated shows or TV shows to establish these characters more. You show the kind of stories the Daily Planet covers and gives the audience a few seconds with characters rather than try and stuff the film with stuff that might not matter. You also could be right and it becomes an ensemble piece and I’ll look like my dummy but that’s what these announcements said to me anyway.

Gunn has explicitly said he's not using this to set up any other movies or shows and that they all serve the story, whatever that story is. I'm going to try and give it a fair shake. Honestly, I think I'd be happier if all of the news and speculation just went dark until much later in the production. I don't think it's due to start filming until early next year. Two more years of this talk and I'll be sick of it, lmao.

And yeah, I wish that were the case but considering what’s been going on with the remnants of the DCEU, I can see the logic of them trying to do some good PR for the Gunn/Safran administration to counteract it.

What are the odds of Sean Gunn playing Plastic Man?

In either case, I am cool with the other hero inclusions because, well, it's a different approach. We've already seen him alone numerous times, him antagonistic with other heroes, but not really in a situation where he actually *likes* anybody, really, on the big screen.

We've also seen the Superman origin story a gazillion times. The Batman and the Tom Holland Spider-Man films proved that you can feature a new interpretation of a superhero moviegoers are familiar with without needing to repeat the origin story for the umpteenth time.

Yeah, everyone knows the big Superhero characters origins. Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, they don't need their origins explained again.

Batman should have a new origin. His parents are alive and well but he just likes fighting crime dressed as a bat.

It was a quick recap in the intro sequence... but they didn't do the whole gamma bomb explosion thing.

I have not been following the news at all but I'd love it if we got a Superman movie where Lex wasn't the villain. Yes there technically have been some, but he's been all over Superman media for decades and I'd like a bit of a break. It was so refreshing with Superman and Lois just straight up having him start in jail.

It'd be interesting if Lex was a supporting character or even a friend of Clark's instead of a villain.

This casting is a big win.
