Superman (July 11th, 2025)

[EndoSickness]

This movie will be... cute.

If you loved Barbie and Wicked, you'll love Superman.

They're not making this movie for The Dark Knight crowd.

That is absolutely true!

Lobo sounds like another pointless ridiculous and derivative character from the world of comic book gobbly guk.

That's what he always was for me. Never got the hype.

I'll say this and stand by it, 100%.

Warner are effin' nitwits.
THEY HAD 90'S JURGENS SUPERMAN and they blew it.

100% stupid! I'm genuinely sad, when watching MOS, etc. now.

Seems like Jurgens was a fan of it too.

I believe to recall it somewhere in the back of my head.

So far, we’ve got a Superman movie coming out, and I think Supergirl is supposed to be next after that. Then, I’m hearing Clayface, Swamp Thing, and maybe Sgt. Rock. Aside from Superman, are any of these bankable characters for headlining their own movies?
Maybe Supergirl? Don’t get me wrong, I like some of these characters, but, Superman aside, I’m wondering if these were really the wisest choices for starting up a new cinematic universe.

Over extending themselves imo. Even if Superman makes a billion, it won't be enough.

Gunn seems to have a thing for the more obscure characters. I think it helps when they are surrounded by the biggest stars in the IP and in the middle of an established successful franchise.
Apparently, his Creature Commandos project got 488K views in its first week compared to Peacemaker's 640K, whilst The Penguin got 5.3m.
Considering how much is riding on this, you'd think the heavy hitters would be up first.

What do you think it will make?

 

[Mr. Awesome]

What do you think it will make?

No clue but best guess is definitely less than a billion.

I'm prolly wrong. People are cheering this film without any foresight. As if it's gonna be the next LOTR.

There are Gunn fans every bit as hateful and ridiculous as the Snyder Bros. And they will and are carrying a film that hasn't even released yet on their shoulders.

It's almost political. Gunn fans being liberals that absolutely despise Snyders work. As if his take on grown man characters with manly traits are something to curse.

While Gunn himself looks like a Xbox Nerd with his dyed hair and trying to be a hipster by not embracing main characters unless he's forced to.

And yes, he was FORCED to make a Superman movie by WB - IMO

Let it play out, I say.
