Glad jimmy isn’t race swapped lol. Gunn is cooking so far

 

[abake]

Meh.
For better or worse, the Age of Superheroes seems to be over for me.
I follow the news and stuff, but unless the trailer is amazing, I doubt I'll be catching this, or any other superhero themed movie, at the theaters.

 

[jye4ever]

I’m still in the game.

I will always go watch a Batman movie opening night.

 

[abake]

You're right. The next Battinson movie could seduce me back to the theaters...

 

[The Buffinator]

Sara Sampaio and Skyler Gisondo confirmed as Tessmacher and Jimmy respectively. Gunn's casting is on point.

Sara Sampaio the model? I guess Gunn's casting is on point if he's strictly going for eye candy, but can she act? I'm fine with her casting either way, just curious.

 

[Shai]

Altough not the biggest Superman fan, I like James Gunn and so far all the casting choices seems excellent.

Interesting article in the New York Times today about Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse entering public domain as of Jan 1, 2024. The article also mentions that "over the next decade, freedom awaits all of these characters: Popeye; Pluto; Donald Duck; King Kong (the original film version); Superman; Daffy Duck; Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf and others from the Hobbit; James Bond; Batman; Captain Marvel".

So DC has until 2033, less than ten years, to make a new DCU before everyone and his mother can make a Superman or Batman film. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/01/...tml?mwgrp=c-dbar&hpgrp=ar-abar&smid=url-share

Only the initial character from Action Comics #1, not the full Superman IP itself. So no flying, no modern S and all the other stuff that was added later.

Let’s be real. The only thing there gonna do is make stupid horror stuff like they did with Winnie the Pooh and now doing with steamboat Willie

What about the Lone Ranger, Phantom etc? I've been wondering how they might be affected.

Ugh. They are gonna have a field day with the Superman rights

 

[Johnny Utah]

I preferred Meg Donnelly for Supergirl.

 

[ironwez20]

But.. But I liked the last girl.

 

[davejames]

Bummed we won't see more of Calle, but Alcock does seem like a solid choice and I look forward to seeing her in a supersuit.

 

[Otomofan]

I don't like her. She's weird-looking. She's got a strange mouth and perpetually stoned-looking eyes.

She reminds me of a female version of that weird-looking guy that played Adam Warlock.

 

[Sidewinder]

She is a bit odd looking. I always thought she looked a little strange in HOD. She is an Aussie though and I'm always glad to see our talent succeeding in the industry.

 

[jye4ever]

Her name makes her a win i’m all in.

 

[davejames]

Well this Supergirl is supposed to be a bit dark and edgy, and not the wholesome girl next door type that Benoist was, so I think her look kinda fits that.

This will definitely be the shortest Supergirl yet, with her being only 5'5.

 

[Frenchy]

I've never seen her in any role, I'm not convinced but i can't just judge just on physical appearance,
too bad for for Sasha Calle who could have had his own film.
