James Gunn responds to a fan who called 'Lanterns' an "Elseworlds story" and said "I can’t comprehend this slate toward building a shared narrative universe"

Fan:

>As an “Elseworlds” story, this first episode of Lanterns is way better than the conceit of “True Detective meets DCU”. That said—and along with Supergirl, Creature Commandos, and the upcoming Clayface movie—I can’t comprehend this slate toward building a shared narrative universe.

Gunn:

>In the same way DC comics have. Certainly the DC works of Alan Moore, Darwyn Cooke, Grant Morrison, Jack Kirby, Paul Dini & Tom King can't be considered "of one tone". For me & others raised on DC comics, a huge part of the fun was enjoying a variety of stories in various genres & seeing inventive ways these tones interacted & interwove. For some of the authors - notably Moore & Morrison (& Tom King in Strange Adventures and more) that tonal interweaving became a part of the stories themselves.

WGA slams David Ellison's plan to pull Paramount from California: "This type of behavior is precisely why the merger should be blocked"

>“By threatening to leave the state because it doesn’t want the government to enforce the law, Paramount further proves the danger of its outsized power over the industry and what that will mean for writers and the creative community,” the WGA told Variety in a statement. “This type of behavior is precisely why the merger should be blocked.”

Jeffrey Dean Morgan on almost playing Lobo and Zack Snyder pitching him on BvS/Flashpoint: "He's like, can you just trust me?" (43:40 mark)

  • Potential Lobo Movie [43:40]

    • Real Discussions: Producer Akiva Goldsman held the rights to Lobo around the time they worked on The Losers, leading to serious discussions about Jeffrey Dean Morgan starring as the character.
    • Character Fit: Morgan felt Lobo's humor and sarcasm suited his personality, though he joked he would have needed a year to bulk up physically for the role.
    • Project Fate: A script was circulating that required further revisions, but Warner Bros. ultimately moved away from the project following the box-office performance of Watchmen and The Losers.

  • Playing Thomas Wayne & the Flashpoint Tease [45:02]

    • Zack Snyder's Hint: When Zack Snyder cast Morgan as Thomas Wayne in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Snyder hinted that he had bigger plans for the character down the road.
    • Flashpoint Batman: During the press tour for Watchmen, Snyder explicitly mentioned the Flashpoint comic arc (where Thomas Wayne becomes Batman), leaving Morgan excited about potentially wearing the batsuit.
    • Looking Back: Morgan expressed fondness for Snyder's darker take on the DC universe and regretted that those expanded storyline plans never materialized.
