Nathan Fillion on how the DCU differs from grounded Batman movies: "James Gunn’s universe is, ‘What if we lived in that universe, the comic book universe where giant monsters appear, where there’s robots and where there’s fantastic happenings constantly?"

>“Up to this point, we’ve been given the idea, ‘What if we took Batman out of that universe and put him into our world? What if it was real in our world?’” Fillion says. “James Gunn’s universe is, ‘What if we lived in that universe, the comic book universe where giant monsters appear, where there’s robots and where there’s fantastic happenings constantly?’”

Nathan Fillion on Man of Tomorrow: "In the first movie, and rightly so, we learn a lot about who Superman is. In this movie, I think we’ll learn more about who Lex Luthor is, and I think it’s equally important"

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.
