James Gunn DCU
Now to make another thread on the other side of the wall I think James Gunn needs to stop trying to recreate guardians of the galaxy . I don’t mean with supergirl I mean the “lesser known characters to try to flesh out the universe “ trope . It’s unnecessary we didn’t need a guy Gardner , you could’ve did crisis on two earths and put guy or Alan in that universe. You didn’t have to lean so hard into the upbeat bright color tropes , the audience wouldn’t have had a problem with MOS tone if it was a better movie . Movies like days of future past, the dark knight ect proves that tone can be successful. I was proud of them for the direction they went in supergirls finale . I understand that the tone should vary depending on the character .
Well to get to my real issue, with marvel never owning ALL their characters , and snyderverse getting canceled comic book fans who grew up on great adaptions like JLU and EMH have never had a proper live screen adaptions . We get stories with no mutants a substitute villain. Even iron man had so much missing lore they never adapted which is why dr doom will be hit or miss . People trusted that the bigger picture would give us the bigger picture . Now it’s 2026 and both companies have yet to introduce a comic like roster of characters . Marvel can’t stop calling team up avengers when it should just be Marvels \*Event\* .DC has a golden chance here a clean slate to take over during marvels low moment and give us what we want to see. Martian manhunter, Captain atom, firestorm, Wally west, Constantine, Jason Todd . I mean the ideas are endless . what have we got ? Supergirl , Creature commandos, peacemaker, and I hear an old Hal Jordan and jimmy olsen and grodd show? I like some of those projects but WHY? Why not adapt the Batman as your universe when it’s better than what you’ve dropped to give us a Batman movie with probably condiment man as the villain 🤦🏾♂️. I just don’t get it I love DC it’s my favorite company . Flash is my favorite superhero but I am not confident with the company in Gunns hands . I’m not synderstan it isn’t that deep I don’t want to fight, I just want to hear people’s thoughts and see if I’m alone on this .
