Here are some of mine.

1.) They have the Mummy bring Nina back in season 2 or 3 like he did in the comics (on the express condition that they kill him off afterwards or give some magical explanation on why he can’t bring her back a second time if she dies again)

2.) If they ever adapt the President Luther story have them be the “heroes” working with Captain Adam to bring in Clark and Bruce.

3.) A Batman movie with Dr. Phosphorus as the main antagonist or a flash back to Batman’s fight with Dr. Phosphorus in Batman Brave and The Bold.

4.) Eric returns

5.) King Shark references his new friends (Harley, Bloodsport, Ratcatcher, Sabastian and maybe Polkadot Man)

>The film’s lead, House of Dragons alum Milly Alcock, was dogged from the moment her casting was announced, with a disturbing amount of venom hurled at her physical appearance (something that has reached a disgraceful zenith since the film’s release). Add to that a female screenwriter in Ana Nogueira (along with the rabid disdain for Gunn’s supposed “woke agenda” from aspiring alpha male online gatekeepers), and from the beginning, the Manosphere was simply not going to allow it to succeed.

>A fierce torrent of dudebro think pieces, panel conversations, and supposed scoops flooded social media, each one working to one-up the others with sky-is-falling histrionics, Yellow-Sun-hot takes, and click-garnering thumbnails. More than any superhero movie since the first Captain Marvel film, have performative fragile males worked so hard to poison public sentiment before a second of footage was released.

>Alcock especially has been hounded by criticism over her physicality and her perceived lack of enthusiasm on the press circuit (Serious, “Maybe you should smile more” vibes). YouTube accounts such as Nerdrotic Daily and Geeks + Gamers, whose stable of mortally insecure, insufferable incels have been among those most ruthlessly attacking the actress in an effort to grow their already massive viewership among other easily-lured young men weaned on Conservative sexism and toxic masculinity.

>And, then, of course, there are the legions of perpetually lathered-up, zealous Zach Snyder fanboys who have been sitting vigil for the last couple of decades, and who want so desperately for the DCU to fail so that they can once again work themselves into a public frenzy to restore their beloved auteur to the lofty place they believe he alone deserves.

>But it isn’t easily intimidated conservative men only, as plenty of female content creators gleefully joined in the incessant crepe-hanging over the last few months, proving that it isn’t just the guys who are capable of manufacturing misogyny or being driven to corrosivity by declining revenue streams and oversaturated online spaces. To curry the favor of their largely male audiences, many women in these spaces have face-shamed Alcock with juvenile AI-generated caricatures.

>And let’s be clear: art’s interpretation is subjective, and there’s nothing wrong with criticisms grounded in substance, or admonishments about straying from the source material ( as happened here), but that’s not what this is, as evidenced by the giddy celebrations of the film’s financial failure among the men largely filling these spaces.

>Supergirl is a flawed yet well-crafted comic book movie. Alcock, especially, does wonderful work embodying the titular character and deserves to get further chances to bring Kara Zor-El to audiences. While it by no means reaches the stratospheric heights of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2, or the Russo Brothers’ Infinity War, it sure as heck isn’t Morbius, Black Adam, or Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, either.

>The sad truth is that even in comic book spaces that should be more evolved than other media landscapes, women actors, writers, artists, and directors still have to do three times the work to get a fraction of the credit. In an exponentially expanding virtual landscape where the lowest common denominator is courted and women are targeted, we’re going to continue to see these stories play out.

>Supergirl is a perfect example of how toxic content creators have ruined the experience of anticipating and seeing a comic book movie, spewing out a steady stream of negativity, speculation, rumor-mongering, and doom forecasting.

>By constantly competing in an oversaturated market, they build their brands on grievance, creating ever more incendiary content and engendering so much hatred toward a film before it’s even out that it doesn’t have a chance to be received on its merits.

>Combine that with the reality that 90 percent of these creators are dudes or women trying to draw their gaze, and a female-led superhero movie faces impossible scrutiny.

Saying ”we won’t move ahead with a project until we have a great final script” and then, as the THR article revealed yesterday, literally appropriating the movie away from the director in post-production, who’s now publicly distancing himself from the final output, begs the question — don’t make lofty promises you can’t follow through on. Gunn the director surely has succeeded with ‘Superman’, but Gunn the studio executive has left a lot to be desired.

Cosmicbook News claims that their insiders have repeatedly been telling that Matt Reeves is pushing back not just the use of Battinson in DCU but the use of Batman per se in the DCU. Reeves believes that Gunn’s DCU is all over the place without a plan or firm creative oversight, that any inclusion of the character of Batman in ‘Man of Tomorrow’ or other DCU project could hurt his own ‘The Batman’ franchise.

If this is true, it’s really bizarre and shocking.

A) How Matt Reeves has so much power that he can dictate the use or block the use of Batman which is a different version from his, in the DCU?

B) Is James Gunn as head of DC Studios really in control of DC‘s most valuable property?

What do you guys think, if this report is true?

hear me out, what if we make Wally West the main Flash of the DCU and make Barry Allen the veteran Flash. We could have the flash movie where Barry is a Veteran Flash who finds out his brother in law or nephew (whatever relation they have in this universe) also has Super speed and trains him as Kid flash and then at the end of the movie, Barry get injured, leaving the mantle of the Flash to be open. West takes over as the Flash, maybe temporarily at first, Barry could maybe return for a Justice League movie and then permanently retire from being the Flash. Then Wally west is the permanent flash.

I'd remove damain Wayne and I don't know why its a god and monsters chapters and the secend movie is in space

Hey everyone, so I finally got round to writing a single scenario made by u/LaylaLegion and how my Diana would react. First of many scenarios to come hopefully. It's by no means perfect or groundbreaking but without further delay, her it is :

Scenario #1 : A female criminal is given the Gorgon’s Eyes, a god artifact that grants the wearer the abilities of a Gorgon. She uses the artifact to rob under the name Madame Medusa. Diana later finds Madame Medusa kneeling in front of a statue of a small child, weeping hopelessly. The child is her own, an unintended victim.

My Diana’s Reaction & Scene : Diana had been tracking down Madame Medusa for days, until she finally found her. But instead of a cold, vicious villain she found a grieving mother.

"You're her, aren't you...?" Diana whispered, voice low and solemn.

Madame Medusa weakly turns her head.

Her eyes narrow at the sight of Wonder Woman, not poised and ready, not even armed but just present, standing there.

Diana, with closed eyes, moves forward in a single motion. Madame Medusa barely flinches, her grief consuming any trace of fear left within.

'At least I would be reunited with my son' She thought, but instead of a swift strike or painless death, Madame Medusa felt arms wrap around her in a firm embrace.

Her eyes widen in surprise, brows furrowing in confusion, all before the floodgates release once more.

"You don't understand, there is no reversing what happened today." She hisses.

"I know." Diana responds softly "But there is hope, preventing something like this from ever happening once more. You will answer for your crimes, all the pain and devastation you caused...but that doesn't have to be the end of your story. Come with me, I have friends who can help, teach you to deal with your condition...and create a future that honors him too."

Madame Medusa glances at her petrified son, a mix of emotions bubbling underneath the surface but Diana’s words resonate.

She doesn't open up further or reciprocate the physical contact, but in that moment, Madame Medusa simply allows herself to be hugged.
