[selfishmisery]

Thursday, October 4

...which matches 2018 and 2029. Oops.

Perhaps it's a prequel?

That's impossible. Superman exists in the movie's present day, which means it has to be set after 2022 (realistically, 2025). I think we'd probably just have to ignore either the Thursday or the 4th.

Someone at the Daily Planet forgot what day of the week it was and made a typo.

James Gunn: Right now, there's actually two really cool film scripts that I'm hoping to take to the next level that we have general plans for, and I'm excited about both of those. And then I'm excited about one TV project in particular. I don't know why we're not greenlighted on that already — it's just figuring out the budget. So there's a couple of things that are very present that I'm excited about. Dealing with getting Supergirl into shape, all these other things.

It's probably the "V for Vendetta" project or the Jimmy Olsen thing.

No one?

 

[selfishmisery]

If no one is interested, it's difficult for me to be invested.

Interested to see how he does - liking that Gunn isn't going for big names tbh. (Biggest being maybe Cena or Hoult.)

 

[selfishmisery]

I just wanna have open discussion about these topics and it's usually dead air as of late.
Between this and other IRL stuff, my investment is draining.

Interesting.

Apologies. IRL stuff hasn't been great for me, hence my lack of involvement in these forums lately.

Am excited, I know him from some german shows / movies, he's a good actor ^^

Oh you're fine...I had other stuff going on too, had to restrain myself as much as possible from being too passive aggressive earlier.
I'm trying to have self-control.

 

[selfishmisery]

You know what Lars reminds me of?

Johnny Tambourine from adultswim's Saul of the Molemen.


I'm sure he's a great actor, just a thought I had.

These guys are on point. Not your average "Scoop" site.

My guess he gets caught in thr QUC pocket dimension as it is refolding back as it closes, granting him the DCU version of his powers.

I think there can be a separate timeline for the non-canon extended universe stories.

I think there can be a separate timeline for the non-canon extended universe stories.

But if it was hypothetically a separate timeline, it would still include everything DCU/DCEU, so what would be the point of making 2?

To see where the extended universe stuff fit into the overall timeline.

 

[stphylcccs]

But you could just… put it on the first one

Yeah but I don't like not separating non-canon stuff from the canon timeline. Also, most likely eventually the two timelines will become incompatible anyway.

Can I say something slightly political for a second?

Remember how the public quickly turned on Superman and later on loved him after Lex was ousted?
Play into that, Gunn. Much of humanity has the memory of goldfish and will conform to uncomfortable and extreme realities when confronted with them.
You have a certain someone whose first letter starts with "Asmongold" who gets millions of views cherry picking info and ignoring the rest while telling people "Everything ain't that bad, y'all." Which is not true...
(Not saying you need a parody version of him, maybe Gordon Godfrey of Apokolips with similar talking points to brainwash the people; but that's leaning in a bit too much.)

That's how Lex eventually becomes President after saving the world with Superman from Brainiac and winning back trust from people.
The Justice League will come into existence not only as a fighting force against the worst of the worst, but social heroes akin to the Super Friends who are extremely friendly to the press and public. Lex will wanna counter that with the DCU version of Legion of Doom / The Light.

Show us a reflection of humanity as the driving point for the DCU without anything that's too real or depressing.

Also, the Anti-Life Equation is the ultimate conformity to the worst possible reality.

The potential is there.

Very Wilson Fisk becoming mayor coded... among other things.

... so long as we don't end up with something like an adaptation of DCeased (DC's answer to Marvel Zombies), that is.
