Not anymore, now it's all under Gunn direction. They ended the tomorrowverse with Crisis on Infinite Worlds.

I have my hopes that Gunn will do as he's always done, as he seems to get it.

Check Creature Commandos as that was the first animated show under him.

Check "The Specials." It was his first live action superhero movie

If only I could. Sadly the powers that be have decided that us lesser beings outside America aren’t worthy of being shown this show.

Okay so now that we’ve established that you don’t know anything about me…



I’m talking about his reaction specifically to her - she’s asking questions as a reporter and he’s getting very angry, but they are valid questions a reporter would ask and I think he would be able to recognize that as well.

Which is why she is essentially prepping him for a hostile interview. Better he do it then that in front of a bunch of reporters.

Dunno. Sounds like a bunch of hassle.

James Gunn: Some people will take offence at my new Superman

The director reveals why his superhero reboot has jokes, politics and is only two hours long — he’s the Man of Steel the world needs now

“There are three things I don’t ever need to see again in a superhero movie,” says Gunn, an amicable, booming, bullish 58-year-old who gets to the point. “I don’t need to see pearls in a back alley when Batman’s parents are killed. I don’t need to see the radioactive spider biting Spider-Man. And I don’t need to see baby Kal coming from Krypton in a little baby rocket. We have watched a million movies with characters who don’t have their upbringing explained, like when we see Good Night, and Good Luck we don’t need to know the early life of Edward R Murrow to explain how he became a journalist. Who cares?”

“This Superman does seem to come at a particular time when people are feeling a loss of hope in other people’s goodness,” Gunn adds. “I’m telling a story about a guy who is uniquely good, and that feels needed now because there is a meanness that has emerged due to cultural figures being mean online.”

I say how in our divided world, if Superman did actually turn up, we would argue against him, shun him, call him a fraud and kick him out. “It’s happening with the movie,” Gunn says. “We posted footage of David with a bunch of kids who were extras on set. Kids love Superman — it’s like when they see Santa. And David is high-fiving them, it was so beautiful, such a cute video. And then I saw people saying, ‘Oh, great, we’ve got a Superman who’s a pussy.’ Are you kidding me? That’s something you’re going to attack? That little kids like this guy and he’s kind?”

I like how they did it in the Incredible Hulk: a montage during the title sequence providing some background info, but not spending a whole act or two of the actual movie on it.
It establishes that there was an experiment that turned Bruce into the Hulk, Betsy got seriously hurt, Thunderbolt got hurt as well believing he was defending her, Bruce has been on the run, and he's trying to control the Hulk via meditation. That's pretty much all you need before going into the movie itself. You could easily do similar montages for Batman, Spider-Man, and Superman, since their backgrounds are pretty much common knowledge. You probably could not have gotten away with doing the same for Iron Man back in 2008.

Yeah, it's definitely needed for the Hulk and Iron Man. Really almost all of the MCU.

I don't think Gunn is wrong about Supes, Bats and Spidey, though. It's hard to think of characters in fiction whose origins are more commonly known.

And I think he's right that it often doesn't matter: When the obscure character Mr. Terrific shows up in this movie, I'm sure there will be someone howling "who is this guy, how is he doing all this?" But I think most of the audience will just accept this is a world full of super-beings and he's one of them.
