DC cinematic universe general stuff

He's not a bad actor but smells of nepotism

Big step down from Pedro Pascal playing Lord.

I like Sean Gunn he is a decent side kick thats about it really

Milly Alcock is the new Supergirl

I'm starting to really question whether Gunn has a portrayal of Superman worth putting on the screen.

It sounds like Clark's entire viewpoint is going to be under a heavy onslaught throughout the film, based on his description of Lois, Supergirl and the villains "who may have a point."

There's a fine line between portraying someone who can take criticism but who is also strong in their conviction, and someone who is going to be outright pissed on without reply.

I would say the opposite, that Supergirl’s worldview mirrors the viewers own current pessimism and weariness, and Clark/Superman’s perspective is the hopeful antidote to that.

Hope is only meaningful in the face of something, so a more downbeat foil is always required to add value.

It doesn’t get you much to have two heroes with the same point of view, it’s a bit of a hat-on-a-hat. It makes sense to me to have ‘goodies’ having a contrasting point of view, with Superman’s more hopeful POV questioned before ultimately winning out, since it’s his movie.

Gunn’s anti-hero success, and decent grasp of humanity across a few of his films, actually gives me hope he’ll be able to pull off the more sincere version too - but that he needs this foil to get there.

It's the attack from all sides that I find more bothersome, fair enough if his values are at odds with 1 or 2 characters, but Gunn seems to be going for relentless pressure on Clark.

If Clark wins the day his way after all the pressure, it could be special, it depends on what Gunn wants from the character. Given he made big early noise about how important portraying Superman correctly is, hopefully it will work out. I think Rebel has outlined how it should go down.

There's very much a feeling right now that the dog has bolted in the genre as a whole, but Warner Discovery* probably have the only person capable of pulling it off in Gunn.

*Edit that's probably going to be Warner Discovery Paramount by the time this film releases!

I'm disappointed to see James Gunn has announced the other day that John Murphy will score the music for "Superman: Legacy" and gone is Hans Zimmer's involvement in the DC movies. Anyway it’s James Gunn’s project now, as what would be expected, he will circle himself with the people that he knows and worked with before in the industry to get this movie made.

Just in case you don't know John Murphy, (as I didn't) here's his IMDB page! I'm a big fan of movie scores and soundtracks and the only soundtrack I would know from his list is Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and they are soundtracks!!! Now there is a difference between a movie score and a movie soundtrack, a score is usually instrumental music composed specifically for that movie, and a soundtrack is a selection of existing songs that are used in the movie, I 'm going to have to listen to some of him work, before I can judge it.

I did notice he has done work with Gunn before, as he did the score to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Suicide Squad.

I also see James Gunn has announced the casting of Milly Alcock as Supergirl. I'm not sure how to understand this news, does that mean she'll be in the "Superman: Legacy" too. If that's case it sounds like a very busy cast so fare.

I'm looking at it as a high budget live action adaptation of Justice League Animated, where it just happens to be an episode where Superman is the focal point.

I'd say less Justice League and more Justice League International.

Now if only they would cast Booster.

The current Harley Quinn series is a blast

Meh.

Yeah started this week with table read.

and the New Superman shied was possibly revealed too
