YES!!!

 

[chintai80]

that was quick!

great news!

Hell yeah.

Since Supes and Lex look uncharacteristically chummy in that drawing, I’m hoping it’s an indication that they need to temporarily team up against a much bigger threat. Preferably one with a very big BRAIN.

I'm happy to see Gunn confirm that The Tomorrow Man is actually part of the DCU and this film is actually its sequel.

 

[Bran The Man]

"Man of Tomorrow"... LET'S GO!

 

[Deck Rickard]

After all the speculation about announcements at San Diego Comic Con and New York Comic Con, Gunn just casually announces the sequel/followup on Instagram on a random Wednesday. lol

A buddy movie would be awesome.

Superman and Batman the same year. That's pretty doggone sweet.

I really did not see a Lex/Supes team-up movie coming.

Also, technically not "Superman 2." Very clever, Gunn. Now, time to tide are ourselves over by doing nothing but speculating on casting, taking every rumor at face value (and waiting for the Gunn Rebuttal), and arguing over what the announcement panels mean for the next *checks watch*: 1 year, 10 months, and 6 days.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

A Lex/Superman teamup movie is such a great idea.

Based on some of Gunn's comments about it being a nontraditional sequel: Lex is either a full co-lead or maybe the lead, right?

We may yet get our Supes/Bats release year after all. Let’s gooooooooooo!

 

[DarthSkywalker]

A Super family movie three years in a row is good start for the "universe". Like seeing Tony and Steve every year.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

"Man Of Tomorrow" is also absolutely about Lex in this context, not Superman.

Post credit scene gonna blow up the internet.

Reminds me of when S&L titled that one episode “Man of Steel” and it’s where they revealed John Henry Iron’s identity lol.

 

[flickchick85]

Dare I say Green Lantern might get an upgrade?

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Yeah I think this is gonna be the movie that really starts to tie whatever they’ve been cooking up universe-wise together
