Trump isnt going to force a sale...that is some serious BlueAnon thinking. He won't block it but he won't force it either. Zazlov loves him so Trump will let him get the best deal possible.

It would be a very bad idea not to accept this deal Dave. Many people won't be happy. A tremendous amount even. Okay.

“We’re going to make the best deal anyone has ever seen. People say, ‘well how is WB is going to get better?’ and we will show everyone how to make WB the best it’s ever been. Guaranteed to be 900% better.”

I'm laughing but I'm also crying

My preference is that Lex should have at least some presence in any terrestrial based Superman film. His absence in MOS was one of many mistakes.

I don’t think Lex fatigue is as much of a risk as Joker fatigue. Lex can enter and exit the story without hijacking all the attention like Joker does.

My favorite adaptation of the Lex/Clark dynamic was in Smallville. They really got to develop how complicated their relationship was over the years. I want a similarly nuanced take on their dynamic here. Different story beats of course but just take influence from that love/hate almost brotherly relationship. Show the potential for friendship if things were just a little different, and their conflict is so much more powerful.

The creepy part is you used my name!

Ya know I worked a Trump VIP party back before the first term...if I posted the transcript (I wrote it all out) you wouldn't believe how dumb he is.

I can truly believe how dumb he is.

Just curious… does anyone know why WB is in this constant state of failure in which they always need some other company to buy them out? I was watching a few videos on this the other day and they were in this situation before with AOL, and then Discovery. They have some of the most valuable IP out there (you can argue that they’ve mishandled it a lot but they’ve still made a lot of money off of it over the years) and this year they’ve had a string of successful movies. They also have theme parks, which I assume make them a lot of money. I guess it’s just bad management at the top?

I have to assume that if they're using it, it's only for the purposes of screen tests with Corenswet.

I highly doubt they are going to use the exact same suit during filming. While I don't expect a major overhaul of the suit design, Gunn has already stated that you can expect tweaks to the suit in the sequels.

It actually goes back before the AOL merger. Its kind of a long story but the gist of it is this:

Ted Turner was the problem. Ted was a great salesman and had insights into the future but he was also terrible with accounting and business practices. He figured you can always outrun debt and ruin with the next big idea. When you couldn't do that anymore you shoved the debt into a different department and either shut it down or spin it off. You see this a lot today at Di$ney where Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm basically suck up all the resources so when the studios underperform cuts elsewhere need to offset it usually ESPN. Teddy did this on a grand scale and it hampered Time Warner even when they were making bank. The AOL merger brought a lot of this to a head and lead to the destruction of a lot of his legacy including stripping him of power. They haven't really recovered since...

(This is a rather over simplified version and you could also blame AOL for their part because the merger itself was a disaster)

Seeing reports that MoT’s working title is “Exodus.” Superman’s was “Genesis,” which was not without relevance to the story (the beginning, obvs). Trying to think of the relevance “Exodus” could have and it’s hard not to think we’re either leaving Earth, or more likely, a mass of people (like, say, a city) leaves Earth rather unexpectedly.

Brainiac shrinks Metropolis and bottles it just like Kandor?

I honestly thought more like Superman as Moses freeing the people of Kandor from the Pharaoh (Brainiac).

But what are the 10 Commandments? Does this mean Clark is pro-gun?

Thanks for this… I had forgotten all about Ted Turner and his involvement in all of this.

You could say it goes both ways.

Yep that is where I went as well.

If you guys had a choice between having a sequel with Superman and Lex as the co-leads or the Super-Family (Superman, Supergirl, and Krypto) be the leads, which one would you choose?

 

[Silvermoth]

Hm. I suppose the conflict between Superman and lex is quite intriguing and we haven’t seen a team up with them yet. It’s tough but I would probably say that

Either is fine.

Introduce Conner Kent on MoT and have Superman III be a proper Super-Family movie.
