Gonna have to get out of dodge before the spoilers start flying, but still. Exciting.

Terrific yes, Jimmy please Zod no.

 

[Sithborg]

Terrific yes, Jimmy please Zod no.

HBO going all in on Sklyer Gisondo.

Jimmy I’m not quite sure what else you can do with but I would love a Mr Terrific series

 

[TheScarecrow]

Jimmy I’m not quite sure what else you can do with but I would love a Mr Terrific series

I would LOVE a zany Jimmy Olsen short series where he transforms into various creatures etc.

Send him to a different dimension.

etc.

I desperately want a Daily Planet show.

C'mon Gunn!

A Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen series sounds too good to pass up. Bring the DP gang back, with Brosnahan too. And Corenswet can cameo. And Eve too as Jimmy’s new girlfriend

Bring in General Sam Lane, Lucy, Titano the Super Ape, Toy Man, Monsieur Mallah and the Brain, Ultra-Humanite—all the fun Silver Age stuff.

I’m all for a Mr. Terrific series too, but I also don’t mind a straight-to-streamer movie either. I miss those being an option.

 

[Silvermoth]

Please don’t call them the DP gang.

Silver age stuff would be cool though

 

[Sawyer]

Not quite sure how that’s supposed to work, but I’m vaguely intrigued. The set-up of the DCU already really being in full swing does seem to allow for a lot of villains to already be in the game. Might be a good way to get into some bad guys who’d likely never be the big bad of a film/series of their own.

Might be funny to do something Fourth World, considering that all kicked off in a Jimmy Olsen comic.

Little surprised, though. I was really betting on something like the Matt Fraction comic/harkening back to the Silver Age.

 

[Silvermoth]

Oh wait that pitch slays actually. Kind of love that

 

[emielaen]

Hosted by seems like a funny note lol what if its a show within the world of the DCU that he hosts? A 48HR/Dateline/true crime kinda interview/narration thing about famous DC cases?

[Business Time]

100% support the Jimmy show.

The 'Office'-inspired Daily Planet skits were quite funny.

 

[Pennywise]

 

[Silvermoth]

That’s very cool! Will he try to kill Barack Obama again?

 

[Silvermoth]

Ok I really need to hear some casting suggestions for Grodd. Do you think Jack Black will get it since he recently followed Gunn? Or Seth Rogen and he can be like, the monkey guy.
