Should there be a post credits scene for Superman? Yes or no? Why or why not?

[TheGDBatman]

They should take a page from DC Fandome and do featurettes for the next film to hype people up. Teases the next movie, not required viewing, behind the scenes videos appeal to fans, etc.

 

[GreenKToo]

The thing is, they are all in the same universe and connected, so I don't see why they wouldn't have the post credit scenes.

 

[Tg11]

I say yes, on the basis that a post credit scene could help with overall buzz for the film... plus, mid credit scenes and post credit scenes are now a normal for most superhero films, so I don't see a reason why there shouldn't be one

Exactly my point it helps with buzz for the DCU going forward and it's pretty much the norm now

 

[GreenKToo]

I could definitely see them NOT doing it if each film was a stand alone film like the batman, and they were the only hero in "their" world, etc, but they aren't the only heroe(s), and Gunn has already said that they're ( the DCU ) all connected.

So you suggest not doing it for every film but only for certain films in the DCU?

 

[Chris B]

It feels inevitable that there'd be one pertaining to Supergirl. At the bare minimum, I could easily see Gunn doing one as a gag. Probably something with Guy Gardner.

Yes.

So the consensus is for DCU to just follow the trends that Marvel started nearly 20 years ago and to not veer from that blueprint even though it has become a caricature of itself?

I'm kind of over the whole post credits thing myself, to be honest. Teases for what comes next can always be baked in to the actual movie. Just going off of Marvel's post credit scenes, it was fun when they were building up to a clear goal, like the formation of the Avengers or Thanos collecting the Infinity Stones but when they throw stuff out there that we don't even know if and when it will come to fruition like Harry Styles showing up at the end of Eternals or the Quantumania post-credits scene with a now-fired council of Kangs, it loses its luster.

Occasionally I'll watch a movie reaction on YouTube. I had to cringe when I watched a Batman '89 one where the person actually skipped past the credits to see if there was a post-credit sequence.

Most of James main heads of department already worked in the MCU in several projects, and again, even on TSS and Peacemaker he put post-credits. I think the consensus here is that it's inevitable and that intentionally trying to distance himself from the MCU at every turn is simply not a priority for him.

 

[emielaen]

They should try and make good movies then market them well. Post-credit scenes won't make or break em. Minds are made up on it anyway. If they use them: copying MCU. If they don't: missed oppurtunity. There's no need to even argue over it.

I sure hope we get a Superman post credits scene because it builds excitement so I sure as hell hope so

I have no doubt that they will have them. Whether they should is an entirely different matter.

I cannot relate to a person having to have a post credit scene in order to be excited for a sequel.
People anticipated upcoming movies for decades before Marvel started their gimmick.

 

[Sverdlovski]

I think it would be a good idea if a post-credits scene shows Lobo (played by Jason Momoa). I don't know,I just like the idea

 

[GreenKToo]

It's much more likely than not that we get some sort of post credit scenes. It's inevitable.

 

[SupermansPal]

The post-credit scene should be Jimmy transforming into the Turtle-Man

I don't remember the last time a post credit scene was remotely exciting or interesting. It's such a dead gimmick now. They won't avoid them, but they 100% should.

 

[king666]

Post-credit scenes are soooo 2015.

 

[emielaen]

I do know that it wouldn’t be a big deal either way.

But some will call it the bane of their enjoyment and declare the DCU a failure if they do it, while others will claim it a missed opportunity and a sign of poor planning if they don’t.

They’ll lose either way lol

 

[jetage]

In the post credit scene, Lois discovers the secret identity and end scene.

 

[Silvermoth]

Isn't It a Little Early for James Gunn To Be Teasing 'Superman's Post-Credits Scene?

It's going to be a looong seven months until #Superman hits theaters.

"So, I'm not gonna set up whole universes with end credits scenes. I love giving audiences who sit through all the credits end credits scenes but I'd rather it be something that's fun for fans and not necessarily, 'Hey, we're setting up the whole next part of the universe.' Because I know how it goes and I know what it's like and it's like, you think of the best credits scene, but you then you gotta adhere to that down the road."

Ok so probably don’t expect a Brainiac and Mongol reveal which would have been cool. But probably something like Krypto chewing on the villains leg or something cute

 

[Mr. Peanut]

If Brainiac isn't the secret main villain of this movie, then I sure as hell want him to be a post credits tease for the sequel.

 

[Adrian Chase]

I don't like post credit scenes, but from a commercial point of view it is inevitable.

 

[Primal Slayer]

No because you only do post credit scenes if you are sure you are returning and know what you are actually doing next that can hype the audience. THis verse is not there yet.
