I supported the DCEU, I wanted it to succeed... but it didn't. It's understandable why it didn't. I'm supporting the DCU, and I hope it succeeds. I've been waiting a long time on a new live action Green Lantern since the first movie... I am very excited for the TV series, even if some things worry me about it lol.

I feel like the series will be something special. Granted, it doesn’t exactly sound like my ideal Green Lantern series because that would be the entire Corps traversing multiple galaxies and battling hordes of enemies but… this stripped down, True Detective approach really interests me. And the cast is just perfect. Every actor in it is good and I feel they nailed the two leads especially. Hal is older than I would expect but I guess I always think of Hal as an older hero since he had the gray temple streaks in his hair in the 90s (yeah I know that was just “Parallax” aging him lol) but he tended to have kind of a fatherly attitude back then in the pre-Emerald Twilight days.
 
I need Peacemaker released already. The wait is killing me!
I loved it when it first came out. Just rewatched it in a day last week. Krypto better watch out Eaglelee is the top DCU pet in my opinion. I hope the DCU cameo is Krypto chasing Eaglelee through the pocket universe. :woozy: :dizzy: :-)

Nah Krypto will take it easy like he did with the squirrels at the end of Superman. Man I have so many pocket universe scenes for Peacemaker I would love to see. DCU Batman, Reeves Batman, Lobo, Mr. Miracle, Booster Gold, Frankenstein/Bride ect……
 
Made 5.25 million over the weekend. Good hold. Dropping only 34 precent. Pretty much every film had good holds this weekend as there wasn't any big new releases except for Nobody 2. Kids going back to school and adults no longer on vacation so the weekday totals become less impressive and people have to go to the movies on the weekend instead.
 
Looks like I finally need to watch The Suicide Squad and season 1.
It’s not for everyone because of the tone. Peacemaker’s father is a piece of crap. Glad they changed him for season 2 in the other universe. Vigilante and Eagly steal the show. I like Merv as well. It’s a fast watch.

I wouldn't mind watching Peacemaker if it didn't have some raunchy scenes. It's not my cup of tea or something that I can easily watch in a place that's occupied by other people.

Peacemaker's father being a piece of crap is important for the character's development.

And I'm glad that they didn't shy away from showing a real POS racist like that.

James Gunn's DC movies and series have all been sneakily political.

They're never preachy and never forget to be entertaining superhero / action adventure entertainment first and foremost, but there's always some jabs at the evil in our world.

I hear you but Robert Patrick doesn’t deserve that type cast. You are so right about Gunn’s politics. Especially with GOTG 3 and Superman.

I mean, the role was written whether or not Robert Patrick would've ultimately played him. Might as well have a great actor like him playing it. Looking forward to what they do with him in S2, though.

I can’t believe I am this pumped for Peacemaker and I loved season one. I just want to see how they will change it from the DCEU to the DCU.
 
I don't think it will change much outside of the interactions with characters from the broader DC universe.

Ever since The Suicide Squad
, james Gunn has brought his very own take on the DC Universe, and has been coherent with his vision ever since.
 
I guess I mean how will Gunn bring Peacemaker to the DCU. Is the Rick Flagg Sr. that is in Superman different from the DCEU Rick Flagg Sr. Gunn will actually explain that.

I don't think that we'll see Peacemaker literally switch universes from the DCEU from the DCU.

James Gunn has been saying for months that pretty much all of Peacemaker S1 is canon except the Justice League cameo.

Peacemaker's dad from the DCEU is still Peacemaker's dad in the DCU.

Rick Flagg Sr. is the same guy everywhere we’ve seen him. He looks a bit different in Creature Commandoes than he does in Superman and Peacemaker because they weren’t able to die his hair gray in real life since Frank Grillo has commitments to another TV show.

Did Gunn say that? What if Grillo ends up with white hair at the end of the show. I think Superman means more to this season than we are led to believe. Episode 6, 7, 8 might change our perception of the Superman film. The Penguin series made the Batman even better. It’s an incredible watch back to back. Hopefully Peacemaker does the same for Superman.
 
So, the new line from the haters is that Superman won’t even make $600 million.
Guys, it’s only 6 million away from that and, it made 5 million just YESTERDAY!

€5.5M

in Italy | TUE August 19th

6. Superman | €25,076 | Tot. €5,513,146

0*UpsR657-28pqVfii.gif


This bodes well for any Superman sequel. With how it opened*, beating Man of Steel's €4.7M wasn't necessarily in the cards. And now it has not only crossed the €5M mark and outgrossed Superman Returns, the movie might be on its way to surpass the €5.6M run of the original Guardians of the Galaxy movie (Vol. 2 and 3 went on to make €7.1M and €10.9M). Impressive legs!

* €1.9M 5-day weekend vs MOS €1.8M 4-day weekend
