I read somewhere else they are actually selling Daily Planet newspapers to buy in Cleveland. I think someone on here lives out there, curious if that's true! If so, that's awesome.

 

[flickchick85]

Nah. Look at LA and NY.

Same people.

And yet dressed very differently!

 

[Lily Adler]

We don’t have whole cities in America dressing like the 1960s whilst others don’t. This is either gonna bleed into other projects, causing problems for other creatives who nah not want to follow that aesthetic, or Gunn’s world will be inconsistent, make no sense

I also hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the people coming down on this movie aren’t just Snyder bros. My own sister thinks the suit looks bad, albeit Corenswet is cute

Gunn’s costume designed lowkey kinda failed, so he’s gonna have to rely on the actors themselves

This is classist! Just cause one Spidey is a little more broke then the other, doesn't mean they aren't dressed the same. The store brand taste just like regular Cheerios!

Where is this from?

Where is this from?

Ramy on Hulu, super underrated show.

Alright, folks, say it with me - "goodbye, previously banned user!"

 

[Black Narcissus]

Lawd. I had never seen this.

That'd be cool. Saw one that the Daily Planet trucks advertises an app. They should actually make one and advertise the new DCU that way.

Every time this happens on the Hype, it reminds me of pro wrestlers who lose "loser leaves town" matches and come back to the federation with a masked gimmick to hide their identity.

To this day we still don't know who's Mr. America.

Some people never took anthropology in college and it shows.

I took zoology, anatomy, and psychology does that count.

My personal favorite was Bullet Brad Armstrong wrestling as “Arachnaman” in WCW. The blatant Spider-Man rip off who would even shoot out steamers and confetti from his wrists before matches.

A lot of the time, they don't even put in that amount of effort. They just pull an Elias to Ezekiel.

Gunn didn’t convince their sister, cancel the movie.

albeit Corenswet is cute

Never mind, keep filming. Gunn may just pull this off…

I can see it now with Mr Terrific one of the smartest people in the world being a bit annoyed about having to be tasked with tracking down a dog.

Obviously he will most likely have more to do in the film but if he is running around looking for a dog it could be fun.

But I also don't know the character that well and what he is like as a person. If he was given the job to find Superdog (my brain isn't working right now) would he accept it with full responsibility and take it very seriously or would he see it as beneath him? Is there a very set way as to how Mr Terrific behaves?

 

[DKDetective]

Which probably starts with the alien flying around, wearing a cape.

The idea that a film can't be incredibly emotional or philosophically challenging because of a mash up of eras in a city, is infantilizing comic books and audiences.

I take it @Ultramankrypton didn't watch The Batman because the costume and production design there was clearly anachronistic and based on several different eras as well.

It has been like 30 years since cops wore leather jackets on patrol and Ford stopped making Crown Victoria Police Interceptors over a decade ago.

Then there was Oz who dressed like someone out of an 80s mob movie.

I'm calling it now: Superman tells Mr Terrific to seek help from "an old friend" if something happens to him and tells him how to track him down. Mr T goes around looking for the friend and then he discovers it's just his superpowered dog.

 

[elgaz]

I wonder what Superman’s big ‘moment’ will be in this film. That one scene - not necessarily in the climatic act - which showcases his sheer power and strength.

In Superman 1978, it was his guttural roar followed by him flying round the planet faster than the speed of light to turn back time and save Lois.

In Superman Returns, it was him lifting an island - hundreds of thousands of tons of rock - full of Kryptonite into space before passing out.

In Man of Steel, it was him standing below the gravity beam of the world destroyer - enough immense pressure to terraform an entire planet pushing down on him - summoning the strength to fly into it and destroy it.

Just mute the #RestoretheSnyderverse accounts and bask in the glory.

Honestly I’d never mute that hashtag in a million years. Those people are hilarious.

Mister Terrific being annoyed at having to track down a dog when there are other, bigger problems to solve would be totally on brand for the character in the comics.

For anyone interested in the character, I totally recommend the comic series The Terrifics by Jeff Lemire and then Gene Luen Yang. It’s a blast. It also features Metamorpho, so you can get familiar with both characters. But it’s a really fun run.

Tower of Babel is probably the greatest Justice League story of all time in my opinion. Actually, I’d put Waid’s JL run as best of all time for JL. I also think that you underestimate what Kingdom Come’s underlying “message” really is. I think it is incredibly layered and even has a profound theological and political message at its core.

I basically love almost everything Waid writes and I think that he is the most imaginative writer going today. But it makes complete sense that if your favorite writers are Morrison and Moore, that he wouldn’t float your boat. We obviously have different tastes and are drawn to different tones. I would venture to guess that we probably meet at the middle and would both probably rank Len Wein very high.

Also a big Waid fan, and Kingdom Come isn't even in my Top 3 of his. To underplay his mammoth run on Flash is crazy to me.

Yeah. The Return of Barry Allen is the single greatest Flash story of all time and ultimately made me a Wally West fan for life.
