Full Comment:

‘Superman’ is going to be incredible next year and we have so many things planned on the U.S. network side to support it and to ride the superhero wave. So that I am really excited about because I think that’s one of the things that our company does better than anybody; we all lean in. And when it’s something like a ‘Harry Potter’ or a ‘Barbie’ or a ‘Superman,’ there are so many touch points for so many different people, men, women, children. Everybody loves it, and everybody can come to it from a different angle, different stage of life. So the fact that we’ll be able to celebrate it in different ways across the U.S. networks is going to be really fun. We have a lot of very cool ideas around Food Network and ‘Shark Wee'” and all kinds of things. So that’s something I’m very excited to see next summer launch.

Are you going to bring James Gunn onto HGTV to make the Fortress of Solitude?

No, you know what we want? We’ve already said we want James Gunn to do — and I was able to ask him this in a public forum — he’s a huge animal advocate, and we want to use him for the ‘Puppy Bowl.’ The good news is, we’ll probably get him to adopt about 12 more puppies, and then everybody wins.

Well WB is already putting the DC Heroes on the ring apron and advertising for AEW Wrestling so it does seem like they have finally figured out what the word "synergy" means.

My friend just suggested this

Ignatius

Ignatius is a villain character in Krypto the Superdog. He is Lex Luthor's pet iguana and an enemy of Krypto as well. He once teamed up with Krypto, to stop Mechanikat. He is an iguana, with eyes nose and mouth, with turquoise, and lime green skin, and really long tongue, and with a long tail...

Clark Kent AND Superman! Gonna be wild

Awesome! Great showcase for Corenswet and I hope there’s a bunch of Bizarro in the characterization.

Forget Ultraman, who tf is 'Baby Joe', and why does he get a figure over Hawkgirl???

Because Todd McFarlane is a sexist idiot who thinks that “boys don’t want to play with female figures”.

Not joking, he’s on camera saying that.

This sounds like a Pacific Rim crossover.

That rough trailer description actually sounds legit. How did we miss this?

I read it but thought it sounded fake at the time because it seemed clearly based on the stuff we already knew we'd be getting. Except the "kaiju" bit which is always like a 50/50 chance of getting in a Gunn flick.

Spoiler

I think I know what the sequel is going to be.

 

[DCDAVE]

I hope the trailer description is true. That sounds like Superman to me with a side of Lantern, Lex, and Lois.

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Imagine that in just a couple of months, the film's marketing campaign will be hitting full swing.

 

[Nemeres]

Kaijus sound fun. Makes me think of Powerpuff Girls episodes.
