The Daily Planet Vol. 2: Superman News and Speculation Thread (🚨TAG SPOILERS🚨)

[GreenKToo]

Lex is going to steal the show, and that's terrible.
Love me some Lex.

That reminds me J.J. Jameson's conspiracies theories about Spider-Man. Saving people from fires he probably caused and all of that.

But back to Superman, the new S.H. Figuarts figure was teased today.

That Superman is a definite buy!

I had the McFarlane figure pre-ordered at first, but I figured eventually we'd get some more premium figures. Or I at least hoped for either MAFEX or S.H. Figuarts to announce a DCU Superman figure.

I have the McFarlane figure with the wired cloth cape - it's a great figure and I'm very happy with it.

I've also pre-ordered the new Superman figure made by FondJoy. Looks amazing, comparable to what SH makes, and for the price of McFarlane. I'd encourage you to give it a look.

Should be an interesting listen today. I appreciate that John, love him or hate him, is presenting multiple reactions he's heard. Yesterday they talked about the positive reviews. Today, the opposite.

This is weird. Is John trying to prove he isn’t a shill. Just enjoy the movie folks there will never be a movie made that everyone will like. Especially a Superhero movie.

"There will never be a movie made that everyone will like. Especially a Superhero movie."

Which he says. I think he's simply trying to present other perspectives and, like most YouTubers, providing content for his show.

I still expect this movie to draw strong opinions online, good and bad, although I suspect it will be much better received by the GA than the Singer and Snyder films. I also expect it will be less divided than those films, but I am anticipating some very negative reviews.

Neither is going to ruin my enjoyment or make me dislike it. SR is my favorite film and I hate Snyder's films. I'm going into this film with my own expectations.

Had this made... what you think?

It's SUPER!

Too cool!!!

Grifters do what they do... grift!

Why do you even listen to people like Campea, Randolph and the likes?

I remember a round table of guys reviewing The Batman on YouTube. I thought they saw Batman and Robin by the way they where criticizing the movie.

Yeah enjoy it for yourself and remember Minecraft/Lilo and Stitch’s reviews were not great at all.

Exactly. Campea is trash and his opinions suck. Grace is even worse...

I really don't get the online discourse about the Superman meeting Lex clip, saying that Dave showed "too much" emotion in the scene...

Like... Superman has showed emotion before, especially when egged on by Luthor of all people his arch nemesis, guys existed for 70+ years in the comics.

Duckface Clark Kent was not on my bucket list of 2025.

Well played Gunn.

 

[chintai80]

why do you have two different guys from the top and bottom photo?

what do they have to do with each other?

i watched the clip but with the audio turned off so i won't spoil myself.

but it looks like something straight out of a comic book.

people who don't know the character and the comics just want to find something to complain about.

their only reference to superman is snyder's superman who was portrayed as too stoic.

Nice. I don't collect action figures but from what I've seen the silver age Superman is the "ring that rules them all"



Mafex and Hot toys will make killer versions of David's Superman but they are way too pricey. I mean honestly $250 for an action figure?! Seriously?

 

[The Batman]

This film is gonna be huge. I've been trying to keep expectations in check, but as someone who feels like this genre is in thin ice, I've had a gut feeling this movie could end up being one of the best CBMs in a long time.

I was never as big fan of the guardians films as other people were, though I really liked them. I loved The Suicide Squad though. I think Gunn is a very good filmmaker, and I've thought since he was announced for this film that it would probably take him out of his comfort zone and do something a little different but so sincere and earnest. That seems to be what's happening here. I am so excited for this, honestly. Much more than I am even fantastic four.

I want these movies to make me feel something again. Robert Meyer has heard from someone who saw a screening that the movie makes you feel like a kid again and it brings out that kid like wonder, in a fairy tale sense. I think that's what I'm chasing here, so I was pleased to hear that.

I love how this film seems to have a strong All Star/Silver Age influence. I'm hoping this movie lives up to the hype for the same reasons you are.
