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

[flickchick85]

I feel like when people hear "silly" or "goofy" they think Jim Carey turned up to 11. Simply not the case.

OR they're thinking Thor: Love and Thunder. Which I don't have a problem with, but most do.

These people killed the rom com!

 

[Tra-El]

This is about as far away from the MoS feel as one could get. I love it.

Of course. Isn't that the point? We got complete opposite ends of the spectrum and everything in the middle with this character. Give me the feast.

This is not how opposites work.

Also do you think if something is grounded, it can't be fun?

I'm just joshin' ya. There really wasn't a direction headed there. As for the grounded question, I think anything can be fun in the eye of the viewer. I'm not the sorcerer to set those subjective standards. So, sure. Yes.

I give Gunn credit tho. It looks like he did what Reeves did for his Batman. The tone, color, score, overall feel, he went for it. This feels like the most Superman comic come to life. I’m fully onboard. I expect the main general audience to like it as well. Just a vibe.

Having said that! I still prefer the alternate/darker versions of the character. I will hard chew all them jollyranchers till the end!

@flickchick85 and I watching Superman

 

[flickchick85]

Haven't mentioned this, but I love that Edi Gathegi officially has top billing behind the main trio. Mr. Terrific about to jump a few tiers in popularity, I think.

 

[Silvermoth]

I’m going to be so sad when those robots get taken out. I can just tell.

Love the vibe so far, very silver age

You about to get the wrath of Snow!

 

[Sawyer]

Didn’t notice the entire Fortress rotating until someone pointed it out.

That does make me wonder if there are any plans for the other movie heroes. Excluding Guy because we already know he's showing up on Lanterns, I feel like Mr. Terrific, Hawkgirl and Metamorpho were not put here to be one-offs, so I'm curious to learn what the plan is for them. With the Plastic Man rumors alive and well, I'm leaning toward something to do with the Terrifics, which I think this team might be an early version of, but idk.

Day one of me trying to not watch the sneak peek and wait for the movie to come out.

Hey look it's Mirabel in the live-action Encanto remake.

 

[flickchick85]

Rewatching the Fandango interview and now knowing the leaks were true, I just realized David caught himself almost giving away something big when talking about Krypto. Before settling on "It's sort of a foster situation" as a correction, he goes "Krypto's just been..." as in, "Krypto's just been dropped off with him"or "been left in his care," and had to figure out a way to say it without alluding to Kara.

I've said this a few times before, but this is what I incredibly respect when it comes to directors like Gunn and Zack (both a hot rod in their directing styles for differing reasons) is how unapologetic they are in their personal craft. When a studio hires directors in their vein, you damn well better recognize that you are getting a committed style of their stamp of approval. The audience is getting a full blown movie in their bloodline.

James was apprehensive when it came to taking on Superman at first (probably even a few more times than that) and purposely sidestepped the character. But it takes balls to not only accept a co-head position of a newly found; yet under scrutiny studio in the midst of spearheading a reboot, but also circling back around to a character that intimidated you to take a tough and iconic IP head on and follow through with doing it. I don't know how that can't be respected in its own right, no matter if you like the guy or not. I feel the same about Zack. What you see is what you get. Period. Gunn is a comic book guru, so him leaning full throttle into that is something we truly never got with Superman. We will now.

Having said that! I still prefer the alternate/darker versions of the character. I will hard chew all them jollyranchers till the end!

In a nutshell, they are all alternates to each other. Every story, I feel, is important to tell. Pass me over the bag of Jollyranchers when Zack gets his legacy JL Final Crisis sequel down the road.

I like sour apple.

Now my question is where's Streaky?

 

[flickchick85]

Streaky's not in Woman of Tomorrow, so I don't expect to see him. One super pet is enough, and Captain Marvel just did Goose, so best to avoid the comparisons. Especially if Kara's sticking with Danvers as her Earth name lol.

Footage looks terrific. As someone who wanted them to move away from the Donner design of the fortress, I’m impressed how good it looks. I love it actually. Everything else looks great too.

Also how many of those 14 fractures were from Krypto?
