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

[flickchick85]

War World with special guest star, Wonder Woman. Mongol promoting the Amazon vs the Kryptonian. Gunn would have some fun with this.

I definitely want to see Mongul/Warworld sooner than later (he is a top 5 Supes rogue for me and the Warworld Saga was my favorite Supes story of the last decade), but we are long, looooooong overdue for Brainiac on the big screen at this point. It is his time.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

If they do a sequel with Brainiac as the villain, its got to be Spider-Man 2/TDK level. Give us the best sequel ever.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

The Snyder goons have unquestionably lost. Think it’s time to stop treating them as a perpetual phantom haunting the fandom. That just contributes to them remaining defining interpretations of these characters that subsequent iterations of have perpetually been looked at first and foremost in conversation with them.

Waiting to be seated now. They had the Galactus bucket!!!! I caved lol!!!!

I hear you. With what happened to Jer El and Lara’s message along with the fortresses robots Brianiac would be easy to do. Was always worried that Marvel would do Ultron right but thank goodness they didn’t. Brianiac would be an excellent “DCU Big bad” if done correctly.

 

[GreenKToo]

Brainiac or mongul definitely need to be next.

Cinemark is selling them now. In theaters only. Not online yet.

If you have Cinemark Movie Club, you can get 20% off the bucket and trade credits for 12 bucks per credit you use. Which I had like 22 credits, so I used several lol

 

[GreenKToo]

I saw them today at my cinemark also.

Ladies and germs. We have officially reached the Mecca of Cinema, Lincoln Square, NYC

My favorite theater on Earth

 

[Spider-Fan]

I miss the Lincoln Square theater. That was my go to when I lived there

Superman was incredible.

David Corenswet embodies the character SO much as Christopher Reeve before him in that he disappears into this role and makes you believe a man can fly, but also inspire you to hope for a better tomorrow.

 

[jokesonm3]

Me personally, i would love it if the sequel adapted "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way?" Pitting Superman's moral "no killing code" against the Elite and thier brand of justice, especially given the rise of popularity of "injustice/Evil-Superman/Peacemaker" type heroes in the last decade, make the general audience question what type of Heroes should be in the DCU.



And if they opt for a trilogy (i'd be shocked if they wouldn't) Give us a two-part film giving us a proper Doomsday adaption with Part One killing of Superman and Part Two introducing us to Superboy/Eradicator/Hank Henshaw/Steel etc.



And obviously release Part One & Two between Justice League films so we don't have a "Wait wasn't Superman dead?" moment

DC Is Considering Spinoff Shows for 'Superman' Supporting Characters

Edi Gathegi's Mister Terrific and Skyler Gisondo's Jimmy Olsen could get their own shows.

gizmodo.com

A new report from the Wall Street Journal says that DC Studios president and Superman writer-director James Gunn is considering spinoffs centering on Mister Terrific, played by Edi Gathegi, as well as Jimmy Olsen, played by Skyler Gisondo.

 

[dhandler01]

Both deserve it!

 

[GreenKToo]

The terrifics. guy, Mr terrific, metemorpho, hawkgirl.

I'd SO love a Lex spinoff series. Just 5 or 6 episodes. A origin.

 

[DCDAVE]

I think because of Superman viewership for Peacemaker will increase dramatically. I am glad they are doing this not all characters need to be on the big screen. Justice League international or Terrifics would be excellent as a 8 episode show.

 

[flickchick85]

I know I didn’t get around to watching Peacemaker S1 til like 8 months after release (didn’t originally plan to watch at all), but I will certainly be seated for S2 on Day One, so you might be onto something there. Fingers crossed for a Supes cameo!

 

[jokesonm3]

If they can get Jason Mamoa and Ezra Miller in the Peacemaker season 1 finale and the Justice Gang in the season 2 trailer, i'd be shocked if Corenswet isn't in it.

 

[dhandler01]

I was the same way but man...now its a must view!

 

[dhandler01]

If they can get Jason Mamoa and Ezra Miller in the Peacemaker season 1 finale and the Justice Gang in the season 2 trailer, i'd be shocked if Corenswet isn't in it.

He will probably jump at it!

Some new reporting from the Wall Street Journal:

-WB executives want Superman to gross over $500m.

-Kevin Feige was offered the DC gig before Gunn and Safran but the talks fizzled.

-WBD CEO David Zaslav personally killed the JJ Abrams Superman because he thought the script was “too woke”.

-Christopher Nolan successfully convinced WB executives to kill a show based on Robin.

-Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson met with David Zaslav to take over DC but the talks fizzled when Black Adam flopped.

-David Zaslav killed every DC project in development with the exception of The Batman 2 so that Gunn and Safran could have a clean slate.

-Batman and Wonder Woman will be re-established and eventually will be united with Superman in a Justice League movie.

-Gunn and Safran want to make two live action and one animated film every year.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

Zaslav killing the Coates movie for that reason literally has me grinding my teeth.

 

[dhandler01]

I believe about half of it...

 

[SwordOfMorning]

I don’t think I’m capable of not rooting against even DC projects I’m interested in just out of sheer loathing for Zaslav. Man should be marooned on Pluto.
