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

[Herolee10]

I finally found someone that makes me look as calm and reasonable as @flickchick85

[Avenging Angel]

I just loved this edit.

Spoiler: Sups Video

Any guesses on when the film will be released on Blu-ray?

Hopefully as late as possible, so it can thrive in theaters.

Realistically, in September/October.

Hey mods……. It might be time to post a Superman 2 thread. Gunn confirmed he is writing it.

He also clarified it’s just the same “not exactly a sequel” he’s been talking about for the last few weeks.



So nothing new here.

Come on James we don’t want another BVS situation.

I don't exactly like that wording.. we've heard that before with BvS & something similar with Superman Returns.

Am I alone for preferring to have a Superman 2 while he gets the ball firmly rolling for WW, Batman & presumably Flash/Aquaman projects before rushing into what is I presume, some sort of team up idea.. ?

I’m not against a World’s Finest because we’ve truly never properly gotten that, but it’s not my preference. The one team-up I’d be more hyped for than a solo Supes sequel is definitely Superman/Supergirl. I need my Brainiac, AND I think announcing such a thing would also boost Supergirl’s box office prospects, which, as I’ve mentioned, I’m very worried about despite thinking her movie will be great.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

He already confirmed it's not World's Finest or a Trinity film. I don't think they're going to rush into any of that. Batman and Wonder Woman should and probably will both have solo films before we see them all team up.

I am with you. David’s Superman has been universally excepted. You got the perfect villain for the second movie in Braniac. Bradley Cooper as Joe-El sounds very intriguing. You have side rogues like Mixy, Live Wire, Toy Man, Parasite, ect….. I am all in on Superman. Superman/Supergirl is where this thing is headed.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

I think we're all hoping it's a Superman/Supergirl teamup. It's the most logical creative direction after both have already been established in their own movies.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I'm definitely hoping its a Superman/Supergirl team up. It can serve a sequel to both films, and hopefully give us Brainiac.

 

[dhandler01]

Well the thing is if the world is under attack from Brainiac it would be weird if Kara wasnt helping. It would be too convenient if she was "offworld" again.

 

[Superark]

This is what I think it is. Makes the most sense and it helps further establish Supergirl as one of their pillars of the DCU.

 

[Superark]

 

[Deck Rickard]

Yeah, I’m all in on the next movie being Superman and Supergirl taking on Brainiac. That’s ALL I want, I don’t need World’s Finest, Justice League, Trinity, etc.

Just give me THAT.

 

[Gu3ree]

Haven't been on in a few days. Seen the movie 4 times. Thinking whether I should watch a 5th time. Still hoping this weekend box office rises more.
I also watched The Fantastic Four: First Steps this week. It was enjoyable. Felt it had a slightly similar vibe to Superman 2025, as they started in the 'middle of the action'. Film was good but was mostly plot-driven. It had more plot. It lacked Mr. Fantastic's stretching abilities. That was kind of disappointing. Otherwise the tone seemed to have better balance than Superman.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Wait what? Reed doesn’t stretch in F4?

I’m going to see it later, finally. Hoping I love it.

Also, I was hanging with one of my besties last night and totally convincer her to go see Superman after showing her some clips of Krypto (huge dog lover), so it looks like I’m going back for round three soon!

He does a few times, but except for one scene, Shakman doesn't really do anything special with the stretching. The use of his powers is rather scarse, throwaway and lackluster.

That’s… a choice.

To be fair, of all the goofy comic book superpowers out there, stretching might be my least favorite because it always looks silly to me. But I mean, I don’t think you should avoid that. I mean, that’s Reed’s thing. It would be like not having Superman fly.

I am getting the impression that Gunn is working on a Superman/Peacemaker movie. Especially if you follow the tea leaves. The pocket dimensions, Peacemaker season 2 picks up where Superman left off, Justice Gang/Flagg Sr., showing up in the show, Bel Reve….. Cena will be done with the WWE in 4 months.

I think a sequel to Superman will be with Supergirl, Braniac, Joe-El, and the daily planet gang but it’s years away. It will be a Avengers type movie in scope. Might end chapter 1 of the Gods and Monsters phase.

While an interesting theory, I don't see these two being in a co-led movie together at all.

Gunn is going to want to keep Superman a four quadrant property and you cannot do that with Peacemaker.

Cameos are fine. You can get away with that, but what you cannot have is a Peacemaker that is suddenly watered down because you need Superman alongside him appealing to kids.

Any films that are going to involve Peacemaker in a significant role are going to have to include similar rough around the edges characters that can be r-rated or he's going to have to be sprinkled lightly in bigger ensemble pieces for big battle scenes.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Yeah there is no way we’re getting a Superman movie where he’s alongside Peacemaker blowing random bad guys’ heads off. Peacemaker will cameo in stuff but Gunn isn’t going to risk something like a Superman/Peacemaker team up movie.
