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

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.

I might watch it again. I will try not to go off topic but

Spoiler: Spoiler

the most I felt we saw of Richards using his stretching abilities, as in using them in action/to fight crime was in the final battle, sadly which he would get 'overstretched' by Gallactus. Did we see Richards even throw a punch? I recall in 2005's Fantastic Four, Reeds actually did utilize his powers more. He catches a man form falling, and uses his stretching to the best of his abilities in the final battle with Dr. Doom.

Peacemaker? No chance that gets a movie at all let alone with Superman. Better chance of Lobo and that ain't happening either.

You don’t know what Peacemaker we will get after he enters the DCU through the pocket dimension. The White Dragon appears to be good in the trailers. Hardcourt seems to be different as well. The show will connect the DCU with the DCEU. I am interested to see how Gunn does it. Mister Miracle and Hawkgirl are killers as well so Peacemaker can interact with Supes. He was in the Superman movie. Did you guys miss his cameo?

 

[Deck Rickard]

Yeah I totally missed his cameo. Where was he?

 

[donuts]

On TV.

 

[DCDAVE]

In my theater at least, Peacemaker got a pop from the crowd.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Well there it is then. A 25-second cameo clearly revealed that Superman & Peacemaker is coming in 2027. $1B guaranteed.

 

[chintai80]

yea, the crowd at my theater busted out laughing when they saw the peacemaker cameo.

Right but that is a TV show not a movie. Its an Easter Egg we all enjoyed but nothing else.

Cena is not a draw to theaters...that is why his latest effort ended up on Netflix despite having Idris Elba in it. He is mediocre even in bad Fast and Furious Films. Peacemaker as a teamup with Superman makes zero sense especially when you have all the members of the Justice Gang and Supergirl. I mean Mr. Handsome is in more of the film

 

[chintai80]

^ she makes some good observations about the film.

I could see Gunn doing a movie with just the Daily planet reporters. With David as Clark for most of the movie. With villains like Toy Man and Livewire. A Superman sequel sort of fits the profile. The budget would be low and we can actually see Clark and Lois being reporters.

Superman vs the Authority is also on the table. Ms. Spica is still out there. Good way to introduce Jenny Sparks, Midnighter, Apollo, Hashmoor, and the rest.

Sometimes I worry about these people's mental health

I don’t think The Authority happens tbh. Honestly, there was nothing about the Engineer that made her feel like anything more than a vicious brute. All of Luthor’s goons were beyond redemption so I have no interest in seeing her try and better herself for whatever reason.

Also, Faria is a Jordan Petersen fan so she can go away.

That is just it. The Engineer is not a brute. She is intelligent in the comics. There is a reason why she was not captured in the end. Ms. Spica will be back in the DCU. Most seemed to like her character from what I can tell.

 

[dhandler01]

So it didnt crash and fail then?

IIRC The Engineer is not exactly a hero in The Authority...she basically has little humanity.

But if Faria likes that fraud she can [bleep] off to Paramount Plus.

I'm assuming OrangeHammer is a reference to you know who...

 

[Herolee10]

I wonder how well this film would've done if it had been released 10 years ago during the CBM boom period.

 

[Black Narcissus]

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.

Can’t wait for Supergirl to team up with Batman to take down Superman. Oh, but done more funny and lighthearted.

What the hell are you talking about?

 

[Black Narcissus]

What the hell are you talking about?

Since we throwing movie ideas, I want a lighthearted injustice league movie.

Off topic here but I saw Fastastic Four. Wished I liked it more. The setting was cool and the characters were great. The plot and villains were undercooked. The post credits scene was really lame.
