    If you ask me, James' advice needs to apply to the DC comic book universe too. DC nowadays just runs things into the ground and makes us all weary of how often they hit dry wells (Dark, depressing Batman, All Harley Quinn all the time, etc. ). How long until we see a mini-series prequel of Aunt Harriet starts her menstrual cycle? Stop all the Reboots! Rather than Absolutes, how about instead fixing the original universes? DC is a grab bag of chaos ideas and none of them stand a chance of working because the roots of the company are so shredded.

    This DCU Batman has to be fantastical. He needs a blue and grey suit. His villains need to be Clayface, Manbat, Mad Hatter, etc. He must have a Robin (apparently it’s Damian). The Bat Family should already be established and alive throughout Gotham. We need that so bad. I cannot do grounded and gritty Batman anymore. Death stroke would be incredible like you mentioned. I also think the first “big bad” of this universe should be Brainiac

    I agree with most of what you say, especially about already having established heroes and villains instead of wasting time with origins. I want to see cosmic stuff so much but agree it must be introduced slowly. Lobo is my favorite character but he has always been best as a side character, seeing him pop up in Justice League and Mr. Miracle in the early '90s was so exciting when I was a kid.

    I think we are all waiting for Superman to become that light and beacon of hope we all remember Superman to be and not just the brooding muscle who comes in to beat down the bad guy that nobody else can handle. Plus we definitely need a serious Flash and not the comic relief one. Definitely think you’re right on about not worrying about tying in previous actors takes on characters and start fresh and start with the basics. Hope someone high up in the DCU listens to your advice.

    I very much agree with this list. Things were just too dark and brooding on the DC side, especially for Superman so sticking with what works as far as the Reeves superman. Key to remember that Tim Burton's Batman was dark and gothic, not dark and brooding which is important to really capture the character. Where I do think DC really shines is with it's villains. MCU has always had a villain problem but I hope JG embraces what he has in the rogue's gallery for all these DC characters.

    You are very correct about Superman. Superman should be a beacon of light. Whenever he is in a scene the scene should not be muted colors. This I believe was the biggest error that was made in the DCU. The only dark characters should be Batman and darker villains. Even some of the villains in the DCU are very colorful and flamboyant. Lex Luthor doesn't sulk around in the dark. He is forefront and a force in the business world. He's that guy you know has done some shady stuff but he does it just above the law. I agree about staying away from the multiverse and I will add to that time travel. Both of those are too complex for the general audience. They also paint you in a corner when building a multi year/grand superhero opera.

    I fully agree nearly across the board. Ignoring all other universes is key. Burn them to the ground and make it clear that the Gunn-verse won't be dipping into those waters when it suits them 20 years from now, à la MCU-FOX-Sony shared universes. But I don't think they'll necessarily do that. Nostalgia is almost a license to print money so if they think pulling in Cavill and Gadot etc in 10-15 years from now would make for a big smash movie, they're going to (unfortunately) do it.
    I also fully agree on Superman - get him right. Bright, hopeful, optimistic. It can't be this hard.
    I also never liked the multiverse element of comic books I think it enables lazy storytelling that too often sabotages earlier choices. I'd stay away from that for as long as possible, and ideally forever. I'm fine with Elseworlds stories being told, but they need to be branded as such, and made clear that they will not ever cross over into the "main" universe.
    Another great video. Thanks, James.

    I was saying it for a while the new DCU should have had already established things, it looks like that's semi the case with Superman with all the hero cameos lined up, but with the casting specifically going younger I think we are getting first hero vibes. A proper Flash vs Grodd movie would be big box office, I would do a Green Arrow and Green Lantern team up movie, so each character can benefit GA grounds Green Lantern so we don't cosmic and GL gives a shine to a less widely known character to the casual audience. Finally, i would shamelessly steal the formula of the 1st phase of the MCU and build the Justice League movie by movie instead of going from Batman v Superman straight to the Justice League

    It also is starting to feel like a connected universe is only as strong as its weakest link, if that makes sense. If you have some really bad movies and tv shows, it is hard to disconnect them, and the whole thing starts to get negatively affected

    I agree with most of what you said. The only 2 things I disagree with are introducing the full rogue galleries for Batman and the Flash. It would be very difficult to flesh them out if you're not spending time with each one. But I could be wrong. I don't read much of either hero so I don't know if they could be fleshed out quickly and efficiently.
    The other thing: DC isn't going to spend huge sums of money on shows. From a dan standpoint, it'd be great. From a business standpoint, it's a huge gamble with little to win. Shows don't earn nearly as much as movies. Marvel gets away with it because they earn so much already that they have a cushion in case a project doesn't do too well.
    I'd love to see a time when DC and Marvel were true equals again though. If I was working at WB, I'd hire you

I would push more on the hope aspect and build off that to unity. I think to go nationalistic would ring hollow especially because we're so divided right now. It could make it feel like propaganda which isn't where we should be at now on the other end. I just think you have to cater to what each character is and find a good mix to allow each character into other worlds, without ripping off the MCU which is a tough task.

      I respectfully disagree. We need that authentic midwestern charm from Clark. Without it, it’s just not Superman. A true Superman director and fan of the material will know this and won’t be afraid to show it

      I also VERY much disagree with catering rn. People are tired of characters being written to cater to new political correct tropes and has become ridiculous. Do NOT cater. Do NOT succumb. Do NOT change the fundamentals of these 80-year old IPs only to have everyone hate how it turned out anyway lol

      @ its not about that. Superman always symbolized hope and that’s the bottom line of that character. The rest are fluid and can change to reflect the new generations. Unfortunately right now, we’re too divided to go that route, at least to me. This isn’t 80 years ago. It’s like people complain about forced diversity, that would be like forced patriotism. The other half of the audience would lose interest or turn on it much like the other half doesn’t like the self reflection cynical version. I think a good Superman rendition that’s positive can bring unity which is what we need first. Superman should be for everyone. you can’t have patriotism without the unity anyway. But you do you, I just think it’s the flip side of the same coin. But it doesn’t even matter what we think, Gunn is going to do it his way. He’s got other problems….Snyder fans. And they love cynical and dark Superman

      @ no one is saying take that away from him. I actually like Superman from Superman and Lois. That’s closer to what they should be doing with the Midwest flare. Literally in Smallville and it’s great

    Disagree. Swamp Thing is the character I most want to see done proper on the big screen. Etrigan The Demon and Deadman are amazing characters. We’ve seen Batman and Superman a million times. Let’s get a Justice League Dark.

      Nowhere in this video did I say don’t do a swamp thing haha. He’s my favorite! Ironically we actually just got a near-perfect swamp thing show 4 years ago. And yet like 18 people watched it 😢😢😢

    Please no Superman is evil storylines nor Batman is evil(he kind of was in BVS). I know Owlman is awesome but he pretty much Lex Luther and no Batman who Laughs ever. I mean they have a blue print of what works in the Justice League Animated series. I want Lego Batman haha not as silly but the I am Batman song that he just unstoppable and has so much random stuff he pulls out of a hat to win. I want him to be paranoid but not this depressed monk he has been for all his movies. Dude has like 8 kids, best friend with Superman and is hot billionaire who smashes models. Please give us Nightwing and make him awesome. I can't believe we had 2 Aquaman movies before a Nightwing one or he was even given a cameo. That to me was the most unforgivable aspect of BVS. No matter what Bruce did if Nightwing existed(think he did since the lego batman director was going to do a movie) that he wouldn't come to Gotham to help.

    I respecfully disagree DC should just do standalone movies. Their best movies so far have been when not focused as tie-ins to a shared universe.

    I'm tired of Lex Luthor and the Joker - all the different incarnations. Have LexCorp in the background of a Superman movie, but use a different villain, maybe Parasite. Same with Batman, you could have references to the Joker, but I don't even want a cameo. I'd like to see a version of Hush. Bring Barry Allen back to his core, I skilled forensic scientist. Not a goofball. And, sorry, Deathstroke is, and always will be, a Teen Titans villain. No Teen Titans, no Deathstroke.

      @MintHunterComics  Місяць тому +1

      D and C-tier characters have to EARN a spotlight. Meaning if these TV shows and movies make an unkown character popular THEN you can greenlight it. But not before. Less gambling

    I agree with just about all of your points. However, I think Superman will have to eventually move past the "American way" like in the comics. He doesn't always work with our country in his actions, and he should be a beacon of hope for everyone. And I really love what you said about TV, but I also want them to take a cue from Marvel and do some shows based on characters who might not be as well known. Deadman, Gentleman Ghost, Jonah Hex, hell, even a show about the Haunted Tank. One season, 6 episodes, these could work.

    So you don’t really have a well thought out plan?! I figured you would do this video one day since you love DC so much.
    I hope the new DCU is an improvement over the last phase.
