So James Gunn is now on record as having said that NOTHING is new DCU Canon until the CREATURE COMMANDOS show drops...this includes PEACEMAKER S1 which is now non-Canon, and that PEACEMAKER S2 will apparently actually address the reboot of reality...

This is also the first I've heard of BLUE BEETLE not being part of the new DCU...but after it's pretty dismal bow at the box office I can see why they've changed tune. And considering that for MONTHS both the studio side and Gal Gadot all swore that her version of Wonder Woman was staying part of the new DCU....but that's since been changed and we are getting a whole new Justice League with new actors joining the SUPERMAN: LEGACY casting of New Clark/Superman (David Cornswet), Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl), Nathan Fillion (Green Lantern [Guy Gardner version]), Edi Gathegi (Mister Terrific), and Anthony Carrigan (Metamorpho)...

Who are any of these people besides Nathan Fillion and Anthony Carrigan? I guess they'll save on actors pay.
That Merced girl looks like she should still be in primary school ...

I mean Rachel Brosnahan was on a hit award-winning show as its lead for multiple seasons...And Merced was Dora in the live action Dora the Explorer movie...Edi Gathegi's claim to fame is the Twilight movies....maybe it's just that you're old Somb...LOL

We know I'm old, duh, but in my defence that Maisel show just looked ... not my bag.
Plus I'm a bit old for Dora. The boy watched it when it came out though. He thought it wasn't crap, and that's high praise from him.
I remain proudly untainted by anything Twishite-related.

You also need to remember that almost every other big Hollywood name has already been snapped up by Marvel so pickings are slimmer...

One day i want to read the contracts that expressly forbid actors in MCU movies from appearing in DC movies, because they must be some Ten Commandments bolts from above and to the Hells ye shall go level forbiddance.

On this line of thinking, I WISH I'd been able to see the Disney/Marvel offices the day after they fired Gunn from GOTG3/MCU over those old joke tweets and like the NEXT day DC snapped him up to do SUICIDE SQUAD...only for Dis/MCU to come to their senses and rehire him for GOTG3 (arguably his Marvel Magnum Opus and one of the only big moneymakers of Phase 4)...but the ties had already been made at DC and he becomes their Kevin Feige going fwd...like those backdoor meetings must have been INSANE. Talk about handing one of your best creative talents to the other team...If DC rises under Gunn and the MCU can never get back it's pre-ENDGAME mojo and flags...they will have only themselves to blame for jerking their knees over 15 year old tweets...LOL. Hilarity.

But Isabela Merced is in a Marvel thing -- she's gonna be in Madame Web.

Ah. That's Sony though. They still own the Spidey-stuff...they just loan Spider-man himself out to Marvel for a cut, Madame Web is all Sony.

Oh you're right, I thought it was part of the Disney+ slate.

[Tsundoku]

So I took the boy to see Aquaman 2. Hmmm, pretty standard stuff. Best part was the interaction between the brothers. Everything else was a bit meh.

The final bad guys looked like they had the same architect and makeup as whomever did Minas Morgul/Mordor and Sauron/Army of the dead in LOTR though.

Being generous with six "Eeeeeeeeeeevil" tridents out of ten though.

Finally saw The Flash as it came to Netflix today.

It was ... nowhere near as crap as I had been led to believe. Even that irritating shit Ezra Miller wasn't as bad as I was expecting.

It was a lot more mature than I was expecting too, even with all the goofing around and slapstick. I'm sure someone can argue all the logic and pseudoscience and lore they want, but it was cool by me.
Some sweet, sweet cameos. Michael Keaton fucking rocks.
I liked that Sasha Calle in her role too.

I'm going to give it an easy seven truly fucked up timelines out of ten.

Holy...SHIT. I can't get the gooseflesh on my arms to stay down...

Can't we just let superman die?
Along with every other franchise they keep rebooting

[worry]

That's more like it.

In fairness a trailer that doesn't give much away
Beyond the fact that there will be entirely too much going on villain wise

To be fair the villain isn't even shown in the trailer.

It's Angela Spica/The Engineer from Warren Ellis's The Authority.

I doubt Lex is going to be much more than a thorn in Clark's side in this.

Everyone else appears to be JLI (Hawkgirl, Dickhead Green Lantern Guy Gardener, Mr. Terrific, ect.)

[polishgenius]

Wait, really? That makes it even more interesting tbqh because the Engineer isn't a villain, although you can certainly see how an Authority member would clash with Supes. Presumably there'll be a rivalry and then that'll feed in to the Authority movie.



Anyway, looks like exactly the Superman I want. My one worry is that there might be too much going on, but Gunn has obviously handled big casts before so...

I think this is exactly the take. That the actions of someone on a morally suspect team like The Authority would very much clash with Superman's philosophies. I also expect this is more Angela injecting herself without understanding the full ramifications of that...

I also expect that it's possible that Lex is manipulating her somehow and she isn';t on the team yet...which would then LEAD her to the Authority...like she can't join the JLI....but gets nabbed by The Authority? which COULD mean a brief Jenny Sparks cameo?

María Gabriela de Faría is playing her.

For me Gunn has 4 films in his recent resume that were all varying levels of excellent, so I'm definitely leaning towards this being good.
