Amph Waiting For Superman: Gunnverse DCU/Elseworlds

WWII probably I'm guessing although I'm sure there's moden day Sgt. Rock

 

Requesting a thread name change to "Sgt. Rock is Going to Help Me."

 

I'm sure the titles will Swap eventually. Heck when the Superman trailer hits probably like really soon. Any WB movies it could be tagged to on December?

 

I vaguely recall Sgt Rock comics from the late 70s. How is a live-action film going to look different from a typical WW2 action movie?

 

I think that's a big issue here. I've read some Sg.Rock, enjoyed it well enough but it seems very much swimming in what are now pretty common WW2 story tropes. I think it MAY have stood out a bit more 40 years ago. I think if the audience is there for random WW2 movie than could get a bit of a crowd but I really don't find something unique vs other similar movies in the material. And any overt DCU connections would probably hurt the source material not benefit it (at least from a story perspective).

 

It's now being reported as mid-December, and since Superman the Movie -- of which we know Gunn is a fan -- released on Dec. 15th, well that's a good guess...

 

If this actually gets made, I will eat my hat.

 

I think we are definitely getting Supergirl film due to production after that I say it is up to how Superman does

 

****, man, I was a big fan of those Sgt. Rock comics back in the day.

 

Last I heard, Kara is in the upcoming film and then will be in her own solo film. They have already cast other roles in her film.

 

I see Circle from Anya Chalotra is our first main villain, nice. Rumor is she could cameo in the Superman movie.

 

Agreed, really enjoying it so far. It feels like a nice bridge between the DCEU and DCU, as well.

 

Blue Beetle was easily the best of the last four 2023 DCU (or whatever it's called) movies. It was so much fun, and it's too bad it underperformed because I'd love to see more

 

There were reports going around a few months back that the new DCU would have an animated series with the cast from the movie reprising their roles. Gunn said that even with the reboot, he wanted to keep Xolo Maridueña around as Blue Beetle. So we might very well get more!

 

It's confirmed in theory:

I wouldn't call Blue Beetle terrible when it comes to DC movies when Catwoman and Joker Sings exist

 

Joker Sings hitting Max in the US and Crave in Canada on December 13 for those who want to experience the torture (well if they cut out the songs it would be shorter and better, so now you can fast forward those parts!)

 

Creature Commandos airs Friday at 11pm on Adult Swim Canada, just saw the opening scene, pretty awesome
