James Gunn was supposed to save DC. Instead, look at the mess.
1. His first DC film, The Suicide Squad, grossed just $168M worldwide against a reported $185M budget.
2.He announced his new DCU slate while Shazam! 2, Blue Beetle, Aquaman 2 and other DCEU projects were still awaiting release, creating uncertainty about the franchise's future.
3.Superman & Lois was ended partly because Warner Bros. didn't want competing Superman projects, according to the CW's president.
4.His Superman made $618M worldwide, failing to surpass Man of Steel's roughly $668M worldwide gross.
5.Supergirl grossed just $126M worldwide, while Clayface opened to weak numbers.
6.And now, years into the reboot, Gunn is launching podcasts to clarify what's canon and what's not.
Hope @davidellison and @ParamountPics looking at this mess closely.

i don't understand why anyone is rooting for rebel moon to fail, their pretty good movies that pushes the boundaries of the genre in ways we rarely see
yeah root for the r-rated space operas to fail so we only get the same corporate/formulaic sci-fi films going forward...?

I wrote a new piece about women’s rights and whether or not I want trans people dead. (Spoiler: I don’t)👇

Calling Riley Gaines ugly doesn’t make Hunter Schafer any less male btw

For those feigning concern about me being “punished” by Warner Bros., I haven’t been to a WB screening in nearly five years. I live 3 hours away from London, and the trip costs at least £150. No review is worth that much. So yeah, I don’t give a fuck. Just to clear that up. 👍🏻
#Clayface is uninspired and unoriginal. Outside of a great nightclub sequence, it’s neither a good horror movie (body horror is ruined by bad VFX) nor a good comic book movie (Gotham has no personality). Tom Rhys Harries is great, but that’s about it. Even Clayface looks bad. 😭

Let @sydney_sweeney show up to the gym dressed in the clothes he was talking about…
And see how quickly these same “outraged” women start agreeing with @Shanemgillis.
It would make your head spin.

I've been going to gyms in Ireland on and off for 15 years. There are far more women in gyms now, and it's not even close.
Yes, they've gone from dressing sensibly to dressing in gym bikinis and full face make-up (like whores). It's not misogyny to describe a real phenomenon.

good to know that official DC employees want me dead because I don't like a show they made
One of the hosts of DC’s official podcast is going viral for what he said about Lanterns critics.
Coy Jandreau, who co-hosts DC Studios Showcase: The Official Podcast, went off during a Reel Rejects discussion about the backlash to the finale.
“They can choke on their own tongues, dude.”
Then he went further:
“They’re not worth living and we’re overpopulated.”
Jandreau also called people online “embarrassments to carbon” and said there are “a lot of people that just shouldn’t… be.”
At another point, he joked about whether he would save someone from drowning if he thought they were an idiot.
"Maybe."
The comments came while he and Greg Alba were responding to people attacking Alba over his take on Hal Jordan and the Lanterns finale.
The clip is now spreading across X, with one viral post asking whether an official DC podcast host just said he wants Lanterns trolls dead.
This comes while the Lanterns backlash is still rolling, the show has the lowest Rotten Tomatoes fan score of any James Gunn DC project, and Clayface is already facing boycott calls.
CBN has reached out to HBO Max, DC Studios, and Skydance for comment.

The amount of stuff wrong with #Lanterns is impossible to even quantify. It wasn’t just the finale. Probably the worst “superhero” show ever made.
@davidellison
DC veteran Grant Morrison reviewed Lanterns, and they had more than a few criticisms of its "morally and legally incoherent" finale. bit.ly/4yM1d2a

I did not mind her being voted off because I found the "they" business needlessly distracting when the speaker was referring to what was very plainly a woman.
It was stupid and I hate stupidity.
It gets my goat.
It’s a shame Bella Ramsey has left The Celebrity Traitors so early in the series. There’s no doubt The Last of Us star is a charismatic talent.
But it’s telling that the BBC show uses absurd and grammatically baffling they/them pronouns throughout when referring to Ramsey, even though she explicitly said back in 2023 that it was impossible to misgender her, and that people should simply use whichever pronouns they felt appropriate.
It’s yet another reminder that when it comes to gender ideology, the BBC fails in its duty to apply due impartiality.

EVERY time DC tries to go with the comedy poppy "gee shucks" tone it fails. Reeve got so pissed with the tone of his Superman movies he tried to make his own only for the studio to give him zero budget to do it, Schumacher basically turned it into Batman 66 and killed the franchise for years, Whatever Johns and Hamada did with DC killed the entire universe and now we have James Gunn films flopping on their arse. Meanwhile, Tim Burton's dark Batman had the world in a grasp when Batman 89 came out, Nolan had 2 billion dollar Batman movies, Snyder's Batman was in an $873m grossing epic, Joker cleared a billion and even Reeves Batman, as much as I disliked it was one of the only recent performers for DC. You only have to look at the evidence to see the general audience prefer DC and especially Batman to be dark.
Ben Affleck comments on DC and whether or not comic book movies should be family friendly:
“It seems to be an ongoing question, and I don’t know the answer: Do you go all the way to a hard-R rating like ‘Joker’? Or do it like Marvel, which does something broad, unless you’re talking about ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’?
The interesting thing with the DC characters [comes down] to the legacy of Frank Miller. There seems to be more tension between, ‘Are we doing the grown-up version or the one that’s open to kids?’ There’s a risk of being a feathered fish.”

For the women wondering how men treat fellow men convicted of child murder 👇👇. They don't wear blue, carry placards in protest and blame mental health.
🚨BREAKING: Convicted child killer Kyle Bevan was brutally stabbed more than 30 times by fellow inmates in a savage 5-minute prison attack at HMP Wakefield — and was left for dead.
Bevan was serving a life sentence for the horrific 2020 murder of two-year-old Lola James, whom he subjected to a savage assault causing catastrophic brain injuries and over 100 wounds.
The brutal prison attack is being seen by many as raw "prison justice" for his crimes against an innocent toddler.
