Well if DC thought they were getting better they just went to nothing they changed everything and disregarded everything they said to be facts about the characters and expect people to buy this as the truth cause they say so and they disrespected the greats that made the characters cause Gunn has no clue what he’s doing good bye DC hope you enjoy being bankrupt and poor like the rest of us
U must be on crack. Now we got a simple ass Clark Kent and a Superman back in his underwear. He’s a joke again. Movie gonna do about the same numbers as Man of Steel
This young generation is ruining iconic characters from DC Comics. They don’t know wtf they are doing. I’m tired of woke azz holes thinking they know whats best for DC. I say let the true fans of DC in the brain storm room that grew up on the old Batman & Superman comics. We will have some great ideas that will stick to it’s original storyline without Tarnishing it. Woke people need to go!!
Wait…. Aren’t they one and the same?? Woke and snowflakes?? I thought they were both the people that can’t get through a day without a cup of hit chocolate and crayons and coloring books in a safe room and don’t have “cause” but yet have a “cause of the day or week” instead…?? Am I wrong here? What’s the actual difference?
None of this has anything to do with being “woke”. Funny how so many people want to use this term, but don’t have any clue to the meaning of it. Educate yourself, unless you prefer to look like a fool.
WTF does this have to do with woke culture? I’m betting all my $ there’s no minorities involved in this process at all! Why do people like you blame woke culture on societies problems and there was probably 1 or 2 people that fit your definition of whatever you call woke!
That’s not what this guy just said. He said this will essentially wipe out the rest of the universes making this one THE universe and cannon hence forth. I did hear James gunn making statements to this effect a while ago saying he wanted everything to be tied together telling one story. Comics, cartoons tv shows and movies.
Do you think maybe because the Guardians franchise was such a huge spy that maybe Gunn is an absolute Marvel loyalist and was sent in by Disney as a double agent in infiltrate and destroy the DC Universe from the inside?? Diabolical!! I like the theory!
Oh no. Please tell me this isn’t true. I dont like this one bit. And if the movies are going to portray this abomination I will not watch. Why do they have to mess with greatness?? They could have just made a new comic book of a whole new set of superheros that have all this mess ( Hello, The Boys)!!! Man I really don’t like this!
Aquaman II was the last DC movie I will likely see and it sounds like the comics are going the wrong way too now. No offense but those actors were working and had the fan base supporting them, even Affleck who a lot of people had reservations about at first.
Just dumping them wasn’t cool and I suspect I am not the only one who feels alienated by that cold, abrupt maneuver. It seems Jason Momoa is the only actor they now like or care about? Well, sorry but I’m not there anymore.
Well I have always loved the DC comics, and the movies!! But this new line of comics with the reimagined origins story’s of every one of the main heroes is a big spot in the face, to all of the DC fans, just I understand u need to refresh the storyline but not totally start from scratch is ridiculous, why would they do a complete restart,,, you don’t see Marvel doing that, it’s like Disney bought DC, and put James Gun to dumb down DCU,,, so Marvel is the only one standing. That’s my opinion. I’m so glad we still have the stuff that come before.
Instead of makes three different stories of each character , wouldn’t it make sense they all know each other and make the one movie everyone would watch . The Justice Lords movie the different versions of Justice League !
I could not agree more – James Gunn will totally destroy the DCU franchise, and the box office receipts will prove it. Sad, too, discarding the legacy of over 60 years of storyline and three of the best actors performing in the established roles. Remind me again why we had a writer’s strike? Seems all we got was remake after remake and no new story/plot ideas? Why pay for that?
This is an alternate universe different from the main DC comics universe. The heroes have different looks and are in a universe powered by Darkseid energy. This has nothing to do with James Gunn. The comics are under Jim Lee and while they share the same parent company, they are free to do different takes on the classic one’s we are familiar with. I’ll see what the first trailer looks like from Gunn plus give the absolute universe a chance before I say that they are failures.
It makes sense based upon your comment. alternate Universe. Good call. I wish I had thought of that before I wrote my comment earlier today. Good call👍
I get wanting to change the stories some. But to completely change the origin stories so far to me changes the entire character. So instead of Batman that is close to a genius and an accomplish fighter we get a gym rat on steroids.
If you wanted to change Batman to make him more down to earth why not use this absolute story but instead of the gym rat have him still be a civil engineer that worked his way up to beening the billionaire we know.
There are certain keystone actions that they need to happen for the characters to become the heroes we know
More costs cutting in Hollywood or what was Hollywood – most streamers and studios (whats left of them) make everything overseas now… cheaper labor & unfortunately in more ways than one..
These idiots trying to show how “brilliant” and in tune with the times they are are simply KILLING DC !!! SCREW EM! I’ll just wait for them to fail horribly, get fired and banned from the business, and hope it’s not too late to face the legendary brand!
J. Dunn is an absolute idiot! Guess what Hollywood, I saved my money with the last joker movie 🎥 I will do the same with ANY J Dunn scripted creation!!!!!
This Absolute stuff sounds TERRIBLE, really terrible. as a long-term fan of the comics I find the statements “it’s only impressed long-term fans” hard to believe.
That said, if it stays as an elseworld thing that’s fine… but nothing I’d ever want to see movies about
I grew up reading DC Comics. Gunn is ruining the DC Universe. Just when DC comics were getting their footing back into the Cinema, here comes people with bad visions and bad ideas to mess it up. What was created was not broken.
This all sounds like ABSOLUTE CRAP! they are ruining Legends they should be stopped. Remember if it ain’t broke don’t fix it this is just an ego trip on guns part and should not be allowed
Worst most absolute mistake ever Changing these characters in their backstories. No one will follow them. And as the satanic Hollywood trend is going everybody’s going to see them as satanic and boycott them.
James Gunn is an absolute joke. I don’t understand what idiot put him in charge of DC universe. He is ruining the characters we all know and love. Please get rid of him!!!!
“Reimagined.” So sad that Hollywood is devoid of innovation and believe that remaking, redoing, and repurposing qualifies as originality. Hooray. White ribbons and orange slices for everyone…
Hmmm, I have been reading and collecting comics for 50 years. I am ok with a little change but not a total change where the story line goes completely off scale. I do understand about make changes to styles, appearance, motive, emotions, etc., etc. I do admire people that try new ideas. The original beginnings of each of the DC characters should not be tampered with at all. Since the introduction of the very first #1 comic in 1938, that makes it six to seven generations off readers and story tellers of these amazing heroes and heroines. Please let’s not mess with the original beginnings. Thanks for reading.
This is crap I refuse to watch. I tried to watch the superman starring Robert patterson. I could not no action until the end. They made him look like a joker through most the movie. Hair a mess and eyes blacked out. He looked like drugs was done with him. I will not watch them district a good thing.
I’m a comic book collector since 1978 with comics aa old aa 1969.
I stopped watching marvel cuz how Disney wrecked them.
I guess DC Abd Warner Brothers r doing the same.

James
Well if DC thought they were getting better they just went to nothing they changed everything and disregarded everything they said to be facts about the characters and expect people to buy this as the truth cause they say so and they disrespected the greats that made the characters cause Gunn has no clue what he’s doing good bye DC hope you enjoy being bankrupt and poor like the rest of us

What does this have to do with wokeness? You seem like a massive snowflake.
Xilef
Snowflake is only ever properly used when referring to a woketard of “The American Left!”
Brian
Yes, because conservatives aren’t the biggest snowflake crybabies🙄🤡

Wait…. Aren’t they one and the same?? Woke and snowflakes??

How is a line of comic books going to trash a critical failure of a franchise?
Golem Windyflute
These characters are SO long in the tooth. They only exist because a corporation owns them.
David
This is all crap!

Let’s all welcome Andy Dick, Kathy Griffin and Dylan Mulvaney to the DCU!

Just don’t. Don’t do it. Time to get off the Multi-universe bus to nowhere. “DC universe: Actual Earth 2025”. There you go, thank me later.
This sucks
Well sounds like ass that’s for sure
GodmotherNot
It seems like DC did not learn from all the Disney FLOPS that “reimagineering: is the FASTEST WAY to piss off the existing audience!!
Aren’t we allowed to hold onto our heroes, and the great actors who played them, and avoid all this mess from current hollywood HACKS?!?
I so prefer some of the fan films on youtube to what this disaster seems to be headed….
Shawn Gabriel
Cavill and Gadot were perfect in their respective roles. anyone else won’t be as good.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. They was born for these roles. I’m truly going to miss them.
Deb
Awful! Just awful!
Bonnie Ham Adams
This is disgusting. James Gunn ruins anything he touches! This is f-ing bulls–t!
Brad
I won’t bother spending money on this crap. He should walk away before he destroys the legacy that are these characters.

Hey all. It could be about an “Alternate Universe” saga?

Damn James Gunn. I’ll never support his work and I hope it flops.

This is crap I refuse to watch. I tried to watch the superman starring Robert patterson. I could not no action until the end. They made him look like a joker through most the movie.

So basically, replace the characters and backgrounds of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman with new characters with the same names.
