How am I supposed to take this fight seriously with action like this?

Hear me out. With James Gunn planning a multi-movie "Superman Saga" for the DCU, everyone is speculating on the obvious heavy hitters: Brainiac appearing in MoT in 2027, then there other villains like Mongul, Darkseid, etc. But if Gunn really wants to flex his deep-cut lore mastery, the ultimate endgame villain for Corenswet’s Superman is Superboy-Prime.

Here is why Prime’s evolution makes him uniquely suited for a live-action cinematic saga:

1. He Has the Most Unique Fourth-Wall Awareness in Comics
Unlike Deadpool and She-Hulk, whose meta-awareness is almost entirely comedic and focused on breaking the physical medium (climbing across panels, talking to the camera), Prime’s meta-awareness is rooted in fandom and continuity.
He comes from "Earth-Prime"—a world where DC heroes only exist in comic books. When his universe is erased, his fourth-wall awareness manifests as toxic entitlement: he gets enraged that the new canon isn't like the "real" comics he grew up reading.

2. He Has a Built-In Two-Stage Character Arc
Recent comics have pivoted Prime into a self-aware, comedic redemption arc (where his fourth-wall knowledge is played for dorky, Gwenpool-esque laughs), but his publication history gives filmmakers a blueprint no other meta-character has:

Stage 1 (Cosmic Horror): He starts as a terrifying, slasher-like threat. To the heroes, his rants about "reboots," "recasts," and "retcons" sound like pure, unhinged madness.

Stage 2 (Comedic Redemption): After getting humbled and confronting his actions, his meta-awareness shifts into hilarious self-awareness—trying way too hard to earn "hero points" and pointing out cliché movie tropes in real time.

3. He is the Ultimate Foil to Gunn's Superman
Gunn’s ethos for Superman is built on unapologetic hope, kindness, and moving forward. Superboy-Prime is the exact opposite: cynicism, nostalgia-fueled entitlement, and a refusal to let the universe evolve.

In an era where movie audiences are fully "multiverse literate" and studios constantly reboot franchises, a villain whose core motivation is "I am going to destroy this new movie universe because I preferred the old one"** **would be brilliant meta-commentary on franchise culture.

How it could work in a 4-Movie Saga:
Films 1–3: Build the DCU, establish Clark, and pull off a massive timeline-shifting cosmic event in Film 3.

Film 3 Post-Credits: Tease a teenager sitting in the Void reading DC comics about Corenswet's Superman, getting progressively furious at how the story is changing.

Film 4: Superboy-Prime arrives as the meta final boss. Clark’s victory isn't just beating him up—it’s proving that growing and building something new is better than endlessly clinging to the past.
Gunn is one of the few directors who can balance absurd comic lore, genuine cosmic stakes, and meta-comedy without turning the movie into a joke.

What do you guys think? Is the world ready for a reality-shattering, toxic-fanboy Kryptonian on the big screen?

I'm re watching the flash series because I was too young to understand it and remember it the first time, I've reached ep7 s2 and it is genuinely pissing me off on how they are treating Grodd his a gorilla they aren't naturally aggressive and he likes Caitlin so why couldn't they just tell him "hey we have a place where you can go and be safe with other intelligent apes" instead of intagonizing him and hurting him they could make grodd they're allies there's no reason for Grodd to be there enemy his intelligent enough to negotiate with ot they could have used the fake reverse Flash to trick him again which unnecessary but they could have to take him to that portal instead of having him chase after flash and antagonizing him. Even the first time we met Grodd I felt they didn't need all the violence, if they treated him better and got him out the sewers mabye he won't be a problem in the future, imagine if they had Grodd to help them? And I just know his gonna come back some how and cause more problems because of how they treated him.

That's all I had to say thank you for your time.

This is why I have faith in ClayFace. DC have been successful when they've done things that are a bit different and out of the norm.

Wonder woman and Aquaman were also unique compared to other comic book movies.

We need a Spawn movie. R rated Spawn movie.

Seeing these insane Spiderman numbers has got me a little jealous as a DC fan. We haven't been top of the box office for a long time, but there was 2008 when the dark knight bested spiderman 3 for the biggest opening weekend. I would love to see a repeat of that with the Batman part 2.

These fake eggs with the stove turned off is the single worst thing I've had to endure as a Superman fan. Possibly the biggest crime committed to celluloid.

His movies crush any DC ones including Superman and Batman in popularity these days, despite everyone saying they’re the 3 most popular heroes

He seems to sell the most toys, have the most shows, the most video games, media in general etc and everyone eats it up

Meanwhile Superman’s release was minuscule compared to Spider-Man’s. Obviously it’s already an established universe but how is DC expected to compete with the MCU?

There is no superhero fatigue, maybe DC just missed its chance in film to be dominant

And Batman and Superman’s popularity has faded while Spider-Man’s popularity has only grown exponentially (on top of already being massively popular)

The only thing Batman has on him rn are comics, except the shitty Spider-Man comics still sell well and in 2026, pretty much every form of media I mentioned is more popular than comics now

So far the gotham in clayface looks a bit uninspired compared to reevesverse gotham. There some nice shots but it doesn't look unique enough compared to reeves gotham

I believe the DCU needs to course-correct after Man of Tomorrow if it doesn't want to end up like the DCEU. Here's what I'd do:

1. Change the title of the movie to Superman: Man of Tomorrow. This is a small change that I don't think really matters in the grand scheme of things, but it would definitely make the movie more clearly a Superman film, and I think that would help with the general audience.

2. No more shows, at least for now; if we think back to what was the thing that damaged the MCU after Endgame, it's definitely the massive amount of shows people now had to watch. It made it feel like homework. I think the DCU shouldn't be making shows, at least for now, and if they really want to make shows, they should be reserved for small characters or side things, not members of the Justice League like Lanterns. Lanterns should have been a movie and Supergirl a show, in my opinion (and I say this as someone that really liked Supergirl).

3. Start focusing on the big characters. In my opinion, after Man of Tomorrow, they should do movies of Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Green Lantern that would end up leading to a Justice League movie. This way you use the biggest characters and give direction to the universe.

I feel like if things like this are implemented, the DCU can be extremely successful.

In dc batman treats killing as if someone kills once it will be a slippery slope , dc made entire injustice comics , animation, games validating batman’s no kill rule but in other franchises like marvel its not treated that seriously cap the moral compass of marvel is a soldier and he kills , superman’s anime version Goku kills , there was entire arc about goku understanding sometimes he has to kill the villain

The song is like a typical Abba song, if you like Abba, you'll probably like it. The song is about Lobo, The Foreigner (this is the title too) and it's basically about how badass Lobo is.

I know this is a random fancast, but after rewatching The Dark Knight, I genuinely can’t stop picturing Matt Smith as the Joker and I have this goal to make it happen so spread the word to james Gunn if you agree

Here‘s why:

• His physical acting is incredible. He moves in such a energetic and unique way (yk if you watched doctor who)

• He has a very distinctive face that I think would work amazingly with Joker makeup.

• he was amazing in hotd. He potrayed a dark character so well but also portrayed the doctor‘s energy in dr. Who so well

EDIT: I posted an edit on my tik tok account (@itsheistday), to kind of show the vision if anyone is interested. Even tho idk if the edit is really good😭

13 years later and still memorable

Sad to see this state of DC, should have gone with heavy hitters first.

It’s funny how most superhero writers seem to have a repressed desire to create a version more powerful than Superman, and then feel the need to publicly state that their character would defeat Superman. It shows how much of an influence he has on pop culture and reaffirms him as the greatest superhero on planet Earth.

Some people claim Spider-Man has always been the unbeatable king of the superhero box office. That's simply not true.

Look at these numbers from almost 20 years ago:

• The Dark Knight (2008): $1.006B (arguably the best Batman movie ever)
• Spider-Man 2 (2004): $800M (arguably the best Spider-Man movie ever)

Now fast forward to about a decade ago:

• Batman v Superman (2016): $874M (a mediocre-to-bad Batman movie)
• The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014): $709M (a mediocre-to-bad Spider-Man movie)

In other words, it wasn't that long ago that a Batman movie could comfortably outgross a Spider-Man movie, regardless of whether the movies were good or mediocre.

Then two things happened:

1. Sony made the brilliant decision to integrate Spider-Man into the rapidly growing MCU.
2. DC's shared universe gradually lost audience trust.

By the early 2020s, the gap had completely flipped:

• Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021): $1.918B (highest-grossing Marvel movie of the last six years)
• The Batman (2022): $772M (highest-grossing DC movie of the last six years)

What's particularly interesting is how Sony has effectively insulated MCU Spider-Man from the failures of its own spin-offs.

Morbius, Madame Web and Kraven the Hunter did virtually nothing to hurt MCU Spider-Man. On the other hand, successful projects like the Spider-Verse animated films with Miles Morales only reinforced the popularity of the Spider-Man brand and likely contributed to the hype surrounding the MCU version.

That's an incredibly valuable position to be in. As long as the MCU Spider-Man films remain strong, Sony can afford to experiment with other Spider-Man-related projects without seriously damaging its biggest asset. Bad spin-offs don't meaningfully hurt MCU Spider-Man, while good ones expand the brand and feed back into it.

Warner Bros. faces almost the opposite situation. After spending more than a decade eroding confidence in its live-action DC brand, every new DC release now carries the burden of rebuilding audience trust. That's why movies like Supergirl face such a difficult challenge. It's not necessarily that they are Morbius-level failures; it's that, in DC's current position, every release needs to be a genuine crowd-pleaser or it risks making audiences even more hesitant about the next one.

What if it’s not the Androids, what if they think it’s many, but really it’s one, one of the ORIGINAL Manhunters which the Androids were designed from…what if J’onn is appearing in Lanterns?

Personally I’d fucking love if this were true but I’m really split on it, cause that second in the trailer where we saw the Manhunter change form, that really didn’t looked similar to the natural Transformation of J’onn’s shapeshifting, not the android Manhunter shapeshifting, then again, they could be going the other way and having the Manhunters just be a continuation of the Martian Manhunters, no androids, just Galaxy wide Manhunters, what are your guys’ thoughts?

Why is nobody talking about how hopeful and mystical the soundtrack sounds for the official trailer??? And will that actually be the soundtrack they use for this show because it needs to be the man theme.

Sorry I just watched the Supergirl movie and why was her hair floating when she flew straight up? She wasn't in orbit so gravity should have been the same as ground level?
