โI grew up on DC Comics, moral tales where the bad guys got their comeuppance. To me the gory panels or grotesque stuff just made me chuckle.โ

Exactly this.
Because Gunn was operating in the version of the Detective Comics Universe that Zack Snyder built.
The Suicide Squad is the most famous example of this.
Replying to @MichaelCozzi9
Putting Shazam 2, Flash etc. under Gunn is bullshit, yes he tweaked them in post production but that hardly means they're his movies (personally I think they're underrated tho)
Weโre thrilled to welcome Jeremy to DC Studios! As part of the founding team behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he helped define the modern superhero movie and powered some of the biggest, most beloved comic book adaptations of our time. We canโt wait to see the stories heโll bring to life, and how heโll help build the future of DC for fans everywhere.
James and Peter began a new era for DC Studios, guiding it through a major transformation and bringing audiences fresh chapters of beloved stories, including Superman, Lanterns and Creature Commandos. Weโre grateful for the passion and care they brought to this work, and for the lasting mark theyโve left on DC.

How come Skydance believes that movies like Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Amongst Thieves and The Breadwinner have had more appeal amongst families outside of Hollywood than Superman did in 2025 and 2026?
New DC Studios boss Jeremy Latcham says his approach to superhero movies is to consider whether they would appeal to regular families outside Hollywood.
โI donโt know if my grandma would like thatโ became a guiding principle during his time at Marvel Studios.

The quickest way to end Russiaโs war is to hold the positions and move to discussions. What is very important here is that we decided: stop where we are, itโs a ceasefire, and we go to the diplomatic track. It can last one month, two months, or one year. Or it can last longer than we expect today. But we end the hot stage and people stop dying. When you hold, you speak about the contact line, slow down the pace of mobilization; the economy begins to work. You are in discussions. Dialogue is better than guns. That's why the best way to end this war is to exchange guns for words.
Of course, you will have thousands of questions. How to stop? Where to stand? What is the mandate of the monitoring mission? What is demilitarized? What does it mean? What do we need for this? Europeans. Reconstruction. Where to get the money? Thousands of questions, but this is the format to stop the war โ ceasefire. If Putin doesn't want a ceasefire and says, โNo, I want a long plan, with different questions, both difficult, sensitive, and not. And then, when we sign this long plan, we will stop the war,โ it simply means he doesn't want to stop the war.
From an interview with DR Nyheder. (3/3)
James Gunn did not direct Supergirl.
Also Zack Snyder did not direct Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, or Aquaman.
"Why did they fire James gunn?"
well:-
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 2023 films shown under Gunn's photo (Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash, Blue Beetle, Aquaman 2) were holdovers from the previous DC leadership under Walter Hamada; Gunn and Safran were named DC Studios co-CEOs in Oct 2022, after those films were already in the pipeline. syfy.com/syfy-wire/snydโฆ wbd.com/james-gunn-andโฆ
Wonder Woman should be with whoever she wants to be as a character. Personally I prefer her with women, but thatโs just my opinion.

If a male creator did the same thing, they'd call it cool. What a bunch of hypocritical liars. And yes, I'll take this personally because my Charlie has her flaws, but she doesn't deserve this level of hate.

People trying to mock Viv for this as if other creators don't also do the same shit
And don't come at me with the "at least they do it better" bullshit because we all know your asses are LYING ๐
Iโm sorry, but Skydance is lying.
If Superman 2025 did not have a massive pop culture impact, then why did Skydance showcase footage of Superman 2025 in its trailer advertising itself as a company?
One of the reasons Skydance replaced James Gunn and Peter Safran as the heads of DC Studios had to do with box office.
โข โSupergirlโ was a massive bomb this year.
โข โSupermanโs $618M box office was not impressive to Skydance either, as the film lacked โpop culture impactโ in their eyes.

Gunn was celebrating Clayfaceโs success with its budget and was on the process of writing his third Superman movie before getting this news.
This goes beyond superhero movies. Filmakers in general are suffering from right-wing billionaires trying to limit artistic expression.
James Gunn and Peter Safran found out that they were no longer going to be running DC Studios this past Friday.
Skydance co-CEOs David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz broke the news to them in person.

Series Charlie Morningstar is a better written character than Pilot Charlie Morningstar.

"Vivienne Medrano says she put a lot of herself into Charlie" yeah that's the fucking problem, and why the character is now just insufferable and unfathomably stupid at times. Pilot Charlie >>> series Charlie.

To me films like superman and first steps show how you can give the characters backstory without having to make an origin, could be a montage, or a flashback to show the clay origin
