unconsciously lame move almost certainly driven by Ellison’s politics, happy we got Superman and Man of Tomorrow before the chuds took over tho
James Gunn and Peter Safran will no longer run DC Studios.
Jeremy Latcham, who previously served as a producer at Marvel Studios, is taking over DC.

This is a direct consequence of allowing evilmaxxing Larry Ellison to buy Warner Brothers. Stop letting the Epstein-class have their way!
All efforts MUST be taken to frustrate their desires no matter how insignificant it may seem
James Gunn has shared a statement following his exit as head of DC Studios:
“So, yes, I will miss the people around me, and I will miss being the co-caretaker of these great characters, but I'm also incredibly relieved and excited to get back to pure filmmaking.
That's not to say Peter and I are immediately done with DC or superheroes. We have Man of Tomorrow out this summer. And we've just been engaged on another DC project which I'm writing, and we'll see where it goes after that. And, of course, the characters we set up will live on.
Thank you so very, very much for embracing the characters and stories we've put on screen.”

i'm so tired of the idea that art is only successful if it's been sanded down enough to appeal to literally everybody. sometimes your grandma isn't going to like a film and that's actually fine
New DC Studios boss Jeremy Latcham revealed to the Christian Broadcasting Network that he used to ask himself whether his grandmother would enjoy the Marvel movies he was developing
“I'd always say, I don’t know if my grandma would like that"
When her church drew parallels between ‘Iron Man’ and redemption during a sermon, he knew the film was connecting with audiences

James Gunn was human. The rest coming in now are just money hungry bots coming in to just make as many rushed movies per year possible.
These studio mergers the past years have been a disaster.
The future of Matt Reeves’ ‘THE BATMAN’ trilogy is reportedly uncertain following James Gunn and Peter Safran’s exit from DC Studios.
Reeves previously discussed plans for a trilogy, but it remains unclear whether the new leadership will continue those plans.

“I don’t know if my grandma would like that” is gonna appeal to Gen Z a lot.
New DC Studios boss Jeremy Latcham says his approach to superhero movies is to consider whether they would appeal to regular families outside Hollywood.
“I don’t know if my grandma would like that” became a guiding principle during his time at Marvel Studios.

james gunn was clearly the only one keeping parasitic executives at bay from firing matt reeves or interfering with his vision for the batman franchise

I don't think Gunn and Safran's tenure was perfect. Superman was promising, Supergirl was a mess, and Clayface was fun. It's intellectually disingenuous to act like Gunn was intentionally ignoring iconic characters because he has a personal affinity for C-tier misfits.
Man of Tomorrow, the franchise's 4th in-universe movie, was going to introduce Wonder Woman. The MCU's first four films were Iron Man 1 & 2, The Incredible Hulk, and Thor. And, trust me, no one was hailing the franchise as the Hollywood game-changer it'd eventually become at that time.
Gunn was tasked with being DC's Kevin Feige and literally wasn't given the time (as far as film production goes -- THE AVENGERS was the MCU's 6th movie). It would have helped to have a public plan for Batman, sure, but who knows where that'd be if Reeves' sequel came out when it was originally supposed to in 2025?
Ultimately, Gunn's DCU would have been fine. Perfect for neither fans nor investors, but serviceable to both. Now the billionaires are instead choosing to start the cycle over again, in which the best-case scenario is marginal gains and the worst is a complete implosion like the DCEU.
In short: IDIOTS.

I'm confused by these posts. Do you think Matt Reeves will get to direct more Batman movies now? The only reason Reeves was thankfully able to finish Batman 2 was cause James Gunn had his back for years. You think Ellison and this new bumblefuck will wait 5 years for a script??
Travis Long retweeted
Man got an R rated superhero body horror movie made and had Luca Guadagnino signed on to direct a superhero movie, whilst giving Matt Reeves as long as he needed for Batman 2. Say what you want about him, but you’re not getting that under Ellison’s henchmen lmao

How it feels to be a DC fan 😩

Why do people like Snyder. He’s a dogshit director who doesn’t understand character or story. He made Batman, the character notorious for his no kill rule, a murder hungry psycho. He also made Superman, a character known for his optimism and humanity, a bleak stoic character.
Thank f'ng God. No diss to the man himself, but this mess of a DCU was so directionless and just had a "throw something at the wall to see what sticks" vibe to it. They pretty much ruined one of my favorite superheroes ever, Superman by surrounding him with idiots.
Say what you want about the DCEU, and I wasn't a fan of a lot of those movies, but at least it seemed to be pointed at something.
And I know it won't happen, but I would happily have Snyder back for JL2.

You say that as if being the “Mamdani of Texas” is a bad thing. Remember, Texas sunk to historically low quality of life rankings under the “Abbott of Texas.” 🤣💙

The house has favored republicans ever since they locked it at a certain number while population in blue areas continues to explode. The senate obviously always has had a bias towards small states. Which the house was supposed to help fix that issue but they locked it too

So let me get this right:
Their theory is that Democrats rigged the vote in each of Texas' 254 counties without getting caught.
All while Republicans controlled the entire state level government and every single rural county government?
