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.

Caleb Pressley did the PERFECT setup for a joke, and Bob Does Sports walked right into it without realizing 😭😭
“Girls go to college to get more knowledge, but where did you go”
“I flunked out of college and moved to Florida”
“Where”
“Jupiter” 🤣🤣

Senate Democrats are obviously begging Schumer to just pass the torch with dignity so that he can ride off into the sunset but his ego just won't let him do it.
🚨NEWS: @SenBlumenthal declines to endorse @SenSchumer as the next Senate Majority Leader
Blumenthal just told reporters: "We need a conversation about leadership going forward because we need new energy and ideas"

Leaving two deeply unpopular corporate, pro-Israel New York Democrats to lead both the House and Senate right now would be badly misreading this moment and fumbling a historic win, and even they know it.

WOW. This is incredible. The Acting US Attorney for the Western District of Washington says it no longer has the manpower to respond to every ICE habeas corpus case, so going forward, it will decline to defend “many” cases and let judges rule without any government opposition.
DOJ cries uncle, abandons clients in habeas cases:

It’s really underdiscussed how much of American conservatism is based on the premise that only conservatives are allowed to wield power and that the will of the voters is something to be worked around if not outright ignored

Oh my god she’s saying it out loud this is crazy
Neera Tanden at The National Press Club:
The next two years should not be an opportunity for every group in DC to dust off their wish list for the last decade.
It's not a time to pressure Congress to fruitlessly spend time, political capital on ideas that we couldn't get done in a Democratic trifecta just a few years ago.

Among position players to win ROTY since 2000, Stewart ranks:

35/38 in wRC+ (112)
37/38 in wOBA (.339)
26/38 in ISO (.194)
8/38 in HR (32)
4/38 in RBI (112)
The purest counting stats win of our lifetime. A complete robbery. Draft picks are tied to this!

Damn, The Hollywood Reporter just dropped an exclusive.
James Gunn was celebrating Clayface making $100 million and he was already writing his third Superman movie. Then, on Friday, Nov. 6, David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz told Gunn and Peter Safran they were out as co-heads of DC Studios.

Even after the midterms, everyone is still voting like it’s 2006

It’s very ironic that baseball award voting has mostly faded away from traditional stats over the decade but Sal Stewart beat out Carson Benge here solely because of HR and RBI while Nolan McLean got little credit for 180 IP of a 3.16 ERA
