DC hasn't put out something cool and original in 20 years. Fuck off.
You didn't watch The Batman or The Penguin, I guess.
Or Joker.
Did you not see The Batman? I was stunned because my expectations were low.
I quite liked Reeves' Batman and Gunn's Superman, while a tad bit unfocused in narrative, was a fresh take on Superman i that was sorely needed after whatever the fuck Man of Steel and BvS were supposed to be, Cavill's tight abs be damned.
Superman had a lot of flaws as a film and could have benefited from some aggressive rewrites, but the portrayal of Superman as a character was excellent. Quite frankly, it was refreshing to see a live action Superman movie that isn't ashamed to be a Superman movie.
Were you stunned by how even your low expectations were left unmet?
Meanwhile, the new Superman movie was actually good, the only decent DC film since Nolan's Batmen
this is what worries me. I had some neighbors who recommended it and personally I found it. Ok. The best parts to me were krypto and supergirl though so was kinda excited for supergirl although my expectations are low.
The DC Animated Movie Universe puts the entire MCU to shame.
The Penguin man, you need to go watch that.
What would be cool and original? The new Superman was pretty good and nailed the tone of the character. Also did a good job of Guy Gardner and Mr Terrific. And Lex was legit a good bad guy, constantly testing the loyalty of those around him like a narcissistic billionaire does.
I like Shazam. Shit like Batman vs Superman is just too one dimensional unless you're already deeply invested in those franchises.
