That too bad. He made a good Superman and I wanted to see him fight Black Adam.Behind the Fall of Henry Cavill’s Superman

It's kind of weird that he's replying directly to a bunch of random people one Twitter
DC is a slow motion train wreck playing out in real time.
And Marvel might be in the same boat.
Their hit rate on characters and story arcs has declined to the point that they can't build any enthusiasm from fans for what's next with each release.
That's not to say they can't get it back, but it makes the "hard reboot" of franchises necessary while also raising the stakes a bunch. Fortunately for Marvel, they've written the multiverse into things to make departures from established characters/storylines possible, giving them more room to play around.
James Gunn Responds To Negative DCU Backlash: "We're Not Recasting Everyone Except The SUICIDE SQUAD"
DC Studios co-head James Gunn has taken to Twitter to respond to the negative backlash he's received since making some controversial decisions about the future of the DC Universe...
Finally saw Black Adam. Certainly surpassed my expectations as I found myself enjoying it. Some of the story and acting was meh. I'd put it on a similar tier with Aquaman. Not a fantastic movie But overall an enjoyable watch. Loved the entire Justice Society (can we get more there?). Especially thought Brosnan as Dr Fate was amazing. Sad we won't get more of that character. The setup with Cavill at the end would've been awesome if I didn't already know that news. Really interested to see where gunn takes the DCEU

I kind of wondered if the Snyder loyalists/army of bots were pushing all these leaks and now that Ray Fisher is getting involved attacking Gunn it all but confirms it to me.
As a previous poster said: Gunn needs to go radio silent and stop responding to all these idiots. He’s no longer just the quirky, interactive Hollywood director. He’s the head of a major studio division. There’s no way for him to win right now, so I don’t see why he’s even trying.

James Gunn Responds To Ray Fisher After ‘Justice League’ Star Slammed DC Head For “Fake Grace On Twitter”
Ray Fisher, known for his portrayal of superhero Cyborg in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, is putting new DC co-head James Gunn on blast. Fisher recalled a tweet where Gunn was seemingly showin…

Did Ray Fisher make a stupid accusation without knowing the facts? Yes
Did James Gunn effectively counter Ray Fisher's stupid argument? Yes
Should James Gunn constantly be responding to any of these trolls through Twitter? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop it!!!!!
Yeah he seriously needs to get off Twitter. There will ALWAYS be trolls and detractors on Twitter. Just focus on making the DCEU awesome. Plenty of work to be done there. I like Gunn but I'm worried he's going to let all this nonsense distract himJames Gunn Responds To Ray Fisher After ‘Justice League’ Star Slammed DC Head For “Fake Grace On Twitter”

At this point I think Gunn should literally just nuke everything and start totally fresh. It's going to get confusing with what's connected and what's not. Keeping some things and getting rid of others doesn't seem like the right path IMO
Secret Meetings, Tequila and Black Adam vs. Superman: How Dwayne Johnson’s Bid for DC Power Flamed Out
From chaos comes order, to paraphrase Nietzsche. And that is certainly the hope in the new year when it comes to the DC Extended Universe, which endured the most tumultuous 12 months of any studio …

Just finished the first half of Titans Season 4 (what has been released so far), and I'd say it is about on par with the rest of the seasons, and that isn't really a compliment. Of the 6 episodes, I found the first half to be terrible, boring and borderline unwatchable, but things at least got a little better in the back half. Like the other seasons, there are always some things to really like a few good characters and some really good cinematography, but the storytelling is always so inconsistent with major glaring fallacies throughout. Some of the worst stuff was a lot of the fight scenes, which were CW cringeworthy at times. Anyway, I saw the announcement this will be the last season, and frankly, I'm happy with that. Just like I was ready to turn a new page on the Arrowverse, it is time with the Titans too. I'll still probably watch the back half of this season thought when it gets released.
I agree. I feel like season 1 was by far the best and it's been a slow decline up and down since

DC Studios Boss James Gunn Reveals How THE FLASH Sets Up The New DCU; "[It] Resets Many Things, Not All"
DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has addressed the role The Flash plays in setting up the new DCU, confirming that while some things are going to change, others will remain the same. Read on for details...
Everything is turning out to be what I was afraid would happen. I wasn't crazy about this reboot, but I've come around on it as long as it is a full reboot/reset. The last thing I want is a partial reset, much less a partial reset where James seems to be making sure he keeps all his own characters he has worked with essentially, which seems to be what we are getting. Super frustrating. If the goal is to make things less confusing and more unified, just reboot the whole thing!!!
CONSTANTINE 2 Starring Keanu Reeves Has Reportedly Been Scrapped At Warner Bros./DC Studios
It's a new era for the DCEU DCU thanks to DC Studios, but it appears the planned Constantine sequel starring Keanu Reeves is another project scrapped by James Gunn and Peter Safran. Read on for details...
Not shocked. I never saw how this one fit into the future plans

Not everything has to fit into some grand plan. At some point they need to worry about making good movies (this goes for Marvel too) and stop worrying about some master story they are trying to tell.CONSTANTINE 2 Starring Keanu Reeves Has Reportedly Been Scrapped At Warner Bros./DC Studios

And frankly, I've just about reached my limit of looking multiple years down the line to see what's coming. When a film or TV show has reached post production and has an actual date on the release schedule, I'll start caring. This "oh we're going to make such and such, but we haven't even started pre-production" has become such an exercise in futility.
