DC Extended Universe

I'll admit I'm kind of digging this trailer. Has me intrigued for sure. David Corenswet at least looks the part. There is a lot of weight riding on this movie. In fact, one could argue the whole new DCU depends on it being really good. Still not a fan of the trunks, but oh well I guess.
It looks like there's a lot going on in that movie. I'm curious to see if it is handled well and is actually a good product or if it is some convoluted mess of characters and events that is hard to follow.
I've still got a couple episodes left. So far I'm finding it to be ok. The team in the show is a bit too much like all of Gunn's previous work when I'm ready for something new at this point.
Gunn has a good track record with making silly stuff compelling, but this looks like it’s pushing it to me. Especially with the emphasis on Krypto that have put in the trailers. The casting seems pretty great though, Brosnahan will kill it as Lois.
Surprised no one's talking about it. Went to see Superman yesterday, had a great time. Not a perfect movie in any stretch, but a great foundational movie for the universe Gunn is setting up. Wife knows more about the DC universe than me and she loved it.
I saw it on Friday night and I thought it was great! Def not afraid to be over "comic booky." Thought maybe a few more serious moments were undone by some humor, but overall very enjoyable.
Same, though I think that speaks to the leeway WB is giving Gunn to establish characters on their own time in the future instead of forcing exposition on each character. Figure every single one of the JG/L and Daily Planet characters will get more personal screen time.
They could have cut Cat Grant and Steve Lombard from the Daily Planet group. Honestly about the only 2 characters that were in the movie just because they were characters fans may have heard of. Cat Grant was mostly walking cleavage and Steve Lombard was there for a seat belt joke. Almost every other side character felt like they had at least some purpose.
If Superman was stand alone, sure, but who's to say they won't have bigger roles in the future. The movie just felt like a 2 hour introduction.
the family went Thursday and we all enjoyed it. It was very comic books but in a good way. A tad over stuffed but worth it. The more I think about it the more I like it. It was like picking up a random Superman issue. Hope this leads to more success for the DCU.
