Fake news ☝️

What If he is gonna play john constantine? I love to see that, homelander just like constantine, reverse version.

I believe that's Solaris in the background 👁️🔥

Theory makes a lot of sense.

Hear me out… Black Mask, Two Face, Killer Croc/Scarecrow

I’m curious but worried about James new dc universe I hope it’s good

James gunn needs to go

My personal idea is characters like The Authority function like the The Seven in The Boys. The Authority is basically owned by major companies, (maybe Lexcorp?) and superheroing is a lot of antiheroes and morally grey metahumans. But "freelance" superheroes, like Superman, are an existential threat to their existence, because they point out that heroes should be about hope and saving lives. Hence why one of the characters in Superman is The Engineer, as a gateway into that theme.

I and a lot of people definitely had similar theories around the same time. For me it’s less “reverse” but more like an Early Kingdom Come. I’ve left comments here before that you saw (like that one about the other heroes being JSA legacies) but yeah, Clark being inspired by the idealistic heroes of the past and bringing that heroism back for a better future will be the core of the story, but instead of him being part of that past generation and the story having him at the end of his career, it’s early on. I’m still hoping for a 5 year long career at this point, and considering the N52 influence on the suit that fits because the present day N52 stories started 5 years into his career.

I wouldn't be surprised if James has plans for Toyman 🤔

Maybe it won’t be Ultraman, but Bizarro, at first he is normal clone but with time falls apart and becomes Bizarro.

it was Shazam who made the heroic act not Superman. Kingdom come supes is not the ideal superman only his wisdom. So I dont understand how this story could work for a young superman in gunns movie. Kingdom come is a tale told in the eyes of someone who has the power to judge and was humbled by the resilience of a guilty(shazam) to admit mistake and atone through a heroic act. That us the gist of kingdom come how in the world can gunn pul this off with the set of chars he has chosen. It just way to muddled already.

Gunn has mentioned SEVERAL times that everything is connected. My Adventures with Superman is setting up the movie. He has said several times that superman will be superman in the DCU.

A reverse Kingdom Come would be amazing

It'll be cool that heroes already exist and have existed for a while

I am very excited for this

I LIKE THE FACT THAT HE HAS A HANDSOME LEX. LIKE THE SAME AGE AS SUPERMAN. NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE!

SO GLAD THAT KEPT THIS MOVIE UNDER WRAPS. USUALLY THEY TELL MOVIES OR SHOW TOO MUCH. THEN NO ONE WANTS TO SEE IT.

Honestly, i loved a rumour that said Professor Pyg will be the main villain and that this movie will be a horror with halloween release.

I personally would love to see the court of owls in a movie

I can see antony as adam strange, and if they are introducing mr terrific in superman, they have the works to make a movie based on strange adventures

Worst looking Superman ever Created. He looks like the Drunk, Evil Superman from Superman 3.

Christian Bale WAS NOT a big or even known actor when he was cast as Batman Neither was Nolan a big name for that matter. The dark Knight made both of their careers. Keaton was known, but as a comedic actor. Kilmer and Clooney were the biggest names until Ben Affleck but Clooney for being a TV star which at the time was seen as being below movie Stars Rob is in between known but not big, he is the Keaton category known for something else and seen wrong for the role until he proved otherwise Superman has had way fewer movies and all the actors have been small time or unknowns

I don't know if I'm the viewer you are talking about that said they think Clark was probably inspired by heroes of old ie the JSA etc But I also think the AUTHORITY will be the most popular hero group when we enter this world the premiere group this world's SE7EN if you will. And I think this newbie Superman will be one of the founders of the justice LEAGUE then end up rivaling and eventually coming to blows with and overtaking the authority

I really want Chris Pratt to play DCU Booster Gold but I can TOTALLY see Antony Starr and Chase Crawford (the Deep) playing Booster and Beetle. Also none of those listed actors give me Batman/Bruce Wayne energy, I want Oliver Jackson-Cohen to play Batman and you can't convince me otherwise, its literally a perfect role for him

Listen not racist im mixed and lightskin as u can see but DO NOT CAST A BLACK BATMAN UNLESS ITS A SIDE BATMAN DO NOT cAST MAIN BRUCE WAYNE BLACk

I hope Joe Manginello doesn't come back as Deathstroke, the best actor to play DCU's Slade would be either Josh Brolin or David Morrissay (TWD's Governor actor) those are my top picks

Would be great if we get some love shown to the JSA era characters. Maybe in the vain of smallville. There could be this old generation of heroes lost to time some died off, maybe killed, and others quietly retired. I think that could work well

I have been saying for a while that a reverse Kingdom Come storyline would be the best way to really showcase why Superman is special, I truly hope this is the route Gunn is taking this universe.

Ah this movie is literally going to suck ass no matter what Gunn does.

I woudn't be surprised if Reeves' "verse" is done after Batman part 2 tbh. The clear focus and resources are going into the DCU.

It's been a long time coming but I cannot wait for the DCU to begin. Gunn could not have described what the universe will look like any better. And thinking the very same as your theories Boba, well said bro

Going back to the boy scout, Donner, Christopher Reeves version of Superman is a TERRIBLE Idea. IMO Gunn is going to fail miserably with this endeavor. Society and the viewing public aren't now going to accept a 1960s version/plot of Superman that the Donner version was going for. The reality is that in 2024 society at large isn't going to accept a super hero movie that doesn't have collateral damage, and oh, on the way Superman saves a cat from a tree. That works in My Adventures with Superman, but that's a cartoon.

Can't wait for the Penguin series to dropp this fall but it sucks they're not going forward with the other two spinoffs (Gotham PD, Arkham Asylum) that were announced previously. I'm in love with Matt Reeves' version of Gotham City & I wanna see this univserse explored & expanded as much as possible. Plus, we need something more to hold us over until The Batman sequel in 2026.

Also it drives me insane how most directors take a very famous Graphic Novel and then just completely change it and they wonder why we hate their movie 🤦

James Gunn has already has me fuming but Kingdom Come Superman is old and one of the many lies James Gunn has told is that he got rid of Henry Cavill because he was too old. Henry is just 100% better than David… David just looks like a cheap knock off in everything I see regarding Superman

I’m glad the film is kept under wraps, because I wanna be surprised when I watch the movie. Just like the old days.

Homelander as joker 🙄

Have Slade be that Hitman for Hire on the side for Amanda Waller imo

Deathstroke is my favorite villain in DC. Seeing him on the big screen is something I’ve been wanting to see for a very long time

It makes sense not to have that many origins in the DCU as DC has been around for a very long time and we pretty much know the origins.

Soooo Lex trying to frame Superman like Lex did in bvs in Africa and the capitol explosion? LMAO bruh

"Reverse Kingdom Come" is an awesome concept, man! Allow me to ask, what are your thoughts on The New Frontier? I believe Gunn is actually following the roadmap of The New Frontier, a great mirror to Kingdom Come. The DCU is building towards the rise of contemporary heroes, moving on from DC's old-school ways. Literally and thematically. The JSA and Suicide Squad are not frontline fighters anymore; the dark & gritty DCEU is not cool anymore. Out with the old, in with the new. I just read DC: The New Frontier. The first couple chapters follow this concept. The JSA are forced into retirement while Superman & WW are forced to step up. It's the passing of the mantle from JSA to JLA. Superman is forced to create his legacy. I should add, one of the early chapters of the book is actually titled "Gods & Monsters". The New Frontier is actually a perfect set up for Kingdom Come. I hope in 10-12 years we see a Kingdom Come adaptation in which Kal El comes out of retirement to overthrow & re-inspire his legacy.

This “Reverse Kingdom Come” theory sounds like Superman inspiring Batman to do better in BvS. Or Superman using theatricality to defeat he the elite while teaching them a better way.

Feels nice looks at these comments all nice and chill compared to twitter where there’s nothing but toxicity and people hating on this and that

He can keep his new DC - that universe had some awesome people playing the heroes. That i... killed it and for me, my family and most of my friends and colleagues, DC does not exist anymore. Cut that crap. We have enough of directors or regisseurs stomping all over the place, fulfilling their personal gagaland and showing no empathy whatsoever for source materials, established characters or the fans. Last season of Game of Thrones, the last 3 Starwars movies, the Witcher series, now this... - sorry, it's enough! We don't want or have to accept every BS the movie companies or single folks there are throwing at their audience nowadays! 😡😤😓

I feel like they're going to become the greatest heroes because of the morals and actions and not because the dialogue says they will

Snyder batman was only in year 2!?

I hope we get Power Girl at some point and shes comic book accurate.
