AncalagonTheBlack Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 New Supergirl is Rhaenyra Targaryen! - https://variety.com/2024/film/news/supergirl-milly-alcock-james-gunn-1235891230/ Milly Alcock, who played the young Rhaenyra Targaryen in the first season of HBO’s “House of the Dragon,” will play the Woman of Steel in the new DC Universe spearheaded by James Gunn and Peter Safran. She will headline the upcoming feature film “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,” based on the DC comics run of the same name by Tom King and Bilquis Evely. That project, however, does not yet have a director, and Ana Nogueira (“The Vampire Diaries”) was just hired to write the screenplay in November. Gunn, who confirmed Alcock’s casting on Instagram, has not stated when Alcock will make her superhero debut. But the fact that the news that Alcock landed the role broke months before Gunn will begin shooting “Superman: Legacy” suggests that Supergirl may first show up alongside her Kryptonian cousin before setting off on her own story.

Rhom Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 They have now renamed Superman: Legacy to just SUPERMAN. Makes sense. I never understood why an origin story about a young Superman would have a “Legacy.” There’s nothing there to live up to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGP Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Had a long ass nap today, that I’m sure will tilt my wonky sleep patterns further, so while perusing headlines I saw something about Mark Miller maybe doing something Superman related once the IP hits the public domain and… I got some pretty conflicting feels going on. As a creative copyright is a very important thing to me, yet I also believe it’s a good thing it eventually expires. And yet, I really don’t want to see everyone’s grasping little fingerprints all over Superman. I really don’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet, I really don’t want to see everyone’s grasping little fingerprints all over Superman. I really don’t. I’d just as soon he find something that diverges from any capes. I’m incredibly tired of the ultra-cynical perspective that seems to be so prevalent in his work (that I’ve read or seen adapted). I have a fairly healthy comics blind spot due to time away/mostly away for kids but Old Man Logan (I’m a sucker for that kind of story (see also The Last Avengers Story)), Kingsmen and Red Son. Skipped Kick-Ass entirely due to the cover to cover JRJR spew. Besides, didn’t he already do a take on Superman with Homelander, or is that just the Amazon adaptation?

JGP Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 The Boys was an Ennis creation. For me it's less about Miller and more about everyone. I mean, in 33 Superman is anyone's to fuck with. Marvel, Netflix, whoever. However. And I'm feeling weirdly precious about that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get where you’re coming from there, thinking about John Oliver’s piece with Steamboat Willy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Still can't get Tweets to actually show up in posts anymore... https://x.com/Variety/status/1787515242060149246 But anyways... man, I'm sure glad we moved on from Superman wearing dark colors and looking depressed in all those Snyder films...

JGP Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Blue is much lighter than Snyder’s suit. Not sure about the cloth look [especially with the shoulder padding] but I don’t hate it. Uncertain what’s going on in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was able to blow it up better at home. Doesn't appear to be shoulder padding in there, just odd wrinkling. Loose suit. Interesting choice. Good to see the trunks back though. 1 hour ago, Rhom said: Yeah, lots of comments to the effect of “Taking his time putting his boots on after a quickie while the world ends.” Again, better look-- seems like some Lantern energy going on around that sphere in the BG. If I'm right and that's Guy Gardner scrapping with someone/thing, I can see why Clark might not be so enthused to chip in >.< [Gardner better have that carrot top bowl cut too] Edited May 6 by JGP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveSumm Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 For some reason I feel like I really need a trailer to wrap my head around this movie. I just can’t visualise what a Gunn Superman movie with this many characters looks like at all. Suit looks OK, I like that it’s a casual thing and not the classic pose. Although the loose bunching at the shoulders is kinda odd, it makes it look like it’d be hard to move in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After GotG, I can of course visualize a group superhero movie by Gunn, but this does feel crowded since the movie is supposed (?) to be centered around a single hero. It feels more like Captain America Civil War in scope rather than First Avenger or Winter Soldier. Unless all the extra characters are mainly just people he runs into on a given day, which feels very Gunn-like. In that context, the first glimpse image makes sense: he's just come home from a long day and something else pops up. With a resigned sigh, he puts his boot back on to go help Green Lantern, who is in over his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Not exactly DCEU, but EW has a first look at Bruce Timm's Batman: The Caped Crusader, featuring Timm and character designer James Tucker discussing character designs, the influence of 1940's noir on the series, etc. JGP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
