diehards

Image via Warner Bros. The Snyderverse is dead, bury it, utters James Gunn with his announcement of the first slate of new DC films. But for the absolute hardcore Zack Snyder fans, there’s one last desperate plea to save the series by selling it off to Netflix. Yes, because Netflix is the reliable service you’d want to sell your dream project to. Among the DC fanbases are many rifts and subsections, as well as a near constant civil war between Gunn-men and Snyder cultists. The divide is almost as simple as a…

Well, with just two days to go at the time of writing, we can be sure that these exciting updates will be dropping any moment. So with time running out before the DCU starts officially taking shape, desperate diehards are busy throwing their…

Image via Disney Plus Soon, James Gunn will see his time with the Marvel Cinematic Universe come to an end and he will he mainlining DC Studios as its new co-CEO. The filmmaker is likely to bring his friends from the 616 over, though, and now franchise fans are worried the one people love to hate will end up being cast as one of two lesser-known, but still beloved heroic characters. The above thread on Reddit – sparked in the wake of Gunn saying he will probably find room for Pratt in the DCU – has provoked a…

DC fans have received multiple news and updates in regard to Superman and how he’ll be portrayed going forward with James Gunn’s DCU. However, not much has been heard about Batman aside from the fact that Joker Folie a Deux will still go through production. Now, there is chatter amongst fans as to whether or not a Batman adaptation will even come to fruition. Reddit user u/LoneNotAlone asked on r/DC_Cinematic if DC Studios would continue to produce a live-action adaptation of Batman Beyond. It was announced late last…

When Ben Affleck was announced as the new Batman in 2013, there were howls of disapproval from fans. In retrospect, it’s difficult to understand why: Affleck looks the part, has proved on multiple occasions he’s a talented actor, and his writing/directing chops should have made him ideal for a solo adventure. However, as with most things relating to Warner Bros. and the DCEU, the studio fumbled the ball. Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was a hit but was met with terrible reviews, though the director’s…

“It’s the best movie since (fill in the blank).” We’re sure you’ve all heard that one before. Whether it’s DC, Marvel, or otherwise; plenty of established franchises like to compare their latest and greatest to whatever late-great movie currently exists as the gold standard. In DC’s case, it seems they’re still trying to escape the masterpiece that is The Dark Knight. Every new superhero movie made is an opportunity for its marketing team to proudly declare it a cinematic breakthrough — and why wouldn’t they? That’s…

The internet is simultaneously holding its breath and screaming at the top of its lungs as James Gunn and Peter Safran get their hands dirty by rebuilding the DCU, namely by waiting with dwindling patience for more updates on the franchise’s first slate whilst loudly slagging Gunn for his dropping of Henry Cavill’s Superman, and other decisions that anyone familiar with the creative process – especially in this context – would understand. For now, very little seems to be off the table for the franchise, and those are…

All that’s been officially confirmed about Deadpool 3 at this point is that we know it will finally pit Ryan Reynolds’ Wade Wilson against Hugh Jackman, breaking his own rules to return as Wolverine, but that’s still enough to raise the hype to higher levels than either of the previous two movies. In fact, a new rumor claims that the threequel will beat out the prior Deadpool films released under Fox by surprisingly ratcheting up the violence more than ever before, despite Disney being behind the wheel this time. It…

Right now, James Gunn has a tough task ahead of him. After his time in the MCU comes to a close for the foreseeable future, he will be steering the DCU in a new direction beyond its chaotic past and present. Several people have ideas, some things are uncertain and, for fans, there are a number of hopes for just what exactly the white-haired wonder will end up authorizing. A new post on Reddit — sporting images of Green Arrow, Booster Gold, Static Shock, Zatanna, and Nightwing — invites fans to explain what they would…
