I LOVE James Gunn’s GAME CHANGING Plans for the DCU

What do YOU think about James Gunn's plans for the DCU? 💥 Are you excited? Comment below! 💥

That story about James Gunn and his father reading Superman was so freaking sweet, I’m so excited now

What James Gunn has done for comic books in the last week is insane I’ve seen so many people just starting reading them because of him. I hope he keeps up with the recommendations

If Nightwing appears in brave and the bold, Im going to lose my shit. This is going to be awesome I think the biggest thing he has said is that he is valuing, writing, creativity, character, you know all the things that make good damn movies, above everything else.

I never liked the idea of having two on-screen Batmans, it just makes it complicated for kids and new viewers, but after hearing that the DCU Batman will be an older more established version, I realize that this may be the best decision for the character, because one version takes place in the past and follows him in his early years, while the other takes place in the future and follows him through his later years. It’s genius because even though they’re not in the same universe, we can always pretend they are which makes the character easier to follow.

I have a feeling 'The Authority will be the villains of Superman: Legacy. Like a spiritual adaptation of Superman vs the Elite.

The thing I love most about James taking over is that he’s read other dc comics besides the dark knight returns and watchmen lol

I really hope we get to see Jason Todd/Red Hood, not only does Red Hood definitely fit Gunn’s style, but I’m always interested to see a different creators take on his death and resurrection but also I’ll take my batfam crumbs where I can get them

I’m beyond excited to see what Gunn does with the DCU. In terms of comic book films he hasn’t got a single miss as of yet, actually some of the best CBMs we have seen in the last decade. With Marvel’s recent record & Gunn working at the DCU now, I think this is the time the DCU not only competes with Marvels MCU but overtakes them

I was initially hesitant but I honestly think this is a pretty sick slate! I think we should be willing to give Gunn a chance because he goes out of his way to give massive credit to the comics that inspired his stories, something not many creatives do. The way he and Safran describe Superman as "kindness in a world that thinks that kindness is old-fashioned" (THR) is so refreshing to hear. I just started reading Tom King’s “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” and man it gets me hyped for the movie! Supergirl is such an interesting character with a lot of depth, darkly humorous dialogue, optimism, and weight on her shoulders. "Booster Gold" is tailor-made for James Gunn, I think that'll be a fantastic fit! “Lanterns" is so exciting to hear because we've been sorely lacking in GL content, and Paradise Lost seems like something lots of people will get into as well. “The Brave and the Bold" can lead to SO many fun possibilities because it means that we're finally getting a DCU with THE BAT-FAMILY, something I've always wanted to see in live-action. We've had a few great "Swamp Thing" adaptations but I bet this'll be great too, and possibly lead to JL: Dark with Constantine, Zatanna, Deadman and co. down the line. Creature Commandos and The Authority are teams I know nothing about, but I didn't know anything about the Guardians of the Galaxy either and I think those are some of the best comic books movies ever made (part 2 especially), so I'm open to it. It's the "Waller" show that confuses me the most, because it's the thing that's the most overtly connected to the old "DCEU", making me question it canonicity in the new continuity. Overall though, this is a great slate (assuming they stick to it) and I can't wait to see these characters come to life!

I 100% agree with your view on how thematic messages should in addition to defining the DCEU stories themselves connecting up them up in a way that creates not just a box office smash, but a true passion project. James Gunn standing with that definitely shows he has potential to continue the theme of verisimilitude that defines the Superhero genre. Welcome to the Universe…

It's admirable how creators like James Gunn won't give up in telling great stores and entertainment. They won't let bad money and political arrogance discourage them.

I needed a video like this, thanks FilmSpeak. Tons of people are criticizing James Gunn's new DCU plan when nothing has even been released yet. We're obviously not going to be given all the answers right away, so now is a great time to speculate and create fan theories as to what's gonna happen.

I was really mixed on Gunn’s new slate. But I think it was the idea that all these movies and shows will truly be connected by one thematic and storytelling idea that sold me on it, rather than just a series of events leading into each other like the MCU.

I'm optimistic but trying not to get too hyped. WB Discovery tends to scrap stuff without a proper end. But I'm most excited for Superman: Legacy even though I will miss Cavill.

I really appreciate the positive take free of political and ideological biases. Maybe things will work, maybe they won't, but it feels nice to have this sort of "look at the bright side" breakdowns, so difficult to find something like this on YT nowadays

You are the first one who actually may have changed my mind. I just wanted to see the ending of the Snyder verse. I was tired of having reboots or talk about reboots. I wanted to see James Gunn in Zack Snyder’s world and see his spin on it. You’re the first YouTuber to actually made me excited for whatever Gunn is coming out with. Thank you. I still hope they finish Zack Snyders verse in Elseworlds. But still excited about what’s coming out and I cannot come out any faster. Thank you again.

The OPTIMISM!! Being a Marvel fan and listening to this makes me so happy for James Gunn. Full support every step of the way🙏

The fact that filmspeak can make a 35 min video in 2 days is AMAZING!

I've loved all the James Gunn Superhero movie that he worked on, especially The Suicide Squad being my most favorite Superhero movie next to Spiderman No Way Home. Whatever James Gunn does, I have a powerful feeling that it's gonna bang
