Good day, everyone, and welcome to my blog. James Gunn was officially announced as co-CEO of the new DCU in October 2022. It marked a new beginning for DC with Warner Bros deciding the DCU needed to change and compete with their rivals the MCU. James Gunn officially announced that the DCU was going to be rebooted with a lot of changes and was going to be made down to casting, which saw Henry Cavill leaving the role as Superman, which he had taken on since 2013.
The DCU's new era began with the release of the first project on chapter one, which is titled “Gods and Monsters”, and saw Creature Commandos taking the stage in December 2024. Creature Commandos was a hit in the cinemas as the reviews it got were incredible from DC fans, and there was criticism as some DC fans are still not happy about the reboot and the total cut off of Zack Snyder's version of the Justice League live-action movie.
It is still kind of funny because these guys are still pissed off about it till this day and have criticised every project that James Gunn's new DCU studios are developing over the past two years. The second project that is set to be released by James Gunn is the new Superman movie, which will hit the cinemas on July 11, which is next month. The trailer of the movie has been released, and I can say the movie is going to be great from the multiple thrillers that I have watched.
James Gunn wants to create a comic-accurate project, plus add some unique stuff to it, which is what some DC fans have been requesting for a long time, but the truth of the matter is that even with everything being done, some fans are never satisfied with what is being created by the new studio. There has been a lot of criticism for the upcoming Superman movies on X and TikTok by some people who claim to be comic experts, as they know everything related to what a comic-accurate live-action movie should be.
It is absurd that most of the people criticising this film are Snyder fans who don't want to face the reality that the Zack Snyder version of the DCEU is not coming back to the screen again. I can't help but wonder why it is hard for these fans to move on and simply enjoy what James Gunn is doing with the DCU. James Gunn personally took over directing and writing this Superman movie as he wants it to be the best because the truth is this movie is going to set the standard for the new DCU studios project, which is why it has to be a success at the box office this summer.
This movie is going to turn out fine, and I am sure of it, which is why I won't be missing out on it or any critic to make me lose interest in seeing the film once it gets released next month. So, guys, save the date for July 11 and don't miss out on the incredible movie coming up this summer.
