Save the date 07/11.

So far it looks good. Out of the JLI, Guy Gardner looks the worst. That bowl cut never looks good anywhere. But other than him, Mr Terrific and Hawkgirl look impressive. Not much on Metamorpho to make a guess. But most importantly, Krypto's here!

I'm sorry, Marvel. Superman needs my attention more than the Fantastic 4.

BECAUSE HOLY KRYPTON WE ARE VERY MUCH BACK!

Like, a rock remix of the John Williams theme? Never in my life have I ever needed something so much and never known until I received it...

W/ how Disney has been cancelling trans representation, f$%# them. This looks more promising and w/ a director/writer as unapologetically progressive as James Gunn, this deserves the money more.

Looks bril! Excited to see Nicholas Hoult as Luthor. My only concern is that is might introduce a bit too many characters to juggle.

[up][up]Going to the cinema is expensive. You can certainly watch both films, but watching both at the cinema might be costly.

Hyped to see the greatest criminal mind of our time return to the big screen!

Oh yeah, and Superman too. [lol]

Besides ticket prices, going to the cinema can also be more time consuming depending on one's schedule. But talking about the trailer, Boravia's a pretty deep cut reference. According to the DC wiki, it was featured in DC Comics between Sept 1939 to July 1958 and Superman's involvement there was protecting civilians from the country's civil war. It hasn't been featured in DC Comics since 1958.

Oh, that makes Gunn an even better pick as director if he's going for deep cuts references like that!

Huh, checking the dates they releasing a couple of weeks apart in July. superman early on and FF later. That's closer to direct competition than I thought.

Speaking of Gunn, Creature Commandos is really cooking especially w/ the backstories of GI Robot and Weasel.

Here's the link regarding Boravia

https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Boravia

Suicide Squad 2 did mention Bloodsport and Rick Flag Jr serving together in Qurac w/c they treated as their Earth's version of the US occupation of Iraq during the War on Terror so the deep cuts were as early as that film. Plus Peacemaker's father Red Dragon wasn't exactly the most popular member of the 4th Reich, especially compared to the likes of Captain Nazi and Baroness Blitzkrieg, yet he was there as 1 of the villains.

Probably the Authority, or Lex.

Maybe Brainiac.

The trailer raises a lot of questions but that's a good thing since it builds intrigue in an exciting way? who or what harmed superman so bad? why are people mad at him? what is that laser fight outside his apartment and why is he not responding to it? how do the other heroes in the trailer tie into the plot?

is fertile ground for fan discussion.

I think this is set in a world where super heroes are already well established?

WAIT this means that we might actually get an accurate Lex Luthor on the big screen for the FIRST FUCKING TIME.

Jon Cryer Lex was on Supergirl but he's still the most accurate Lex.
