Momoa just hates Targaryens

BTW, is he still in shape? He looks like he might have let himself go lately but it's hard to tell. I don't mean fat; it just looks like he's not nearly as muscular as he used to be.

The last time he was on SNL there was a skit where he took his shirt off and even my wife, who would trade a lifetime of me for 3 minutes of him, was like, "Oh, he doesn't look good."

If this movie is even half as good as the comic it's adapting, it'll be one of the top CBMs in recent memory

Ok, just read the series and really liked it. You're right, if done true to the comic it could make a great film with some serious heart to it.

But where the hell does Lobo fit in, because I sure didn't see him in the comic? Maybe he's just thrown in a little at the end as a kind of teaser for a villian in future films?

Lobo was originally supposed to be part of the book, and had Supergirl and Lobo traveling around together. Tom King, who wrote the book and worked on the script, probably wanted to bring some of the original elements back.

I could see Lobo being a big reason why that girl who seeks out Supergirl's world got destroyed, or him being a bounty hunter on the lookout for the same guy Supergirl is after.

Thanks, and glad to see King is involved with the script. If done true to the comic then this movie would definitely have a different tone from 90% of comic book movies, in a good way.

Andy Muschietti on why he thinks The Flash movie failed at the box office:

"A lot of people aren't interested in Flash as a character, the public half of that, the four quadrants, the two female quadrants, there are a lot of women who aren't interested in Flash as a character."… pic.twitter.com/Z43jW86lmc

This dude makes a bad movie with a poor casting choice for the Flash and thinks "no it couldnt be my fault, viewers just dont care about the Flash"
Conveniently ignoring the success of the WB show.

What an ass. A ton of people like The Flash (character)

Reminds me of that one meme from The Simpson's

This is the full quote...

Quote:

---

"The Flash failed, apart from all the others reason, because it wasn't a movie that appealed to the four quadrants. It failed at that. When you spend $200 million making a movie, Warner wants to bring even your grandmother to the theaters. And I found out in private conversations that a lot of people just don't care about The Flash as a character. Particularly the two female quadrants. All that is wind going against the movie that I learned about."

---

In other words, he's saying the "people just don't care" thing was only one reason, and he's talking mostly about women, in particular, which makes total sense. I don't know what's so controversial about that.

Also, Muschietti didn't cast the character, Zack Snyder did.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending the movie at all - I thought it was terrible - but on a human level Muschietti is one of the good guys. I met him at a bar a few years ago, through a mutual friend, and he could not have more cool or down to earth, while every anecdote I've heard about him outside of that interaction has only reinforced my experience. He's a super chill dude and well-liked in the industry. He just happened to make a ****ty movie this go-around, but even if he thinks it's better than we do, that's okay.

We also know Warner Bros mangled the movie to death, when the studio was at one of its most tumultuous /rudderless times, and seeing as he's still employed by them, he probably doesn't want to ****-talk them right now, even if it was under different leadership.

Wasn't it already announced that the Synder-verse was dead before this released? So it had a star who was in the news for every horrible reason short of pulling an OJ, tied to a dead IP, with a studio that likely dictated 90% of what could and could not make it to film. This is not to absolve the direction, I really disliked everything about that film, but it wasn't going to succeed short of hiring Nolan to make it.

Exactly. They announced the end of the DCEU at some point either during or after production (way before the movie came out), then there was all the Ezra drama, then the movie was delayed for like a year or more, at which point Warner Bros really started screwing with it, all while Discovery was taking ownership of the studio, Gunn was hired, etc. Basically, it was a massive cluster****, which hardly any movie of this type could have endured.

I still can't believe Ezra survived that. Complete psycho POS human.

And I see no issue with this guy's comments either. The Flash has always been a secondary character and why would women like a dude who is dressed head to toe in a red suit who runs fast.

A really good recap of the situation, along with a nice primer on where things currently stand with the DCU as a whole…

Just wanted to say thanks again for your earlier comments about the comic, because of them I read the comic and now I'm actually looking forward to this movie.

Even if you've never read a comic, read Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. It's a short read with amazing writing and even better art.

That's for anyone reading this

anything Flash related was doomed to fail when it decided to cast him in the role and write the character the way they did. If anything its an easy copout for them that he turned out to be a POS in real life

They also announced a "My Adventures with Green Lantern" show. If it's anywhere as good as "My Adventures with Superman", it'll be awesome.

'KRYPTO' series of short films is in development.

• Described as seasonally themed shorts/
• 4 in total.
• It's the same dog we meet in 'SUPERMAN.'

Just came here to share this, bit more info (without having to go to IG) in the Twitter post:

Excited that #Lanterns is now in production. DC Studios’ new show for @HBO and Max, from creators Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, & @TomKingTK, starring Kyle Chandler & Aaron Pierre, is something really special. @StreamOnMax @dcofficial pic.twitter.com/fODPG3MF1c

— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) February 27, 2025

Didn't know Lindelof was involved but that gets me more excited about it, this could be really cool. Tom King is also really good, primarily a comics writer (I've read some Batman from him) so interesting to see him make this jump.

So those are both Lanterns? John Stewart and I can't remember the other guy's name?

Hal Jordan

Read his Omega Men for a good Green Lantern story!

He also wrote Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (comic and helped a lot with the movie script). Check out Mister Miracle, Strange Adventures, and Human Target as well. He excels in the contained story format much more than an ongoing like Batman. Vision (Marvel) was also excellent.
