So Gunn’s a total pedo...ugh. What happened to old-fashioned values like when people thought Hitchcock was weird for being so fixated on beautiful blonde women?
DC used to make excellent animated movies and shows until they let a flamer take charge of everything ten years or so ago. Now they wonder why sales have dropped off after same-gender kissing scenes, lesbian Bat-Woman and Supergirl’s butch sister on Prime Time.
Maybe the gun, or parts of the gun were made out of kryptonite. You ever think of that? 😉
Let me guess. Superman is now a homosexual space alien, and on his native planet homosexuality is normal. Lois Lane is a lesbian who schools Clark Kent all about the Rainbow agenda. I’ll pass on seeing this woke garbage.
It has to be the water, like when Jack LaLanne towed by swimming, 70 boats on his seventieth bday :^)
Who needs kryptonite?
Jimmy Olsen?
That actually makes sense!
James Gunn — the new Superman movie is about “loving immigrants”

SNL Skit from way back: What if Superman had landed in Nazi Germany.
UBERMAN!
Smallville was also good, although I didn’t see it through to the end so I don’t know if it got wokeified later.
I never thought that. You'd have to propose the same thing about myriad of 30s-40s-50s actors.
Well, they ARE easily duped.
George Reeves/Christopher Reeve Superman portrayed the comic book hero.
Comic book Superman/Spiderman/Thor/Avengers...Archie, whoever, they all did fantastic stuff, crazy stuff, fun stuff to appeal to young teen boys. I know, I used to be one.
So, I’m fine with the movies being true to the comic. Later versions of Spiderman movies are crazy & unwatchable, geared, imo, toward Chinese teens & younger.
“Spiderman movies are crazy & unwatchable”
Agreed...I tried to watch a couple and stopped after less than 5 minutes.
As a kid, the comic book Spiderman was hilarious.
Stan Lee had a hell of a sense of humor.
Spidey was my favorite. I had every issue of the Marvel comics, except for the first 3 Fantastic Four.
I bought them faithfully for several years - even when they *gasp* went to 12 cents. I left home as some do after high school. Later, visiting my old room, I found my cousin had sold them all or something.
By then, I had decided to preserve them as an investment but all were gone.
12 cents
That was just four pop bottles easily found in alleys and construction sites you could return to the store for the deposit.
Find four more, Hostess cupcakes or Twinkies too.
The new superman’s kryptonite is the Christian Cross apparently- He loses all strength whenever he views one-
Superman and Snow White go woke = NO SALE!
“while it marks a new chapter in a franchise that began with the iconic Christopher Reeve in Richard Donner’s well received 1978 classic Superman: The Movie”
The Superman franchise didn’t begin in 1978. It goes way back, even further than the 1950’s George Reeve series. Even the theme song used in this latest movie is the same as the one used in the old Bud Collier radio program from the 1940’s.

This thing has looked bad since the first trailer dropped.
DC just can’t help but screw itself every single time.
With the first Wonder Woman movie they looked like they had finally gotten something right.. then WW84 they just wrecked it to hell.
Someone needs to wrestle DC away from WB, and clean house.
Sadly I don’t see it happening
