This is a hit piece, plain and simple.
Skydance wants to downplay every single project under the previous regime to prop up their hijacking of DC.
Saying that Superman had “no cultural impact”
Calling Lanterns viewership “decent” even though it was the third biggest Season 1 in HBO’s history.
Now they are saying Clayface won’t break even theatrically, even though it will make three times its budget and anyone who has been following box office knows it has turned a profit already.
These are all blatant lies, no one is falling for this bullshit and everyone sees what’s going on here.
“James Gunn’s priorities were wrong. Focusing on the smaller characters instead of giving us the Trinity & JL”
Bro started with Superman, was
introducing Wonder Woman 2 years later with a Batman film on the way all within 3 years of the first DCU movie.
But apparently… “he had time” 💀
It’s funny how this is going to be used as ammunition for Ellison to prove that Gunn needed to step down and he’s making the right call by prioritizing heavy hitters… as if we didn’t find out literally YESTERDAY that this was already GUNN’S PLAN😭
We were just informed that Man of Tomorrow would introduce Wonder Woman who’d later get her own movie, Brave and The Bold was set to release in 2028, and future Superman films would branch out into a Justice League movie.
Ellison is literally just taking Gunn’s ideas and calling it his own to make himself look better.
"Superman didn't have an impact on pop culture"
*film about hope and kindness while calling out the Palestinian Genocide*
*proceeds to fire gunn and replace him with a Christian maga nut who cares about what their conservative grandma would think*
Sure buddy
James Gunn and Peter Safran will no longer run DC Studios
Gunn’s statement:
“My time at DC Studios has been trying, to say the least. I dislike the at-times corporate nature of the job … [I’m] incredibly relieved and excited to get back to pure filmmaking”
