I’d rather get into this for a little while than doom scrolling and depressing US politics. The DCU movies under Gunn is beginning, but Snyder fans have been complaining and lobbying to WB about not letting Snyder have the reins. I saw this years back on speculation on what might have been. How true it is, no one can say:
I just don’t see WB and Snyder do their own Phase 1 etc. intro movies, and it all leading up to a DC style Endgame movie. How many Marvel movies led into Endgame? Is the public going to watch 8-10 additional movies for the DCU? Too much.

Jason Pargin has some interesting vid snippets on story logistics.
Here he is speculating on what the world would be like if a Kal El existed and manifested itself.
It’s been covered almost 40 years ago by Alan Moore and his Watchmen world with Dr. Manhattan:@jasonkpargin 1 user thanked author for this post.

It always got to me how as much as Bruce trained in all the arts of combat that for all the prep time in some of the fights, the Joker actually got some hits in and almost killed him. Then I got into training that it doesn’t exactly prepare you for a street fighter where everything goes and there is no structure nor discipline. You can’t predict someone who has unorthodox, unpredictable moves. Like this:
So there is some “truth” to why Batman gets stabbed or decked by the Joker.

The thing is, corporate Marvel doesn’t actually want to go in bold new directions. Instead they want to continuously recycle old ideas in new packaging and hope that the consumer doesn’t notice. The only significant difference now is that they are giving work to people who are willing to work for a much lower rate than the previous standard, as a way to make profit without increasing sales. If you’re looking for innovative and competent writing, art and editing at Marvel these days, generally speaking, you’re looking in the wrong place.
