Why would we “need” to know spoilers? You gotta think before you write sometimes, because half the headlines on this site feel like word salads lol

Ok, the middle east subplot rumor has already been debunk.

Also, I doubt they'd go through all the trouble of building up lex gaining Martian powers only to have brainiac be the real villain.

I don't know. The more I read of this movie the more crowded it feels.

@Clara009 - sadly, I am getting that feeling as well. I really wish Gunn would save Brainiac for the 1st Justice League movie and use a couple of other Supes' villains as kind of a warm-up (Metallo, Parasite, Livewire, Bizarro, Lobo, ect).

Hoping Nick is brainiac and they go older for lex luthor

@Matchesz - Who would be your choice for Lex?

Apex Luthor sounds terrible imo.
After autistic whiny wimpy Luthor in BVS, we'd supposedly get a Luthor who can physically stand toe to toe with Superman?



How about giving us a briliant, cold, calcuating, businessman Luthor who is calm and collected and all about mentally and spiritually breaking Superman?
It really sucks, because we've never seen that Luthor on the big screen, with Hackman (not really) coming the closest to pulling it off.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the States, and to the rest of you, happy Thursday! 🤪

@Feralwookiee - this is exactly what they need to do - the cold calculating Lex. we’ve never seen it in the movies, it’s who the character is, and if they jump to Lex with powers then Gunn’s universe will be DOA for the majority of audiences.

Rumor has it superhero movies are on the way out, and DC blew its only chance to ride the wave.

I hope that if Lex and Brainiac show up, they're used to a bare minimum. Maybe even just to a scene each showing they're only pulling strings at best.

Rather see new characters (on screen atleast) be the villains. A Superman vs. Authority conflict sounds pretty compelling. Especially if it's done like Superman vs the Elite.

@bkmeijer1 - i would love to see metallo done on screen. Would be like superman vs terminator. Manchester Black would be ccool too. You could even do a take on red son and make him cyborg superman who thinks he is the real superman and that the other one is a threat.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 11/24/2023, 1:29 AM
@CaptainFlapjaks - I like those ideas (especially Metallo), but I also wanna see them so something completely new.

If they ever do Red Son though, I wouldn't mind it if they brought back Cavill for that.
CaptainFlapjaks
CaptainFlapjaks - 11/24/2023, 2:05 PM
@bkmeijer1 - yeah cavill would work for red son.
CaptainFlapjaks
CaptainFlapjaks - 11/24/2023, 2:08 PM
@bkmeijer1 - honestly, metallo should have been the villain for bvs. He has kryptonite to weaken superman but is still someone batman can fight somewhat realistically with the use of gadgets. Better choice than doomsday was.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 11/24/2023, 2:49 PM
@CaptainFlapjaks - never thought about that, but that actually could've worked a lot better. They even still could've used Zod to turn into a cyborg
CaptainFlapjaks
CaptainFlapjaks - 11/24/2023, 5:25 PM
@bkmeijer1 - yeah i was hoping lex would be using his body to create bizarro but then the trailer showed us doomsday. I dont know why they would put doomsday in the trailer. Anything doomsday related basically falls back to "oh i guess superman is dying in this one". And that is also an enemy you build up to. Like that should have been the final solo movie or a jl part 2 ending where darkseid unleashes doomsday on earth after his defeat. A final "f you" to supes and the league.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 11/24/2023, 5:39 PM
@CaptainFlapjaks - and it also took away attention from the titular conflict. Should've just kept it about the two coming to blows. Just don't see why it also had to be the Death of Superman, especially with him staying dead no longer than one movie.
CaptainFlapjaks
CaptainFlapjaks - 11/24/2023, 6:21 PM
@bkmeijer1 - yeah, i think if you are gonna do the death of superman, it needs to be an event. Something that has a lasting effect on the story for a while. If they wanted to do that this early, they should have killed him, and either in the batman, flash or wonder woman sequel they are protecting metropolis after supes death. Even luthor is trying to help out after seeing the error of his ways. Then you revive him in jl part 2 in the second or third act.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 11/24/2023, 6:24 PM
@CaptainFlapjaks - yup. Too bad they rushed it. Hope Gunn takes his time with both Batman vs Superman (or even Batman/Superman) and Death of Superman

Didn’t we have an article the other day of Gunn dismissing no. 5?
