Why yes, I did fight this title to do a “DC” reference. James Gunn’s DC Gunnverse has faltered out of the gate. An animated ensamble where only one character is remembered, a Superman who isn’t very super, a Supergirl even less so, and nobody is excited for the Greenless Lantern series if they know and like anything associated with the Green Lantern Corp. There was also news this week that Supergirl is already heading to digital home video release, and probably streaming not soon after, only a month out while some of the worst superhero movies of the past few years have now outpaced it in box office receipts. As Bleeding Fool contributor Jamison Ashley notes, Gunn suffers from a lack of promise keeping, which is not only a problem for his credibility but fan reaction to his questionable take of the DC Universe. Between him and Zack Snyder, Warner Brothers is not doing a good job trying to compete with Marvel Studios, when they should be learning the lessons Disney-period Marvel has forgotten.
