    I’m so tired of the overly dark, brutal trend in DC.

    I’m excited for Gunn’s Superman. I hear he’s trying a wild new take: it’s supposedly based off an alternate version of Superman where he’s an optimistic, lovable hero that inspires people with his kindness and love for all.

      Honestly, the Boy Scout persona of classic Superman (excluding the comics about spanking Lois and torturing Jimmy Olson) is what we need in our current social climate.

      Just someone who does the right thing all the time, even though they have godlike power.

      Dc is terrible. Superman is a terrible superhero that you have no reason to root for at all. And all the dc movies are literally impossible to see anything in, they make everything so fucking dark it’s impossible to watch. Aquaman was terrible, most of the Batman movies are terrible. All just horrendous. The most recent Batman movie would have been good if they cut it an hour shorter.

          not angry, just don’t see how literally anyone likes DC at this point in time. And superman has literally never been a likable superhero. They had to give him weaknesses that made no sense because of how dumb the character is.
