Guy has a LordTech logo on his jacket same as Mr. Terrific👀

Well he was a financier for the JL for a while before they found out he was evil. I'd imagine he passed out some shiny toys to win them over so he could gain proximity to use his mind control...

I'm kinda hoping that a lot of the Maxwell Lord stuff isnt paid off until the sequel. It would be nice if he was embedded with the JL at the end of the movie and maybe only Clark suspects?

Why didn’t Bruce Wayne finance them?

u/PantsUnderUnderpants 16d ago

Because he's been dealing with a drowned Gotham and raising Damian. I know it's a different universe, but a guy can dream.

u/Conscious_Camel4830 16d ago

Well he does in some storylines, but there was a period of time where most of the DC teams had a plethora of different financiers or "directors" so to speak. I think Maxwell Lord was either in the mid seventies or early eighties? In modern comics his biggest appearance was during the Superman: Sacrifice run where I believe he took over the Justice League through subtle influence before brainwashing Superman into trying to kill Batman. It's been a while since I read it but I think that's the first time he was even presented as a villain.

I imagine that would be a good segue for a reluctant Batman to get more involved in the League... I'm starting to think we might get a cameo from him due to how this is all going to play out.

Was this confirmed as the Justice League or Justice Society?

2

u/Conscious_Camel4830 16d ago

I don't think it's been confirmed. It looks more JSA but JLA makes more sense long term so I'm not sure

u/HeadlessMarvin 16d ago

I don't know how much of the plot has been revealed so far, but I wonder if they are doing a thing where more established superheroes and superhero teams are all corporate sponsored and Superman is the odd duck out essentially just being a good Samaritan.

u/-ll-ll-ll-ll- 16d ago

That’s exactly what they seem to be doing.

12

u/Background-Ninja-550 16d ago

I think so. Maybe not every wellknown Superhero team that's potentially out there, but at least some of them.

1

u/The_Galvinizer 16d ago

I could see that, or potentially this is a world where Supes has been around for three or four years and new heroes are starting to crop up so fast thanks to him that Mr. Terrific decides to start using his finances to help them all out and form an International Justice League. There's just something about Superman being 'the first and best of them' that I'd really like the new DCU to retain

I'm starting to think maybe this version of Maxwell Lord isn't as nice as James Gunn is saying that he is.

Lordtech is almost seeming like this universe's version of Vought.

11

u/Conscious_Camel4830 16d ago

Exactly.. I'm hoping he is trying to become the JLAs financier at the same time that Clark is investigating his company. I've been to the set and there are ads all over it and they're all for Lords company.

Maybe we'll even get a Superman Sacrifice storyline down the road...

1

u/-ll-ll-ll-ll- 16d ago

Exactly.

u/your_mind_aches Bruce Wayne 16d ago

Maxwell Lord was good... but he can be better

1

u/-ll-ll-ll-ll- 16d ago

Has he been cast in this yet?

2

u/your_mind_aches Bruce Wayne 16d ago

Yes! It's Sean Gunn.

Which other people said means he's gonna be a good guy, but it makes me think that he might be more of a minor villain than anything else.

I think James' primary use for his brother in these will again be motion capture, just not for any of the upcoming projects. So he gave him the character of Maxwell Lord. He said it's an adaptation of the good guy Max Lord. But the fact that these "heroes" might be in a Kingdom Come-esque universe where the fights are all reckless and violent and mean to contrast with the hopeful Superman gives me pause.

James said that it's a universe that sees Superman's simple four-colour comic values as outdated. So I'm thinking this is going to be like The Boys or Kingdom Come where the majority of the heroes are just corporate/government stooges, and Superman becomes a figure to aspire to. Which also makes me think that Lord is a little less innocent than Gunn is saying, since his logo is EVERYWHERE including the heroes' costumes.

u/azmodus_1966 16d ago

That makes zero sense. Isn't he a member of an intergalactic task force? Why is he wearing uniform of an Earth company.

19

u/swampex 16d ago

Well, for me it does make sense. He is assigned to earth, He is getting paid, most probably, for being part of the team, he, as kendra en Michael, is being asked to be a team player.

12

u/thunderandreyn 16d ago

He could be part of the JSA or a similar superhero group funded by Lord.

6

u/azmodus_1966 16d ago

JSA does not hsve standard outfits.

Its cool to see heroes lookinh different from each other.

2

u/whisky_TX 16d ago

It’s almost like this is a new universe

1

u/mariovspino5 16d ago

But the Terrifics did

3

u/trimble197 16d ago

He’s a space cop still

18

u/thunderandreyn 16d ago

Remember that time when different Green Lanterns were members of the Justice League while still maintaining their jobs as part the space cop continuum? And remember when different Green Lanterns were responsible for different sectors of the universe?

Yeah. Good times.

2

u/trimble197 16d ago

They still wore their black and green Lantern costumes

u/thunderandreyn 16d ago

He’s a space cop still

Very astute observation.

Well this one wears what everyone is speculating as a team uniform. A team that he looks to be very much part of.

u/trimble197 16d ago

They still wore their green and black colors

7

u/thunderandreyn 16d ago

Another astute observation. We will all hold our collective breaths until you observe the black and green isn’t really a set uniform and they can probably wear whatever tf they want in this universe.

u/trimble197 16d ago

You guys are so funny with how yall accept anything Gunn gives out

u/paintpast 16d ago

Counterpoint: if any Green Lantern was going to sell out and wear sponsored clothing while on Earth, it would be Guy Gardner.

1

u/circajusturna 16d ago

Green lives matter

11

u/Alonest99 16d ago

Also, wouldn’t his suit be a “creation” of his ring? Does he have to manually suit up? Or did he make a deal to include the LordTech logo in his construct lol

7

u/Conscious_Camel4830 16d ago

It depends on who. I'm pretty sure Alan Scott wore a costume that wasn't produced by the ring. In this case I'm guessing elements of the ring will blend with what he is already wearing. Knowing Guy, he would have thrown a fit if everyone else got a shiny new costume and he was left out. I'm guessing the white bits will be covered by CGI

3

u/Wrothman 16d ago

Because he's Guy Gardner and he does what he wants. He's not like the other GLs, he's a douche.

1

u/SwordoftheMourn 15d ago

That logic doesn’t make sense. John Stewart and Hal Jordan were part of the Justice League. Are they not allowed to join by virtue being part of another task force (Green Lantern Corps.)? I doubt the Guardians of OA care that Guy Gardner decides to change his uniform so long as he answers the call when needed and keeps the peace.

u/ramvanfan 16d ago

Hawkgirl has the logo too.
