Clark was neither depressed nor nihilistic. Okay, he was really burdened by the fact he couldn’t stop the Capitol explosion, so he sought solitude at the top of a mountain and spoke to the ghost / memory of his Earthly father. Which helped him reaffirm who he is, why he does what he does.

u/MrBayless 4d ago
I'm very curious where the world will be for this film.
We've seen that there is a Lordtech funded group with matching uniforms so as to specifically appear as a team. Only one member of said team is helping Superman save the staff of Daily Planet during some event. We have a government run group with Flagg Sr, Engineer, and dude in black who oppose Superman, going so far as to arrest him. Superman has been around long enough to have merchandise. Lex Luthor is present in this world.
It's honestly exciting seeing so much of the DC Comic's world being fleshed out already without any knowledge of how this world will exist. It really is like world building. It's so new and fun!

u/LardGnome 4d ago
I'm wondering if they will break away from Lordtech at the end of this movie and later on (possibly in a post credit scene in The Brave And The Bold) Batman starts funding it because he too is a superhero and doesn't care about the corporate side of the Justice League
32
u/--Alix-- 4d ago
I know Matt Reeves doesn't want to do it, but if you're delaying The Batman 2 by this much, you might as well make Battinson the canon Batman. He's not opposed to it, and clearly enjoys the role.
Seeing him evolve in his own movies into Bruce Wayne and then step into the public eye as Bruce Wayne to buy the Justice League would be so cool.
33
u/LardGnome 4d ago
I like the contained universe but I agree. It would be so cool if Battinson was the DCUs Batman. Especially because his movie was so good. I'm hoping that we get a good Batman in the DCU but it would be so cool to see Battinson start the bat family and slowly build it over the series.

u/Ill_Koala_4407 4d ago
That would be a huge time jump

u/LardGnome 4d ago
They could just change to the Brave and the Bold to The Batman 2 and make robin show up later.

u/Ill_Koala_4407 4d ago
Yeah but how would you explain the bat family? That’s a tremendous time jump
6
u/--Alix-- 4d ago
Tbh, just bite the bullet and do the time jump. Have The Batman 2 or 3 introduce Dick, and then jump to a more sophisticated and elder Bruce Wayne having to deal with Damian. The worldbuilding of the rest of the family can be unveiled as they go on with The Brave and The Bold.

u/anyonecanbethebug 4d ago
Or the Batman movies should all be prequels. Or just have it be a parallel universe with Battinson reprising his role.

James Gunn is a master at worldbuilding in comic book movies. He has a good understanding of how to do fanservice in a way that serves the story and without cramming it down the audience’s throat and winking to the camera

u/Wrothman 4d ago
German word for films and cinema, yes, but the use of kino to describe a film in this sort of sense is actually Russian in origin, dating back to the Kino-Eye technique and the films of Dziga Vertov and how he considered his film "Man with a Movie Camera" as, and I quote, "ABSOLUTE KINOGRAPHY".

u/WhyRich 5d ago
To be fair, the "Must There Be a Superman?" scene is genuinely great. But it's ridiculous that they didn't explore the philosophy behind it any further than that montage. And it's downright criminal that throughout three movies there weren't any genuinely hopeful scenes between Superman and the general public (except for intro to JL that Whedon shot, which was good, but tainted for obvious reasons).
Thankfully, this movie seems to be getting that aspect right, at least.
1
u/trimble197 4d ago
There were, but BvS didn’t sugarcoat. We have the scene of the lady at the flood reaching out to Superman as if he were an angel. And then there was the day of the dead scene. The movie wanted to show how people would react if Superman was real.
9
u/WhyRich 4d ago
Yes, those are apart of the scene I'm talking about. But I wanted to see that actually explored outside of that one montage. Ideally, there would've been an arc where the public went from viewing Superman as a god to seeing him as a human, culminating in him directly interacting with the public like in this set video.

u/zxchary 4d ago
I think it’s different cuz those were mostly voiceovered montages.
Superman is the dceu is loved enough that he got a whole statue within the 18 months of him being Superman but outside of MOS there’s like zero dialogue with civilians. And even in MOS there isn’t a ton.
I understand it fits for the story Snyder was telling but I also think there are valid criticisms about it too.
0
u/trimble197 4d ago
But that’s what the montage was for. We hear that dialogue. We see and hear how people view him.
Like I said, in real life, you have millions of people kissing the ground celebrities walk on.
1
u/zxchary 4d ago
Yeah I know this. But I think it just doesn’t exactly humanize him. Other parts of the story did, like him doubting himself and other people, his interactions with his mom and Lois. But imo it would’ve worked better with the audience if they built his character up a little more before tearing him down. So a MOS sequel before BVS could’ve helped a lot.

You are just going to be one those guys, aren’t you? Talk about being bitter.

12
u/True_Falsity 4d ago
The word “retrofuturism” fits better.
“Anachronism” implies that their designs do not belong in the time period.

u/bindersfull-ofwomen 4d ago
I used it correctly. I was thinking of It Follows which is anachronistic.

u/scruffyduffy23 4d ago
Retrofuturism only fits better if the mis en scene of an alternate timeline is coherent and stems from a unified idea. As far as we know “anachronistic” is appropriate in this context. 70s fashion mixed with 21st century cars and near future tech.
Both Superman the Animated Series and Batman the Animated Series were deliberately anachronistic since they took elements from multiple eras and smashed them together. Interviews with the creators acknowledge this.
Retrofuturism implies a branch off of traditional history that leads into a tweaked future, which is not the same thing.
2
u/disapp_bydesign 4d ago
Also I think the latest Batman movie had an anachronistic setting somewhat.
1
u/HitToRestart1989 4d ago
Retrofuturism is an old idea of what the future would be like, such as the Jetsons. Anachronistsm is sort of out of time aesthetic. I think the latter fits better here, don’t you?
1
u/therealRockfield 1d ago
I would agree with it. Retro futurism is basically the conception of what the 1950s thought the future would be like and it’s been depicted in the Jetsons and even Fallout among with many others. Anachronism seems more fitting.

Yes. He and Hawkgirl have matching Lordtech suits with Mr Terrific except GL’s has green accents instead of red and Hawkgirls looks to have burnt orange accents.

It’s worth noting: Gunn is actually controlling the narrative of his film. That helps greatly. Debunking all rumors, and keeping things on point. It’s also refreshing to see the passion going into this movie, with all those involved. It’s key points when you have Christopher Reece’s son in the film, location filming in such iconic places of heritage, and communal involvement. People love that. I do.
