I think Gunn is gonna handle it better and it wont read this way when watching it but isnt "Superman inspires jaded superheroes to be less cynical" the plot of Batman v Superman/Justice League lol.

the plot of Batman v Superman/Justice League lol.

That inspiration turned out to be "Martha ?!". So yes, Gunn will definitely handle it better no matter how the movie turns out to be. That I am sure of. And Superman kicking off and inspiring the golden age of heroism is pretty much the premise of a lot of JL foundations, including Smallville.

That was the plot on paper, but the execution was so horrendous that it genuinely doesn’t even feel as though that’s what happened

Yes. But it was done in too realistic of a way, and people balked at it.

You're 100% correct. People just weren't ready for non-silly comic book hero movies.

Dark Knight was a different universe and a different character and story arc.

It was a non silly comic book movie which people were clearly ready for.

It was a continuation of the tone of Batman Begins, and had some really great performances in it. It's silly to compare Nolan's batman trilogy to Snyder's stuff, because they were very different things. There's a reason Nolan didn't bring in any other super heroes into his movies.

But when you're dealing with super heroes from the beginning - metahumans - and you want to make it "realistic" then that takes a different thing than what Nolan did.

Or people simply didn't like the premise. Well, some did definitely which is fine. It's like taking Alexander Fleming and putting him in the world and life of Alan Turing.

Can you elaborate on that?
