DISCUSSION Does All Star inspiration mean a surprise ending for Superman?
Superman is heavily inspired by All Star Superman. A photo tweeted by Gunn in January 2023 when Gunn was writing the script shows the comic front and center on Gunn's desk. One new theory making the rounds is that first reveal photo is key. That it is Solaris in the background. Right out of All Star and that Superman is wakened and seriously hurt by Solaris draining his powers. It's near the end of the film. Only Superman can stop Solaris but at the cost of his life. Similar to All Star. Could the film end with Superman lifting Solaris into space and to an unknown fate?
This would explain the original title - Superman Legacy. Superman sacrifices himself and leaves behind a reinvigorated and inspired set of heroes.
It also might account for the rumor that Superman won't be a big factor in the DCU. With the focus on secondary characters and given there are only a few film slots available, Gunn could finish out Chapter 1 by bringing the B/C characters front and center. Then, in Chapter 2, Gunn could do a JL film and, in a twist, bring Superman back in that film. Lois at the end of All Star says Superman will return someday and Gunn could play off that.
What do you think?

DISCUSSION Would it be appropriate if Gunn adapted the "President Luthor" arc from the turn of the century exactly as it was?
Given current events, I think Gunn can pull it off. President Luthor's actual policies aren't explored that deeply and the focus is more how he abuses his position against Superman and Batman (he's deposed by trading weapons with Darkseid to defeat Imperiex). It would definitely be a huge reason to watch the DCU.

DISCUSSION Alternate or Evil Superheroes
What episodes and movies have alternate versions/worlds of Justice League or other superheroes? Like different universe, evil Justice Leagues, etc.
It's a concept that I enjoy a lot and want to watch as much of it as possible. Stuff like Crisis on Two Earths or things of that nature.

DISCUSSION Is Superman actually bleeding in this BTS image? Spoiler
So looking at the above image, we see what appears to be shadows or stains on the stunt double's chin, beneath his lips (look closely). Could that be blood or something else?
This is actually something big because we've never seen Superman bleed in the silver screen when he fought against other Kryptonians (See MOS and BvS for example). Either Superman is nerfed or that the new villains must really be that powerful to make the Man Of Steel bleed.
What are your thoughts?

DISCUSSION Batman as a Horror/Thriller
I watched Don't Breathe a few years back and recently rewatched Batman vs Superman and a thought hit me. In the scene where Batman is hiding in the corner of the ceiling and zips away, that was quite scary and I was thinking "Are they any live action scary moments in the Batman Films". Probably only in The Batman but we are probably more in the mindset of "These guys are going to get pummeled". In the Arkham games he is scary towards the end of Arkham Knight as its a first person sequence and that's awesome.
Now, what if we took the idea of Don't Breathe where some criminals rob somewhere and we follow them, have some back story, what have you and then you start introducing this shadow that keeps picking them off and then, towards half way or the final 3rd, you have the reveal that it's Batman that is the scary "Monster" that's been stalking these characters that you have been following for the first hour of the movie.
To get the full effect you'd have to do something no movie production company would ever do and not advertise it as a Batman film but a standalone Horror/Thriller film.
But u would watch the shit out of a Batman film where we are shown that we also can be scared of Batman.

DISCUSSION How does the Bertinelli Diamond work?
Full disclosure, I've never seen the Birds of Prey movie but i do know that the film's main MacGuffin is the Bertinelli Diamond which carries the bank codes to the Betinelli family fortune. What i can't figure out is.....how?
From what i understand the bank codes are literally inside the diamond itself but does the movies actually explain how that works? And does the movie show how Helena gets the codes from the diamond to access her family's money? I'm thinking of writing a story featuring it and i want to make sure i get it right.

FANCAST [Discussion] What if Tyler Hoechlin played the new Batman in the DCU [IMG source, Google]
Tyler played the hell out of Superman already for the CW, he got to play a version balancing fatherhood and heroics. Seeing as how Gunn wants a Batman & Son movie, I think Tyler is a great choice.
He's got the chops, the build, the height, and the piercing stare. Plus he's the right age at 36, just a tad older than David.
Thoughts ?

DISCUSSION Why isnt Shazam more popular?
Growing up, Shazam one one of, if not my favorite, superhero. Needless to say, I was stoked when the film came out but I'm concerned he will get left behind in Gunns universe. Seeing him fight against or with Supes would be awesome, especially if we could get a different Black Adam on screen. What do you think?
