It’s painfully obvious by now that Gunn isn’t keeping Gal Gadot, especially with her recent comments, and it’s been apparent for quite a while now that Aquaman 2 will be Jason Momoa’s last time as that particular character, and that he’ll likely be Lobo in the DCU. Let’s not beat around the bush here. Gunn has his own vision for his DCU, and it doesn’t involve anything from the previous universe, except for the projects that he was personally responsible for. By the way, for all the people who say that the failure of The Flash is definitive proof that a reboot is the only way to go, there might be some truth to that, but the movie’s failure was partially self-inflicted. More people would’ve gone to see it on OW if it weren’t part of a dead universe. At this point, I’m almost convinced that Gunn announced Andy Muschietti for BatB last Thursday because he was aware of this.

I learned about the ending with Clooney a few weeks ago, but now that I can safely talk about it, I’ll just go ahead and say that I don’t understand the point of it. The initial ending they shot would’ve revealed that Keaton and Calle are now part of the main DCEU timeline. I know that scene was meant to establish the new status quo moving forward, which is moot now, but at least that ending would’ve given some kind of closure for those two. Did they really decide to end the movie on a joke, just to ensure that no one would want another movie from this universe?

There’s no evidence that BvS had any lingering effect on the public perception of DC as a brand. It doesn’t seem to have hurt Batman’s popularity. Hell, Black Adam saw a noticeable boost in pre-sales in its final week based solely off the news that Henry Cavill was in it. It still flopped, but it made more at the box office than it had any right to. In any case, the DCEU is officially dead, so I can only hope people won’t continue to blame Snyder if (remember, I said if) Superman: Legacy makes less than GotG.

I’ve said this before, but again, WW and AM managed to be breakout hits, and even the first Suicide Squad did really well, despite awful reviews, and having immediately followed BvS. Snyder left back in 2017. He had nothing to do with the creative decisions made during Walter Hamada’s tenure. You can’t keep using him as a convenient scapegoat.

I’ve always been of the opinion that Dreamworks pretty much killed the G rating. The first Shrek movie was a big hit that had the kind of crude and edgy humor you wouldn’t typically see in a Disney animated film, and everyone tried to copy it, to the point where they began to avoid the G rating like a plague.
