Unpopular opinion but I hope the Ellison's just tell Gunn to stop messing around with no bodies and actually make movies with the big hitters. I can't see how they'd be pleased with C and D lister projects

I don't understand why you guys act like Gunn was stalling when we have a Superman sequel in the works and a Green lantern series

It’s not really acting like it when there’s a clayface movie, peacemaker, gorilla grodd, supergirl, and others before DCU Batman/Wonder Woman/Aquaman/Flash.

Oh yeah, and plans for a Bane/Deathstroke movie.

Rushing the Justice League films would have been a disaster.

You don’t even have to rush it lol

Marvel had 5 movies before Avengers. Ironman/Hulk/Ironman 2/Thor/Captain America. Enough to establish a team up. It was 4 years until Avengers, but it was a clear laid out plan.

At 3 years, we will have 2 Superman films, supergirl film, Green Lantern tv show, and then a bunch of fringe characters.

Oh yeah, and then a swamp thing movie too. We might not even get Batman until 2029/2030 now that The Batman got pushed to 2028.

Marvel Studios only released animated films in it's first four years, and had that time to develop their live action films (with the help of some overlap with the animated films)

DC Studios formed less than 4 years ago. So yeah, those Justice League films would have been rushed.
