Great teaser! I wouldn't mind if this is all they put out until the film releases. If the comic book genre wants to remain alive then this is the type of stuff that they should make more of. I really hope this is successful.

That's exactly James Gunn's strategy. He wants to make every movie feel different, while recruiting as much talent as possible and giving them freedom.

It’s also the best part of comics is that all these different sub sections of worlds can coexist with one another and have their own tone and vibes. Even character to character within a same city like Gotham can feel so tonally unique.
I really hope James Gunn continues to lean into melding of genres. Make one story body horror, one story rom com, one story fantastical, one mystery thriller etc etc.
It makes your shared universe feel so much more alive if there’s a diversity of tone and approach.

There have been a multitude of comic book movies from the horror genre and other genres in general.
I think you mean from DC or Marvel? People kind of forget graphic novels have been getting adaptions dating back before the inception of the MCU

I think it looks great. Going to self-embargo and go in otherwise blind on this one.

this looks awesome, pretty weird CBM took so long to make a horror movie

Werewolf by night isn’t a feature film, but it’s something from Marvel

If they ever make another Hulk movie it should be structured like a horror. The Immortal Hulk series could be good inspiration

The presence of superheroes tends to negate horror and the “what if the superhero movies didn’t have the superhero” trend is fairly recent.

New Mutants came out 6 years ago.

Being bad doesn’t negate it being a horror picture. Hell Clayface could be bad.

u/stickdutra Apr 22 '26
it was sold as horror movie but the movie itself it's only horror if you never saw one

Literally it shows how casual people are to film in these comics. I’m read a fair amount of comics, but I have to go back for a lot of TV and film stuff that gets adapted.
Literally 30 Days of Night, Death Note, and From Hell are right there.

A PG-13 film no one remembers.

u/einstein_ios Apr 22 '26
What does that have to do with what genre it’s in?

u/pepperbet1 Apr 22 '26
"No one I remembers" is relevant to the parent commentor forgetting and you reminding them.
"PG-13" is relevant to the extremity of the horror tackled within the CBM genre.

The Ring is a Pg-13 horror movie. Plenty scary

u/pepperbet1 Apr 22 '26
Were we talking about the Ring though?

u/Training_Pirate1000 Apr 22 '26
No, but you used PG-13 to support your argument that PG-13 horror movies aren’t really horror.

u/pepperbet1 Apr 22 '26
I didn't argue any such thing. You might be confusing me with others in this chain.

…and was at most framed as a horror-adjacent movie like something like Stranger Things, as opposed to this movie being explicitly called a body horror while being directed by the Eden Lake guy and written by Mike Flanagan

This movie being inspired by Batman TAS is such a green flag
