DC Comics Multimedia General - A crisis of infinite fuck ups

But The Tick rules

Absolutely, but part of what makes that character work is his empty mind. Which doesn't work for Supes because the writers have different intentions.

Superman you can drop into anything and it’ll be cool. He doesn’t have the structural requirements Batman or Spider-Man have.

And they insist on doing the same plot over and over again. He’s gonna fight a guy with his exact same powers, in every single movie.

According to Hollywood, Superman only has 2 villains. Please understand, it is very hard to make a new story when the cast is so limited.

The one thing I guess I can give Gunn credit for is Superman 2 will finally use an actual Superman villain that isn’t Lex or Zod, it being Maxima is certainly a choice however.

The continued lack of the Collector of Worlds is insane. We got “Doomsday” and not-Bizarro before Brainiac.

Fuck sakes, Mass Effect ripped off Brainiac wholesale with the Reapers and the Sovereign reveal is still one of the best moments ever in gaming.

Yet another W that could’ve been DC’s, wasted.

i am too busy enjoying the destruction of DC's repeated attempts at a cinematic universe to lament its failing

If we are talking a cinematic universe, I can at least understand Brainiac being left on the table for a big event film. If we were to parse DC into phases, Brainiac is certainly a Justice League 2 threat, too big for a first film, but isn’t Darkseid level to be the big finisher.

That said, it is sad knowing we almost had Brainiac twice between Burton/Smith Superman and Returns 2. It is insane that he never appeared in a Superman film at this point nor does there seem to be plans for him currently. We will get Maxima before one of Supe’s biggest names.

Edit: I guess Brainiac is in Man of Tomorrow by Gunn. I was wrong.

not-Bizarro

Seriously Gunn, why create a dumb clone and not have it be Bizarro? WTF is up with your universe?

 

[The Question]

Sydney Sweeney would've been too "right wing coded" for the redditverse they're trying to build.

She's a better Power Girl anyways.

You are missing the obvious:

• Sydney Sweeney is seen as a racist right wing nazi by leftists because they are dents.
• Power Girl is normally Supergirl from an alternate dimension.
• What is the one alternate dimension we already established within the DCU?

I rest my case.

Nah, Brainiac never should be a JL threat. Anytime DC tries it comes across as "off" like trying to make The Riddler into a JL threat. Brainiac is a Superman villain, hell he's one of the first villains that Superman generally fights solo in his career. No need to keep him for a JL movie.
