This is my preferred take too and while post crisis lex was older then Clark, I don't have to much difficulty believing they could be similar ages, especially if lex is a modern tech billionaire.
I like that, I believe a part of what makes Lex work is that he is (or at least perceives himself to be) self-made. He achieved his fortune and status through his own means and āearnedā and ādeservedā it, while in his opinion, Superman just flies in and gets all the praise with none of the work
The no kill rule is so weird because literally last night I was reading World's Finest and Batman coordinated a whole plan to kill Newmazo which is a sentient AI...
Bro has no idea that Transformers comics have historically been pleasantly and consistently progressive since IDW took over, almost every couple I can think of is a gay or lesbian couple, and there are multiple trans characters, and at least 1 nonbinary character I can think of. The comics and shows have explored so many topics conservatives hate. There's even a couple of transformers with autism which means alot to me personally.
If you're interested, then definitely. You don't really need any prior knowledge to understand the story or themes, you just won't have context for some referential stuff. It's still a good self-contained story so far.
Well, this wouldāve been after 2018, AKA the time were DC saw that Aquaman was their best money-maker somehow, so Iād say theyād given him a big push wish many lego sets.
I think the JL won't be a thing yet, at least in any official sense. Some people have theorized that the JSA and the JLU will exist as prototype versions of the JL
The good news is that WB canāt interfere like before. DC films are now made under DC studios, Gunn and Safran have final say. So thereās no WB meddling, the ones in charge are Gunn and Safran
Mods cooked. Def gonna be Damien, Blue Beetle, Beast Boy, Raven maybe 1 or 2 more and ideally with Nightwing and Starfire either on the team or mentoring
Yea, the movie is about a child can create anything from his own imagination. so it makes sense that story should be also be told in the medium where you can create anything from your own imagination.
Like, they should be spending 90 million, get a great animation director and team and create a unique visual style with a solid 90 minute story because this property so inherently lends itself to that. But even if they made some generic illumination knock off animated movie itād make more sense than making it live action starring Zachary Levi?? Iām genuinely bewildered at how they came to this decision.
Exactly. Such a baffling choice honestly, the story works because of the childlike imagination and the merging of artstyles, and this movie is gonna have none of that š
Two things. Who will be cast for H.E.R.B.I.E.'s voice, and will the film be set in the 1960s? If it is set in the past I bet the events of Secret Wars will bring the family and probably Doom to the modern day. They can have a "Man out of time" style arc like Cap did.
Whats wrong with protein
That guy made a Reddit account like 5 hours ago just to comment absolute nonsense, peak jerker if Iāve ever seen one

Absolutely love this
Yea I got that as well
The no kill rule is so weird because literally last night I was reading World's Finest and Batman coordinated a whole plan to kill Newmazo which is a sentient AI...
I read that a couple days ago as well, itās so so good

Would you recommend it to someone like me who doesnāt know really anything about transformers? Iāve seen a few panels and the art looks cool
If you're interested, then definitely. You don't really need any prior knowledge to understand the story or themes, you just won't have context for some referential stuff. It's still a good self-contained story so far.
Ok cool thank you
So you are saying making all 3 leads women is prioritizing a political message but having more men in the lead roles wouldn't be?
Thatās the thing, there isnāt any
Really curious how they would have handled aquaman
Well, this wouldāve been after 2018, AKA the time were DC saw that Aquaman was their best money-maker somehow, so Iād say theyād given him a big push wish many lego sets.
True yea they said heād have a big part, Iām just more curious how he would have been written and what the dynamic of the JL team is like
Iām referring to large corporations such as Disney excluding white males in their movies.
Itās true that the recent movies are more racially diverse than in the past
No, it's not. It's like someone else said, its performative diversity. Fucking morons like you are the reason.
What would ānon-performativeā diversity look like in this case
Iām kind of impressed how the AI made it look like a Actual episode tbh
Yea I thought that was real for a second
Aperantly we would see how Batman and Superman met and how the Justice League was formed.
Late response, but Iām obsessed with this movie and so sad it never got made
None of these, sorry.
I think the universe can still be well-established, Gunn has said superheroes have been around for awhile
But in the minds of the audience?
I see what you mean. But I wonder if we can still have that lineup you mention?
I've heard it speculated that Hawkgirl might replace Swift, rather than have two characters off the jump that are "Lady with wings."
Iād rather have hawkgirl in the JL
I think the JL won't be a thing yet, at least in any official sense. Some people have theorized that the JSA and the JLU will exist as prototype versions of the JL
I agree Iād prefer the JL to not exist yet so we can see them together

Ultimately answerable only to Zaslav, right?
I believe so
Mods cooked. Def gonna be Damien, Blue Beetle, Beast Boy, Raven maybe 1 or 2 more and ideally with Nightwing and Starfire either on the team or mentoring
Idk Xolo will prob be like 25 by the time they film this
A 25yr can play a teen
Maybe, but heās already established as being a college grad in the blue beetle movie
Justā¦ why the fuck is this not animated and directed towards children
Yea, the movie is about a child can create anything from his own imagination. so it makes sense that story should be also be told in the medium where you can create anything from your own imagination.

Animal Man (Any form... live action or animated, movie or TV show, all could work)
I agree.
According to leaks, weāre getting The Question and Teen Titans, which Iām excited about.
uj/ Creature Commandos and Waller are probably also canon to both the DCEU and the new DCU, somehow.
Creature Commandos and anything after isnāt DCEU canon, only DCU.
Lego lex luthor is just kinda always peak.
To think we would have had him as the main villain in the lego Batman sequel but WB didnāt want peak fiction

I donāt think itās really easier or cheaper in 3D.
Check the magazine Ben is reading. Itās an LBJ life magazine from 1963
Again, that doesnāt confirm anything. This whole promo art is a mid-century throwback. That doesnāt mean the film itself will be.
Thatās fair
Two things. Who will be cast for H.E.R.B.I.E.'s voice, and will the film be set in the 1960s? If it is set in the past I bet the events of Secret Wars will bring the family and probably Doom to the modern day. They can have a "Man out of time" style arc like Cap did.
Yep, seems like itāll be set in the 60s. Looks like Ben is reading this life magazine from 1963
Will they be the main JL in his new universe?
I hope we have the main JL (Superman, Batman, WW, flash, etc) as the main JL, and JLI as like a separate side team/reserve squad
I don't know if Robert Pattinson is DCU Batman, but I like the idea.
Heās not, Gunn confirmed it
