What Gunn did best of all was give us a world that felt lived-in.

• This wasn't the first clash between Lex and Superman but the first time they met in person.
• Superman is aware of other metahumans.
• The Justice Gang.

The little touches made the movie for me. Still he's been raving about not needing to see the "pearls hit the ground" or the "radio-active spider bite" for superhero movies, and I agree, but I don't think he subverted the established narrative devices used in prior Superman movies despite what he intended and claims.

The big hurdle is gonna be any of the non-Superman and non-Batman stuff. Supergirl is traditionally a dud and no one cares.

And Clayface? which is supposed to be a movie? If that ain't a fantastic movie, the DCU might be over before it begins. These monster budget movies needs to be massively successful.

Going to see it tomorrow!

Supergirl is traditionally a dud and no one cares.

Her show lasted six seasons, and the comic they're adapting Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow was widely acclaimed. The film was actually even supposed to come out much later, but James Gunn says they don't intend to start filming a project until the script is finalized, and he said they were surprised at how quickly a solid Supergirl script was completed.

"No one cared" (if we're generalizing) about the Guardians of the Galaxy pre-2014, so that excuse will always come off as weak to me.

Just came back from seeing it with my wife. We both loved it, and it got an applause from the audience. It definitely started off messy in the first 30 minutes, but once it found it's footing I ended up having a blast with it. It's not perfect by any means, but I think it nailed what it needed to nail.

One thing I am left confused,

Spoiler: Spoiler

did Jor-El really meant about the harem bit or because of video manipulation done by that Lex's nano tech goon.

Big hurdle?

All that means is she got the biggest pop at your theather. That doesn't guarantee her movie is going to be a big success, especially overseas.

there was no manipulation, just restoration.

I was hoping it was still fake but that made it even worse.

Just hoping the Guniverse last long enough for a real Flash movie
