Matt Reeves is busy expanding his Gotham empire with The Batman Part II, The Penguin season two, and more villain spinoffs. James Gunn insists it’ll never touch the DCU, but the math doesn’t add up. Audiences want clarity, executives want streamlining, and Gunn already cracked the multiverse door with Peacemaker. Sooner or later, these worlds are colliding — the only question is whether it happens on Reeves’ and Gunn’s terms, or in a boardroom mandate.
The Batman Part II Script Is Done—and That’s Bad for Superman
Superman is supposed to relaunch the DC Universe, but Matt Reeves just handed in his Batman Part II script—and suddenly all eyes are on Gotham again. With The Penguin thriving on HBO Max and Superman marketing falling flat, DC may be watching its flagship hero get overshadowed before he even gets off the ground.

Elseworlds stories may work in comics, but throwing multiple disconnected timelines into DC’s cinematic relaunch is a recipe for disaster. If everything is “what if,” then nothing matters—and the audience won’t stick around to figure it out.
The Clock Is Ticking for Pattinson’s Batman at DC Studios
James Gunn says Batman is his “biggest issue” in building the DCU—but it’s not just creative frustration, it’s a brewing power struggle.

Man of Steel Walked So James Gunn Could Soft-Reboot
James Gunn’s new Superman trailer promises a fresh start—but it looks a lot like the past. With visual echoes of Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, this reboot feels less like a bold new vision and more like a brighter remix of Zack Snyder’s playbook.
Superman Fans Beg for Silence—But Isn’t That What They Hated About WB?
As excitement builds for James Gunn’s Superman trailer, some fans are trying to shut down criticism before the footage even drops—circulating memes that encourage total silence toward “negative” opinions.

When fans are told to “just consume and obey,” we stop being part of a conversation and start acting like unpaid brand ambassadors. Superman deserves better than blind loyalty.
