Superman and Fantastic Four are embracing Silver Age nostalgia, but for who?

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. With Matt Reeves dragging his feet on The Batman Part II, Gunn is running out of patience and time. And while Superman might kick off this new universe, it’s Batman who really holds it together—and Gunn knows it.
James Gunn Is Willy Wonka, and Krypto Is the Golden Ticket

Don’t Look Up: What Andor Gets Right That Superman Still Doesn’t
In a single day, Andor gave us a raw, defiant finale while Superman offered polished nostalgia. One challenges us to fight back against power. The other asks us to wait for someone stronger to save us. But in 2025, maybe it’s time we stop looking up—and start looking around.
