James Gunn has built his brand on being the straight-talking, fan-friendly filmmaker who tells it like it is. But after the Peacemaker finale and his constant attempts to control the DCU narrative, that honesty is starting to look more like ego. He’s overhyping, underdelivering, and arguing with fans when he should be letting the work speak for itself. The best thing James Gunn could do right now? Stop talking.

Why Fans Shouldn’t Trust Scoop Culture—or James Gunn
James Gunn says Robin isn’t showing up in The Batman Part II, but fans should know better than to take that at face value. The rumor came from scooper Jeff Sneider, whose track record is mixed, but Gunn—now a studio co-head—has every reason to mislead when it comes to protecting a film’s secrets. In the world of scoop culture, half-truths and strategic denials are part of the game, and until we see set photos or a trailer, nobody outside the production really knows what’s true.
James Gunn Gave Us Superman. It’s Time to Give Us Closure.
Superman’s box office win marks a new beginning for DC Studios, but it’s also the perfect moment to right some old wrongs.

What Happened to the Krypto Golden Biscuit Winners? Nothing.
The Krypto Golden Biscuit Sweepstakes was supposed to be a charming throwback. Instead, it vanished without a winner, a whisper, or a second thought. With odds that bordered on absurd and a prize nobody seems to have claimed, the whole thing feels like a marketing stunt that never understood its audience — or its timing.
The Rock Tried to Hijack the DC Universe — And Lost
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson thought Black Adam would be his ticket to running the DC Universe — complete with Henry Cavill, power lunches, and a potential executive role for his producing partner.

Why Superman Needs to Fly Higher Than Just Ticket Sales
Superman (2025) isn’t just a reboot—it’s a stress test for the entire future of the DC Universe.

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.
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. With Matt Reeves dragging his feet on The Batman Part II, Gunn is running out of patience and time.

James Gunn Is Half-Right About Why Movies Are Dying
James Gunn says the movie industry is dying because studios keep filming without finished scripts—but that’s only half the story.
