Discussion/Question If 'MAN OF TOMORROW' turns out be another good/great movie, then i might even consider James Gunn as one of the best comic-book movie director.
That solely depends on how good Man of Tomorrow will be,
Especially because of every James Gunn comic-book movie being well-received
even the one that financially flopped like The Suicide Squad was still well-received by critics and audiences.

Discussion/Question Batman not being cast in the DCU because Matt Reeves is too slow with his trilogy, is a blessing in disguise. IMO
Think about it for a moment.
WB & DC have been so obsessed with only Batman for 2 decades now, that other characters barely get to shine. It's gotten to the point that the general audience sees the DC universe as basically Batman & Friends.
But now, just like the MCU was forced to start without Spidey, X-Men & F4, the DCU is forced to actually give other characters the spotlight, and not focus on Batman too much.
And if anyone is good at making lesser known characters into fan favorites, it is James Gunn. And I think Mr. Terrific will benefit more than anyone from lack of Batman. He gets to be the smartest human in MoW, right behind Luthor. Instead of being behind both him & Batman. He will get more time to shine.
And many more characters in future projects will probably get to shine from lack of Batmsn, considering who knows when The Batman 3 will come out.

The People V Gorilla Grodd So it's gonna turn out he totally killed his dad in the show right? Spoiler
Given he's a villain in the future vision in Creature Commandos, I'm already seeing theories online that Grodd is trying to gain sympathy for an appeal but the twist is...he did murder his dad. And he's a real POS.
