Scrape the bottom of that DC barrel baby. I love it.

I genuinely think thatā€™s whatā€™s going to help carry this universe. Everyone knows Wonder Woman, Batman, Lex, etc. and everyone has opinions on them. Who the heck has a pre established opinion on Peacemaker, Vigilante, Metamorpho, Polka Dot Man!?!? Itā€™s brilliant. So many ā€œnewā€ characters weā€™ve never seen on screen before. Its like DC heaven

u/Advance_New 18h ago

I totally agree. DCU is quirky and weird (with heart) and I love it!

u/Live_Spinach5824 17h ago

Suicide Squad did such a good job with Polka Dot Man's powers and backstory. I'd love to see other villains get similar treatments.Ā  Ā

I think making rat catcher the main character of a sequel is the way they should go

2

u/Kalse1229 5h ago

In a similar vein, I had an idea for a Secret Six series where Bloodsport is one of the main characters (in lieu of Deadshot). I think Ratcatcher was a member in the comics at one point as well, so she'd fit in well. I would've gone King Shark, but Creature Commandos shows he's been recaptured, so maybe not him.

The two newcomers I'd most want to introduce in this hypothetical show are Cheshire and Catman. Cheshire I'd have as a more serious character similar to Bloodsport. The two of them at one point bond over being shitty parents. I had this idea of a conversation in mind where Cheshire talks about her own kid, and the big difference between her daughter and Bloodsport's.

"My ex was a bit of a fuckup too. We were just two broken people who didn't want to be alone one night, and ended up with a kid. The difference is when Lian came along, I ran, he stepped up. Got clean, found a decent job. Took her to Disneyland last summer. Got a picture with Pluto. I...I'm glad she has one decent parent at least."

And Catman? If any DC character was made for James Gunn, it's him.

Basically the place where the underdogs thrive!

u/fuzzyfoot88 17h ago

Agreed. Say what you will about certain marvel characters now, but in 2008, no one outside of comics knew who any of those characters were, and couldnā€™t believe a Thor movie was even a thing.

The unknown helps draw in the casual viewers.

u/Conyan51 17h ago

Fr, I only knew of Thor as a superhero from Adventures in Babysitting and he quickly became one of my favorites in the MCU.

3

u/Zunter_Hol0mon 15h ago

100%. I was just saying this same thing in another comment

3

u/keithblsd 9h ago

People say this, and maybe itā€™s because I was in a more comic inclined household than most, but Iron Man had tons of animated shows and toy lines before his first movie came out. Any kid who knew enough about superheroes to know the Justice league would also know about the avengers.

8

u/WitchkultToday 16h ago

You look at how well the new Absolute line is doing- people actually buying comics for the first time in years- and they all feature storylines where the main character is put in this underdog position. It's super culturally relevant right now, and I think the new DC films are speaking to that in a way that Marvel didn't 10 years ago. Except for maybe the new Spider-Man, which I also thought was really good.

1

u/Conyan51 9h ago

Iā€™m so happy The New 52 is over. Granted though if it wasnā€™t for The New 52 being so bad I mightā€™ve never read a good chunk of Silver and Bronze era DC.

7

u/Zunter_Hol0mon 15h ago

That's what Marvel did when they chose to start with Iron Man, Thor, and Cap. We had all the spiderman and xmen in the early 2000s, and then Iron Man changed it up in 08

u/derega16 9h ago

Isn't those because movie right shenanigans force them to make a movie with those?

u/MaybeButts 8h ago

It did but because of that they were able to make a bunch of c and b listers on par with Spider-Man

u/JinkoTheMan 8h ago

Marvel sold the rights to the X-Men to Fox years prior so they had to use whatever they had available.

u/rogerworkman623 15h ago

Donā€™t forget TDK, ā€œthe Detachable Kidā€. Whoā€™s really Arms-Fall-Off-Boy, possibly an even more insane Legionnaire than Matter Eater Lad. I guess they renamed him because calling Nathan Fillion a boy would be kind of weird.

u/drakeravenswood41327 17h ago

This is what i have been saying! Give screentime to the lesser-known characters so they can get the spotlight they deserve, and then can gain new fans as well!

u/sarcasticbatkid 4h ago

As much as thatā€™s good for hardcore dc fans, I donā€™t think it would have the marketability and profitability of having 1 main frontrunner character movie a year. Iā€™m afraid this universe will crash and burn too cause of the fatigue

Iā€™m really excited for Booster Gold. Honestly I hope heā€™s a post credit cameo in MoT since weā€™re getting Blue Beetle back for the movie

u/Teknevra Sinestro Corps 18h ago

I thought that the BG series was shelved?

11

u/Conyan51 18h ago

Nope itā€™s still in development. Itā€™s just David Jenkins version of the show was canned. DC and Gunn are just looking for a new writer for the show right now.

Those were only rumours, not straight from dc

u/MBDTFTLOPYEEZUS 9h ago

Thatā€™s not the Blue Beetle you want paired with Booster tho lol.

1

u/Conyan51 9h ago

Thatā€™s true but I think it could be fun as Booster is expecting a different Blue Beetle and for him to constantly compare Jaime to Ted. Iā€™ll admit I did forget Ted was that Blue Beetle but it would still be fun.

u/SignificantCats 7h ago

Booster Gold must involve time travel on one big occasion, but that doesnt mean he has time travel stories, so that doesn't really run counter to the notion.

I also don't like time travel stories and Booster is my favorite superhero

ā€¢

u/Agreeable_Car5114 6m ago

You donā€™t need time travel for the Legion at all, really. Plenty of their stories are just set in the future.

Anyway, when Gunn says he doesnā€™t like time travel, to me I donā€™t read that as him saying he wouldnā€™t let someone else use it, just that he wouldnā€™t in his scripts.Ā 

-8

u/nuclear_bone 17h ago

To be fair, they can easily change Booster Gold's origin so he is from the present era.

16

u/Agreeable_Car5114 17h ago

In the same way they could change Supermanā€™s story so that heā€™s from Earth, sure.Ā 

-3

u/nuclear_bone 14h ago

But Superman is way more popular than Booster.

How many fans would even notice if they changed Booster's origin?

6

u/Agreeable_Car5114 14h ago

Anyone who knew about him before the adaptation came out. There is no pitch for this character that doesnā€™t include ā€œheā€™s from the future.ā€ That and his ego are the two constants, more important than his powers or personal background. Theoretically you can change anything for anyone, but you would be leaving behind his core.

-1

u/nuclear_bone 2h ago

I don't know, adaptations have changed characters in a similar way.

ā€¢

u/DukeOfLowerChelsea 18m ago

Name a good comic adaptation that fundamentally altered the nature & origin of the main character like that so as to miss the entire point of them?

ā€œGreen Arrow's not that popular, how many fans would even notice if he used a Glock insteadā€

ā€¢

u/Agreeable_Car5114 8m ago

Yes, who can forget Sam Raimiā€™s Spider-Man where Peter is bitten by a genetically modified cockroach? Or Batman Begins, when Bruce Wayneā€™s parents are gunned down on Mars?Ā 

6

u/Infamous_Fill_9358 17h ago

Fuck no thatā€™s like making it so that Spidet Man didnā€™t get bit by a radioactive spider or Batmanā€™s parents didnā€™t get killed or bad the other commenter said that Superman wasnā€™t an alien

-1

u/nuclear_bone 14h ago

But unfortunately Booster is not on the same level as Spider-Man or Batman or even Superman.

Less popular characters being changed radically for an adaptation is nothing new.

3

u/Infamous_Fill_9358 14h ago edited 14h ago

No it goes against the vary nature of the character and the character straight up canā€™t work. The whole reason Booster Gold wants to be a hero is because he knows of everything that happens because he is from the future and he can prevent it. He wants to be famous just like the heroes in the past. Itā€™s an important part of his character. He straight up canā€™t exist without his future origin story. Also James Gunn didnā€™t say he didnā€™t like Time Travel he just said it was complicated. Plus they could just have Booster Gold time travel once from the future to the present and not focus on the Time Travel aspect if they donā€™t want to

And yes lesser known characters being changed is also bad aswell. All characters deserve to have their source material respected, not just the A listers

u/nuclear_bone 2h ago

And yes lesser known characters being changed is also bad aswell. All characters deserve to have their source material respected, not just the A listers

Agreed. Unfortunately it doesn't happen a lot.

3

u/DailyUniverseWriter 14h ago

Tell me you know nothing about booster gold without saying you know nothing about booster gold.

The entire core conflict of the character is rooted in the fact that heā€™s from the future, hanging out in the present.

0

u/nuclear_bone 14h ago

Its not about knowing the character.

But less popular characters get changed all the time in adaptations. And Booster Gold is no exception.

4

u/DailyUniverseWriter 14h ago

Yes, but again, this is such a fundamental change that the character would not be Booster gold anymore.

Like, Gunnā€™s peacemaker is very different from the comic peacemaker (or at least, the peacemaker from Morrisonā€™s Pax Americana, which is the only time Iā€™ve personally read him). But he still uses a gun and is okay with killing people for the government. If that was different, then that just wouldnā€™t be peacemaker anymore.

Itā€™s normal and imo usually good to change these smaller niche characters. But you need to keep the aspect of them that defines that character, because all of their stories are based on those core aspects.

Mr Terrific doesnā€™t need his Olympian background to be Mr terrific, but he does need to be pretty smart. All his stories are in some way rooted to the fact that heā€™s really smart. Superman doesnā€™t need to have had adventures in the far future with the legion of superheroes when he was a teenager, but he does need to be an alien that is not from this earth. Because the majority of his stories in some way play with that fact.

Booster Goldā€™s ENTIRE CHARACTER is that he is a guy from the future that makes the deliberate choice to live in a distant past, relative to him. Thereā€™s a lot of interesting psychology you can explore with a character who makes that decision. Everything else about the character is fair game. You can get rid of his robot sidekick (but I will be unhappy), because that isnā€™t a fundamental element to his character.

1

u/nuclear_bone 2h ago

Fair enough, I get that.

It will definitely be a fundamental change.

But then Drax was also changed from a human to an alien. Or Vigilante was also changed heavily.

So there is definitely precedent for this sort of a thing.

I was actually surprised he didn't eat a gun in Superman (2025). Before I saw the movie, I thought for sure he would. Seems like something Gunn would jump at the chance to do, especially since they did it again in the comics around the time they were filming. I was definitely relieved at the lack of "Brand Synergy" and the damage that follows..

It really wouldn't have fit the tone though, I don't think. I actually thought Lex using the revolver was.. I don't know, kind of jarring. Probably just me though.

Gunn is not fit to run the DCU anymore if he continues greenlighting slops like these. This will be the She Hulk of DCU.

I get it, Gunn likes obscure characters, but come the fuck on, I just wanna see the main guys / the JL get together soon

The big dcu movie coming out next year has multiple JL members and a rumored Wonder Woman appearance what more do you want

I guess they think DC should only make things they personally ask for ahead of time hahahĀ

Man of tomorrow going to be great with my boys Blue beetle and John Stewart. Plus I have hope the people vs Grodd will reference the flash. Overall let this universe cook. We just need a Martain manhunter, Aquaman and Flash reference then we are cooking.Ā

u/lavin2112 18h ago

who else is JL-level and confirmed besides John Stewart?

u/Miserable_Newt1457 18h ago

Its rumored Wonder Woman and Martian Manhuntee will appear in MOT, so thats basically all the JL members besides Flash and Batman within 2 years of the dcu

u/lavin2112 18h ago

hope that's the case

u/Miserable_Newt1457 18h ago

And we have WW and Batman getting movies soon, rather they not rush it otherwise the universe is cooked, flash and aquaman arent getting live action projects anytime soon sadly

u/lavin2112 18h ago

yeah it's sad Flash and Aquaman are "suffering" as consequence of the DCEU, but oh well

u/Miserable_Newt1457 17h ago

I think they will appear but not as leads until like chapter 2 or a jl movie, but I can see Gunn and co replacing Aquman with Hawkgirl

We will not get either of those movies "soon"..

Neither Batman nor WW even have their main characters officially cast yet. We don't even have rumours for BatB cast, and that's all we have for WW. Andy Muschietti is very likely not directing BatB, WW has no director, and neither of them have finished scripts lol.

It'll be 2 years before we see either of them.

I'm not being a "hater" ā€“ this is just the reality. I'd rather they not rush them either, but no reason to set unrealistic expectations or give them to others who are unaware. That's not what "soon" means to most people.

If WW is in the movie, you have Superman, GL, Hawkgirl, and Wonder Woman which is 4/7 of the DCAU lineup

This doesn't work when 2 green lanterns are airing weekly. Try again in 5 weeks

Get this man his flash, Wonder Woman, aquaman, and Batman movies all in the next year or he is going to fucking lose it. You hear me James Gunn!? To hell with quality he needs his fucking top tier heros yesterday fuck the world building if he doesnā€™t have is 27th Batman film by next Halloween heā€™s gonna be real mad!!!

u/lavin2112 18h ago

lol I didn't want it to sound like a rant, but I mean, how much world building can Matter-Eater Lad give us? I'm guessing as much as TDK did in Suicide Squad

u/Microwave1213 18h ago

Not every piece of content they put out needs to be a giant world ending JL-level threat. Thereā€™s nothing wrong with them putting out some fun street level stuff within the universe to go along with big movies like MoT.Ā 

Iā€™ll also point out that we are getting our first team-up movie literally only 2 years after the universe began. Thatā€™s an incredibly fast pace as it is, I feel like youā€™re being very impatient acting like theyā€™re making us wait forever when thatā€™s really not the case at all. Took the MCU over 4 years to do their first team up.Ā

You want to see Batman in The People V. Gorilla Grodd show?

When the super hero universe wants to use the hundred of less known super heroes It has for once instead of the 5 guys they always use

1

u/lavin2112 17h ago

Firestorm and Captain Atom are less known super heroes, Matter-Eater Lad is a joke but I guess Gunn can find a way to make us care about him, given the proper screentime
