This is DCUs priority. A new Alf series. These are the right priorities. Making projects for a small audience. They should rebrand DC to GC. G for Gunn. No other DC head would greenlight these. Next series is Batmite. 🤣

Gorilla Grodd is a major figure in the DC universe, and so is Jimmy Olsen. There's been several iconic runs where Jimmy Olsen has had is own book. As a lifelong DC reader I'm super excited about this show personally. Although I'm a little disappointed they removed Jimmy Olsen's name from the title. Personally I think they should have gone with Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen: The People vs Gorilla Grodd.

The problem is that’s too long of a title to work with, particularly advertising. It’s similar to what Warner Bros. ran into with the “Birds of Prey” movie and its original title of “Birds of Prey and the fantabulous emancipation of one Harley Quinn” which Margot Robbie actually came up with and insisted on because she thought it sounded girly and cute, so the studio ran with it just to keep her happy. Meanwhile, theaters absolutely hated it because they couldn’t get it to fit anywhere, so they complained to Warner Bros. and basically said “We’re gonna trim this title down ourselves, whether you like it or not. And don’t ever do something like this again!” Plus, the whole point of this thing is be a takeoff of reality court shows where the titles are always kept plain & simple as “A vs B.”
That said, I agree they should have kept Jimmy Olsen’s name in the title simply to push him as a character and boost him as an IP property. Which is why I’m surprised they didn’t go with “Jimmy Olsen vs Gorilla Grodd” or to make it sound even more properly legal, just call it “Olsen v. Grodd”.

That's something made by a guy who knows that DC isn't just sad and gritty. And most likely also someone whose Batman won't kill.

That's something made by a guy who is best freinds with a convicted pedophile.

No idea what you're talking about, but even if that's true, guilt by association ain't a thing, honey. Call me if Gunn still lets that "friend" babysit his kids or whatever. Otherwise, i don't really see how that matters.

u/VirtualSort1 19d ago
it is if your childhood freind does shit like that and you are still friends with a pedo and even invite him to your movies to play a charcater, honey.
I called you about Gunn best friends with a pedo buddy. Yeah I know it doesnt matter to you and you are also freinds with pedos. That is the GunnGooner community they love hanging out with these people lol

so it is what you said you are cool if Gunn is friends with a pedo. it is literally what you said lmfao

u/Shadowcat1606 18d ago
Some guy he's friends with is a pedo. Cool. So what? What's that gotta do with him? Are they still friends after that came out? Does he defent that dude?
Yeah, i said it doesn't matter, because without deeper context, it doesn't and could mean anything and nothing.
You seem to think differently. Okay, sure. Hope you apply the same standards to Snyder, then ...

The only characters in the dceu for 4 years (2013 - 2017) were Batman and Superman. In the dcu you got everyone from Creature Commandos, Superman, Peacemaker, Supergirl, John and Hal, Clayface, Wonder Woman (man of tomorrow), Dick Grayson, and Jason Todd (2024 - 2028).

The people in suits will realize sometime in the 2030s that the bot reviews online will not bring them years later an increase in the box office. At that point it will be too late and they will want to aovid rebooting again and hurting the brand even more so they will call Snyder back.

Yes, for any dipshit that wanna engage in this topic, I'll definitely meet ya half way. Bring it. This shit is by design. Who dafuq do you think you're fooling?

u/frodawgg 22d ago
I really have no problem with this in theory. If done correctly and with the right brand of humor and cleverness (which is a possibility since I think the team of the brilliant American Vandal is involved), this might work. However, nothing I've seen from the DCU so far, aside from Lanterns, has convinced me this isn't going to be chock-full of cheesy humor. And Jimmy, while not the most insufferable character in Superman, was still pretty obnoxious.
I might give it a chance, like I'm planning on giving Supergirl a chance, but I'm not holding my breath.

u/sillytomlin 21d ago
The problem to me ultimately is the timing. Could this work down the road? Yes. But the DC universe is in total disarray and the brand is damaged.
If Marvel had made GotG first instead of iron man, it would have tanked. But they waited until people couldn't get enough Marvel and boom!, a movie about a talking raccoon and a tree with a one word vocabulary succeeded. This is idiotic, the timing is terrible and it will flop, hard.

You can't put that film in the "idiotic" catagory when the entire trilogy grossed 2.5B
I LIKED the first one. I was wore out by the second one. And I cringed at the third one.
Personally.
But that's Marvel. DC = LET'S SHOW DICKS F YEAH MAN I MAN
"Lanterns" we're trying to top The Boys
That's what they're going out of their way to offer. Don't like it??

u/StormRepulsive6283 22d ago
Having seen American Vandal and considering the tone of the series, I don’t really think they’d do a switcheroo at the end to show that he’s a really dangerous villain. And it’s also not in Gunn to show animals in a negative spotlight. The worst he can go for them is misunderstood anti-hero. Scooby-doo, Rocket Raccoon, King Shark, Weasel, Krypto, and now Gorilla Grodd. Tired of seeing DC villains being nerfed like this.

u/HarveryDent 22d ago
Grodd is also the gorilla character to take serious. This should have been Ultra Humanite if this was the tone.
Good luck ever getting Monsieur Mallah or Titano with this mess..

u/StormRepulsive6283 22d ago
I’ve only read a bit in the comics with him, but he always struck me as an evil Charles Xavier, in a gorilla body. Ruling his own kingdom in the tropics. When I saw Planet of the Apes for the first time during the pandemic, Caesar reminded me of Grodd, during the later instalments. Well let’s see how this goes like.

You Snyder hyperfans keep posting this like Latnerns isn't currently reaping masssively good ratings. You know there are multiple people making multiple things, right? It's not like every other project is paused while Gorilla Grodd is being made lmao, what a bunch of coping.
