My only, *only* con to this, is that so far, all of JG's properties have been on the humorous side. It'd be nice to see some range in the DCU, but if it turns into just a bunch of properties being all comedy-focused...I dunno...
You mean like the way the Marvel Universe is trending now.
I kinda agree with everything said so far, both the positive and negative. I’d say I’m a fan of Gunn, but not a fanboy.There are a bunch of questions I’m dying to know:1) How much of an impact will he have on already-filmed but not yet releases movies, like Flash & Aquaman 2. Will he be wanting reshoots to have those films fit more in line with his overarching vision?2) Will there be any kind of reboot or reset? I know Flash is rumored to have such a reset already, but will he try to expand upon it or maybe scale it back?3) Will he unshelve Batgirl? Or perhaps have it refilmed?4) Will the non-DCEU films continue (aka Joker & The Batman)?5) Will he try to poach MCU filmmakers & actors? If GotG3 is indeed the last with this crew, one or more of the characters may be killed off, so…6) Will he save all the big reveals for Hall H SDCC 2023??
The last point above by You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login really makes me excited (kinda?) for Hall H next year...if they just run w/this and do something to help us all understand how they're going to re-set the stage, all during a Saturday panel? You want kick ass positive coverage, you do that. That would be awesome.
"...all our initial focus is on the story going forward, hammering out the new DCU, & telling the Biggest Story Ever Told across multiple films, television shows, & animated projects."
Since I'm apparently updating DC Studios info nowadays, here's a great twitter thread from Studio Head James Gunn (seriously: that is REALLY weird/incredibly cool to type out/say) where he expresses gratitude towards vocal "Ayer Cut of SUICIDE SQUAD" zealots, as well as expressing that That's a pretty bold proclamation, broad as it is at this moment, but something I'd think fans of DC comics should be really excited about. I know we've heard both studio suits AND creatives talk about grand DC plans before but I have faith in Gunn's vision/ideas moreso than anyone in the past since Christopher Nolan (I was cautiously optimistic with Zach Snyder, as his stuff runs hot or cold with me, and while I neither loved nor hated what he did with the DCEU I _did_ appreciate he went with different ideas, I guess).You are not allowed to view links.

...hammering out the new DCU...
...across multiple films, television shows, & animated projects...
“It focuses on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing,”
“He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way. He is kindness in a world that thinks of kindness as old-fashioned.”
“can be persuaded, perhaps, to direct it as well.”
“We see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he’s an infant, versus Supergirl, who was raised on a rock chip off of Krypton, and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life.”
