Welcome back everyone
It's Charlie
James Gunn just revealed a first look at the new Superman suit
Grant Gustin talked about returning as his Barry Allen flash in the new DCU movies
So we'll break it all down
because I think we all had a version of The Flash movie in mind where they brought him back already.
That would have been far superior to the version of the Flash movie.
We got Stephen Amell also talked about the new DCU movies, but he had some very different words.
So both of them are a very different minds when it comes to the new stuff.
James Gunn is working on.
But if you're brand new to the channel, be sure to subscribe to get all the videos,
even though they're kind of taking this year off from the live action movies,
which I think is going to help them, like just give them a little time away.
We are getting some upcoming DC series like the Penguin HBO series is coming later this year.
that's a spin off of Robert Pattinson's Batman movies.
He'll be in at least one or two episodes of that.
So there will be some live action DC stuff happening this year,
but we finally got to look at David Corenswet's new Superman suit in Superman legacy.
The cast just did a big script read with James Gunn posting a bunch of pictures.
This is who everyone is playing.
I'll just put their names up here on the screen.
this is all sanctioned.
Like James Gunn
was letting them post pictures like this, like they all assembled to do a traditional type of picture.
This isn't somebody leaking stuff out, Tom Holland or Mark Ruffalo style.
But they also posted his new Superman logo
which were on all their names at the cast read.
this is going to be the logo the David Corenswet's Superman wears
on his Superman suits For some of you, this might be instantly recognizable.
But if you're not a long time comic book reader, this logo is essentially the kingdom Come logo,
meaning the David Corenswet's Superman suit will be a version of the Kingdom Come a suit.
Rewind to last year.
James Gunn posted this picture of Kingdom Come Superman and the Justice League.
Doesn't it make more sense now when he said making plans at the time, there were a lot of theories,
this meant his next Justice League movie would resemble the kingdom
come version of the Justice League, at least in characters that he used.
Not necessarily the exact story, because all these kingdom come characters are way, way
older, all the brand new people in these casting for his DCU movies are way, way younger,
But it turns out he was actually revealing or giving us a first
look at what his new Superman suit was going to look like.
When most people see the kingdom come.
Superman symbol, though, they think of the black and red one,
since that's usually the one you see on the kingdom come covers.
that's the one he's wearing in the panel James Gunn posted
but David Corenswet's Superman logo will be more like the version of the kingdom
Come suit that Brandon Routh wore during the Arrowverse version of Crisis on Infinite Earths episodes.
Isn't it funny that the DCU is borrowing from the Arrowverse like up Arrowverse did it first
during those episodes. Brandon Routh.
Superman went through his own arc where he started with the black and red version of the suit.
then.
In the final episode of Crisis during the epilog, he switched to the yellow
and red version of the Kingdom Come logo.
that's the logo.
David Corenswet
is going to be wearing like it'll look more like the colors of the traditional Superman logos.
It'll just be in the style of kingdom come.
and I don't think that his full Superman suit is going to be exactly like Brandon Routh
kingdom come suit here.
His version was meant to be exactly like the kingdom come suit from the comics with the red trunks
in the belt style.
James Gunn said one of the biggest questions that he gets every single day,
like all the time, all day, is whether or not his new Superman is going to wear the trunks.
I don't expect him to wear the full kingdom come trunks like I don't think it
look exactly like the kingdom come trunks but I do think it will be very,
very different from Henry Cavill Superman suit who did not have the trunks.
one of the other differences from Henry CAVILL'S Superman suits is
that he's not supposed to have any special textures on the actual blue fabric.
It's meant to be smoother like previous Superman suits, like Brandon Routh
version of Superman or even Christopher Reeve's Superman.
Like they had smooth Superman suits, essentially.
if you look at Henry Cavill, Superman seems like zoom in hands.
This is what they look like up close.
There was a special pattern woven into them that gave them this textured look.
all of his suits looked cool.
Like I loved Henry Cavill's black suit.
The colors on the man of steel suit were a little too muted for me, but the actual suit itself was great.
what is the James Gunn going know?
Textures on the suit is going to give more of a homemade kind of feel to it.
And for those of you asking,
how does Superman in general just keep his suit in perfect condition all the time?
Like sometimes he fights more powerful beings, like dark side in his suit does get a little damage.
But how does he repair and keep up his super suit all the time?
Like, how does it not take damage when he gets shot
by bullets way back in the Silver Age and more frequently in modern comics?
The explanation they came up with is that his body's level of strength, like his invulnerability,
projects a little beyond his skin, just enough to protect his suit.
Most of the time.
the solution to this problem during Brandon Routh era of Superman in during Henry Cavill's era of Superman
was to make the fabric itself Kryptonian, like, super strong, even without Superman wearing it.
Brandon Routh version of Superman had his super suit made from the Kryptonian fabric
that was in his pod when he came to Earth for the first time.
So the suit was made on earth, but it was made with Kryptonian fabric
that was just refashioned into the suit and Henry Cavill.
Superman got all his suits from the Kryptonian ships of the ship itself.
Made the suits.
We'll see how James Gunn solves this issue.
Like he will have a traditional fortress of solitude.
So there will be a lot of Kryptonian stuff happening on planet Earth.
And I think that will be part of the plot of the movie, too. bup.
Pose all your reactions in the comments below.
What do you think about David
Corenswet wearing a yellow and red version of the kingdom.
Come suit like a brighter looking version of kingdom Come.
The other big news you may have seen recently was Grant Gustin and Stephen Amell
talking about returning in the new DC movies as Flash and Green Arrow.
it's really cool to hear him ready to come back so quickly.
Personally, I don't expect that to happen.
Like him to come back as flash in the movies any time soon.
Mostly, though, because it sounds like James Gunn is going to wait to introduce
the new main flash of his DCU movies for a couple years.
just give people a little time to forget that criminal flash.
name is Ezra miller and I am criminally excited to be a part of the Justice League.
there are a lot of people after the Flash movie that were like, what if he came back?
But as a version of the reverse flash, like he would totally work
as the bonkers, crazy, evil version of Flash.
There's a lot you could say about that Flash movie.
Michael Keaton was great is his Batman.
But if they really wanted to go for the member, Barry's like, it sounded like they wanted to.
the Batman that most of the audience that they were actually trying to appeal
to thinks more of Christian Bale's Batman as they are Batman.
most people who saw Michael Keaton's Batman in theaters during the eighties and early
nineties are much, much older now, like a much smaller percentage of the actual audience.
most younger fans, when they think of an older Batman coming back or thinking of Christian Bale's Batman,
had they done the Flash movie with his older Batman coming back, Grant
Gustin and Henry CAVILL'S Superman in the movie in a bigger way than he was.
Like, There was Henry Cavill in the background.
There were a bunch of deleted scenes with him,
which I talked about at length during my flash movie, deleted scenes video.
you can make like a whole movie with all the stuff they took out of that film.
Had they not done all those weird, crappy looking CG
effects with the cameos, like film them like traditional cameos with real people on screen,
not CG monstrosities, that would have been $1,000,000,000 movie.
one of my biggest disappointments with that movie and a lot of other people, too, was not bringing
Grant Gustin back, he even said no one from the studio even asked him to come back in the first place.
so it wasn't like he was too busy filming the end of the Flash TV show to come back.
He still totally could have done a cameo scene.
I put all the blame on the former producers and the business people at DC and Warner Brothers for that.
When James Gunn was hired, they all either got fired, they quit, or they're just not around anymore.
So outside of having a creative like James Gunn, who understands the comics in Flat Out,
just is a fan of them to begin with, which it sounds like a lot of people
at DC and Warner Brothers were not fans of comics before this.
Generally, I'm just way more optimistic about the upcoming DC movies because they got rid
of a lot of that bad element, like the business suits that were calling all the shots before this.
who captures that spirit.
The thing they don't talk about much.
When they talk about Chris Reed, they talk about his pureness, his hope, his goodness.
They talk about, you know, the way that he plays Clark as being
so different from the way he plays Superman and how he can turn that on in an instant.
like Frisky
now. But there's this playfulness about Superman, this when he's saving a cat,
he's got that wry smile And that is one of the best
parts of the movie, is the playfulness of Superman.
He enjoys what he's doing.
He likes helping human beings Stephen Amell also talked about the upcoming new movies.
And on the other side of this coin here from Green Acres, and he wasn't quite as kind as he was
I see a lot of announcements from about
about DC and about the DC extended universe and about what they're going to do with the movies.
You know what?
You know what I prefer content
like, well,
I don't think anyone has ever gone to an IMAX to watch a press conference
or to like, read Twitter.
It's like, great, awesome.
I'm glad you guys have all these plans.
Shut up and go execute them.
in all fairness to him, he's not wrong.
Like, he sounds a little salty about the way the studio treated him and Grant Gustin just in general.
But it is a huge bummer that we have to wait so long to actually start getting some of this brand new stuff.
DC and James Gunn have been hyping up, Definitely.
Sounds like Stephen Amell does not think he is coming back in the new DC movies,
but I think previously he said he would come back if they asked him back.
There were some jokes that James Gunn included about Green Arrow
during Peacemaker,
So generally just seems like James
Gunn is not quite as big of a Green Arrow fan.
but let me know in the comments.
Who do you want the new DCU version of the Flash to be like?
Do you want it to be a Barry Allen?
Do you want it to be a Wally West?
Which actor do you want to play The character?
Right now, Creature Commandos is technically the first thing that he worked on personally.
That's part of the DCU that's airing later this year.
but really Superman Legacy is the first live action movie.
And that's the thing most people are waiting for because its success
will determine a lot of the future of the DCU and whether or not it's going to be viable.
Like you have to.
You absolutely have to have a Superman that everybody loves in order for this to all work.
I tend to be a little more optimistic.
The cast looks great right now.
I trust his creative vision, but you really just need to see that first trailer to actually see
what it's going to look like and feel like he said he doesn't plan on releasing it until early 2025.
So I'm not expecting any huge trailer any time this year, but we'll probably see
some early versions of the super suits and the characters behind the scenes.
So there will be some stuff that we'll get a look at.
whatever they wind up releasing.
Of course I will do videos for it.
