tbh i don't hate the idea of exploring different tones/genres with dc characters in film. HOWEVER, i think you have to establish them as elseworlds stories. it's one of the reasons why joker was such a huge hit.
clayface may be slightly profitable, but it sure ain't a hit.
James Gunn and Peter Safran were reportedly interested in producing more horror inspired DC films with smaller budgets.
βCLAYFACEβ just surpassed $109M at the worldwide box office.

oh i love being proven right that corensupes was a flop
One of the reasons Skydance replaced James Gunn and Peter Safran as the heads of DC Studios had to do with box office.
β’ βSupergirlβ was a massive bomb this year.
β’ βSupermanβs $618M box office was not impressive to Skydance either, as the film lacked βpop culture impactβ in their eyes.

Just a reminder
James Gunn says that he didn't write "Superman" to be a "stand in for Israel and Palestine":
"Absolutely 100% of that movie was written and done before anything ever happened between Israel and Palestine, and everyone continues to refuse to believe that thatβs not what itβs about. Itβs not. It just isnβt. You can take whatever you want from that, to mean what you want."

i mean, that's kinda basic family movie structure, yeah. at least, they always have something happen where the protag fails to achieve their goal, so they start having doubts & debate giving up. then they get the motivation to try again and ultimately succeed.
Burst out laughing when it cut to this, is Cocomelon: The Movie gonna have high stakes emotional drama where youβre supposed to cry? Iβm sure Iβll be able to take that very seriously

Man of Tomorrow coming out after the universe has been cancelled, killing it on arrival, just like what Gunn did to every single DCEU movie in 2023

people who are complaining about the new dc head wanting to make movies his grandma can watch is a textbook example of the literary crisis we're in right now.
he was talking about wanting to make family-friendly movies. the grandma reference was merely one example of the type
