Frankly, I feel sorry for anyone saddled with that job solely because the people at the top seem intent on undermining everyone at the creative stage but if we are talking purely what will result in interesting films, I like Gunn. It's a good choice. I know little about the other dude.
I think Gunn is a good choice to head this up, but yeah, his success is really dependent on the head honchos at WB picking a path and sticking with it. Previous heads barely got time to try to clean up the mess from the previous direction and change course before being removed and the studio having to find a new direction again.
Its like if Marvel wanted to pull the plug after Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2 somewhat disappointed.

Or, ya know, Star Wars films.

My hope is the approach will be a little like his The Suicide Squad; an implied pre-built world instead of having to make a big deal out of establishing that big things are coming. Be different from Marvel by being expressly more standalone yet with crossover in the way it and Birds of Prey did. I don't necessarily need more R-rated DC but those feel closer to the model I personally would want.
Honestly, I think DC has been doing a pretty great job the last 5 years, pretty much since Justice League. Nice variety of tones, from Shazam to The Suicide Squad to Aquaman, nice variety of sub-genres.

I think that of what I've seen. It's a shame I've heard the second Wonder Woman is a bit of a mess because I quite liked the first.
I am higher on that movie than most, but at the very least it is an ambitious, interesting mess. It tries to resolve its central villain conflict without a physical fight, which is not something I can think of another superhero movie doing off the top of my head.
Spread the good word, brother-man!
I think the movies they've released have all been good. I even like WW84. But the movies in development hell have belayed a very different picture of the studio's internal workings.
I think it's pretty interesting as well. My big complaint is not enough Kristen Wiig
The A plot of the latest episode of Titans S4 involves Nightwing seeking out an elf to help him save Starfire, who has been turned to stone by magic. Its everything I want out of this show.
Stargirl Season 3 is too good. This show did not deserve to be cancelled. I can't say enough good things about it.
The first episode of Titans S4 had so much absurd meta-jokes that I almost died
My only problem with Titans is that I am unsure of how in on the joke they are in making it. I think they know they've pushed things to the absolute extreme so it is more than a bit silly, its a good tone and it works, but sometimes I think they want me to take Superboy shaving his head and deciding he is Luthor so he's going to act like a dick completely seriously and I just can't. I like how Dick is just like 'I get, you've got to process this buddy, but come on man.'
Also, the reveal in Stargirl was excellent. Like, I suspected, if not quite predicted, what was coming, but they set it up beautifully. It sucks that this show is getting cancelled.

But that mean's he's free to play Slam Bradley. Just sayin'.
If Jason Momoa can play Lobo in the post-Snyderverse, let Cavill play Bruce Wayne.
Pretty weak to let him quit Witcher for Superman and then yank Superman away though
Agreed.
was...he
I like him. This makes me sad.
Not only was he a great Superman, he was also a great Geralt. And now he's neither, apparently!

The only thing I saw him in was as the obnoxious special agent in a Mission Impossible movie and that was great.
While the other star is admittedly Armie Hammer, people should watch The Man from UNCLE. Cavill is pretty great in that.
It speaks of a company that has no idea what it is doing that the had him announce he was returning to the role about a month before saying nevermind, but I would guess that a clean break (if that is indeed what Gunn is doing) is probably the best plan going forward.
I mean, dipshits online are mad that Ezra Miller hasn't already been recast as the Flash, but that movie's already made and I would be truly shocked if they make a second Flash movie with them.
