Superhero Cinematic Civil War - Part 57

[Boy Scout]

True or not, they’re gonna get ****ed for that.

 

[DlAMONDZ]

WB leadership is just a constant stream of PR headaches. You'd think Discovery will clean house but they probably won't

 

[Deck Rickard]

Dougray Scott checking the news today:

**** him and everyone who engaged in the kind of unprofessional, abusive behavior Ruby describes here.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Yet people wonder why IATSE wanted to strike.

God, we're all so thirsty for Superman news that a mere winky throwaway mention of him in a Marvel movie is causing the internet to go in a frenzy. "SUPERMAN EXISTS IN THE MCU?" No, people its a stupid throwaway line like when Aunt May said to Peter "You're not Superman you know..." in SM1. Thats all.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Superman exists in the MCU....as a pop culture icon. Why does anyone think this is a big deal? It is click bait

Reminds me of instances in the Ultimate comics in which they casually referenced DC like this one:

 

[Ninjablade]

That Ruby Rose news, oof. Glad she got out of it when she did for her own sake. **** that whole production. Things always seemed fishy after the set injury.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

We are that much closer to Marvel’s Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Expect a Metropolis name drop soon too.

They also apparently mention Batman in the Eternals movie as well as one character is compared to him in the movie.

I just can’t get over the fact that DC characters are acknowledged to exist(even if it’s in the form of referring to them as fictional characters within the universe) in the MCU before any of the Marvel Television shows.

I can believe it. Honestly, I see these references as absolutely being a nothing burger. Superman and Batman got mentioned. That is great. Barack Obama got mentioned in Luke Cage. Who bloody cares?

In the grand scheme of things, you’re right it’s not a big deal as it’s not Batman and Superman are going to pop up in a Marvel film(they don’t have the rights) and Star Wars and Flash Gordon have been directly referenced before in these movies.

In other news:

 

[MbJ]

The Batwoman news is horrifying. And it's crazy how the original story was framed as Ruby being a diva who cut and ran because she didn't want to do the work required of her.

Iron Man was mentioned in a Batman movie. And in that reality he "sucks".

 

[Micromind]

I suppose this is the first time any Marvel movie name dropped a DC character...
(In Spider-Man (2002) movie, Aunt May mentions Superman)

 

[DlAMONDZ]

At least now we know all those stories about Ruby Rose being a hard-ass were WB hit pieces

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Anyone remembers the first Marvel movie with a Superman reference?

 

[Detective Conan]

The earliest I recall is the first Punisher movie released in 1989 when they mentioned Batman.

Edit: @Spider-Aziz: That’s the one.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

FWIW, there was also that Captain America reference in Batman Beyond ROTJ.

I don't remember that, but I do remember DCAU Supergirl holding a Spider-Man comic in a bus and showing her disgust at the idea of spider-powers.

In other news:

They need to just make this official already. The fans (myself included) will not accept anyone else in the role except him.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Until they do

 

[Man in the Suit]

 

[Mandon Knight]

That’s really screwed up how they treated Ruby and people on the Batwoman set.

I don't have twitter or access to it, in short, what's happened ? Have they treated her like sh** effectively ?
