Adult Swim!?

Why does Lois look like Luz Noceda from The Owl House?

Perlmutter is gone from Marvel.

NY Times - Disney Lays Off Ike Perlmutter, Chairman of Marvel Entertainment

Disney confirmed the move. Mr. Perlmutter, 80, was told by phone on Wednesday that Marvel Entertainment, a small division centered on consumer products and run separately from Marvel Studios, was redundant and would be folded into larger Disney business units, according to two Disney executives briefed on the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive personnel matter.

Since then, Mr. Perlmutter’s future at Disney has been a topic of water cooler debate inside the company, with most employees concluding that his days were numbered. On Wednesday, Disney also laid off Rob Steffens, co-president of Marvel Entertainment, and John Turitzin, chief counsel for the division.

This could have ramifications on the comics side.

I die a little bit too when 'Logan' is listed as the best X-Men movie when there were no damn X-Men in it to begin with.

Doesn't the Professor count?

 

[Marvel united]

Bye bye, Ike!

End of an era

That's one layoff I can get behind! Shame it wasn't 20 years ago.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Perlmutter was bankrolling Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis who was waging war against Disney. It was one big conflict of interest that simmered for far too long on top of that.

Dopinder is back! I haven't given much thought to Deadpool 3 (2 bored me a fair bit after I loved the first) but Dopinder is one of my faves.

Absolutely no surprise there. Glad to have this cancerous presence finally booted out.

 

[Snow Queen]

Bye bye, Ike!

Live by the penny pinching, die by the penny pinching.

 

[Iceman]

Hmm, interesting, haven't heard anything about that one and had forgotten it was on the cards. Will be excited if they cast the right lead. Guess it's a long way away for now with all the other projects lined up for next year.

Marvel’s Victoria Alonso Clashed with Disney Over Gay Censorship – The Hollywood Reporter

 

[Sithborg]

Oh thank the lord Ike Perl is done, hopefully.

Considering he was backing the attempt to force the conservative activist investor onto the board, I somehow doubt he is done. Done with direct influence, sure. But he is going to continue to use his role as shareholder to try and influence things.

Adult Swim!?

Better than nothing, I guess. Not necessarily a great fit, imo, but they have run other action related shows before

I mean, he's laying off 7000 people. Of course Marvel Comics is going to be affected.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I’m glad that you could put the comforting hand on @BoredGuy shoulder…and then you can both be wrong together.

I love Logan and First Class

LOL,

Don't get me wrong, anybody with sense could see that they're both great movies. But Logan is more so the best 'Wolverine' movie to me, and 'First Class' felt like an Elseworlds with all the choices they made. I never could get into their reinterpretation of Mystique.

Yeah technically Logan isn't an "X-Men" movie but to me it's the best movie to come from the whole Fox franchise. If we're talking strictly X-Men movies it's a toss up between DOFP or First Class depending on the day.

Precisely Driz. I personally would also add X2 up there with DOFP and First Class.

Adult Swim!?

Just grateful it's seeing the light of day tbh.

More like good riddance. Just a toxic penny pincher with no good ideas.

I hope WBD doesn’t hire him.

 

[Detective Conan]

It’s worth pointing out that while the Clayface most are familiar with is a shapeshifting blob, the original Golden Age version(named Basil Karlo) was a serial killer with a mask and that’s likely the version Reeves will be inspired by for his take on the character.

 

[Batgirl0202]

Totally out of left field but I'd love to see some "classic" directors take on CBMs.

I know many consider the genre 'beneath' them but I'm betting the following would create CINEMA if they were to sign on for some of our beloved characters:

Martin Scorsese - Batman
David Fincher - Spawn
Quentin Tarantino - Punisher
Denis Villeneuve - Avengers
Guillermo del Toro - Midnight Suns
James Cameron - Defenders
Kathryn Bigelow - Daredevil
Peter Jackson - Champions
Spike Lee - X-Men
David Cronenberg - Swamp Thing
Ava DuVernay - Supergirl
John Carpenter - The Authority
Steven Spielberg - Superman

I always liked Clayface, so love it!

 

[Ninjablade]

I've been begging for Clayface as the next villain for years. So, I'm either going to be through the roof or incredibly disappointed by how that is going to go. Very scared

 

[Pennywise]

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

Hmm, don’t know what the point of doing Clayface is unless he’s the clay-monster. If he’s just going to be a serial killer just use Zsasz or some other character who couldn’t potentially be visually interesting to use.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

Clayface is an interesting choice. Loved the TAS version:

Batman has the greatest rogues gallery. We've haven't even scratched the surface.

I have a feeling Reeves grounded take might disappoint some.

 

[Sithborg]

Clayface is an interesting choice. I think there is plenty of room to work between the extremes of serial killer and clay monster.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

There better be SEVERAL jars of Renuyu in The Batman 2.

Don't let us down Reeves, this is a good choice.
