Aren't you a Snyder/DCEU Superman fan?
I can't see Gunn doing more damage to cinematic Superman than Snyder has.
That is correct and I am a fan of Zack. And? Regardless of the critical reception or the vile fan reaction in the ever-so pleasant comic book movie fandom, that area in these circles never and will ever stop me from enjoying things I personally enjoy. Now the "DCEU" and slash statement you made is another story, but I digress since all of what has transpired in the past is irrelevant to what is about to happen next with the DCU.
That said, I have already touched upon Gunn having an obvious flare when it comes to his films, and it is also obvious that he does indeed have a pulse on what the general audience enjoys when it comes to the CBM (as evidence in his GotG trilogy) but that still doesn't keep my concerns away from a director of his caliber taking on Superman and being automatically successful. I obviously want that (badly) but I also think Superman fans in general understand the history of Superman on the big screen and the many failed adaptations that never even got off the ground. The history speaks for itself. I have my concerns. Until I see a single frame out Gunn's Superman movie, or his DCU as a whole, those concerns will remain (and rightfully so). DC/WB won't get my blind faith until they show me. For that, in a weird way, is a healthy place to be as a DC (and especially a Superman fan) going forward.
