With his medicine-ball biceps and chin worthy of an Easter Island moai, the wrestler turned actor John Cena can actually pull off wearing a daft comic book outfit, shiny silver helmet and all. That's what makes Cena's spandex-clad Chris Smith AKA Peacemaker so inherently funny: he looks the part but is a demonstrably terrible superhero. Being a hard-charging, self-sabotaging meathead with a propensity for violence and a hair-trigger temper will never make you as beloved as Superman. But it can be highly entertaining to watch.

Gunn emphasized cross-platform storytelling, noting that actors would portray their characters across all forms of media--including video games.

The Batman Part II is beginning pre-production and aiming to begin shooting in Spring 2026, potentially leading to its release on October 1, 2027.

Gunn's hope for the DCU is for the storytelling to be so cohesive that DC-related projects at sister operation Warner Bros. Games will click right in.

Gunn begins the reboot of Superman by quickly condensing the character's first three decades into a rapid sequence, demonstrating a different approach to origin stories.

Lois Lane's portrayal in James Gunn's Superman raises questions about her skills as a journalist, often appearing unrealistic and superficial, even within a comic book context.

Warner Bros. attempted to recruit Kevin Feige from Marvel after the unsuccessful Justice League in 2017, but those discussions were unsuccessful.
