All y'all griping about Krypto can kick rocks... several of them at that.

Anyone that complains about Krypto should go watch their grimdark Snydertrash and leave all the non miserable people alone.

The TV commercials with the trailer have already started. The movie is more than six months away. They're promoting the heck out of this one.

On this week's episode of The Hot Mic, hosts Jeff Sneider and John Rocha shared some of the things they heard about a recent screening (as far as we know, there has only been one) of James Gunn's Superman, and the buzz was definitely leaning negative.

Rocha was told that the DCU reboot had a similar tone to Captain America: The First Avenger and The Mummy, and that the movie was said to be "decent" overall. Sneider's source was not as optimistic, suggesting that there is "reason to be worried" about the finished film.

We've now heard from a well-placed source who has spoken to people who have seen the movie, and their feedback was a lot more positive.

Apparently, Superman was described as "Guardians of the Galaxy-level good," and while some of the VFX was unfinished, a "lot of the shots were polished enough with seven months to go" before release. Those in attendance (that shared their opinions) reportedly "loved the movie.".............

So here's the deal with this.

Jeff Sneider has always been a very weird/ creepy guy, but at one point he had a lot of sources and would break info and leaks pretty frequently. Over the last two years his hit rate has plummeted and he has had several major meltdowns on Twitter when he gets called out for peddling bullshirt.

On top of this, he was not invited to the Superman trailer press event by James Gunn. Sneider used to be seen as a more legit movie journalist but he's now more regarded as a peddler of snark and bullshirt. He apparently was livid he didn't get invited, and then suddenly he's "hearing" the movie is a "mess", something literally no one else seems to have heard or reported. He also claimed Gunn fired the VFX teams, which Gunn immediately and publicly called BS on and Sneider had a meltdown over that.

Additionally, the only test screenings that have happened are friends and family screenings. These people are not running to tell a washed up rumor monger about the quality of the film.

John Rocha knows nothing. He has no sources. He is a former podcast guy from Collider who has claimed to have "sources" for years while having a hit rate on leaks and rumors that is nonexistent. He can be summarily disregarded in any and all movie discussions. He mostly just panders to Sneider.

ViewerAnon, who is a very credible leaker with an established high level of accuracy, has said to disregard all reporting (positive or negative) about the test screenings, as they were strictly friends and family screenings and nobody has really heard anything. Not that it would even matter because the movie doesn't release for 8 months and will change many times between now and then.

My sites doesn't cover movies (except on the Batman side), but we all know to ignore those buffoons. Uncle Rich at Bleeding Cool has better sources and THAT should tell you a lot.

I typically ignore CBM.

Warner Bros is facing a lawsuit from the estate of Joseph Shuster, one of the creators of the DC Comics hero Superman.

Ahead of the release of Superman, a much-publicised new movie adaptation directed by Guardians of the Galaxy filmmaker James Gunn, a suit was filed in New York City’s federal court.

Superman is intended to re-launch DC’s biggest film franchise, as part of a wider attempt to rival Marvel’s cinematic universe. Gunn took over as CEO of DC Studios, a subsidiary of Warner Bros, in 2022, alongside producer Peter Safran.

The character of Superman was created in 1938 by Shuster, an illustrator, and writer Jerome Siegel.

The lawsuit states that the creators had initially licensed the rights to Superman to Detective Comics (which would later become DC Comics). It argues that British law means that Shuster’s rights reverted to his estate in 2017, 25 years after the illustrator’s death.

It is claimed that Warner Bros had unlawfully failed to pay royalties for use of the character in countries outside the US, including Britain, Canada and Australia.

The suit seeks monetary damages from the company, as well as a court order that would prevent depictions of Superman without a license.…..

They've tried this before. They're very litigious.
