All James Gunn is saying is "Give the Underrated a Chance"

[mydreaminorbit]

James Gunn is a miracle worker. He wrote the Legacy script, formed his creative team, picked the perfect cast, and selected his filmmaking team. At the same time, supervising multiple shows. All while continuously gunning down rumors from idiots and keeping fans updated. All done in a year working in a pressure cooker environment.

Bryan Cranston as Jim Gordon in this universe would be perfect. His work on Batman: Year One was perfect.

I like how James gun just casually Replies to fans about a multi Billion dollar Ip 😂

[ammonite]

Bro almost every casting choice has been perfect this is gonna be sick

[CAINMUIC]

Blue Beetle could return in Peacemaker Season 2. Peacemaker plays a big role in Jaime’s original storyline.

[michaelmyers]

Apparently a while ago James Gunn said he would taking inspiration from young justice for his universe

[markburns]

The fact that James is bringing in krypto immediately had me sold on him being the head of DC studios and the writer/director of superman legacy

[Mr.BrokenRecord]

Nathen fillien playing guy gardener is perfect!!!

I kinda want Calista Flockhart to return as Cat Grant bc for me she was so iconic, kind of like J. K. Simmons did for his iconic role in Spiderman Homecoming and No Way Home
