I would prefer an actual redhair, but I think she's do a fine Batgirl, that's for sure.

I may not follow the Superman mythos as "religiously" as I do the X-mythos (though my my faith was shaken to its foundation by the time Bendis took over the franchise and completely ruined it, thankfully, Hickman may finally backtrack that), but I'm well familiar with it, having read and watched plenty of material. No one said his take is the resurrection of the golden age, you're projecting, I actually started commenting in this thread with the reasons why I think it isn't. But trying to suggest the things he did with Superman are out of touch is laughable at best, inadequate at worst. There were some really inspired aspects, and some that could've been improved or done differently. Still, it's an interesting take with lots of ideas to consider. Which is more than Superman Returns or an uninspired Rebirth comics could ever offer. And yes, Superman is still struggling for relevance, so reimagination has to take place. Funnily enough, I think having Snyder's ideas with the lesser introverted slightly more classic characterization is the way to go. But having him safe from tough decisions and situations, forcing the narrative to help him look good no matter what, isn't it. I mean, it may work in this current age of denial. But he will struggle with relevance really soon, again. That's how I see that.
Netflix has ordered The Sandman TV show.
It's reported to be DC's most expensive show ever.

Since SANDMAN needs at least as many seasons as GAME OF THRONES (and GOT still didn't get enough) to do the story justice, I'd probably be happier with HBO than Netflix. As they discussed recently on Screen Junkies News, there's no incentive for Netflix to continue past three seasons--so I wonder if that's all we'll get for SANDMAN (or even less).
Anything that is good from snyder came from earth one and other comics. He didn't do anything that hasn't been done with superman before. That was what i was saying.snyder's "vision" didn't make superman anymore relatable or relevant than he was before.since he didn't do anything original. Anything,of his own, like pa kent death was straight up controversial.
Rebirth, didn't make tall claims that it made superman relatable or exciting or great suddenly. It was never about that. Rebirth gave for the first time in his life something personal to fight for. Something he always wanted. A family. A son. Please!! Rebirth supermen made the plenty questionable decisions like him allowing his son to be a superhero(even though he didn't have much of a choice), him storing prisoner in fortress.. Etc. I might add rebirth superman is more relatable than man of steel one and without all the monotonous nonsense.
I repeat, snyder didn't reimagine anything. He just used what came before. He didn't do anything original. So, people claiming snyder made of something that 80 years of superman writers haven't is false and arrogant.
I only jumped into this discussion because of that. I liked man of steel, but hated bvs. But, i hate this notion that snyder's vision is the "be all and end all" of superman or he did something magical so that haters can relate to superman suddenly .i can't understand that, i never will.
And i believe, that people are clamouring for a true blue superman for once. Not a, so called "reimagining". Don't make tall claims about the character or expect something that is clearly not possible. If they couldn't write a story like that,then should have straight up adaptated a story . Adapt, birthright or secret origins or anything really. It's not like superman doesn't have an orgin story. He has too many to count.
