    Yeah, I definitely don't remember Stan Lee Spidey looking up to other heroes.

    Joking aside, from what I recall from the set pics, a guy dressed as Superman will go at a Halloween party in Gotham, Metropolis and Superman are referenced in some newspaper and the Lexcorp should be there too. These feel a lot of SM references for a BM movie, imo. Especially one that the director wanted divorced from the rest of the DCEU.

    Marvel and DC comics are no different than the food at McDonalds. It will fill you up but in the end bad for your health. Read more independent publishers. Get away from the corporate homogenous cookie cutter fast food comics.

    The entire reason the MCU Spider-Man was more tied to the Avengers and a protege of Iron Man's was because the other takes had been done before. Even though Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man left off on a cliffhanger. It's the same exact thing happening to Superman.
    Eh, that's...not an argument that is going to persuade me. I think the MCU Spider-Man films have been the weakest MCU films to date.

    I completely forgot about those set photos!

    Eh - there's a difference between being divorced from the DCEU, and being divorced from DC. Superman can exist in the world of The Batman and never get his own film in that world. The Superman reboot, whatever race Superman is or whichever Superman it is, can exist in a world where Batman exists, but it isn't The Batman or any other we've had or will get in solo films.

    He was basically the rebellious loner superhero. Pete losing some of his independence is one of the weaknesses of his MCU incarnation

    I'm not trying to persuade you, really, I don't consider it subjective. Clark Kent is established within the public consciousness and has been for decades.

    Eh, to each their own. I'm still crossing my fingers hoping whether they go with a black or white Superman, they don't resort to racebending Clark.

    The entire with Spidey is that,when hung out with others he was always outclassed.Wanting to be Spiderman is counterproductive because the selfish choice is the first.That is why he likes cap.Even Then he always goes for Tony.because cap ain't relatable for him.Cap can only be a pedestal and ideal.Even in comics he goes to Tony regarding things.Movies are just more integrated and they don't split the ip.There is a reason for that too.They haven't had Peter fanboying at anything other than tech.


    He was rebellious and loner. But that was never in adult manner for me.It was growing pains.That sorta thing.His rebelliousness doesn't have any essence like caps does in the winter soldier onwards or even goldenage superman.These guys are alone cause they fight for an ideal.

    Eh, you dig how Spidey is in the MCU - but a lot of us really aren't feeling it. He just...doesn't stand on his own merits there for me.

    I am just pretty much indifferent.The only characters i like is tony stark and steve rogers.They took apart hulk and every aspect of the character.This is just my view on spiderman.He feels normal to me.Hulk is my character.I get a catharsis because of the child abuse angle.

    Marvel just got Isaiah Bradley as Captain America on screen! I wonder if Warner Brothers is playing catch up and knew that was coming?

    Their well-established verse in two mediums makes it incredibly easier for them now to plug in certain ideas rather quickly. If they want to showcase Isaiah as a black Cap, they have the opportunity to get plenty of mileage out of it before this Superman reboot even starts filming.
