Marvel | Spider-Man | X-Men | NEW!! DC Comics | Batman | Superman | Wonder Woman
I guess I'm “no one in the general public”. Tyler's Superman hits the heart of who Superman is far better than Henry's Superman; and I'd much rather see Tyler Hoechlin make the jump to the silver screen portraying the same kind of Superman as he is on Superman and Lois than to see Henry Cavill return. No slight to the latter intended; I think he's a great actor. But the interpretation of Superman that he was given is flawed, being tonally too much like Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.
And “no Superman at all” is not an option: the CEO of Discovery has said that Superman needs to be aggressively pushed as the lynchpin of the cinematic universe.

Anyway tomorrow is the last day. The masterpiece ends.
Final issue didn’t really deliver for me and honestly, don’t know how anyone can be satisfied. Williamson really gave no real reason as for why the justice league would quit nor did we actually get to see it play out on the page. Also given the latest that’s been happening with the rock and the live action film, a lot of these black adam character beats just seem pointless in hindsight because you know DC will stop pushing him so hard now lol.
I think my main takeaway from this event is DC needs to go all out when they do these big events. As much as people criticize the metal events, they actually felt like they were making a impact on the DCU and their presence was felt throughout the ongoings. This story doesn’t feel like it served any particular purpose. Was it to prop up the titans, who were hardly in the story besides Dick and Wally? Give the future state/5G heroes a bigger role in the DCU, even though their roles could almost be seen a glorified cameos? I really wish Williamson and DC planned this better.
Can someone explain to me, what was the point of disbanding the Justice League? I mean, they kept saying, that world needs them, and then they just decide to quit? Really?
It was just a mediocre, pointless event. I don't know, maybe something happened behind the scenes and they changed something, or Williamson just doesn't know how to write events, but it was boring, forced and pointless. The very idea of Dark Crisis is good, something interesting could be done with it, the Justice League is dying/disappearing and legacy characters take everything into their own hands, this is really a cool pitch. But eventually it feels like Josh himself doesn't know what it is about.
And also, multiverse part with Great Darkness, Pariah and Dark Army is absolutely pointless. Especially if you set goddamn Deathstroke as the main villain.
