EP 83: Superman Review: Rebooting, Reinventing, and Revitalising the Man of Steel & The Failure Of The Synderverse.

This is episode 83 of The Truth Tank.

Rebooting, Reinventing, and Revitalising the Man of Steel 

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of DC, and the new Superman  film, which will kick start the relaunch of DC franchise. 

Can James Gunn successfully reboot, reinvent, and revitalise Superman?  We start by taking an in depth look at the failure of the Snyder Verse and the DCEU. Where did it all go wrong? What were the highs and lows? How was a golden opportunity to create a great franchise missed, when all the elements were right there? Fifteen films were produced in the DCEU over more than a decade, but how many were worth the big screen experience? We’ll analyse the failures across the series, covering everything from The Man of Steel, Batman V Superman, Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, Aquaman, The Flash and of course Justice League & The Snyder Cut.

Why wasn’t there a Man of Steel 2 or 'Batfleck' standalone Batman film? We’ll also look at the biggest problem with Justice League and the SC, rank the best and worst films in the Snyder Verse and debate whether Snyder’s creative freedom helped or hindered DC’s cinematic universe- as well as Ben Affleck’s underrated Batman. 

We’ll also touch on DC’s struggles under Warner Bros, the Marvel vs DC rivalry (who did it better?). Was the downfall of DC due to too much executive control, or not enough? DidThe Snyder Cut restore balance or further complicate things?Gunn’s Superman is the rebirth – the reboot - not only of the Man of Steel  but the DC universe itself.

Can we really blame James Gunn for wiping the slate clean and starting over? Can he be the saviour DC needs? And the big question: Did Superman live up to the hype?Tune in for a no-holds-barred discussion on the past, present, and future of the Man of Steel.
