Yep. Some rumors are suggesting that this new DC Gunnverse may start off with less established or known characters first instead of the usual ones.

I think it'd be cool if Green Arrow bested Batman as a fighter or predator, mainly due to seniority. Batman can still be more competent as an overall hero (and incredibly smarter), but you could make it more subtle and let the obvious stuff be showcased by Queen.

Lets be honest about this: Snyder was a colossal mistake. Absolute ''Titanic going too fast into the iceberg without binoculars'' level fuck up.

No one wanted a dark Superman. Absolutely no one. Completely missing the point of the character. But that is what he gave us. That is what he started the DC cinematic universe off with. And it was one mistake after another that followed. Batman V Superman AKA the where he gave us Doomsday too early. Justice League AKA the film that spend most of its runtime trying to correct giving us Doomsday too early. Justice League AKA ''the Four Hour Boring Cut'' that was padded, padded, padded.

No plan. Too dark. And always came off as playing catch-up to Marvel. The non-Snyder films were hardly much better. Wonder Woman 1, Shazam and Aquaman are perhaps the only stand-outs and they followed a far more Marvel formula than anything that Snyder was doing.

Good riddance, Gunn can only go up from here.

BTW, some blame also has to be attributed to Christopher Nolan. Not directly of course. It wasn't his fault that his trilogy was so incredible - but I think that trilogy is also DC's only absolute breakout amazing success since the 1990s. The only one that people queued up at midnight for. I think it did put the seed into some DC executive's head that the people want ''dark'' films. Seemingly not realising that the films weren't good because they were ''dark'' anymore than Watchmen was good because it was ''dark''. It was good because it was ''dark'' written to compliment everything else.

You easily could blame Nolan more directly. He was the one that supposedly handpicked Snyder and gave him a lot of the artistic license that gave us movies like MOS, BvS and the four hour monstrosity that is the Snyder Cut. Without Nolan's blessing, WB would have never let Snyder get away with so many of those creative choices that divided DC fans.

I'd guess Nolan was impressed by his ability to adapt Watchmen, but that'd be a pretty crude simplification or assumption on matters.
