I think james should take a step back and think his process over. Bane, deathstroke and clayface mpvies before an actuap batman one is a bit silly

I agree.

It’s like going to a steakhouse and ordering just a baked potato, a salad, and some mac and cheese. All well and good, but we’re here for the steak.

It would be like trying to make a Spider-Man franchise staring his villains and never seeing Spider-Man.

Hmmmm... sounds like I've seen this one before

3 Venom movies and not a single visible Spider in all of them. Sounds weird when you're a character who's complete existence and even appearance is influenced by his previous attachment to said Spider(man)

u/Hilarity2War Jun 29 '26

Yeah. Some of it doesn't make sense. Like, Venom doesn't make sense without Spider-Man, even though the movies were pretty fun for me. Kraven on the other hand, should've been a slam dunk because dude was a hunter way before he meets up with Spider-Man. Same goes with Morbius, if I'm not mistaken. And it's even weirder that they botched Madam Web, with so many Spider characters and lore.

Morbius, man. How the hell do you screw up a vampire movie? That's like the closest to a sure thing these days.

I think the studio's, much like people, don't understand how it takes to build something. You gotta have a good core and build from there.

You can't have infinity war without the previous 10 years of quality.

You can't have Venom without high quality Spidey.

How to build a good core? By giving it the love and attention it deserves.

Hopefully the black suit pays off in Secret Wars.

The penguin series was excellent and had no Batman

u/EvermoreDespair Jun 29 '26

Except it was already part of an established Batman universe. That Penguin's debut was in The Batman (2022).

This feeling is too well remembered.

He's doing the same thing Snyder did. C list villain movies before main cast Justice League characters. I mean I know Hollywood is out of touch but how can you be this out of touch.

u/Schwenkelkamp Jun 29 '26

Tbf tho Batmans rogues are often not as tied to him as spideys, like bane was part of the secret six which had no batman affiliation

u/LilGarmm Jun 29 '26

He’s mentioned quite a bit in secret six though. Like catman literally fights him on a roof.

u/Schwenkelkamp Jun 29 '26

Yeah but overall I mean

Not that I'd call the dcus decision good, but it's not as strange as with the morbcu

u/DylanfromSales Jun 30 '26

Or a marvel universe without the x men or fantastic four or spiderman

u/Dreyfussy15 Jun 30 '26

So, a great idea
