SUPERMAN Estate Sues WB & DC To Block Release of SUPERMAN

- The estate of Superman creator Joseph Schuster is suing Warner Bros. Discovery and DC Entertainment/DC Comics to prevent the release of James Gunn's planned film in a number of nations. Plaintiff Mark Warren Peary, the executor of the Superman estate, filed the complaint in the Southern District of New York today. According to the lawsuit, the estate is requesting "declaratory relief establishing the Shuster Estate's ownership rights across relevant jurisdictions, as well as damages and injunctive relief for Defendants' ongoing infringement in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia." Given that the defendants are actively preparing a significant new Superman movie and other derivative works for an impending global distribution, the case is ready for adjudication.
A Warner Bros. Discovery representative responded, "We will vigorously defend our rights, and we fundamentally disagree with the merits of the lawsuit." We find out that the territories in question are Australia, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Canada.
Superman, also known by its working title Superman: Legacy, is an upcoming superhero film written and directed by James Gunn, centered around a young Superman coming to grips with his Kryptonian heritage and the death of his human father. It will be the first movie set in the DCU, the new shared continuity of DC movies and TV series following the end of the DC Extended Universe. The film will be released in 2025. #superman #supermanlegacy #dcstudios #dcu #dcupdates

The DC Universe (DCU) is an upcoming American media franchise and shared universe based on characters from DC Comics publications. It was created by James Gunn and Peter Safran, co-chairmen and co-CEOs of DC Studios. The franchise is a soft reboot of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), a previous franchise featuring DC characters. The #DCU retains certain #DCEU cast members while replacing others. In contrast with the previous state of DC Comics adaptations, the DCU features a united continuity and story across live-action films and television, animation, and video games. Concurrent DC adaptations that do not fit within this continuity are labeled "DC Elseworlds". #dcstudios #dcupdates #DCcomics #Batman #superman #wonderwoman #theauthority #supergirlwomanoftomorrow #supergirl #peacemaker #godsandmonsters #deathstroke #suicidesquad #teentitans #theauthority

They did this with Superman Returns and Man if Steel. It never works. Its just a desperate attempt for money from a successful project.
100% as every year comes closer to the Public Domain release of Superman in 2034… they will want to milk any money from this
@@PayneDigitalMediaNah facts! They're just money hungry opportunists!
For real?
WB is among the prominent members of an underground elite group....it'll be fine! In huge debt yet wb still invincible as superman! No worries!!
Can’t do renew the ease of the rights to the character
I like that they couldn't do this before a trailer... before production... before concepts... etc.

@@willcopeland275 HOLY THEN LET JUSTICE BE SERVED
exactly
@@tdotwitz hypocritical idiot 😂😂
It'll be fine. Its just Superman: The Quest for More Money !
😂 can't you blame em
If I'm not mistaken, this also affects any Superman Merchandise that was sold in those territories as well. The Shusters could be looking for compensation for any and all Superman Merchandise that could have been sold. That's money that they were not given. The Shuster estate certainly has a case this time around. And they could be looking for a very large sum of money.
@@Southcaliguy87 research it more. They have been given money over the years. This is a greedy move in the families part
@mitchdavis6001 Considering how much Superman itself was sold at the time and how much WB/DC has profited from this character... Nah I'd be pissed too and id want more. This is on WB. Creators are always given the short end of the stick. This studio owes a lot to the Shusters... i have no sympathy for WB... 🤷♂️
@@mitchdavis6001 The Shusters are not greedy, they want what is in the contract. WB signed it, and have enough lawyers to know they have to honor it. Just like the Scarlett Johannson situation with Black Widow: "But we paid you 20 million!" "yeah, but the deal was for 20% of the profits, a lot more."
@@mitchdavis6001 They got like 1k back in the day and that number is adjusted for inflation…They deserve whatever they’re asking for.
WB’s lucky the Siegel estate isn’t suing them too.
They should have filed the lawsuit in Canada, the UK, or another country that recognizes their claim of ownership. By filing it in the US, they have guaranteed that the court will look at it from the point of view of US law, which means it will likely be tossed out.
@DaveMiller2 no, I do not, but I do know how to research, such as what happened when they tried the same thing when Man of Steel came out, or when Superman Returns came out.
Do you know anything about jurisdiction?
And if it doesn't get tossed out, people need to realize that with all the franchise being heavily mishandled points out to one thing: The Copyright Term Extension Act that was signed into Law back in 1998 needs to be abolished.

@@MINDSPARK-u6e please lay of the drugs man. Nobody asked, and you're out here spewing political ideology trying desperately to relate it to a character that stands above that. I suggest you go touch some grass, but don't smoke it.
The Schuster's have a solid claim. But this happened with Superman Returns and that was resolved and this happened again with Man Of Steel as well and that was taken care of. I'm not too worried about it... Money talks and a nice long discussion will resolve this issue too. 👍
Do you think wb and dc will win this
@Thedarkknight27474 - I'm not sure "win" is the right word. I'm fairly confident that a deal will be reached and that everyone will be able to see this movie (just like the other two times).
@@MorpheusASmith yes they still rooting the movie/money
@@MorpheusASmith its a new movie so itd money they are supposed to recieve.
@Thedarkknight27474its uncertain but they will probably just settle
Same thing happened with man of steel
For real wow I didn’t know that
@@MarvelDCgeek542yeah they got quiet once they get paid because soon about nine years Superman goes to the open domain unless WB buys it so they’re trying to milk the money every time a superman movie comes out before then
@@turrell75 this is different this time
Since 2017
The right went back to the estates
Meaning every appearance and merchandise of superman in the territories without approval from the copyright holder is a violation
WB knows it in their contract yet abuses this
So basically anything Superman related since 2017 shouldn’t have appeared in the territories
But WBD screwed up of course
_“Oh yeah, this was definitely the plan from the start-fucking brilliant, really. The studios and critics got a sneak peek at this cinematic dumpster fire, realized it was going to bomb harder than a blindfolded kamikaze, and decided the best move was to sue themselves. Genius!

Nah, this is a Thuperman movie-no A-list actors, just a bunch of nobodies who look like they either got hit by a bus or barely survived a stroke. Even Superman himself looks like he’s struggling to keep his fucking face from melting. This whole production is drowning in woke nonsense, supported by the same losers who were outcasts in high school and never recovered because they had one woke president (Obama) and then bet the farm on another (Hillary), only to get psych’d the fuck out._
_And of course, the woke crowd reading this will ignore every bit of it, too scared to even sniff a whiff of the truth. Can’t handle the juice, too scared to take a fucking sip of the stoke. Meanwhile, this same lawsuit shit happened with Man of Steel, except that movie was an actual masterpiece. And what did they do? Squandered it. Just like they squander everything else.”_
It's ridiculous how other countries try to interfere with legally binding contracts of other contries. Don’t get me wrong, I think they should have gotten more, but at the end of the day, a contract is a contract.
It is not the government (for once) it the family estate
@@0Mitzuio And contract makes the Law.
@@joeelliott4820no its actually the government. The US can't expect foreign countries to enforce its laws

Great video explaining everything thanks!
Superman HAS to come out, if they win you can say goodbye to DC and they'll milk Batman to death for the next decades.
He does have a point.
Batman's my favorite fictional character of all time but even i want to give other character's a chance😅
They’re so stupid, WBD is gonna win. How many times has something like this has happened in the past. The estate clearly wants money cause they know Superman is going to be a successful film
Several years ago I remember hearing about Bill Finger’s true story and afterwards I felt really bad for him because it definitely sounds like he got a raw deal. However I remembered an old interview that I had seen an old interview I had seen in a magazine once where they gave him credit for helping to design the Joker. Overall I support Bill Finger after everything I have heard about him, and I have heard some similar stories about other writers and artists over the years. It’s very sad and tragic but without a doubt it seems to me when this was more about respect than it was about money and now I’m starting to believe it’s going in a very bad direction. Which makes me wish that it will just get resolved as soon as possible especially because it could potentially affect a movie that I really want to see. I hope in the end this turns out okay! Without a doubt though I also understand that these people deserve our respect but respect and royalties aren’t the same thing anymore!
NO WAY THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING :(
This always happens
Way
Lucky you, it's happening. Glad to be on the losing side for once?
@@danielkeller1337 losing side of what exactly
I not really sure but I am probably assuming that this guy is a salty troll or a hater who wants the dc universe to fail or become like marvel after the infinity war movie's😅.@@SlickAllmighty
Morally... The estate should have the rights. Or, even better, Superman should be public domain.
One studio that didn't even create the character, has no business owning a character that is almost 100 years old, and who's actual creators are dead and have been dead for decades.
The character should be public domain. Any argument against this is flat out wrong.
Finally someone with sense. The creators and their families should own the rights . Unless the creator sells the character 100% to the studio
@@virtualbeast3936that’s not at all what he just said tho.
Just pay the estate a percentage. They were screwed over for years. DC payed a pittance even after they acknowledged schuster and siegel's efforts. Just pay the percentage and move on DC. You had it good for what 70 years? Just pay a percentage and have done. You owe them, and by extension, their families. Be equitable and fair, just like Superman himself would expect. A percentage across the board on everything superman. You don't have to make ALL the money, you can make MOST of the money and be fine.
It’s gonna backfire the estate isn’t gonna get the rights
Anybody can sue anyone, it's a matter of it you win or not.
I remember that story, It was called Strange New Visitor where they were going to replace Superman if they had lost the rights with Mr Majestic from their recently acquired WildStorm imprint created by Jim Lee. If they had actually lost the rights to Superman it kinda would have been okay because personally the original Mr majestic from WildStormis is actually a really cool and interesting character, he is a more militant Superman but unlike other imitation characters that have never gotten it right he has a lot of the traits that make Superman Superman and he was also a little bit more powerful than Superman which was confirmed in the Superman versus lobo miniseries from the Black label but this got change when they introduce him in the New 52 and later in Infinite Frontiers where they make him weaker that Superman and they haven't used him since which is a shame because like I said before he is a very interesting character that I believe deserves at least a solo miniseries or becoming a member of the Superman family.
WE JUST WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE IN THEATERS!!! YOU CAN DO YOUR LITTLE LAWSUIT!!! BUT KEEP SUPERMAN IN THEATERS FOR * US FANS* TO SEE!!!!

Words cannot describe how much I feel for comic/manga writers and artists
Calm down Snyder Cult, They did same thing with Man of Steel and Superman Return.
You can tell there happy because they convince themselves if this movie fails which I doubt it would that they would get they're precious snyderverse back which won't happen anytime soon and I can't wait to see them crying once this movie a successful
Brody you can make longer videos, we actually like you
Who? This is Armin.
Keep them as short as possible. Long videos are a turn off. I am much less likely to click.
Lol u a FAN
Just PR, doesn't matter
This is what happens when a WB movie makes billions and the creators (I know they have passed on) are living at time nearly blind and destitute.
They deserve the money.
No they don't. None of them made or worked on the character. If the actual creators were both still alive then yes
Fucking CLOWN response
They didn't when MoS and they don't now nothing changes except your bias 😂😂
_“Oh, what an absolutely brilliant strategy. Pure 4D chess being played here. The studio and critics took one look at this cinematic train wreck, realized it was going to crash harder than a drunk driver on black ice, and decided the best course of action was to sue themselves. Because, you know, when you’re about to set a hundred million dollars on fire, the best way to cope is with a legal circus-so that when this disaster inevitably flops harder than a fish on dry land, they can blame the lawsuit instead of admitting they made a movie so unbearable it could be classified as psychological warfare._
_And let’s talk about the woke brilliance surrounding this film-because nothing screams ‘Superman’ like a cast of nobodies who look like they just woke up from a medically induced coma. Even Superman himself looks like he lost a fight with gravity and forgot how to walk straight. But of course, the real reason this film is being propped up is so that its cult of ‘woke’ fans-who, let’s be honest, were probably the kids who got picked last in gym class and never emotionally recovered-can pretend the movie’s inevitable failure was some grand conspiracy. Because in their world, the only reason a movie bombs is because of society, not because it was assembled like a Dollar Store jigsaw puzzle._
_Oh, and let’s not forget, these same people-who still cry themselves to sleep over their one woke president-thought Hillary Clinton was about to ride in and save the day. But psych! Reality hit harder than this movie’s opening weekend numbers, and now they’re stuck gaslighting themselves into thinking this ‘Thuperman’ reboot is anything but a $200 million joke.”_
DC and the Shuster estate already has a compensation agreement in place that the courts upheld back in 2010. This case will not go anywhere
The rights went back to the estates in 2017
And they’ve used superman so much since then look at Black Adam, Shazam & The Flash for example
They weren’t allowed to release them in the territories but did so anyway breaking their copyright in the contract
Convenient. I dont know if WB wants to release this now anyways considering the political climate - may work in their favor. Too many idiots out there right now that will hate something just because.
Tired of these people why wait until it's almost time to see it. These estate holders suck! This is the real reason that we haven't had a great Superman game because of these dumb folks!
It's like they don't want this movie or the character to be successful at all
and having it not played in Ireland is ridiculous as well.
Hey CBC2. This was a really good breakdown of the facts. I also appreciated the little history lesson on the origins of Superman to give context. Great video. Thanks mate!
Why is everything against this movie. The devil is a liar, it shall be well.
I remember Gunn was politically outspoken the last time this admin was in office, and I wonder if there's any link w all this flak
@@zmani4379That's a small part imo I don't think a lot is against this movie it's just small minority trying to sway opinions like idiots. A fools errand ppl will watch Superman. 😂😂
@@personperson573 I agree - I was speaking about why a film like this might be targeted at this time, so it feels like "everything's against it" - I do think most ppl will be happy to see this film, including me - but the negative hype is weird
They did the same thing with mos and superman returns
They are gonna try it till its public domain
Now we need David Zaslav FIRED!🤦
They want their payday badly, must not be doing well financially 😂. Nothings going to happen, WB will just pay them and that’s that
The estate is going to Lose
I sympathize with all creators who saw no option but to sell their intellectual properties but they did just that with the character. They sold it. And from the trailer, 90 percent of it--if not more--didn't even come from Siegel and Shuster. Hawkgirl, Guy Gardner, Mister Terrible... Then most of the Superman ideas were born in the Silver Age, Bronze Age, and even Post-Crisis. For moral reasons, I think it would be a good idea to offer the Shuster family a partial share in the character going forward but they shouldn't be legally compelled to do so. Yes, I know they sold the character for much less than he was worth but if we reevaluate how much content creators deserve whenever their material explodes in profitability, it sets a bad legal precedent: that someone who sold something for a price can legally expect more after they agreed on another contract.
Why do people want this movie to fail so desperately? I don’t understand it. This has to be a shameless easy cash grab.
Because they don’t trust WB to do anything good with the DC franchise. WB has burned the bridges way too many times and has lost the majority of the audience. That’s the issue. In all honesty the fanboys are the only ones truly excited for anything DC. The public in general doesn’t care and the numbers don’t lie. Check out the online view counts. The data supports the claim that the public in general doesn’t care about anything DC.
@ You 100% don’t get the point. I am not talking about comic books or the history of comics and what led to what. The Fact is when it comes to modern media, movies and TV, Marvel is king. You can deny it all you want. The money doesn’t lie. WB tried to fast track DC with the DCEU to try to make Marvel money is why the DCEU died. They didn’t care about developing a world for the characters, they just want to get the bags of cash by copying Marvel and doing it as fast as possible. That’s what killed public interest. When they say the teaser for Superman was the most watched WB teaser you have a big problem. Look at the metrics. Superman should dominate any comic book character. But it doesn’t. Right now the biggest comic book character is Spiderman. You can deny it all you want. The metrics don’t lie. Spiderman is king. Until the public at large gets on board DC will never survive. So go ahead rant about what comic inspired what. People don’t care about that, fans do. That doesn’t sell tickets to the public. So go ahead and rant more. You will still miss the point.
@@gherrerajcool story bro but you're not even having the same conversation as everyone else.
Stay in school, kid
@@gherrerajyea like the penguin, like the Batman, like Aquaman, pls shut up
Lol…it’s because Gunn is an egotistical jerk, & couldn’t keep his mouth closed.
Smh 🤦🏾♂️ so lame as a son that now has kids of his own, bro if your father didn’t think about you when getting a contract for his creations maybe 🤔 the plan was for you to work and get it on your own, sad people create all the time I can’t doodle on a paper sell it for $.50 then turn around when I see you made $10 off of it and say I want 5$ no DCs stories and promotion made Superman what he is not just the character being drawn
Throughout the many generations of producing Superman movies which never came close to even being mentioned at the Oscars now the DC and Marvel family want to sue somebody who decided to ‘come out the box’ with original ideas and practicality to draw the audiences back to the Superman franchise movies. It took the Japanese to make a historic award winning Godzilla movie which Hollywood also failed🤷🏼🙄
At 1:54 I realized its not worth viewing further, as I don't care for those regions 🙃
If the contract was signed in America, it’s under American jurisdiction. Courts in other countries can do what they want, but it’s immoral to step in on a contract (if found to be legal) not under your control.
Oh thank God I hope they win, 🙏
Make longer videos like wait for a while for some movie news the compile them for one video i really like your content wish it was longer
I wouldn't be surprised if the Kirby estate tries something similar with Marvel/Disney since they have a new Fantastic Four movie coming out this year too.
Great timing. Maybe they'll grow the f**k up and work things out.
I thought this meant that after 25 years of the author's death the rights become public domain. Not that they revert to the author's estate. How would that make sense?
It’s the estates say as the Superman movie could flop down badly with it not being released internationally.
Really
Lmao stop making up lies 😂
@@willcopeland275Nah they did the same shit during MoS and Superman Returns has nothing to do with Box Office lol
@@personperson573 cash grab
Praying for the estates success....
First time I’ve ever heard him called Jerome lol
I’ll get one of my friends in America to send me a copy when it’s on physical media
Will this movie still releasing the US??
Yes
Nah it'll be on mars 😢
Here's a thought I do believe that in the end they will settle this one way or another $$. BUT there may be some positive things to consider: For one thing it keeps the movie in the news and ppl's mind. Another, if the previous iterations of Superman (the character) had to be tweaked in order to clear this hurdle. It sounds like what triggered this suit is this version is too true to the original character as created/written.
I hope it works cause I hate how this film looks... It's going to suck
GOOD.......bring bk Henry
Now We need Universal to buy DC from Warner Bros.🤦
Oh my goodness 😱😡 , how long is this going to go on.
Better question when will this stupidity ever gonna end?????? 😤😤😤😤😤
I mean superman was announced ages ago and literally appeared in media in 2024 with black Adam and the flash and had a cw show and they chose just before the film release to claim royalties
If anything did come of it it seems likely that it would be an out of court settlement?
I read somewhere they did this to Returns as well
???????????????????
Nope. I don't know what you're on about.. But that doesn't make any sense at all.
They dont necessarily wanna block the movie they just want some of the money coming from the box office they did the same with MoS and lost
Oh my goodness… Are they serious??!… 🫥
This film looks Meh! If they win, and DC loses, no big deal I say.
I forgot about the estate issues.
Don't sell your rights away for pennies. Contracts and choices have consequences
Isn't Superman public domain yet?
No. He'll be in 2034
@karimdavis7065 oh ok. But that's just 9 years.
Thats crazy they shouldve came forward before the movie got made
It won't work they already tried this before does not work....if anything they will get a small settlement....when top gun 2 came out I believe
Hell yeah! Save us from this awful movie. Sue the hell out of them and get the publishing rights while yer at it. The family of his creators see what’s happening to their father’s creation, DC and WB are destroying the character.
Would it be so much to give the creators family say 5% each gross for everything Dc or WB does with Superman for life? I guess so this is where greed has been going on for over 85yrs with Superman. Same for Ditko co creating spider man he got fk all for his contribution. Greed folks is a evil thing when money is involved
Man and this is really not good news right now. I am praying that this get resolved soon rather than later because man this movie needs a lot of financial gain this summer because this movie cannot possibly fail, but I am not liking the news right now.
The estate will most likely lose this case.
@@iraford5788 how do you know they will lose
@Thedarkknight27474 they don't really have a case against WB and DC since they don't 100% own the Superman property, so this will get settled outside of court pretty easily.
will this effect the dcu plans?
Sweek Karma baby!!!
They did this with Man Of Steel and Returns 😂😂
Simple they know it's going to be big. So they want a slice. They did it much later than this with Man Of Steel!
Again? Returns and mos. 😅 always everytime
Ehh only snydercult is celebrating. This is nothing new as same rights issue were brought up by Sony mid MCU filming

people not allowed to have different opinions than you NPCs?
to note: i am a superman fan, even of superman returns (especially the videogame that came out with it), this new movie has TOO MANY characters in it to have enough screen time for each one to do it justice, and alought hoult is a good pick, not one i'd say for Lex
Gunn is speedrunning to a justice league film instead of mapping it out and building the characters, we've seen clark and bruce so many times so one can understand the boredom of their origin being rehashed, and the only way to justify the other heroes is to cut back on his story to fit them in, so then why is it a superman movie and not a movie named ''heroes of tomorrow'' or some shit?
@@knuckles543Great points if the movie was out and you had watched it. Stop crying, you're embarrassing yourself.
@@knuckles543Stay in school, kid.
You need an education more than most people.
@@knuckles543because superman is the main focus and main character. the only one of the heroes that's really gonna get a semi decent amount of screen time is Mr terrific. and u can't really judge hoult yet when we haven't heard him speak. just from the way he acted in the trailer alone I'd say he's gonna be a great lex. I mean even the heroes being in it. its like a big comic book where characters actually appear in things that don't just gave their names on it. like as if other heroes won't appear when a massive kaiju randomly pops up. not trying to put down ur opinions or anything. but a lot of people don't realize some of these things
@@knuckles543snyderfan triggered
Lol why is this a topic? They can't and won't stop the release of the movie. Let the movie pay for the lawsuit and put these people back into the shadows where they belong.
What happens when superman enters public domain
Just one thing after another with James Gunn's Superman, first it was people hating on it having what appears to be a nothing burger case despite showing to be very promising and now the Superman rights being up in the air, considering how WB acquired the rights for the Man of Steel let alone DC Comics was and still is pretty scummy.
Even the thought of the Blue Boy Scout going public domain due to the IP's age is pretty wild, although I can imagine it would only cover those original few issues or so as far as content that's public, however stuff that's more recent like the Mercy Graves character who's the right hand of Lex Luther that was introduced much later I don't think she would fall under that category of public domain.
The only people hating on this movie are the snyderfans majority of people are actually excited for this movie and james gunn is a good director so this won't be failing any time soon
Is Superman not public domain now?
Ah man.
Hmph, this sounds complicated and messy.
Uhhh? What If We Kept The New Superman For James Gunn
Isn’t Joe shuster from Canada
His mother and father initially moved to Canada from Russia and the Netherlands respectively just before he was born but they left when he was only nine and he spent the rest of his life in America. So sure, technically he was “from Canada” but he didn’t have any cultural or familial ties there. So he’s only Canadian by sheer technicality.
I WILL NOT FORGET WHAT JAMES GUNN DID TO DC/CAVILL.. this movie will NOT get my support… and no, this is irrelevant to the director zack snyder before the gunn cultist get angry. snyder or not, Cavils superman was JUST getting started… MOS is a ORIGIN film. he didnt even know how to FLY until the second half of the film.. BVS which was almost ruined again by the studio cuz they didnt release the actual entire film. But superman in that film was mostly rejected by humanity JUST LIKE the comics and most superhero movies. politics, deviation, violence, villains, media, science etc etc. and of course Batman . meaning bvs isnt just about superman but it helped with his character development. Thennn he sacrificed himself just to save humanity!! SO THENNNN now in JL , humanity realizes we need him and he came back perfect! he was established, smiling, fast af, confident, powerful, and just 100% ready… then teased a perfect superman coming back in BA And thennn Gunn stopped it!!!! wtf!!! he was just getting started!!!!!
Cavill cant act. Deal. Also you've never read a single comic
But Joe was canadian this is stupid
I thought this crap was already settled?
What does British and UK copyright have to do with the u.s
I DONT KNOW AND I LIVE IN THE UK AND IM EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE
It’s do with the estates and their territories outside of the US
Basically since 2017 they should’ve pay license and had permission before hiding superman in those countries since 2017
In many media’s including Black Adam, Shazam & the flash
That’s a lot of violation yikes 😦
This is what he does. THIS IS WHAT HE FREAKING DOES! This is what WB does. They actually give us a movie with high anticipation and they ruin it by TRYING to screw it up. You can have your pathetic lawsuit, but LET FANS HAVE THIS MOVIE ESTATE!!! *LET!! US!!! HAVE!!! THIS!! ONE!!! MOVIE!!!!* PLEASE!!!! BLOCK IT IN THE U.S. AND IM GOING TO SECRETARY OF STATE AND DEMAND THEM THAT CITIZENS WHO HAVENT COMMITTED CRIMES TO PAY LESS IN TAXES! And have people who have committed crimes and who have criminal records to pay more in taxes.
James gunn is a good director and never had made a bad movie so idk what your yapping about
@ I never said James Gunn ruins things! Huh?!? Did I?! I’m talking about WB. They always just swoop in and take the credit and screw it up!!! I never said James Gunn so idk what you’re replying about
@@MatthewMurdock-2015 so what though don't see any problems with that if you sone against wb take that stuff to them
@ I would if I knew where their headquarters were. Plus, my words against them would just fall on ears more deaf than a deaf individual.
@TheGrayGhost92 it ain't that hard to look it up my guy either way I still don't understand why you mad at wb for no reason
James Gunn Dc Universe It's already dead Before it began.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Get out , animtard
Just like the snyderverse was already dead before it began 😂😂😂 you snyderfanboys want this to fail so bad which it won't and you will see
@@bloodmoonlycan5394 and even it fails you still won't get your precious snyderverse back you'll see soon enough
@@SlickAllmightyFr😂 but I hope it doesn't happen to the current universe tho😅.
@@kmmahmud7177James is a good director so It's very unlikely it's going to failed and once it's a success I can't wait to see what they haters got to say then
GLAD to see this lawsuit...perhaps Hollyweird will stop making Superman reboot!!! Krypton the dog? so there's enough room in the pod for a baby and a dog?? and the dog ages the same as Superman??
why is this your problem tf. the dog
cope a little harder mate
Wtf are you yapping abt
Oh you snyderfanboys would like that wouldn't you 😂😂😂
The dog was a test subject before baby Clark was send to earth
💀💀💀💀💀💀
😊😊😊😊😊😊
They are looking for money
Why two of of?
good
I've got the feeling the superman movie that is coming in will be another downfall similar to flash ! Lots of nonsensical acting and ridiculous soap opera drama with childish projection!..
....just shut up....don't watch it or go watch the movie like a normal person 😂
Calm down Snyder Cult, They did same thing with Man of Steel and Superman Return. Go and Watch Rubbish and Idiotic Rebel Moon.
