James Gunn Criticizes Lazy Superhero Movies.
TL;DR Summary
James Gunn, co-chief of DC Studios, says the new DC films will avoid franchise fatigue and focus on storytelling fundamentals. He thinks recent superhero movies have become lazy and generic, with too much emphasis on spectacle. Gunn is currently working on his "Superman: Legacy" film, with auditions already taken place. The comments come as "The Flash" is projected to lose the studio around or just over $200 million, putting it on par with other expensive studio flops.
