What’s something DC would gain by tanking the Superman ip?
I highly doubt this mismanagement is done for petty reasons, like I don’t think they just have a seething irrational hatred of the guy. That being said, it’s obvious the stuff they’re doing is intentional. So, why? Is there some legal thing I’m not seeing?

Superman brings in 277 million a year, he's doing all right as a property.

You don't like what DC does with the character, but your opinion is not the only opinion.

Gen X is in charge and Gen X only knows how to live in a dystopian nightmare world, it's what they grew up with, it's literally not possible for Gen X to understand Superman in any capacity.

>I don’t think they just have a seething irrational hatred of the guy

It's literally that simple.
Most people in Hollywood are liberal and globalist. Superman embodies conservative values and Americana. Hollywood is currently obsessed with diversity, Superman is straight and white as they come. Hollywood is full of Atheists, Superman grew up in Kansas a state that is full of religious conservatives and always goes red during presidential elections.

They dont' want to make a Superman movie where he's actually Superman. Because they see Superman as the embodiment of everything they hate. Even though that's just not true.

Just watch the Kevin Smith story about superman lives or whatever it was called.

WB is ran by out of touch lunatics who think the people outside of their bubbles on the coast are thick retards who need to be enlightened.

They won't let just normal decent folk create movies.

everything you've written here is wrong

Your acting as if Superman is unique in his mismanagement. DC is unable to mange ANY of its properties outside of Batman.

Prove it.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Ever since Siegel and Shuster created him, Superman has been about tolerance, not fear and hatred, He's never been depicted with strong religious bias. He's always been globalist, concerned with whole planet and all people everywhere, Have you read any Superman comics?

Nah, Shazam and Aquaman did fine.

Start by reading some Superman comics and getting to know what you're talking about.

Superman wants you to stop being so prejudiced.

We’ll see how they manage them. One successful movie does not a well managed franchise make. Can they repeat that success? Transfer it to other mediums? Ect.

You want everyone to fail. It's a common weakness.

I'm saying that's how the current rainbow brigade liberals in charge of hollywood see it. Not that it's true. They don't like conservative Superheroes or characters. And they see Superman. A straight white conservative male who grew up in Kansas and went to church on sundays. As the embodiment of everything they hate.

It's also why DC turned his son gay. They hate the characters who embody or at least appear to embody those old timey 'conservative' american values and see the only way to keep the brand is to either destroy him (Injustice Superman, DCEU Superman), or replace them with a diversity hire (LGBT Jon Kent, the upcoming movie reboot with a black openly liberal Superman).

Where the fuck in his post did he say Superman was racist you illiterate mongoloid.

Shazam and Aquaman were successes because WB didn't micromanage them to oblivion the way they did Batman V Superman and Justice League. It's also the reason why DC has a much better track record with it's animation department. because the chairpeople making these boneheaded decisions with the live action movies see the smaller less important productions like the cartoons, and the video games as beneath their notice.

You're looking at everything wrong,. No one at Warners 'hates" Superman, he's a product they make money off. There's no deeper agenda,. If including gay or minority characters means more sales, that's what they'll offer, They'd publish nothing but Superman crossword puzzle books if that's what sold. There's no emotion involved, it's business,

You're wrong, I'm a Warner executive and I fucking hate that red-panted flying faggot.

You atavistic throwback, how much damage did you receive as a child? "Conservative values" always include racism and hatred of religions other than Protestant Christianity,. It's no secret,.

A EEG of your brain waves would flatline.

I'm your boss on the 45th floor. Clear out your desk by 5:00.

>"Conservative values" always include racism and hatred of religions other than Protestant Christianity,
That's only true in your HIV-ridden faggot brain, you uneducated cuck.

I am hoping their post was satire

Superman has no time for your racist bullshit.

I'm assuming you're getting assistance posting, because it seems unlikely you can work a keyboard without help. Fox News has shorted out so many synapses that you have trouble staying within the lines in a coloring books,

Of course conservative values are all about fear and hatred. That's the point of them.

I'm Toby Emmerich and you're fired.

Nope, but I'm halfway convinced you're just a troll samefagging. Phone post much?

>No one at Warners 'hates" Superman, he's a product they make money off. There's no deeper agenda,
If that's the case then why don't they make a Superman movie where he's y'know Superman? A humble person from humble small town beginnings with humble small town values who's a good person who does good for goodnesses sake without an agenda? The only possibility I can think of it that they just don't like the character because they don't like middle america or their values or their religion at all.

If it was just one bad Superman movie or one bad run of comics I'd say it was all just poor management. But with how it seems they've gone out of their way to screw Superman over with poor decision after poor deliberate decision. It just seems more like malice than incompetence.

Raising the stakes, I'm Elon Musk and I bought where you live by eminent domain and am having all belongings thrown out into the street,

>Of course conservative values are all about fear and hatred. That's the point of them.
You have the political knowledge of a twitter anime-fapping tranny, follow the herd and neck yourself before you cause any more embarrasment to your parents.

I'm Harry Warner, posting from beyond the grave. Make Superman a broody black queer trans-man and have him rape Batman, I command you.

It has nothing to do with whether they like the character or not,. It's what they think will sell. They may misjudge what the public wants but that happens with movies of every genre,.

Burger King doesn't hate their burgers, they're just trying to sell as many as they can, Same with Warners and Superman, he's a way to bring in revenue and nothing more, They'd rerelease the 1978 movie to theaters if they thought enough people would buy tickets,

>broody black queer trans-man
Huh...
That reminds me.
I have a fuckbuddy to call.
LIttle slut will lose it if I don't dick them down every once in a while.

Well it hasn't sold! Making a dark broody superman hasn't sold! Making his son gay hasn't sold! The only thing they haven't tried is making a version of the movie where Superman is a hero from a small town in kansas who's a good person because good is good is good.

Evil cannot comprehend Good. It can only corrupt good. And we all know modern hollywood is evil as sin.

Not only is it impossible to take your opinion seriously, you're not quite brain-dead enough to be amusing, Don't be ashamed of being a far right hate-filled chud, embrace it. Wear your white pointed hood on your white pointed head openly.

Just wait till footage of the Ta Nahesi Coates superman movie comes out.

The traditional Superman sure wasn't selling either, American comic books are on the way out, they had their time and it's over, Of course, corporations will see if anything will keep comics on life support a little longer but the end is near,

Evil can comprehend Good perfectly well, don't kid yourself. Hollywood has been corrupt and venial since the silent era, that's not news. They only made "decent": family pictures because that's what sold tickets,

Superman is championed by right wing shitlords and must be cancelled immediately.

You base your entire politcal knowledge on twitter threads, you likely never opened a book in your life for fear of being triggered and, going by how much hate is in you for things you don't even know and people you've never meet, you certainly never had a girlfriend.
Touch grass, have sex.

Right after TERMS OF ENDEARMENT 2: EMMA LIVES, right?

Yes idiot.
The problem is that Superman as a character is on his way out if you can't keep the IP fresh in peoples minds with good media.
They've failed to do that.
The cartoons are all trash and the live action has been an unmitigated disaster
The comics are done

I can't see where people are getting this great superman character they are holding up as a reason to use the IP.

It's just kept around because its' in the collective subconscious of society.
But heres the thing
That shit is fleeting and all it takes is 5 years of bad supermen to change the Icon into a negative thing for a new generation.

It makes zero difference who champions him, If the property brings in revenue (and it does) then Warners will keep him active, This is business, nothing else

It is hilarious how completely wrong you are. I have never been on Twitter (or Facebook), I have more books in my house right now than you have physically touched in your life. I was married for six years, I live out in the country and mow my own lawn.

Good God, you'd be wrong if you guessed what day of the week it is, Your perception is so weak.

Were you dropped on your head as a baby or is that Fetal Alcohol Syndrome that made you this way?

Superman is kept around because he sells tons of merchandise every year, in the area of almost $300 million., Even if he just moves Halloween costumes and toys, that's more than most properties are worth.

That's the bottom line. Everything else is just gravy,

>It is hilarious how completely wrong you are. I have never been on Twitter (or Facebook), I have more books in my house right now than you have physically touched in your life. I was married for six years, I live out in the country and mow my own lawn.

Of course, I'm sure your beloved wife is enamoured by you shitposting on an anime forum with those lawn-mowing arms of yours, as is by your deep knowledge of those Fox-watching, Klan-joining conservatives that you got from all those books you've read. Ever been to the Moon? I'm sure you have.

I was married, son, I'm not any more. Learn basic human manners before you get out into the world.

Here's some of the reviews I wrote years ago:
dochermes.livejournal.com/tag/

>I was married, son, I'm not any more
Gee, I sure wonder why, Dr. Faggot.
Also, livejournal? I see, just like those sassy liberal landwhales, you go girl.

Superman doesn't sell to anyone under 30 on it's own.

It NEEDS to the superman iconography to remain untouched and unsullied in the minds of the unaware public.
If not then that 300million a year is going to drop and drop fast.
We all know fag superman is to shill to the LGBTQA that runs the social media space like a fucking mafia.
We all know that.
But is the damage to the brand in the eyes of the normies who don't live online worth it?
We all know who decided DCEU superman should be dark and gritty.
But the drop in sales for supes and batman was obvious to everyone who was paying attention.

It damaged the IP.
Badly.

BAD MEDIA OF IP DAMAGES ITT>

Child, hush, By the time you learn better, it'll be too late for you, Honestly, you make Reddit seem like a good idea.

Then go there, I'm sure you'll fit right in, you geriatric fag.

You're starting off with the wrong premise,. Social media space is swamped with mouth-breathing ignorant conservatives who drag their knuckles on the ground when they walk. But they don't have as much purchasing power at the rainbow gay lGBTSLSMFT reindeer that you hate so much. Corporations sell to whoever will hand over dough, they'd pander to arsonists and we'd have comics and movies about burning down houses if there was money to be made,

Nah, reading posts by people like you is like watching trained animals trying to do tricks they can't quite manage, Fun to watch, a little cruel maybe

Are you stoned?
Do you live on the same earth as us?
...
Fucking troll. I thought you were serious.

Just a reminder that the people making threads about how to fix Superman have never and will never read or watched a single piece of his media.

If you actually spent all that time informing yourself instead of lurking here maybe you'd come off as something that isn't a braindead, paranoid outcast.

Haha are you Dr. Fag? Your worldview is just as ignorant and retarded.

You're cool

Coming from you, that shows a lack of self-awareness that's absolutely classic. You remind me of a bird slamming into a mirror.

Not to someone with your sadly limited perception, though. You seem like someone who wonders where the bread went when you pull toast out of the toaster,

Thanks, I know.

>n-no u
Great comeback, bet it took you all the books in your house to come up with that.
