I just hope we get a replacement. I hope this doesn't mean the end of DC movies for the foreseeable future.

But I will be glad that every single post about DC online won't be taken over by Snyder vs Gunn diehards.

I like most everything Gunn did (Still haven't seen Supergirl, will probably be the one I don't enjoy from the sound of it), but it's never a great sign to have this at the start of a new run of movies meant to be tied together.  At the same time I'm also glad to see Gunn return to a pure creative role as I think he's great at that, so it'll be interesting to see the next couple movies and to see where he goes next, see however long he continues with DC and to see if we find him returning to Marvel at all or if he just goes down a different path.  I'd love to see him do some smaller, less casual appeal, projects like he did the story for Lollipop Chainsaw.

We're starting to get an idea of what's gonna happen at DC Studios. I'm so happy to hear Skydance is still gonna move foreward with DC movies.

It looks like they are gonna be focused on bringing The Justice League to the big screen. With Jeremy Latcham at the head (who was part of Marvel Studios Phase 1).

I look forward to see what happens next. I hope it's better than what we've gotten from gun. Well I really did like uis Superman movie, there's not much else that I've liked during his tenure.
