Realistically, how many duds (and this is looking to be a pretty catastrophic one) can this nascent DCU tank before it gets course-corrected, or abandoned entirely?
We shouldn’t be putting up with any “but it’s FUN” spin here, you can’t have your second (!) film in a franchise intended to lick the wounds of the past decade of fuckups be performing like this; to say nothing of the fact that the era of CBM universes sleepwalking to success is definitively over in the global zeitgeist.
They need a reality check. The time to try and crowbar a DC cinematic universe into cinemas was years ago, and they already kiboshed it once. They must accept they missed the bus that Marvel managed to catch and just move on.

The movie is already pretty much DOA. If the reviews aint stellar then its gonna be an absolute bloodbath.
Edit: Oh god. Its not looking good.

55 start on Metacritic from 11 reviews. Pack it up boys its so over.
59% Rotten start from 46 reviews on RT. Throw the damn towel.
Reposting:
I just cannot understand for the life of me why Gunn is always going on and on and on about scripts being so important and then for one of the best written comics out there he gets…. a woman who doesn’t have one single film credit to her name and is known for being a small time actor? And he gets her on Wonder Woman and Titans? Huh? And most reactions say the script is the issue here so I really put the blame on Gunn for not getting someone actually accomplished.
Oh and for Clayface he got the dude who wrote fucking 47 Ronin, Snow White and the Huntsman, and The Snowman to alter a script Flanagan wrote. And meanwhile over at the competition, they got the creator of Beef and a Bear writer doing their C list team and the writer of Challengers on Spider-Man. What are we doing man?
Okay I’m gonna go with 73% and an average of 6.3 with a metacritic of 64. Certified fresh is the goal
31% on RT incoming
The year is 2016. I’m on Reddit waiting for the Rotten Tomatoes score for the second movie in a DC cinematic universe.

Here we go. Good reviews are the only thing that can maybe help it a little bit at this point, but it’s still losing money regardless. If it gets a rotten score then it’s joining the Blue Beetle and Shazam 2 club.
My biggest red flag was how often they kept changing composers. It tells me that they were having trouble putting a tone together in the editing room.
If this movie gets bad reviews, the composer changes is how I saw it coming. I hope it overcomes that messiness.
This sub has been always been reactionary, prepared for doom for the DCU and then glaze for the DCU when clayface comes back and probably does decent because of it’s low budget and low competition month.
But there is also no way this isn’t a major bomb with the reviews so far lol, this is not even going to make the marvels numbers.
6 metacritic reviews and t’s a….48 😬😔
Very shortly we will see if Supergirl becomes one of those “Why did it financially underperform? It got good/great reviews” or one of those “Well of course it financially underperformed it got average/bad reviews”.
48 on Metacritic oof.
I will likely check this movie out but having a superman film, followed by a supergirl film, followed by a clay face film and then followed by another superman film, is a choice.
In a normal world I feel we would have had superman and then Batman and then a supergirl or whatever else you went to do.
I feel strongly that establishing your anchor characters first in the dcu is important
I’m going to guess it’s going to end up somewhere in the 70s for general critics and maybe high 60s for tip critics. Not a disasterous score but not anything that’s going to help the film either.
If it counts for something, it will be better reviewed than Supergirl with Helen Slater
Even with great reviews and audience scores this movie will have no momentum whatsoever
Hmmm, maybe giving your 170 Million dollar blockbuster to a screenwriter who has never wrote a movie before, wasn’t the best idea
60-65% Rotten Tomatoes is my guess. Anything below that may sadly make it a biggest flop of the year contender.
55% Metascore
This needs great reviews and idk if it’s gonna get them. I’m expecting something similar to MOTU’s reception.
My guess somewhere in the high 50s. The movie is DOA but I think it was DOA from the start. The final nail for me was the runtime. A runtime around The Marvels to me means this film was probably edited down to nothing after a ton of test screenings.
It’s fucked
Variety: “‘Supergirl’ Review: Milly Alcock Takes Charge in a Dystopian Superhero Movie So Flat It’s Super-Horrendous”
Oh god :/
Was thinking this could be solid but the first reviews are not good
As someone who is interested in her story and absolutely loves Krypto… the space gang setting I’m getting from the trailers is not it for me.
James Gunn is fumbling the DCU hard. We’re getting two Superman movies and a Supergirl movie before we even get a Batman movie. He’s too focused on the obscure side characters because Guardians was such a hit. He’s forgetting to build up the main characters people actually pay to go see. And instead of starting over with his own Batman, we’re getting a confusing is it in the DCU or not Batman sequel.

One things for certain, Jeremy Jahns is going to make the most insufferable review possible.
Dan Murrell and Jeremy Jahns both negative reviews.
THE GUNN HAS OFFICALLY JAMMED
Supergirl is looking at sub-200 mil WW. Close enough, Welcome back DCEU.
So is this the script that James Gunn was raving about all the time how it was extraordinary and exceptional.
Maybe somewhere down the line, it will be revealed that something happened behind the scenes.
Infact, the movie seems so *GOTG* coded that essentially ghost directed with Gillespie being a front man for this.
No wonder he is already moving on to his next project before *Supergirl* opens washing his hands clean of this.
And the fact that Gunn is trusting a novice writer, Ana Noguiera, for all of his DC movies with this and upcoming *Wonder Woman* and *Teen Titans* also does not bode well for the future of the DCU.
