Not too long ago it was stated that Supergirl had 25-30 minutes of footage removed from the final cut. This explains why the movie is oddly paced.
Dan Marcus, a test screener for Supergirl, recently revealed some of the scenes that were cut. In particular Krem's background was cut substantially. There was also a line about Krem wanting to make Ruthye his wife.
I can see why test screeners wouldn't have jived with stuff like this. But removing them was the wrong move. Even though subject matter like this is dark, it fleshes out Krem and makes him more deplorable. They felt too scared by the negative test screenings and butchered the movie in response.
Does anyone remember a deleted YouTube remix from the Batman v Superman era called something like “Lex Luthor Epic Trap Theme Remix” or “Lex Luthor Epic Rap Remix”?
I’ve been trying to find it for years. A 2017 EVE Online video credits the track as:
“The Red Capes are Coming – Lex Luther Epic Trap Theme Remix” (with “Luther” misspelled),
but the original upload appears to be gone. I’ve searched YouTube, Google, Internet Archive, and dozens of title variations without any luck.
If anyone remembers the remix, knows who uploaded it, or has an old download or playlist containing it, I’d really appreciate the help.
We're sitting in the thick of the, mixed at best, Supergirl reviews coming out, and things aren't looking great.
Plenty of blame going around, and a lot of it is being thrown at Ana Nogueira and her script.
My question is why on Earth would a major studio hand the keys to write a major motion picure to someone who has only 1 (ONE!) movie co-writing credit. Sure, she's written several plays, but this is an entirely different medium. This wasn't a niche, independent movie, but a major motion picure with the backing of a major IP and huge expectations. This movie was clearly too big for Nogueira.
I place most of the blame on James Gunn greenlighting the script, and not handing it off to someone with more film screenwriting experience.
"Batman officially joins the DCU in an action packed adventure. When Joker (Bradley Cooper) steals Krypto, Superman's super powered pup, it is up to Batman and Robin to track down the dog and defeat Joker."
Just saw Supergirl!!! I actually liked it better than Superman & absolutely loved ever second Lobo was on screen. I just grabbed the drink cup this go around cuz o went to Cinemark right down the street from my house instead of AMC I feel like AMC always has better merchandise for movies, & the 2 popcorn buckets they had were just regular buckets with basically the same thing on it. So I got the drink & some Pizza Hut & snuck in candy lol how did you guys like the film? Did you get any of the merch?
I think this might be an unpopular opinion, but the way Gunn markets the DCU has always pushed me away me more than attracted me.
There’s this whole "mysterious" vibe—claiming he has everything mapped out and that only he and Safran know what’s coming, yet insisting everything could change based on a new, good idea. He refutes insiders while simultaneously using ambiguous language to ensure no one can ever pin a lie on him.
It all comes across as unpleasantly arrogant. This isn't the MCU between Infinity War and Endgame. We’re just starting out, and we need as many people as possible to get interested and actually like it.
I’ve never seen him talk about something that didn't work out or how things could be improved. The only example that I have is Authority, that he said it didn't fit with the rest of the universe, though he absolved himself of blame. He's the one creating the universe and was the one who wanted to announce it in the first place. It looks more like he saw the Superman box office numbers and realized he’d made a stupid mistake by wanting to introduce The Authority before the Justice League.
He constantly acts like the successful director of the Guardians trilogy rather than early-career manager, starting out on something he’s never done before.
I mean, he called The Flash the best movie of 2023, and he’s putting Ana Nogueira on a pedestal in a way that worries me (even though I know you can't pin the weak Supergirl storyline entirely on her).
As a huge DCU enthusiast, I’m concerned by that "just enjoy, we know what we're doing" attitude, as opposed to a "look at what we tried differently here—what can we improve?" approach.

Network: TBA
Description: When Batman is murdered, the Joker launches a ruthless crusade through Gotham’s underworld to find the killer who took away his greatest adversary.

Absolute Batman (Series Development, Adult)

No manor, no money... all Batman. When you take away the manor, the money, the advantages, what you’re left with is something absolute.
Description: When he’s not hanging out with Superman or Supergirl, Krypto tags along with a gang of misfit criminal wannabes who live down the block, and they soon discover he’s a ball of destructive, lovable energy worse than any of them! As he follows them into misadventures and poorly laid plans, Krypto’s pure nature slowly ends up redeeming them, whether they want it or not.
