James Gunn’s upcoming DC Universe reboot is set to relaunch the iconic comic book characters on the big screen and give them more traditional portrayals. This will contrast the “darker” elements seen in the preceding DC Extended Universe, also referred to as the “Snyderverse.” James Gunn has commented on how the tone of the new movies will differ, though it might not be the instant solution that some think it is.While Gunn’s words promise a wider range of tones and scopes in the DCU, it was a lack of a central plan and identity that ultimately doomed the DCEU. This can be seen in how divergent the movies ultimately were, not to mention their seemingly following the trends of other superhero film franchises. Ultimately, the success of the new movies will depend on whether DC can finally pick a course and stick with it.If there’s one prevailing issue with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s that the movies are far too comedic. This removes stakes from the movies’ events and turns the entire affair into a giant joke. Thus, it’s hard to maintain interest in a franchise that doesn’t take itself seriously. Conversely, because so many of the movies follow this formula, it has the effect of making them feel far too similar. That’s even the case with characters who are rarely (if ever) lighthearted, with Thor: Love & Thunder turning the epic Norse god into a something of a buffoon.RELATED: Lobo’s Treacherous Road to the Big Screen
