‘Titans’ Cameo Rocks the Multiverse as Comic Book Movie Fans Forget How Fun the Source Material Can Be

HBO’s Titans gave fans a little taste of what to expect The Lightning before it races to theaters later this spring. The series included one damn good cameo that had social media users immediately debating whether or not direct current made the right choice to bypass Grant Gustin. The actor bore the title of Scarlet Speedster on the CW’s TV show, which ran throughout the drama-filled production of The Lightning.

Meanwhile, it just wouldn’t be our favorite fandom if people weren’t busy yelling at James Gunn for sins he hasn’t yet committed. Fans are furious at the director’s treatment of a character he hasn’t even gotten his hands on yet. In a nice twist of events, it seems the official DC Twitter account will incriminate the kerfuffle and finally prove Batman’s potty humor streak. With the return of Michael Keaton on the horizon, The Bat weighs heavily on fans’ minds. Many fans have taken to social media to find out which directors got the Dark Knight dirty and who best brought Batman’s villainous counterpart to life.

Grant Gustin proves once and for all that Flash is superior

The ninth episode of Titans The fourth season aired on HBO Max this week, and fans were quick to applaud CW star Grant Gustin’s portrayal of the Scarlet Speedster. Without spoiling too much of the episode, Gustin’s Flash makes a brief appearance in an omniverse crossover event and shows off some seriously impressive moves. Fans were quick to cheer The Flash, declaring Gustin’s version the best performing of the two. The brief moment reaffirmed fans’ belief that Gustin’s Flash is superior, and with nearly a decade of growth since its debut in 2014, it’s no wonder why. It’s a canon that Miller’s adaptation of the character was inspired by Gustins during the Crisis on Infinite Earth Crossover even, and the latest take has fans wondering once again why DC execs stiffened Gustin while the actor portrayed the beloved character beautifully.

With messages that The Lightning will be reshot again to cram as many cameos into the ending as possible, and it’s hard to deny that fans have every right to be concerned about the trade. The title was in development for ten years, and while there are several celebrities who have been vocal in their support of the film, it just wouldn’t be DC if the film lived up to everything it promised.

James Gunn critics have to realize that comics are actually ridiculous

James Gunn really can’t take a break from DC fans. The director has launched ludicrous attacks since his announcement as co-CEO in November 2022. The hits keep coming with hordes of critics who claim the director doesn’t do justice to certain characters because of his infantile sense of humor. It seems that some adult fans need to pick up a comic book every once in a while, or maybe revisit some of them Batman: Animated Series Episodes that defined the Dark Knight for so many. The official DC account recently shared a tweet showcasing it how ridiculous The Batman can be, allowing the Lady to rip a badass in the Batmobile’s back, unlike Harley Quinn.

We hope the trip down memory lane can help some fans find a little zen and remember why we love comic book escapism in the first place.

Don’t call it a comeback, he’s been here for years

Speaking of Batman, the DC book has so many iterations that it’s hard to keep track of. The character has been part of pop culture since the 1940s and has published at least one series every few years since the first printing was discontinued before the start of World War II. While the campy 1960s incarnation holds a dear place in the hearts of many fans, most are betting on the character reinventions by Christopher Nolan or Matt Reeves. Redditors dabbled with the battle of the bats for quite a while before a brave soul visited the site to remind fans that the fearful loner who is now becoming synonymous with the Dark Knight was a tale first told by no one other than Tim Burton was pushed. Now is the perfect time to reorient fans’ brains to ’90s offerings when Michael Keaton reprises his now-iconic role as Batman later this spring The Lightning comes to the cinemas.
