Explosive Revelation: James Gunn's Shocking Comments on Previous Batman Films Unearthed!

Highlights

James Gunn's past comments about Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan's Batman movies have stirred up controversy among DC fans.

Concerns have arisen among fans regarding Gunn's ability to lead DC Studios, following his critique of these widely praised comic book adaptations.

While certain fans find merit in Gunn's remarks, considering them as a genuine reflection of his own preferences, others raise doubts about his discernment when it comes to appreciating quality films.

James Gunn, the co-CEO of DC Studios, has once again found himself facing backlash from DC fans. This time, it stems from remarks he made over ten years ago concerning Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan's Batman movies.

Gunn's appointment as co-CEO of DC Studios led to a divided fan base, with some believing he would save the franchise while others feared he would be its downfall. While his active presence on social media has been beneficial for fans seeking updates on upcoming DCU projects, Gunn's recent statements regarding Superman: Legacy have reignited animosity towards the choice to replace Henry Cavill in the role.

Gunn is facing backlash for an 11-year-old rant he made on his personal Facebook page criticizing Burton and Nolan's Batman movies. The comments, which have been removed, expressed dislike for the writing and soundtrack of Burton's film and deemed it boring. Gunn also criticized Jack Nicholson's portrayal of the Joker. Additionally, Gunn had negative opinions about Nolan's first two films in The Dark Knight trilogy, stating that they were not classics and did not think highly of Batman Begins. While he was relatively kinder towards Nolan's movies compared to Burton's, his critique still targeted highly acclaimed comic book films.

Fans of the films and critics of Gunn's leadership at DC Studios have expressed their displeasure. Some fans are now questioning the implications of Gunn's negative opinions on the DC Universe, especially since he praised the underperforming movie The Flash as one of the best superhero films ever made. Concerns have arisen over Gunn's standards for judging a movie's quality.

Despite being posted on his personal account, which is linked to his official Facebook account, some of Gunn's supporters believe that the comments regarding previous Batman films were made by an imposter. Others defend Gunn's right to express his opinions and argue that he articulated valid criticisms of past Batman movies. Although Gunn has since deleted these comments, the potential damage may have already been done.
