The obvious answer if all the angles have been covered is don't make another Superman film at this time, there didn't appear to be any mad public desire for it.
It seems this is a typical studio exec conversation
Anything new and interesting coming in
Anything at all
Come on guys
Okay fuck it which comic book story can we repeat again
Superman really ?
Oh with a dog this time? okay people like dogs
Don’t mind them been replaced or swapped if it benefits the story and it’s a decent film but they tend to try and shoehorn “the message” into everyone one, take the Acolyte absolute shite, The Marvels I could go on. Don’t get me wrong it’s not the only problem, like I said the pure amount of shite they’ve put out has damaged the IPs. I liked Superman but it was instantly forgettable, yet I’ve watched Reeves and the Snyder verse numerous times.I'm an older male and I really liked the Superman movie. It was bright and colorful similar to the Suicide Squad movie he made which is definitely an adult film :) sure there were no f bombs or heads exploding but I'm happy to watch a good film if it's a good film. No f bombs or heads exploding in the OG Star Wars and plenty of old guys still into that.
I think "woke" people are misunderstanding the girl boss race swap criticism as being old men don't like women or ethnicities in movies. As an old white guy I'm happy to watch movies with female leads etc as long as it's a good movie :)
Trouble is Superman is pretty much invincible, that’s why I liked how Snyder went, if we had got to see his finished Trilogy with Darkseid it would’ve been up there with Infinty War.I understand that, but DC is, specifically, in the comic book market, so it competes with Marvel.
They HAVE to be visible.
So the go-to is what it is to rebuild the brand.
Outside of 'The Batman', who else would they focus on to any true level of interest to carry the DC title?

Now we just get another reboot and seeing the latest artwork looks like it’s Braniac in The Man of Tomorrow as the villain with Superman and Luthor teaming up! I just wish we could’ve seen something like this
Yeah the IP's are damaged for sure. Superman and Thunderbolts were ok though in my opinion. I still mean to watch Andor but it's things like Boba Fett and Acolyte that put me off :)Don’t mind them been replaced or swapped if it benefits the story and it’s a decent film but they tend to try and shoehorn “the message” into everyone one, take the Acolyte absolute shite, The Marvels I could go on.

Andor is very good in fact the best thing since Rogue OneYeah the IP's are damaged for sure. Superman and Thunderbolts were ok though in my opinion. I still mean to watch Andor but it's things like Boba Fett and Acolyte that put me off :)

The Electrical Life of Louis Wain. 8/10.
Quite an odd little biopic film about victorian serial hobbyist and artist Louis Wain, who was responsible for anthropomorphised cats in and around 1900. But also a rather tragic tale of a hard struggle with mental issues, which i found to be done well, and rather touching. Recommended, on channel 4OD.
And clearly his later work was a precursor to the psychedelic movement of the 60s, decades later. Very interesting character.That's a decent summary, much how I found it. Cumberbatch is pretty remarkable in it.
