With how good Superman turned out it will only help with Supergirl IMO.   I don't expect huge box office numbers, but if the DCU can be steady with the quality of it's movies then it'll bring in more over time.  Plus I expect the TV shows on HBO Max to be solid as well.

A good sign is that Supergirl filming has ended and it is now in post-productions; editing, visual effects, etc. Such an extended period improves the odds it'll be a quality production. The cast is good, so we're down to the script and direction.

Grew up with Superman in the 80s and did not like the original Supergirl (1984) movie. Tried to get into Supergirl on CW but I stopped watching halfway through the first season. I can't remember exactly what it was that stopped me, but that was it for me. Watched all of Superman on CW, liked it a lot even though the last season or two got too mushy for my liking.

It's odd that Superman got a rating of 7.8 and only got 4 seasons, whereas Supergirl is rated at 6.2 and got 6 seasons!

They were shite, movies and tv, they've always cast well though. I've always liked the supergirls actresses but the stories portrayed have been terrible. Shame because supergirl comics have had good stories.. hopefully the new one will be better

Since it's Gunn in control and he knows his comics inside and out I don't worry about the scripts.  They're pulling from one of the best Supergirl comics out there for the movie, I expect it'll turn out good.

From what read is that a) DC didn't want two different Supermans running at the same time (find that excuse BS) and b) CW didn't want to continue with superhero shows anymore.

Speaking as someone who doesn't read comics and is not a Marvel fan. I didn't mind some of the early movies, but after a few I got bored. I do actually like the occasional DC movie and I do like the old Superman & Batman films. I even didn't mind Superman 2025, it was decently entertaining and fun.

This looks utterly awful. She seems so unlikeable, just a pile of cringeworthy memes slapped together into a character.

But I am definitely not the target audience.

People who know the comic the movie is based off of will understand her personality in the trailer.  The plot of the movie will explain it and her growth.  Some of you need to relax.   Good movies can have bad trailers and terrible movies can have great trailers.  You won't know which is which till you actually see the movie.

So they definitely got HER right, I shall await the rest of the movie to fill in some of the detail.

Single, lonely nerd comments on female's appearance in a comic-book adaptation it's almost memeworthy if it wasn't so sadly pathetic.

....Krypto was the best part of Superman (the movie was otherwise boring and the story itself was dumb, IMO). 

Not sure about this one either...looks like just another run of the mill superhero movie.  Perhaps it's just fatigue...

Krypto is a good CGI boy though.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
