This might be the best thing to happen to the DCEU.

yeah he's a good director, while is films have a brutality to them, even his lightest film "Stardust" which is great btw, he does add enough levity, and decent pacing to keep it from feeling heavy.

This should have happened in the first place! yeah sure maybe, WB had a Mark Millar script, but i'm not sure what was in there, could have been good, or bad.....like that Joss Whedon WW script, people were upset it wasn't made, since Joss had made The Avengers, but then the story was released and people backed off.....since it didn't sound great. i mean almost had that JJ/Brett Ratner Superman Flyby movie..........

If there is one thing Mattew Vaughn is good at, it's adapting Mark Millar. And that usually involves throwing his bad ideas out the window. If Vaughn can make a superman movie with the same heart as Kick-Ass, X-Men First Class and Kingsmen on twice the budget as any of those movies with WB/DC money, then let him.

It just seems weird that they didn't pick him up after X-MEN: FIRST CLASS like they did Bryan Singer for Superman Returns.

I know what you mean about Geoff Johns. I'm not even a fan of his comics but even still I don't think he knows what the movies need. My main point about Vaughn adapting Millar stems from him knowing what to cut and what to change. If Vaughn enters this pre established universe he will focus on the elements that he needs to tell the story he wants to tell. And it will be a story with heart behind it that will stand on its own. I loved the councelor and thought his script was great, at least the one I read before seeing the movie.

He is certainly not a conventional writer. In any sense. Great story teller though.

I hope sometime in the near future Christopher Nolan directs again, not Batman related, even if it's just for one movie. I'm a DC man at heart but it's been nearly four years since MoS and the DCEU movies haven't been very good at all. It's been hard to maintain interest lately, Vaughn coming into the equation is very good news. I hope he signs on.

I hope he signs on. i don't think Nolan has any interest in the comic world at the moment, or if his style would work well now. his films are heavily grounded, and we've just entered the fantastical, even films like inception and interstellar while grand in scale, are rooted to science or at the very least tries to be. i want to see Nolan try something less grounded after Dunkirk...........................like Akira.

I agree with that, if Akira has to be remade (and we know Hollywood) I'd rather Nolan remake it above anyone else. It'll feel like it's own animal compared to a frame-by-frame remake, that's what I love about Nolan. He brought Batman back to the big-screen but made it feel fresh and unlike any other.

Kingsman: haven't seen it. X-Men: First Class: no, I don't like it. Kick Ass: just no. Stardust: long enough ago as to be a non-factor.
Plus, I don't like this Superman and I have no desire to see him continue being dark and brooding.
