Who Gets the Blame? Are James Gunn and Peter Safran Running out of time?

Welcome to the NerdGen Report! This week, Pablo and Brian dive into the massive fallout from Supergirl's historic box office disaster. With tracking showing a 70% drop in its second weekend and an estimated $150 million loss, we discuss why female audiences utterly rejected James Gunn's modernized vision for Kara. We also analyze the shocking quotes from director Craig Gillespie and writer Ana Nogueira, who publicly threw Gunn under the bus for the movie's terrible Jimmy Eat World needle drop and controversial ending. Next, we cover the growing panic at DC Studios. Are they rushing to stuff the entire Justice League—including Batman, Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter—into Superman: Man of Tomorrow to save the cinematic universe? Plus, we break down explosive rumors that Matt Reeves is officially sounding the alarm to Warner Bros. executives, claiming James Gunn has 'no plan' and might ruin the Batman IP before The Batman Part 2. Finally, we offer a glimmer of hope with glowing early test-screening reactions to the R-rated Clayface movie, which draws visual inspiration from Batman: The Animated Series. We also discuss how Sydney Sweeney's Barbarella and Zendaya's Bourne reboot will test the female-led action genre.
