Gospel 2; It's a bird, it's a plane, is it our Messiah?

 Our new Superman, gray with biblical/messiah allegories, is finally hitting the big screen. The first trailer was so good that it made grown men cry. (I'm not being sarcastic.) 2012: JULY: Hollywood Reporter said, “one fan was literally brought to tears after seeing it, reduced to a blubbering mess as he said how much he loved it.”  Here's that famous trailer: The egos started to grow. For Snyder, him directing The Man of steel is the best thing since slice bread that could happen to the character. “We had to act as if no film has been made. When we approached it, we had to say, ‘this is Superman for the first time,'” Snyder said to Hollywood reporter. “And you can’t say, ‘Oh, now let’s steal a little music.’ So yes, it’s awesome music, but Hans (Zimmer) is going to do something awesome.” Easy there, tiger! The film is not even out yet.     But then… came the early reviews. 2013: JUNE: Two days before the release, IndieWire compiled the early reviews, and you

Gospel 1: It all started with Superman in the middle of Batman's trilogy

Although Man of Steel came out in 2013 (*gasp* 10 years ago!) the movie starring Henry Cavill and directed by Jehovah himself (according to some intense fans on the internet) Zack Snyder, had been cooking for a long time.  This is the beginning of the story that would unite some of the most obsessive and toxic fans on the internet. More toxic than K-pop and MCU fans. Bringing laughter, pain, and embarrassment to many people for the next decade.  Actors, studio execs, producers, writers, and directors all got caught in the hurricane. We need to go to the beginning to understand the mess that became the DC cinematic universe aka Snyder verse aka DC films, aka DC Elsewhere.  Let's start. 2010: OCTOBER:   Deadline broke the news that Zack Snyder will be directing Man of Steel, the first Superman film since the failed Superman Returns in 2006 which starred Brandon Roth.

 A Twitter user named Neb tweeted: someone should make a proper extensive timeline of the warner brothers DC drama, that period in december alone where the craziest gal gadot/henry cavill headlines were dropping like twice a day shouldn't be forgotten https://twitter.com/NebsGoodTakes/status/1627453958976581632  Sure, that would be easy, but in my opinion the Warner Bros DC Drama began long before James Gunn and Mr. Zaslav. It began all the way back in 2012 after The Dark Knight Rises.  What will they think up next? Was the question in everyone's minds during those wild internet days.

I'm gonna deep dive. I hope you read, and even if you don't read, that's ok. My passions are history and timelines.
