So, Henry Cavill is out as Superman. John Rogers had a nice series of tweets explaining what Warner Brothers' problem is--they don't like the DC characters/universe, so they can't get into it and make it work. The fun thing is the wild speculation on the next Superman. And, of course, there is wagering. I got an email from a sports book which gave the following odds:

I think the odds on MBJ are way too low. There is no way that he is almost even odds. I think most of the names here are jokes, and I would definitely bet the field (that none of the above is the winner).
As a Marvel guy who loves the DC shows on TV, there seems to be a simple solution: get the TV people to make a movie or three. But that is too damn obvious.
Anyhow, I will continue to make mine Marvel as the only Marvel movies I didn't like very much or at all were Thor 2, the Hulks, Age of Ultron.... and that's about it. The TV shows are more of a mix.
And as Stan would say, Excelsior!!!
