While films based on DC Comics have been made since the late 1970s when Richard Donner made
Superman: The Movie, the blockbusters have been doing things very differently in the last decade. In 2013 Warner Bros. released Zack Snyderâs
Man Of Steel, and with it launched the DC Extended Universe â an expansive continuity that sees some of the greatest superheroes ever created â including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the entire Justice League â occupying a single world. Itâs a canon that continues to expand, with new movies coming out every year, and while thatâs a great thing for fans, it can also be a touch problematic for newcomers trying to get a grip on things.

In the weeks since its long-awaited release,
Zack Snyderâs Justice League has continued to dominate pop culture. Fans were thrilled to finally see the titular directorâs four-hour long vision for the project, and thereâs already been calls to #RestoreTheSnyderVerse. But thereâs also been some controversy over the ongoing investigation and accusations made against the studio by Cyborg actor Ray Fisher.

After mere days in theaters, Godzilla vs. Kong has outgrossed Wonder Woman 1984 worldwide.
Safe to say,
Godzilla Vs Kong is a big hit. Especially by pandemic standards. Warner Bros., who co-financed the movie with Legendary, is undoubtedly happy with the results. To illustrate just how well the movie has done so far, the latest entry in the MonsterVerse has already surpassed
Wonder Woman 1984, both in the U.S. and internationally, at the box office. This, among other things, illustrates just how vastly improved the situation with movie theaters is now compared to December.

A new report now claims that there were tensions between Whedon and Gal Gadot, with the actress said to be unhappy with Wonder Woman’s creative direction after Zack Snyder departed the project. Not only that, but the studio’s hand-picked replacement allegedly threatened her career if she didn’t go along with his ideas, and then bragged about it afterwards by saying he was deliberately giving her dialogue that he knew she wouldn’t appreciate.
The biggest clash, sources say, came when Whedon pushed Gadot to record lines she didn’t like, threatened to harm Gadot’s career and disparaged
