Both with an amazing and extensive roster of kick-ass heroes, villains, and stories. As well for many of us, superheroes were our idols as we grow up feeling our spare time with action and incredible storylines.

That is the reason why there are so many superhero movies lately. Besides the fact that they’re pretty cool. They are also necessary. Since a blend between the Hollywood and the superhero industry is a win for everybody.

As the superheroes and their stories are pretty cool. Their enemies are equally amazing. As you have some of the evilest beings ever created, along with an epic character design and backstory. With looking at some of the fan favorites like The Joker, Harley Quinn, Lex Luthor or Venom is more than enough.

New director.

Even though Gibson has had a turn in his career and is close and known by Warner the guys from the production house aren’t just sitting and waiting while Gibson makes his mind. While the actor-director is supposedly familiarizing with the material Warner is also looking for other possible directors. Like Daniel Espinosa being one of their favorite candidates if Gibson declines.

All of this after director David Ayer expressed his skepticism about some elements of the film. Even though he stayed with DC. Since his latest project is Gotham City Sirens. Reuniting him with Margot Robbie and concentrates on DC’s female villains.
