And I think like, you know, already with the first Lanterns trailer that came out, that's another beat of like that.

I'm almost like, that feels like it has as much of a connection to what's going to be happening in the DCU as it could to like,

a Yellowstone show or something, you know?

That's a jacket-face comment.

I say that as, for me, a compliment.

Oh, I know.

Oh, I know.

I'm listening to you, horrifying.

But, yeah, and I think, like, when, you know, I'm a fan of James Gunn's approach and his superhero films.

I think when he took over the DC Connected Universe, a question that some people

fans had was like how much will that be she's like you fucking doubters no no not at all because I think this was like a completely reasonable thing to wonder like how much of this will be about trying to port and inject

that very particular approach into all of these other things.

And I think there is obviously some umbrella approach, undoubtedly, but to be able in each property to say, what is this supposed to be?

And to empower the people who are making those stories to really shape them creatively is super exciting and cool.

And I think very much in the spirit of what people love about comic books.

Right.

Exactly.

Where like the run that you might form a deep connection to or the penciler, the artist, the writer who generated a certain run that you love or reinvented a character or whatever the case may be.

Like part of the joy and like kind of eternal repeatable resource of comic books is that there's something that is tethered to a core beating heart that you love and care about.

And then every time you pick up a new issue or you download a new issue or however you're consuming it now, it can feel a little different.
