    Gunn makes a slightly snarky comment online.

    Press: SLAMS! EVISCERATES! THUNDERS! ANNIHILATES! DECIMATES!

    I keep seeing James Gunn this and James Gunn that in connection with Batman. I thought that was great, a grand old SF writer still cranking out work and cashing in on visual media products like GRRM did. But nope. Different James Gunn. No prob, but oh well.

      I still always see James Gunn and think Tim Gunn first (spouse loved Project Runway, so it was the first Gunn name stuck in my head) and always have a brief moment of thinking things like Tim Gunn in his deep voice saying “It just seems a little costume-y, Bruce. What if you just had a nice satin drape off the shoulder instead?”

      I’ve recently been rewatching an animated misfit team up show written by Gunn (1966 vintage) called Creature Commandos. I recommend it of you’re into that sort of thing. Most of his stuff I’ve enjoyed has a great but unconventional soundtrack and CC is no exception!

        I gave it a pass because DC, but then I saw Gunn and Tudyk in the credits and watched a few episodes. Not life changing so far but worthy of a sensible chuckle.
