James Gunn Responds to Batman Logo Change Controversy

if you have spent some time online in the last week or so you have probably seen a controversial new Batman logo that's clearly the logo for Batman Brave and the Bold And it exists with absolute Batman because I don't know conspiracy theory reasons anyways though let's talk about why James gun cannot change this logo and why it's not the Batman Brave and the Bold [Music] logo okay so if you have been following along with what's been going on in the comics a brand new DC Universe is being birthed out of well um DC Comics as of right now it doesn't seem like it's any sort of spin-off or anything it's like DC is doing their own ultimates Universe where we're getting fresh new takes on characters stories and all this and it's meant to be completely separate and a new jumping on point for DC fans and hopefully in their eyes not even just DC fans like new comic book fans in general and this is going to be a completely new universe devoid of what we know and in for new twists and turns okay now that we got that out of the way one of the most controversial things that they revealed is the new bat logo SL bat emblem and um you know I said this somebody posted it or commented on our Facebook page and my reply was if I look at it if the first thing I can see is exactly what they're trying to sell me I go okay that makes sense you know it's the does it pass the eye test when somebody shows you a new Spider-Man or Superman or Batman logo the moment you look at it as a fan of that even if they don't tell you what it is does it pass the eye test if somebody was to show me this and say what is this I would not think bat logo right out the gate now seeing it here okay I see what they're going for but still it doesn't really look like a bat logo I mean it's this giant ugly fat emblem thing I can't really explain it I don't like it it's not for me it's more going in the direction of Frank Miller's bat logo which I didn't like either and here it is I don't like it and um this caused controversy because it's the Batman reboot logo and people are like confusing this with James gun's Batman Braven the Bold which this is not James gun was asked hundreds of times I counted in social media posts under his very own posts about changing this change it we don't like it we don't like that this is Brave and the Bold he said it's not it's absolute Batman and then when asked to change it he revealed he can't he has no jurisdiction with anything Comics he does not call the shots for DC Comics so he can't touch this and um yeah that's really what it is if you don't like it fine I don't like it either but it's out of James gun's control and um it's not the Brave and the Bold logos so I mean that's all we really got here outrage over nothing and certainly if you don't like it I get it neither do I but again it is what it is and the logos change like every couple years so it's not going to be permanent [Music]
