The question is, though, how much of a voice does he have?

I don't know that a lot of the DC movies that have been made so far have been made by people who are passionate about the characters as they are presented in the comics. They may be passionate about the characters as they've chosen to interpret them, but all too often those interpretations end up being not all that true to what fans of the comics love about the characters. The producers/directors seem more interested in putting their own spins on the characters than in adapting what was in the comics as is. Taking liberties is fine; the Marvel movies aren't perfect copies of the comics, either. The thing is that I think even the changes made to the MCU still feel in the spirit of what it is based on, while the DC movies feel more like they weren't made with the spirit of the characters in mind.</div> | Superman | Aug 04, 2018 |  |

| 40390 | Lunchables | <div>Back in my day Lunchables used to come with Dijon mustard in a squeeze pack for your cracker sandwich. It made the perfect faux bird dropping when applied to a windshield of a vehicle from about two feet up. Little brown spots and everything. They also came with an Andes mint.<br></div><div><br></div><img src="/images/postImages/1533331551350ca0f511f693a6e4667ee9d2d2837a.jpg"><div><br></div><div>I still get lunchables occasionally for my boys.
