We’ve seen impatient fans get up to a lot of unruly and unpredictable activities on social media because they had nothing better to do as they waited for their favorite piece of pop culture to make a comeback, but the phenomenon surrounding James Gunn‘s DCU reboot continues to leave us dumbfounded. In fact, even the filmmaker, who is a veteran of this stage, isn’t sure how to react anymore.
As we try to wrap our heads around the latest DCU rumor connecting Superman: Legacy to the… erm, adult industry, Marvel VFX artists have come out yet again to lambast the corporate for their ridiculous expectations and deadlines.

While it seems like all the director does these days is deflect these wild rumors, this one is leaving him utterly speechless.
When one fan asked for clarification, Gunn simply wrote: “Oh my God, you can’t possibly believe that.” I think we’re getting really close to breaking James Gunn, folks.
