James Gunn continues to use social media as a tool to communicate with passionate DC fans… for better or worse. Quite often, Gunn will hop onto Twitter to respond to a particular form of backlash, or clarify mistaken reports before they run rampant on a Reddit sub. Gunn is upfront and transparent with the DC fans on social media, and sometimes even lets them know things they probably didn’t want to hear. Like the fact that he had been hired to write his Superman movie, "Superman: Legacy," six months ago. Or, in other words, long before Warner Bros. let Henry Cavill make a video proclaiming to fans that he was returning to the role.

Gunn took to Twitter to address an IG story that talked about two of his movies being in pre-production over at WB: the animated "Creature Commandos," and a Superman movie. When fans pushed him a little on the timeline, he revealed via Tweet that he had been hired to write a new Superman movie six months ago.
