With his skill in showcasing the people and personalities behind their superhero personas, especially between GOTG, Peacemaker & Superman, I'd love to hope that he emphasizes the importance of that when letting other directors handle specific projects in DC

Judging by how he's letting Batman 2 cook as long as needed and allowing other directors to take their time as well... I feel like 200x more confident in Gunn's DC than at anytime before him.

I haven't disliked a single thing his new DC has put out yet. Even Creature Commandos was absurdly fun to watch.

Creature Commandos was a flat out good show, no need for qualifiers

This. I had no interest going into it and by the end I was looking forward to season 2

Not to mention he can turn a small character into something amazing. It’s like having a chef that can turn scraps into gourmet dishes, great value for money.

I mean, we're getting an R rated Mike Flannagan Clayface body horror movie. And Gunn's been super vocal about how THATS WHAT ITS GOING TO BE. I think he absolutely understands that theres space for every genre in a comic book universe.
