I like theories. I like evidence more.
I enjoy discussing where a DC story could go. A good theory makes you look at a scene differently or notice a detail you missed. What frustrates me is when a possibility gets repeated until people start presenting it as confirmed news. A dramatic thumbnail doesn’t make the evidence stronger.
Three different conversations
An official announcement tells us what the studio has actually said. A reported story tells us what a journalist has learned, with whatever sourcing and limitations they explain. A fan theory tells us how someone interprets the material. All three can be interesting. They shouldn’t be given the same label.
Go back to the original
If somebody says a filmmaker confirmed something, I want to see the original statement and its context. If a headline claims a casting decision, I want to know whether it means signed, in talks, or simply rumored. Those are very different stages. Sometimes the most useful sentence is “we don’t know yet.”
My reading order
I start with official statements and announcements. For reporting, I tend to look at established entertainment trades such as Deadline and Variety and check what their articles actually say. Being a recognizable outlet doesn’t make every prediction a certainty. For a theory, I ask whether the story supports it—or whether somebody just really wants it to happen.
Keep the fun, lose the certainty
There’s nothing wrong with a wild idea if it’s presented as a wild idea. I’m happy to debate it. But I don’t want an entire imagined future sold as an inside scoop. Show the source, explain the inference, and leave room to be wrong. The actual movie should still get a chance to surprise us.
