Give us Our DC Universe

[Verse 1] We are a movement, we are real, We just want DC with some childhood feel. Give us Superman with that Reeve appeal, John Williams soaring, make the legend feel real. Give us Lex as a businessman with power and class, Like Smallville’s Luthor, making deals as they pass. With Man of Steel action, but let Supes save the day, No killing Zod — there’s got to be another way. [Chorus] Give us our universe, Give us our universe, Cause we don't want Salkind universe, It really was so much worse, Give us our universe, [Verse 2] No Pa Kent tornado saying, “Let Pete Ross die,” No evil Jor-El, no Supes saying goodbye. No stalking Lois, then leaving her behind, Just Superman and Lois with a love we can find. Give Batman black with the yellow oval on display, Burton-style Batmobile, make it look the part, okay? Arkham-style action, Joker venom and a grin, Let him fall into acid — that’s how the Joker should begin. [Chorus] Give us our universe, Give us our universe, Cause we don't want Schumacher universe, It really was so much worse, Give us our universe, [Verse 3] Give us a Robin who can actually be cool, So non-comic fans don’t think he’s a fool. Two-Face should be tragic, not a joke who laughs all day, And Gordon should be competent, leading the way. Bring back that Elfman theme when the Bat takes flight, Give Wonder Woman a story that feels strong and right. Let Flash be like the CW — just better written this time, And Green Arrow with Black Canary — is that such a crime? [Chorus] Give us our universe, Give us our universe, Cause we don't want that darn Snyderverse, It really was so much worse, Give us our universe, [Bridge] And give us Green Lantern as a space opera grand, With aliens and Corpsmen across the stars we can span. Give us constructs and Oa, not Nebraska on its own, Not a Lantern who spends the whole film wishing he’d gone. Why is getting all of this so damn hard to do? We just want the DC that made us fall in love anew. Why is it that we DC fans just get so much bad luck, While Marvel gets to reign supreme all the time, what the fuck? [Chorus] Give us our universe, Give us our universe, Cause we don't want James Gunn's universe, It really is so much worse, Give us our universe,
