Sony's Marvel universe ends with empty "Kraven" panel at CCXP, marking the conclusion of failed experiment in Spider-Man-less superhero films.

    The Spiderverse movies are (so far) pretty good. Sony could have leveraged that into a franchise universe. Or, they could have run with popular characters (Michael Keaton’s Vulture spinoff?). Instead, we get Morbius, Madame Web, and Kraven. 3 back benchers nobody asked for.

    I heard Sony is dicking with the last Spiderverse script.

        I kind of disagree. it was a good show, but absolutely felt like it could have been anything other crime drama. I didn’t feel like there was any real point in making it about penguin.

          I’d argue it was a great way to show the immediate effects of “The Batman”. What the trauma of the flooding did to the common people of Crown Point and the power vacuum created by the death of Carmine Falcone. It also setup Penguin’s rise to power which means he will likely play a significant role in the Batman Crime Saga’s future.

          From a storytelling point of view, I can absolutely appreciate how the show organically grew the plot and setup Penguin’s roots into Gotham’s underworld.
