Ben's Take puts DC fandom into a Superman-shirt reaction
Two new Shorts pair a wordless mood piece with a question about James Gunn and Peter Safran.

Ben Rolph steps back from the camera in a blue Superman T-shirt and lets the soundtrack do the talking. A gentle nod, a downcast expression and the caption "Being a DC fan feels like this right now" turn his latest reaction into a small portrait of superhero fatigue, with a little hope left in it.
That Short was the most watched of Ben's Take's two uploads this week, reaching around 1,700 views. In the comments, one viewer retreats to the dependable comfort of the comics; another picks out the Superman (2025) soundtrack.
The companion upload, "James Gunn and Peter Safran have left DC Studios!? #dcu #dc #jamesgunn #wb #superman", puts a question in its title, rather than establishing a departure. Both new Shorts are the channel's busiest uploads for daily views, followed by October's speculation about Grant Gustin returning as the Flash. That earlier video takes a photograph of Gustin and Gunn together on the Clayface red carpet as its starting point, not a casting confirmation.
Overall, viewing is quieter than usual, while subscribers held steady at 111,000 across the week. Among nearby-sized film and television commentary channels, The Rest Is Entertainment had a much busier week, adding subscribers as well as views. For Ben's Take, the fresh material stays close to familiar territory: DC uncertainty, Superman affection and the enduring possibility of another Flash appearance.
