Entitled Chapter One, “Gods and Monsters”, a portion of what will unfold between 2025-2027 includes five movies including the Gunn-penned Superman Legacy, a new Batman and Robin title, The Brave and the Bold, a Swamp Thing feature, and films centering around Supergirl and the deeper universe DC rogue squad The Authority. On the TV side, there’s an animated series, Creature Commandos written by Gunn, the Peacemaker spinoff live action series Waller with Viola Davis, a Lanterns series, Booster Gold and Paradise Lost.

Of all the TV series, Safran and Gunn seemed most excited for “Lanterns,” which Safran described as “a huge HBO-quality event” that is “very much in the vein of ‘True Detective.'”

somebody photoshop a green lantern mask on my boy

so they are going down the "you have to watch a bunch of TV shows to understand the story" route

[cax16]

It all sounds great,I trust Gunn and his choices. Let’s see how this all works out.

Superman: Legacy is going to be the real test for "CBM fatigue" 

 

We'll see if the GA will come out for another reboot

James Gunn gotta do Jeff Kaplan style updates everytime

[interiorgatordecorator]

it all just seems very exhausting

the mcu is already too much, not sure itll be that easy to get general audiences (outside of superhero fans) to care about another fully interconnected supehero cinemtic universe

I also dont trust Gunn all that much

 

[XXR & Friends]

Hopefully the DCU can retain a level of uniqueness that separates it from the MCU, while not having that weird “sheen” the DCEU seemed to have.

[WittyUsername]

Why exactly do video games need to be connected to the DCU? This all feels excessive.

I agree. That's why, outside of The Batman and Joker 2, the new DC slate will be a real indication of the GA feeling towards CBM's and if there is actually "fatigue" or not

[WittyUsername]

I forgot to mention, but I can’t say I care for the idea of making a Batman & Robin movie set in the DCU, while the Matt Reeves universe is still going on. That’s too much Batman. Why can’t we just get Robin in the Reevesverse? 

[Joyous Legion]

Sure. Some of these movies sounds fun.   
 

I think it’s good that they aren’t rushing any teamups and are starting with bat and supes+some eclectic ones.    

At the end of the day if these movies (and shows) are good people will come out and the franchise will be strong, and if they aren’t then we’ll get dcu 5.0 or whatever.

why cant they make lanterns as a movie. Well made Green Lantern movie should do great. I am not a big fan of starting on tv and then moving to big screen. Original plan for Green Lantern Corps was to use other fringe lanterns while keeping HL/JS for movies. 

 

That said its good to see they are starting with a big picture. Now let us see how well they execute.

Imagine if the Flash becomes the highest grossing movie of the year.

if they are just standalone stories it's not a big deal but if they are all integral to understand the story then that would be a bad idea

yes because he can say the movie sucks and Ezra is out before the film releases. 

[Eric is Quiet]

Feel like having two Batman universes (three if we include Joker) all going on at once seems like absurd overkill and very confusing for the normies. I get Batman has to be in the big shared universe, but like...come on. That's just too much, on top of the HBO Max Penguin show

The movie probably doesn’t suck. Everything that’s been said about the movie from insiders suggests that it’s apparently a winner.
