The Next Generation of DC Movies and TV Has Arrived...

“The DCU’s a multiverse, but we’re going to be focusing on one universe from that multiverse,” explains Safran. “And if something isn’t DCU, we’re going to make that very clear. So, strictly adult fare like Todd Phillips’ Joker, or kids animation like Teen Titans Go!, we’re going to make it very clear that those are DC Elseworlds, just the same way that they do it in the comic books.”

The first series that we’re doing [...] is Creature Commandos.

Bring it on, I'm lukewarm on James Gunn but I want this universe to succeed.

[BluBonnet]

Hopefully Supergirl will finally get her solo film in this new continuity... Don't care if she's the same or a new Supergirl....

If at first you don't succeed...

Peacemaker and Amanda Waller are already confirmed to return.

Waller is getting her own TV series, while season 2 of Peacemaker is planned for after James Gunn will be done with Superman Legacy.

I love Aquaman so I do wonder what will happen if Aquaman 2 is a huge hit. I love James Wan too and feel Gunn would be nuts not to continue utilising his skills. Obviously Wan has a great relationship with WB and probably has carte blanche in a lot of ways due to how much money he has made the studio but I wonder what Gunn's plan will be with regard to Momoa and Wan.

Sounds like they have a vision. That's good.

Still, we heard all of this back in 2013/2014 when BvS was announced and we all thought it was going to change the landscape. Lmao!

The tone was peaceful and nothing bad was said. Let's leave it at that. Don't add fuel to a non-existent flame.

Wow, that's a pretty big gap between the first and second season of Peacemaker then.

Yes but at least Gunn is holding to his promise of “we’ll keep what works and throw out what doesn’t.” Jason Momoa did reveal a four year contract on his Instagram after meeting with Gunn and Safron. Not sure if it means Aquaman or supposedly Lobo. But at least he is safe.

Universe seems optimistic. They should try for cinematic galaxy first.

While I like Jason as Aquaman a lot. I really hope he's gonna be Lobo. Just let him go full Momoa and have a blast with the character and I think you got a winner.

Plus you can do so much with Lobo. Can be all over the galaxy causing havoc collecting bounties. Or going toe to toe with Superman on earth because he feels like being a dick that week. Very versatile.

I wonder why nobody wants to start a cinematic universe with Justice Society. That would be amazing and would separate from the well known characters and from the Marvel formula.
Follow that up with a Legion of Superheroes movie and you got yourself something completely fresh.

[BluBonnet]

A Legion of Doom movie could also be pretty cool.

A Justice Society movie set during WW Ii would be awesome.
