Explore the DC Universe’s Next Decade of Projects

DC’s cinematic landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, marked by the appointment of James Gunn and Peter Safran as co-CEOs of DC Studios in 2022. This move signals a shift towards a more interconnected and multifaceted approach, aiming to rival Marvel’s successful MCU. The traditional DCEU moniker is replaced by the DCU, as declared by James Gunn in a recent Instagram video, reflecting the evolving narrative.

In January 2023, Gunn and Safran unveiled an ambitious ten-year plan for DC, featuring two films and two HBO Max series annually. The inaugural phase, labeled DCU–Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters, kicks off with Superman: Legacy, a film exploring Superman’s intricate balancing act between his Kryptonian heritage and human upbringing.

The roadmap includes several notable projects:

1. Superman: Legacy (July 11, 2025): Not an origin story, this film delves into Superman’s struggle with his dual identity. James Gunn is set to write and potentially direct, drawing inspiration from Grant Morrison’s “All-Star Superman” run.
2. The Authority (TBD): Described as a significant movie, The Authority features characters from Wildstorm, an imprint acquired by DC in 1999. Gunn hints at potential inspiration from Mark Millar’s comic runs.
3. The Brave and the Bold (TBD): Introducing the DCU’s Batman, this film focuses on a storyline where Batman mentors Damian Wayne, his estranged son raised as an assassin, based on Grant Morrison’s Batman run.
4. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (TBD): Adapted from Tom King and Bliquis Evely’s comic, this film portrays a darker version of Supergirl, emphasizing her traumatic upbringing on Krypton.
5. Swamp Thing (TBD): Exploring the origins of Swamp Thing, the film draws potential influence from Alan Moore’s renowned run on the character. Director James Mangold is reportedly in talks for the project.

Additionally, the “Elseworlds” category features standalone projects like:

1. The Batman 2 (October 3, 2025): Following the success of Matt Reeves’ The Batman, the sequel is part of a planned trilogy, with Robert Pattinson reprising his role.
2. Joker: Folie a Deux (TBD): The sequel to the critically acclaimed Joker, this film, featuring Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, takes a unique musical approach.
3. Constantine 2 (TBD): Despite DC’s content restructuring, Keanu Reeves returns in a sequel to the 2005 horror film, with Francis Lawrence directing.

On the TV front, upcoming shows include:

1. The Penguin (Possible 2024 Premiere): Colin Farrell reprises his role, exploring the character further after his appearance in The Batman.
2. Peacemaker Season 2 (In-Development): Following John Cena’s character from The Suicide Squad, Season 1’s popularity guarantees a continuation.
3. Waller (TBD): Viola Davis returns in her own show, delving into the character of Waller, offering potential fun cameos from Team Peacemaker.
4. Creature Commandos (In Production): An animated series integrated into the DC cinematic universe, following military superhumans.
5. Paradise Lost (TBD): A Game of Thrones-style approach to Wonder Woman’s birthplace, Themyscira.
6. Lanterns (TBD): An HBO Max series featuring Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart in a “True Detective-type mystery.”
7. Dead Boy Detectives (TBD): Spinning off from Doom Patrol, this show follows ghost boys solving supernatural mysteries.
8. Kite Man, Hell Yeah! (TBD; Sometime in 2024): An animated Harley Quinn spin-off featuring Kite Man in a superhero version of Cheers.
9. Booster Gold (TBD): A live-action HBO Max series following Booster Gold, a time traveler who poses as a superhero using future technology.

This extensive lineup reflects DC’s commitment to a diverse and interconnected storytelling approach across both film and television platforms, promising an exciting era for DC fans.
