We’re going through this yet again with DC... Reaction & Breakdown to
James Gunn and Peter Safran are leaving as the heads of DC Studios, and Marvel veteran Jeremy Latcham is taking over as President and Chief Creative Officer on December 1. Gunn and Safran say they’re returning to creative work, so they’re not disappearing from DC altogether. But what does that actually mean for the universe they’ve been building? skydance.com
I’m going through what their DC era actually put on screen, what was announced and is still out there, what’s already been put on pause, and what’s supposed to be coming next.
The DCU projects released during their run: Creature Commandos, Superman, Peacemaker Season 2, Supergirl, Clayface and Lanterns. The Penguin also arrived during this stretch, but it belongs to Matt Reeves’ separate Elseworlds corner. And then there were the DCEU movies already in the pipeline as the handoff happened: Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash, Blue Beetle and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Those were part of the transition, rather than the new DCU slate Gunn and Safran were building. DC
What’s on the announced or upcoming list? Man of Tomorrow is in post-production and scheduled for July 9, 2027. The Batman Part II is in production, but it’s an Elseworlds story, separate from the DCU. The People v. Gorilla Grodd has finished filming and is expected in 2027. Gunn says he and Safran have also been engaged on another DC project he’s writing, but we don’t know what it is yet. skydance.com
Then there’s the bigger list of projects that were announced along the way: The Brave and the Bold, Swamp Thing, Booster Gold, Waller, Paradise Lost and The Authority, plus Creature Commandos Season 2. Some of these have had little or no recent news; The Authority was paused, and Waller and Paradise Lost were reported to be no longer in priority development. So an announcement is not the same thing as a guarantee that a project is still moving forward. DC
I’m bummed. I’m also trying to figure out what happens next.
What do you think DC should do now: keep building this universe, change course, or start over?
