I love the chapter title "Gods and Monsters." I really like the cohesive nature to keep the animated voice-overs tied to film. The consistency is so important to keeping fans engaged in long-term storytelling.
I'm a big fan of the old cast of the DCEU. And I know plans get changed all the time, especially in the film industry. But the way he describes everything in this video makes me really want to believe that all of these projects and the ones after them will come to fruition. My fingers are crossed. DC, you'd better not disappoint the fans any further!
I almost had a heart attack when he said “The Brave and the Bold” that animated Batman series was my childhood!! It’s the reason I want Deadman, Red Tornado and Etrigan in live action!
Amazing news to hear from Gunn! This guy knows what he is doing and I can't wait to see what he brings to the theaters and tv!! Hope to see Swamp Thing for sure! Of course the others too!
James Gunn vai ter muito trabalho a fazer, em não só entregar filmes bons (o que eu n duvido que ele faça, já que ele vem acertando em sequência), como tbm em consertar a imagem da DC. Todas os projetos que ele apresentou parecem ser bons, mas até a gente ver algo mais, vão ficar só no "parecem", mas boto fé total no James Gunn, um diretor trilhões de vezes melhor que o Snyder
I can’t get my hopes up too high but I will say on paper he’s saying a lot of the things you’d want to hear as a DC fan, I hope he brings this to life properly and I hope for nothing but the best for this man’s universe
I’m still bummed out about losing the actors without seeing their true potential realized. I endorse James Gunn and Peter Safran, but this makes me really cautious. I won’t jump on the wagon and say YES THIS IS PERFECT, not until I see the execution. I really do hope it’s great.
I was annoyed when all the previous announcement happened but this gives me hope specially with a unified storyline with both movies and tv shows feeding into the overall story. Excited to see what they cook up
Honestly, this is probably the most sincere announcement I've ever seen for upcoming projects. No big show or "falsely" hyped TV hosts or anything like that. Just a man with what seems like a huge respect for the source material and a passion for delivering some good entertainment with a soul. Big props to you, Mr. Gunn.
The fact that they're giving the Authority and the Creature Commandos some spotlight really shows how dedicated DC and James Gunn are to showing off the characters you wouldn't expect in a million years to get their own film or TV show.
At that stage the MCU didn't have the X Men or Spider-Man, so a lot of big name characters were off the table, so they had to use less well known names. Even then, Iron Man and Captain America were hardly unknowns.
This is such a diverse, unique, and fun slate. I hope they do justice to the Lanterns show. Would've preferred it to see on the big screen, but can't complain with everything else.
Hear, hear! Grew up reading both DC and Marvel and other European comics. So i wanna see both and others do well. So excited about the future of the DCU output.
This line up looks great so far and lanterns as a tv show sounds perfect! All of this plus the upcoming Wonder Woman game have me pretty hyped! I am curious though what other video game projects we might see come out of this
You can tell James Gunn is excited to be a part of this. He loves comic books, comic book games and the lore of it all. Can’t wait to see what happens 🙌🏽
I appreciate DC recognizing actors coming and going and the amazing animated movies being disconnected from the sometimes lack luster live action movies. I really hope that they can turn it around
I’m surprised to say I’m cautiously excited about this announcement! I love that we’re getting Damian Wayne as Robin & that the main stories will finally be connected. I’m really rooting for DC to get this right ❤
@LaToya Aitcheson oh yes, i see what you are saying. We haven't seen a good lex Luther on film since Gene Hackman (my opinion) would live to see a good/respectable lex against superman. hopefully they will have a chapter with magic, meaning constantine, zatanna, etrigan. Man, that would be awesome.
@Rhysio Eren I do agree that I wished he announced more legacy characters & storylines. Like I hope Lex Luther is somewhere around this universe! Gunn has a real quirky sense of humor so for now I guess where gnna get all his quirky favs.
@Rhysio Eren bruh if he has Damien than nightwing and Oracle are here Jason is probably dead and we could get a sequel with an under the red hood adaptation
For some reason I feel screwed with these announcements. It feels like they are moving away from the roots and getting only into new characters and new stories, which is ok, I guess but they can't forget all our beloved characters, like nightwing, batgirl, the new gods. I like the idea of bringing the green lanterns, though it sounds kinda limited with just 2 members of the corp on earth. I like booster gold, he is an idiot basically so probably is going to be fun. I love swamp thing one of my favorites. I think we will have to see the rest of their ideas, see what is next for batman and the justice league, teen titans, etc.
Can't wait to see it! I'm not a big fan of some of those characters that he mentioned and some of them I don't even know..... But that's what Mr Gunn does sheds light on characters that are never used. I hope Nightwing is going to be an intrical part with the bat family I can't wait to see that stuff
I hope Batman makes many, many more appearances. Would hate for Batman to be just limited to bat-family related runs. He really is a character that can get in line with any and all of the mentioned shows and movies.
I gotta say, even though I haven’t heard of some of these characters (Creature Commandos, Booster Gold and The Authority), this is still interesting. And I’ve wanted marvel to make a movie outside the MCU for YEARS! I’m glad that DC is gonna do that with Swamp Thing.
LITERALMENTE estoy flipando con todo lo que se viene, y solo puedo decir que amo DC y lo seguiría a dónde sea, esa película de Superman y Batman cuidado que se viene fuerte!!!
"Booster Gold" is tailor-made for James Gunn, I think that'll be a fantastic fit! The way he and Safran describe Superman as a man with "kindness in a world that thinks that kindness as old-fashioned" (THR) is so refreshing to hear, and Supergirl being the darker counterpart to Kal-El sounds fascinating. "Lanterns" is so exciting to hear because we've been sorely lacking in GL content, and Paradise Lost seems like something lots of people will get into as well. "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" can lead to SO many fun possibilities because it means that we're finally getting a DCU with THE BAT-FAMILY, something I've always wanted to see in live-action. We've had a few great "Swamp Thing" adaptations but I bet this'll be great too, and possibly lead to JL: Dark with Constantine, Zatanna, Deadman and co. down the line. Creature Commandos and The Authority are teams I know nothing about, but I didn't know anything about the Guardians of the Galaxy either and I think those are some of the best comic books movies ever made (part 2 especially), so I'm open to it. It's the "Waller" show that confuses me the most, because it's the thing that's the most overtly connected to the old "DCEU", making me question it canonicity in the new continuity. Overall though, this is a great slate (assuming they stick to it) and I can't wait to see these characters come to life!
As a long time DC fan I can say that I'm"cautiously optimistic". This company has let me down too many times to take anything at face value anymore. That said, I'm really excited to finally get a live action Damien Wayne!
I’m really happy that Peter Safran and James Gunn have sat down and really thought about what the first phase of the DCU will explore and will have creative control given to the filmmakers….but I still have a lot of questions. Right now, only one comes to mind, will the dc movies coming out this year( Shazam through Aquaman) be connected to the new DCU Gods and Monsters or are these movies one offs that won’t appear again after 2022?
DC looks to be headed on the right track! Each project sounds different in tone and story! My most excited are Superman Legacy, Brave and The Bold and Lanterns. The rest I’m excited as well!
@Sumeet Behera no i want a superman that isnt sad and depressed all the time id like an accurate representation of superman i get he has issues but he is supposed to be a symbol of hope. Christopher reeves was a great superman he embodied hope while also dealing with dark topics. Hop off snyders meat. The Batman is better written and better rated than anything snyder peoduced
@Sumeet Behera I'm over Marvel too, but the last Snyder projects were horrible. And I don't see why Scorcese would be relevant to a Genre which he HATES! Even Nolan did a realistic trilogy & pulled out, Spielberg let 2 of his franchises go into the ground. So at least we have someone who cares about projects
@TheDarkKnight pattinson would be obsolete too in few years so dont get your panties wet. henry cavill was the best superman if you understand modern superman and if you understand if superman existed in real life. but you probably want a maxim model as superman who is smiling and going on dates and saving kitten from trees.
@Mohammad Nashit Siddiqui good why wont he hate coz superhero movies are dominated by sub standard cookie cutter dumb mcu films which are far from cinematic excellence but coz dumbasses love them and it makes money so yeah studio keeps going.
@Sumeet Behera do you really think Kevin Feige personally plans out every movie? Feige’s primary job is to ensure continuity and consistency, he doesn’t come up with all the idea himself
I started out as a Marvel comics fan, but I gradually shifted to DC. Now characters like Nightwing, Supergirl and Batman are my favorites. I am stoked for what James Gunn is going to do!! It is going to be an adventure. Looking forward to it!!!
It’s basically like how it is in comic books, each comic is an individual storyline with a no. Of issues, like let’s say superman legacy is released, it’s an individual story set in a universe with a larger story at play, it is not important for it to have a sequel, the superman will make appearances across all spectrums of media whether comics, games, tv shows, movies, so batman brave and bold can have superman in it if the storyline demands superman to be in it.
@Canary Ironman was not well known among masses coz most marvel characters were not known among masses except for spiderman, wolverine and hulk. and focusing on ironman made sense coz he was one of the core members of avengers along with thor and captain america where supergirl is not more important than GL, Flash, Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, Green Arrow etc but who can stop james dumbass gunn to play with his toys. you guys love gunn way too much that he deserves.
@Nana Kofi Kwarteng No, I dont want DC to be carbon copy of Marvel. DC was fine with the way it was, all it needed was minor course correction to make it coherent. We had 90% perfect cast and set up and it all has been blown away and we are again at ground zero, how does that make sense? current slate is looking much more incoherent, illogical and random than the past slate. MCU maybe organized but that doesn't mean the films were all great. MCU were basically cookie cutter films while DC had given us landmark distinctive films like Joker, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Shazam etc. Can't believe how you all love gunn so much and how do you want dc just to be like marvel
@Sumeet Behera you've seen what Marvel has done with MCU, DC needs that too. Rather that than single movies that don't correlate with each other. It needs a plan to stick to
Interesting. Definitely not the same formula/approach like the MCU phases which is how it should be. I'm excited and will give Gunn's vision a chance :)
Really Excited for this/ COnsidering the state of the DCU right now, outside of a couple of hits like Pattison's Batman, its a real mess and deserve a whole re-write. Cannot wait to see what Gunn does with this.
The actors didn't care about their roles only money ben was a drunken mess gadot only cared about money and looking good shazam is way too campy ezra well he is just a mentalist Jason doesn't even fit the role of aquaman Ray had potential as cyborg but they sidelined him so don't have much to say same for Martian manhunter they could cast anyone as him since he's a shape-shifter only actor who's role fit and who deserved to be on the big screen is cavil and I know we won't be getting him back as the main line face of dcu but he may still cameo maybe as Jor-El or just a passer by
Dc signing with hbo really was one of their best decisions before all of this. I can now actually feel connected when super heroes are in the mix of daily talks and trends. Marvel and Disney is distasteful and disrespectful gathering any viewer possible so making it as friendly as possible. I have faith.
The projects sound very intersting. It still feels like each project has a different style and tone, and its more of an anthology of stories from the DC universe rather than what Marvel did with Avengers. Fine by me, the Animated Justice Leauge will be hard to beat anyways. Side note, the Supergirl concept art looks Moebious inspired and its beautifull.
Wow, some VERY interesting picks in here. I'm thrilled that they are doing so many series with characters I know nothing about and it looks like they won't all rely on throwing Batman in to every project.
Hopefully. It's been too long with DC dickriding batman. It's incredibly obnoxious so hopefully all the other characters will get their moments to shine this time
Thank you for your work, James! I believe in your vision of DCU and can't wait to see all that fantastic films on the screen. PS Swamp Thing?! Really awesome 🦊👍
Lanterns is gonna be a good show I feel like, having a buddy cop show with the two most popular ones as they uncover a mystery most likely, Darkseid?! 👀 gonna be hype
I'm curious to see these projects as a MCU fan. DC made some poor solo movies, but what really hurt was the Whedon's JL movie, because Snyder's version was infinitely better and I would have loved to see Snyder's JL 2 in the apocalyptic world.
Thank you so much James gun finally letting us know for the DCEU that's exactly what I want it The Flash movie should start all over again for these characters that we love 💯
I'm a big fan of dcu I'm writing as it is...at first I was super bummed about cavill but seeing your excitement and that your a fan of dc yourself the way you explained everything now I'm excited
Curious to see how The Flash is handled. Sounds like it will be a vehicle to reset everything (not unexpected, but not sure what that will mean for The Flash going forward). Still very excited for Blue Beetle. And, I hope since we are getting Damien Wayne as Robin that means we will already have Nightwing coming (and established as the original Robin). :)
The fact that you didn't choose the obvious, and yet still did what we expected (including Booster Gold 😂), it shows that we could trust that you have an actual vision and story in mind. By the way, I love how when I play DC Universe Online Booster is everywhere advertising products, and I'd love to see some easter eggs around, it would be very nice.
He did choose the obvious(Superman, Batman, WW, GL) unless you meant something else. And also went with minor characters. Nothing wrong with that. And yes, I am looking forward to Booster Gold. I just hope they get all this right.
I’m excited ! Especially for when he mentioned BAT-FAMILY! I mean it makes sense for Damain Wayne to be the Robin as it means we will see Nightwing , Red hood , Batgirl / Oracle , Red Robin , Oprhan ,and Spoiler.
Wow, what an announcement. This all sounds great. Hope it all come to fruition. Like the sound of Green Lantern show, Superman, Paradise island, Brave & bold, Supergirl. Glad they are doing a overall plan. Glad they are focusing on story. can't wait!
While I may not like some of the things I’ve heard so far on the surface, what do I know? I’m not a professional, but I will say at the very least he does seem to be addressing the issues and problems so far with the DCEU. I mean he’s actually addressing it And has some thoughts about it instead of so far what we’ve been hearing from others which is just either denying there’s problems or blaming audiences. So, for better or worse, I look forward to seeing what changes he makes and hopefully he manages to make it all come together somehow.
@Samyak I was actually expecting them to have someone like Spectre overseeing everything in DC. Where you can have big bads like Despero, Amazo, Anti Monitor, etc.
Bring on the blackest knight story in later seasonsss Bring on the epic light show action between different lantern corps with amazing visuals in the cosmos, creative constructions , and dramatic and awe music in the bg
And, I kind of was expecting Gunn to want to make movies about some of the less popular DC characters; but, I am surprised at his lineup: The Authority - which version will DC adapt to live action; and, well, I guess I can see "Under New Management" getting the film treatment. Supergirl - Woman of Tomorrow comics started out okay but was a snoozer which I finished skim reading this month. Creature Commandoes - never read nor followed it but seen glimpses of a Frankenstein led squad in other DC crossover events. Booster Gold - never liked the character except for the "Heroes in Crisis" comic book event. Brave and The Bold - there are so many comic book versions but adapting the Bruce Wayne and Damien Wayne story will be fun to see. Waller - It's interesting that Viola Davis wasn't fired; but, Davis is the best choice to play Amanda Waller. Would like to see Viola Davis do Amanda Waller in the field in Black Ops mode as a backstory to explain Waller the make my own rules bureaucrat. Swamp Thing - okay CW started and scrapped a good promising tv investigative horror drama series. Paradise Lost (PL) and Lanterns (L) - PL based on Games of Thrones and L based on True Detectives - will wait and see.
Finally, I can proudly say I am a dc fan, dc comics are literally the og and the best superhero comics out there, each and every story of dc comics are just mind blowing, I hope that in the future we get to see final crisis, doomsday clock, death metal, dark crisis all these epic storyline plus dc has so much more than new 52, we got the vertigo universe, unwritten universe, if gunn can pull this off, Dc will become the best comic book company again🔥🔥🔥#DC❤️❤️
I'm so pumped for Superman: Legacy, and The Brave and The Bold!!! Also the new Lanterns show sounds awesome! Can't wait to see what Gunn and Co. create and give to us DCU fans at last!
From being fired and “cancelled” for decade old, tasteless, yet decontextualized tweets to being the CEO of the DCU is incredible and h the e story isn’t even done being written. Can’t wait for the green lantern show, hopefully they aren’t blowing smoke saying it is like True Detective, what a concept!
Honestly, of everything here comes out as promised, not even perfect, just as described. Nothing could be better... This is what anyone could want from superhero films/tv.
I'm excited for the future but kinda scared how the general reception will be for the projects that are not household names, other than supes, bats, lanterns i doubt if the others will pull in much of the audiences' attention
Some fascinating picks indeed! He steered clear from some obvious picks of the Justice League members. I trust in his plan, but I’m only slightly disappointed because there’s more TV shows than I preferred, and I know that DC’s TV shows probably won’t match the budget of Marvel’s TV shows
best man ever to run dc cant wait to see his vision going forward this little 6 min video has given me faith that dc will have a comeback. james gunn is the man
I’m really interested in the music being composed. I want to see themes carry over movie to movie for characters, that’s where marvel failed a lot of the time.
Did anyone else get really excited when he announced a green lantern show or is it just me. 2 of my favorite lanterns in a live action show can’t wait for it to be released and give the lanterns justice
I really hope they sneak in Kyle Rayner, he's my personal fav. I loved his journey of reaching godhood and giving it away in favor of his humanity. Plus he's a geeky artist!
The plan sounds good. And the ideas behind it connecting various shows and movies together is something that was lacking. But the bar is set super high now that a Superman movie is coming out. Patience is now key. Hope it pays off.
Say what you want about being saddened that Henry Cavill won’t be superman anymore, or that Robert Pattinson won’t be the main Batman or anything else about the old DCU. I have faith in this. James Gunn is an honest man, and he is very clearly excited about all of this, they’re actually taking time and patience in writing things out and making sure the stories connect, and I have a feeling that we’re putting a much better foot forward With these movies. Can’t wait to see these next 10 years.
Mr.Gunn. THANK YOU!!!!! so much for your transparency, I can't wait especially for BOOSTER GOLD A LONG TIME FAVORITE OF MINE AND MY CHILDREN.Kudos to you and the rest of the team for Dc comics animated, live- action tv, and upcoming movies. We all look forward to seeing your vision come to fruition!👍🏽👊🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥
I'm actually excited we're getting a *Lanterns* show. And the fact that it's also gonna be a sort of mystery genre makes it better since I love the suspense they give. What was unexpected was that Amanda Waller's gonna be getting her *OWN SHOW* bro... AND A LIVE-ACTION DAMIAN WAYNE?!! THIS JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!!! And I love that they're also giving Booster Gold his own spotlight now, he's actually one of my Top 20 favourites. LOVE THIS!🙌❤️
@Krotas (Diety of Armed Conflicts) nope! When the new Batman actor is announced, I'm gonna say I hate it, then when the movie is out, I'm gonna say he's perfect 🤣
@Mohammad Nashit Siddiqui you should be excited about The Brave and The Bold based Batman movie😡 say it! Say that's the most exciting thing.. then u may add Lanterns. Now!!!
I really really hope that in gaming they make a DCUO 2. I know people are going to say no that sucks and whatever, but to me and a bunch of friends that was one of the best things to ever be made in terms of gaming based on DC comics
I might be mad at Gunn's choice of wrapping *Henry* up from his Role, for the rest of my life but I'll give him a chance & see what he brings to the Table ❕
I am only glad that some main stream characters are being rested for the start of the reboot. It's been quite too much too wrap around the DCEU. I really hope they really pick it up this time and tell stories that intertwine.
James you absolute madman, this slate sounds fantastic! I am intrigued to see where you’re taking DC. Love Damien Wayne and can’t wait to see him live action!
I love the chapter title "Gods and Monsters." I really like the cohesive nature to keep the animated voice-overs tied to film. The consistency is so important to keeping fans engaged in long-term storytelling.
@pooya sharifi It’s actually not cancelled, it’s currently on hold for the meantime.
Fun fact: There was a DC animated movie named Gods and Monsters!!! 7 years ago!!
Try searching DC Gods and monsters!!!😉
#RenewYoungJustice
I love the title because it reminds me of the line in Bride of Frankenstein.
That's terrible title. 🤮
I'm a big fan of the old cast of the DCEU. And I know plans get changed all the time, especially in the film industry. But the way he describes everything in this video makes me really want to believe that all of these projects and the ones after them will come to fruition. My fingers are crossed. DC, you'd better not disappoint the fans any further!
I almost had a heart attack when he said “The Brave and the Bold” that animated Batman series was my childhood!! It’s the reason I want Deadman, Red Tornado and Etrigan in live action!
The Brave and the Bold was also a comic book series prior to the show.
...and it will be the complete opposite of The Brave and the Bold stories, simply (another) Batman paired with Robin. Well played
Still a shame Henry Cavill isn't coming back as Superman but excited to see what the future holds.
Same and I don't see why they couldn't use him for this new Superman project
I love that the animations and live actions will be connected, not just separate universes.
@3yywzz yes
so creature commandos is dcu to??
The potential these characters and story's can produce is immaculate
Everything always has potential so idk about that. But at least there's a Booster Gold story in the making so there's that
its Marvelous
*Finally DC has a consistent plan for live action films and shows together connecting and looks promising!* 👌🏼
Amazing news to hear from Gunn! This guy knows what he is doing and I can't wait to see what he brings to the theaters and tv!!
Hope to see Swamp Thing for sure! Of course the others too!
No he doesnt we don’t need an all-star superman movie
James Gunn vai ter muito trabalho a fazer, em não só entregar filmes bons (o que eu n duvido que ele faça, já que ele vem acertando em sequência), como tbm em consertar a imagem da DC. Todas os projetos que ele apresentou parecem ser bons, mas até a gente ver algo mais, vão ficar só no "parecem", mas boto fé total no James Gunn, um diretor trilhões de vezes melhor que o Snyder
I can’t get my hopes up too high but I will say on paper he’s saying a lot of the things you’d want to hear as a DC fan, I hope he brings this to life properly and I hope for nothing but the best for this man’s universe
I'm just glad we're getting Robin in a Batman movie!
Bro FINALLY
Not just Damian but the Batfam in general. The article says they include others. Presumably Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood etc.
@SilverShion I like Damian. He resonates a lot with people nowadays, bratty spoiled teen
There was robin in dark knight rises as John Blake.
@Outlaw of Tatooine I hope so
It honestly seems like most writers go out of their way to make the character as unlikeable as humanly possible.
I’m still bummed out about losing the actors without seeing their true potential realized. I endorse James Gunn and Peter Safran, but this makes me really cautious. I won’t jump on the wagon and say YES THIS IS PERFECT, not until I see the execution. I really do hope it’s great.
I feel the exact same way. And I’m game for whatever as long as Levi, Momoa and Gadot are still onboard and people like it. Either way
I was annoyed when all the previous announcement happened but this gives me hope specially with a unified storyline with both movies and tv shows feeding into the overall story. Excited to see what they cook up
Finally... some consistency within DC and confirmation the Animation will continue. Quite frankly, the Animation is so underrated and good!
Honestly, this is probably the most sincere announcement I've ever seen for upcoming projects. No big show or "falsely" hyped TV hosts or anything like that. Just a man with what seems like a huge respect for the source material and a passion for delivering some good entertainment with a soul. Big props to you, Mr. Gunn.
The fact that they're giving the Authority and the Creature Commandos some spotlight really shows how dedicated DC and James Gunn are to showing off the characters you wouldn't expect in a million years to get their own film or TV show.
7th times a try right?
@Sumeet Behera oh we had a green lantern movie it was just trash
At that stage the MCU didn't have the X Men or Spider-Man, so a lot of big name characters were off the table, so they had to use less well known names.
Even then, Iron Man and Captain America were hardly unknowns.
Super excited for The Authority. Hope it leads to an adaptation of my favorite Wildstorm comic of all time: Planetary.
@Elton Arthur the authority is outrageously good. ellis and millar just killed on that book.
I honestly have high hopes for these projects it seems a lot of love and care is going into them and I am excited to see what they produce
I'm so happy there's some transparency for these projects! I'm an artist and writer I'd love to do some fanart of this stuff in the future!!
Thank you James Gunn. I’m actually excited to see these DC projects. Keep pushing.
This is such a diverse, unique, and fun slate. I hope they do justice to the Lanterns show. Would've preferred it to see on the big screen, but can't complain with everything else.
He’s introducing Apollo and Midnighter early on, So hopefully that means we get the straight and real versions of Tim Drake and John Kent
As a fan of both Marvel and DC, I’m freaking excited for what Gunn and Safran have slated for DC’s future !
I’m a fan of both too. I’m just not sure I can commit to the new continuity full time
Hear, hear! Grew up reading both DC and Marvel and other European comics. So i wanna see both and others do well. So excited about the future of the DCU output.
Same man I've enjoyed both marvel and dc so I super excited for the future
You got that right brother
Same here, I’m a fan of both and I’m exploding in pure joy!
So happy to see someone give love to Superman once again.
This line up looks great so far and lanterns as a tv show sounds perfect! All of this plus the upcoming Wonder Woman game have me pretty hyped! I am curious though what other video game projects we might see come out of this
You can tell James Gunn is excited to be a part of this. He loves comic books, comic book games and the lore of it all. Can’t wait to see what happens 🙌🏽
Thank you! That is all. Just a simple... thank you.
I appreciate DC recognizing actors coming and going and the amazing animated movies being disconnected from the sometimes lack luster live action movies. I really hope that they can turn it around
I’m surprised to say I’m cautiously excited about this announcement! I love that we’re getting Damian Wayne as Robin & that the main stories will finally be connected. I’m really rooting for DC to get this right ❤
@Jaylenjayden930 man, something like the animated film would be fantastic.
@LaToya Aitcheson oh yes, i see what you are saying. We haven't seen a good lex Luther on film since Gene Hackman (my opinion) would live to see a good/respectable lex against superman. hopefully they will have a chapter with magic, meaning constantine, zatanna, etrigan. Man, that would be awesome.
@Rhysio Eren I do agree that I wished he announced more legacy characters & storylines. Like I hope Lex Luther is somewhere around this universe! Gunn has a real quirky sense of humor so for now I guess where gnna get all his quirky favs.
@Rhysio Eren bruh if he has Damien than nightwing and Oracle are here Jason is probably dead and we could get a sequel with an under the red hood adaptation
For some reason I feel screwed with these announcements. It feels like they are moving away from the roots and getting only into new characters and new stories, which is ok, I guess but they can't forget all our beloved characters, like nightwing, batgirl, the new gods. I like the idea of bringing the green lanterns, though it sounds kinda limited with just 2 members of the corp on earth. I like booster gold, he is an idiot basically so probably is going to be fun. I love swamp thing one of my favorites. I think we will have to see the rest of their ideas, see what is next for batman and the justice league, teen titans, etc.
I’m a Marvel fan through and through but this I love, especially the characters moving in and out of animation makes it more CONNECTED.
Can't wait to see it! I'm not a big fan of some of those characters that he mentioned and some of them I don't even know..... But that's what Mr Gunn does sheds light on characters that are never used. I hope Nightwing is going to be an intrical part with the bat family I can't wait to see that stuff
I hope Batman makes many, many more appearances. Would hate for Batman to be just limited to bat-family related runs. He really is a character that can get in line with any and all of the mentioned shows and movies.
People are getting burned out with Batman being done repeatedly. Even I'm comics he's in like every book. It's getting annoying
I mean, Batman has been rebooted seven times?!?!
I gotta say, even though I haven’t heard of some of these characters (Creature Commandos, Booster Gold and The Authority), this is still interesting. And I’ve wanted marvel to make a movie outside the MCU for YEARS! I’m glad that DC is gonna do that with Swamp Thing.
The guts for this man to say "marvelous" several times to describe his future DC projects, all the love and respect for James Gunn!
James gunn superman film?!? No thanks
Marvelous doesn't have anything to do with marvel
@SLICK VISHESH oh my bad. Still don't see a crossover happening
@Mohammad Nashit Siddiqui bro thats secret invasion not secret wars
Thought only i noticed it
LITERALMENTE estoy flipando con todo lo que se viene, y solo puedo decir que amo DC y lo seguiría a dónde sea, esa película de Superman y Batman cuidado que se viene fuerte!!!
"Booster Gold" is tailor-made for James Gunn, I think that'll be a fantastic fit! The way he and Safran describe Superman as a man with "kindness in a world that thinks that kindness as old-fashioned" (THR) is so refreshing to hear, and Supergirl being the darker counterpart to Kal-El sounds fascinating. "Lanterns" is so exciting to hear because we've been sorely lacking in GL content, and Paradise Lost seems like something lots of people will get into as well. "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" can lead to SO many fun possibilities because it means that we're finally getting a DCU with THE BAT-FAMILY, something I've always wanted to see in live-action. We've had a few great "Swamp Thing" adaptations but I bet this'll be great too, and possibly lead to JL: Dark with Constantine, Zatanna, Deadman and co. down the line. Creature Commandos and The Authority are teams I know nothing about, but I didn't know anything about the Guardians of the Galaxy either and I think those are some of the best comic books movies ever made (part 2 especially), so I'm open to it. It's the "Waller" show that confuses me the most, because it's the thing that's the most overtly connected to the old "DCEU", making me question it canonicity in the new continuity. Overall though, this is a great slate (assuming they stick to it) and I can't wait to see these characters come to life!
Booster Gold has potential to be incredibly hilarious yet heartfelt.
Like Peacemaker.
After a really long time, I can say I'm excited for what's to come in the DCU🥺
As a long time DC fan I can say that I'm"cautiously optimistic". This company has let me down too many times to take anything at face value anymore. That said, I'm really excited to finally get a live action Damien Wayne!
The Authority and Superman being in the same film universe presents a lot of possibilities! Are we going to see Warworld one day?
I’m really happy that Peter Safran and James Gunn have sat down and really thought about what the first phase of the DCU will explore and will have creative control given to the filmmakers….but I still have a lot of questions. Right now, only one comes to mind,
will the dc movies coming out this year( Shazam through Aquaman) be connected to the new DCU Gods and Monsters or are these movies one offs that won’t appear again after 2022?
DC looks to be headed on the right track! Each project sounds different in tone and story! My most excited are Superman Legacy, Brave and The Bold and Lanterns. The rest I’m excited as well!
Love the fact that they being patient and taking time investing on the character and the storyline... Nothing beats STORYLINE man.
@Sumeet Behera no i want a superman that isnt sad and depressed all the time id like an accurate representation of superman i get he has issues but he is supposed to be a symbol of hope. Christopher reeves was a great superman he embodied hope while also dealing with dark topics. Hop off snyders meat. The Batman is better written and better rated than anything snyder peoduced
@Sumeet Behera I'm over Marvel too, but the last Snyder projects were horrible. And I don't see why Scorcese would be relevant to a Genre which he HATES! Even Nolan did a realistic trilogy & pulled out, Spielberg let 2 of his franchises go into the ground. So at least we have someone who cares about projects
@TheDarkKnight pattinson would be obsolete too in few years so dont get your panties wet. henry cavill was the best superman if you understand modern superman and if you understand if superman existed in real life. but you probably want a maxim model as superman who is smiling and going on dates and saving kitten from trees.
@Mohammad Nashit Siddiqui good why wont he hate coz superhero movies are dominated by sub standard cookie cutter dumb mcu films which are far from cinematic excellence but coz dumbasses love them and it makes money so yeah studio keeps going.
@Sumeet Behera do you really think Kevin Feige personally plans out every movie? Feige’s primary job is to ensure continuity and consistency, he doesn’t come up with all the idea himself
I started out as a Marvel comics fan, but I gradually shifted to DC. Now characters like Nightwing, Supergirl and Batman are my favorites. I am stoked for what James Gunn is going to do!! It is going to be an adventure. Looking forward to it!!!
Let’s stay optimistic and see what the future of DC holds.
Wishing them the best! DC could be bigger than Marvel if done correctly!
This sounds awesome. A fantastic mix of well known and more niche stuff. So excited.
It’s basically like how it is in comic books, each comic is an individual storyline with a no. Of issues, like let’s say superman legacy is released, it’s an individual story set in a universe with a larger story at play, it is not important for it to have a sequel, the superman will make appearances across all spectrums of media whether comics, games, tv shows, movies, so batman brave and bold can have superman in it if the storyline demands superman to be in it.
Only God knows how excited I am for this project. I hope it continues after the 10 years because this is what the fans deserve ❤️🙌🏽
@Canary Ironman was not well known among masses coz most marvel characters were not known among masses except for spiderman, wolverine and hulk. and focusing on ironman made sense coz he was one of the core members of avengers along with thor and captain america where supergirl is not more important than GL, Flash, Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, Green Arrow etc but who can stop james dumbass gunn to play with his toys. you guys love gunn way too much that he deserves.
@Sumeet Behera who knows, it could work. Before the Ironman movies he wasnt very well known so starting with lesser known characters could work.
@Nana Kofi Kwarteng No, I dont want DC to be carbon copy of Marvel. DC was fine with the way it was, all it needed was minor course correction to make it coherent. We had 90% perfect cast and set up and it all has been blown away and we are again at ground zero, how does that make sense? current slate is looking much more incoherent, illogical and random than the past slate. MCU maybe organized but that doesn't mean the films were all great. MCU were basically cookie cutter films while DC had given us landmark distinctive films like Joker, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Shazam etc. Can't believe how you all love gunn so much and how do you want dc just to be like marvel
@Sumeet Behera you've seen what Marvel has done with MCU, DC needs that too. Rather that than single movies that don't correlate with each other. It needs a plan to stick to
This is meh honestly
Interesting. Definitely not the same formula/approach like the MCU phases which is how it should be. I'm excited and will give Gunn's vision a chance :)
Okay I am really glad that we're getting a Batman movie with Robin in it but it's gonna take SUCH A LONG TIME TO GET THERE 😭😭😭
This is gonna be fun. Great mix of big names and deep cuts. And I'm all for the deep connectivity. Bring it on!
Really Excited for this/ COnsidering the state of the DCU right now, outside of a couple of hits like Pattison's Batman, its a real mess and deserve a whole re-write. Cannot wait to see what Gunn does with this.
I’m still bummed that most actors have left, however, I’m excited to see how they bring these worlds alive.
Who was let go? So the trinity is gone but Jason is still Aquaman? Ezra still flash?
They were fired, they didn't left 😂.
It's business, that's how it works 🤷♂️
@M You talk like you know them personally 🤣
The actors didn't care about their roles only money ben was a drunken mess gadot only cared about money and looking good shazam is way too campy ezra well he is just a mentalist Jason doesn't even fit the role of aquaman Ray had potential as cyborg but they sidelined him so don't have much to say same for Martian manhunter they could cast anyone as him since he's a shape-shifter only actor who's role fit and who deserved to be on the big screen is cavil and I know we won't be getting him back as the main line face of dcu but he may still cameo maybe as Jor-El or just a passer by
@Flooo24 This is a must in my eyes. Changing actors this far in will just ruin the immersion.
Really intrigued about the Lanterns show. Glad someone found a tone about it, it's prob one of the hardest characters to pull off correctly
Dc signing with hbo really was one of their best decisions before all of this. I can now actually feel connected when super heroes are in the mix of daily talks and trends. Marvel and Disney is distasteful and disrespectful gathering any viewer possible so making it as friendly as possible. I have faith.
Excited for a wide range of stories in the DC Media vault. Thank you for the update James.
The projects sound very intersting. It still feels like each project has a different style and tone, and its more of an anthology of stories from the DC universe rather than what Marvel did with Avengers. Fine by me, the Animated Justice Leauge will be hard to beat anyways.
Side note, the Supergirl concept art looks Moebious inspired and its beautifull.
Wow, some VERY interesting picks in here. I'm thrilled that they are doing so many series with characters I know nothing about and it looks like they won't all rely on throwing Batman in to every project.
Hopefully. It's been too long with DC dickriding batman. It's incredibly obnoxious so hopefully all the other characters will get their moments to shine this time
Thank you for your work, James! I believe in your vision of DCU and can't wait to see all that fantastic films on the screen.
PS Swamp Thing?! Really awesome 🦊👍
Lanterns is gonna be a good show I feel like, having a buddy cop show with the two most popular ones as they uncover a mystery most likely, Darkseid?! 👀 gonna be hype
A lot of not-very-known characters will be introduced, I'm very curious to see how that turns out.
I'm curious to see these projects as a MCU fan. DC made some poor solo movies, but what really hurt was the Whedon's JL movie, because Snyder's version was infinitely better and I would have loved to see Snyder's JL 2 in the apocalyptic world.
Gods & Monsters Line-up sounds promising so far! Also, so glad the Blue Beetle movie is pushing thru 💙💙💙 And I'll definitely be watching Shazam 2 ❤⚡
I already planned on seeing Blue Beetle, Shazam, The Flash and Aquaman before today happened
New Shazam 2 trailer hyped me up. I'll be seated on March 17th.
i hope in the future they can team with booster gold
I'm so happy for Blue Beetle too, because a very dear actress from my country is there in a major role.
Thank you so much James gun finally letting us know for the DCEU that's exactly what I want it The Flash movie should start all over again for these characters that we love 💯
Booster gold series. One of my fave characters in comic books. Thank you James Gunn and Safran.
I'm a big fan of dcu I'm writing as it is...at first I was super bummed about cavill but seeing your excitement and that your a fan of dc yourself the way you explained everything now I'm excited
Curious to see how The Flash is handled. Sounds like it will be a vehicle to reset everything (not unexpected, but not sure what that will mean for The Flash going forward). Still very excited for Blue Beetle. And, I hope since we are getting Damien Wayne as Robin that means we will already have Nightwing coming (and established as the original Robin). :)
The fact that you didn't choose the obvious, and yet still did what we expected (including Booster Gold 😂), it shows that we could trust that you have an actual vision and story in mind.
By the way, I love how when I play DC Universe Online Booster is everywhere advertising products, and I'd love to see some easter eggs around, it would be very nice.
He did choose the obvious(Superman, Batman, WW, GL) unless you meant something else. And also went with minor characters. Nothing wrong with that.
And yes, I am looking forward to Booster Gold. I just hope they get all this right.
Glad Viola Davis is getting some payoff for her investment in the character and the DC world. She deserves a chance to shine in a solo project.
I’m excited ! Especially for when he mentioned BAT-FAMILY! I mean it makes sense for Damain Wayne to be the Robin as it means we will see Nightwing , Red hood , Batgirl / Oracle , Red Robin , Oprhan ,and Spoiler.
Wow, what an announcement. This all sounds great. Hope it all come to fruition. Like the sound of Green Lantern show, Superman, Paradise island, Brave & bold, Supergirl. Glad they are doing a overall plan. Glad they are focusing on story. can't wait!
Yep! That's much better than I expected
While I may not like some of the things I’ve heard so far on the surface, what do I know? I’m not a professional, but I will say at the very least he does seem to be addressing the issues and problems so far with the DCEU. I mean he’s actually addressing it And has some thoughts about it instead of so far what we’ve been hearing from others which is just either denying there’s problems or blaming audiences. So, for better or worse, I look forward to seeing what changes he makes and hopefully he manages to make it all come together somehow.
Green Lantern show & Swamp Thing movie are what I am ready for. Hopefully they go deep into the Lantern lore.. bring on Atrocitus.
@Samyak I was actually expecting them to have someone like Spectre overseeing everything in DC. Where you can have big bads like Despero, Amazo, Anti Monitor, etc.
@ItsNik thank godddd
Shame for superman n lois but my god IM glad CW dying
Bring on the blackest knight story in later seasonsss
Bring on the epic light show action between different lantern corps with amazing visuals in the cosmos, creative constructions , and dramatic and awe music in the bg
Agree
@William Beck YES!! 😍
And, I kind of was expecting Gunn to want to make movies about some of the less popular DC characters; but, I am surprised at his lineup:
The Authority - which version will DC adapt to live action; and, well, I guess I can see "Under New Management" getting the film treatment.
Supergirl - Woman of Tomorrow comics started out okay but was a snoozer which I finished skim reading this month.
Creature Commandoes - never read nor followed it but seen glimpses of a Frankenstein led squad in other DC crossover events.
Booster Gold - never liked the character except for the "Heroes in Crisis" comic book event.
Brave and The Bold - there are so many comic book versions but adapting the Bruce Wayne and Damien Wayne story will be fun to see.
Waller - It's interesting that Viola Davis wasn't fired; but, Davis is the best choice to play Amanda Waller. Would like to see Viola Davis do Amanda Waller in the field in Black Ops mode as a backstory to explain Waller the make my own rules bureaucrat.
Swamp Thing - okay CW started and scrapped a good promising tv investigative horror drama series.
Paradise Lost (PL) and Lanterns (L) - PL based on Games of Thrones and L based on True Detectives - will wait and see.
I lost it when Gunn said Damian is his favorite!! He’s mine too. Can’t believe we are gonna get an amazing well done Damian.
Finally, I can proudly say I am a dc fan, dc comics are literally the og and the best superhero comics out there, each and every story of dc comics are just mind blowing, I hope that in the future we get to see final crisis, doomsday clock, death metal, dark crisis all these epic storyline plus dc has so much more than new 52, we got the vertigo universe, unwritten universe, if gunn can pull this off, Dc will become the best comic book company again🔥🔥🔥#DC❤️❤️
I'm actually excited! This is how they should have done things this whole time.
I'm so pumped for Superman: Legacy, and The Brave and The Bold!!! Also the new Lanterns show sounds awesome! Can't wait to see what Gunn and Co. create and give to us DCU fans at last!
@M Shaheer Arshad I'm talking about Marvel comics. He doesn't like to adapt them mostly.
@Mohamed fawzy since when does feige knows about DC comics. He’s Marvel’s fan. Doesn’t know anything about DC because he ain’t interested in DC
@MJ Regan It’s too soon for me to give up on him
Those are the only ones I’ll be seeing for sure for the time being
@Mohamed fawzy since its a full reset im assuming they will
As uninterested as I am in DC rebooting AGAIN, I must admit that I love how blunt and honest James is about how disconnected this has all been.
From being fired and “cancelled” for decade old, tasteless, yet decontextualized tweets to being the CEO of the DCU is incredible and h the e story isn’t even done being written. Can’t wait for the green lantern show, hopefully they aren’t blowing smoke saying it is like True Detective, what a concept!
Honestly, of everything here comes out as promised, not even perfect, just as described. Nothing could be better... This is what anyone could want from superhero films/tv.
I’m excited and happy that James let us fans know what’s going on and not keep us in the dark.
I hyped so hard when he mentioned Swamp Thing. I legitimately cannot wait to see this all play out.
We had a tv show and it sucked
I bet he cant top The Dark Knight.
its a shame they cancelled the show.. i hope the bring back the cast, they were phenomenal..
I wish they hadn’t cancelled and buried the show. It was one of the few things the DC Universe app nailed imo
Same. Even more so when he mentioned that they would be going full horror with ir
this is amazing, I can't wait to see it all come to fruition
I'm excited for the future but kinda scared how the general reception will be for the projects that are not household names, other than supes, bats, lanterns i doubt if the others will pull in much of the audiences' attention
As long as others like it, that’s all I care
Some fascinating picks indeed! He steered clear from some obvious picks of the Justice League members. I trust in his plan, but I’m only slightly disappointed because there’s more TV shows than I preferred, and I know that DC’s TV shows probably won’t match the budget of Marvel’s TV shows
I cried so hard when he announced booster is finally getting a show, my massive collection is finally gunna pay off lol
Been a fan of DC My entire life, I have faith in Gunn, let's see what the man can do.
Glad to see that they’re adding Wildstorm characters into the mix. I wish we could see some Milestone characters as well.
best man ever to run dc cant wait to see his vision going forward this little 6 min video has given me faith that dc will have a comeback.
james gunn is the man
I’m really interested in the music being composed. I want to see themes carry over movie to movie for characters, that’s where marvel failed a lot of the time.
Did anyone else get really excited when he announced a green lantern show or is it just me. 2 of my favorite lanterns in a live action show can’t wait for it to be released and give the lanterns justice
Yessir let’s get some Atrocitus up in here
I really hope they sneak in Kyle Rayner, he's my personal fav. I loved his journey of reaching godhood and giving it away in favor of his humanity. Plus he's a geeky artist!
Yep, I grew up with John Stewart in JL/JLU and Hal Jordan is my favorite Green Lantern, so having them as the show’s leads is the best.
I was screaming in my bed bro 😂
No because I saw it coming
The plan sounds good. And the ideas behind it connecting various shows and movies together is something that was lacking. But the bar is set super high now that a Superman movie is coming out. Patience is now key. Hope it pays off.
Say what you want about being saddened that Henry Cavill won’t be superman anymore, or that Robert Pattinson won’t be the main Batman or anything else about the old DCU. I have faith in this. James Gunn is an honest man, and he is very clearly excited about all of this, they’re actually taking time and patience in writing things out and making sure the stories connect, and I have a feeling that we’re putting a much better foot forward With these movies. Can’t wait to see these next 10 years.
Mr.Gunn. THANK YOU!!!!! so much for your transparency, I can't wait especially for BOOSTER GOLD A LONG TIME FAVORITE OF MINE AND MY CHILDREN.Kudos to you and the rest of the team for Dc comics animated, live- action tv, and upcoming movies. We all look forward to seeing your vision come to fruition!👍🏽👊🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥
Although I liked some of the previous DCEU projects, I'm just happy that things are going to be organized now.
I'm actually excited we're getting a *Lanterns* show. And the fact that it's also gonna be a sort of mystery genre makes it better since I love the suspense they give. What was unexpected was that Amanda Waller's gonna be getting her *OWN SHOW* bro... AND A LIVE-ACTION DAMIAN WAYNE?!! THIS JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!!! And I love that they're also giving Booster Gold his own spotlight now, he's actually one of my Top 20 favourites. LOVE THIS!🙌❤️
I agree. I'm hyped for the Lanterns. As a series I believe the character development and conflict can be really well explored
Ryan Reynolds is back?
i suspect the waller show might be like mandalorian S1, kicking off solo character adventures
@Krotas (Diety of Armed Conflicts) nope! When the new Batman actor is announced, I'm gonna say I hate it, then when the movie is out, I'm gonna say he's perfect 🤣
@Mohammad Nashit Siddiqui you should be excited about The Brave and The Bold based Batman movie😡 say it! Say that's the most exciting thing.. then u may add Lanterns.
Now!!!
I really really hope that in gaming they make a DCUO 2. I know people are going to say no that sucks and whatever, but to me and a bunch of friends that was one of the best things to ever be made in terms of gaming based on DC comics
I was so happy for a minute when I thought Gods and Monsters was getting rolled into the DCU. Still, I'm excited to see what comes next.
I might be mad at Gunn's choice of wrapping *Henry* up from his Role, for the rest of my life but I'll give him a chance & see what he brings to the Table ❕
I am only glad that some main stream characters are being rested for the start of the reboot. It's been quite too much too wrap around the DCEU. I really hope they really pick it up this time and tell stories that intertwine.
James you absolute madman, this slate sounds fantastic! I am intrigued to see where you’re taking DC. Love Damien Wayne and can’t wait to see him live action!
Very happy we're still getting the Blue Beetle movie. Looking forward to everything James Gun will be bringing us
