DCU Television

“Creature Commandos”

Writer: James Gunn

In Production 

Release Date: TBD but prior to Superman: Legacy

Creature Commandos teams up Frankenstein, a werewolf, a vampire and a gorgon to fight Nazis in World War II. Gunn’s version adds Weasel and Rick Flag Sr. to the team

The actors cast to voice the characters on the show will also play the roles in live action later on in the DCU.

“Waller”

Writer: Christal Henry (Watchmen)

Executive Producer: Jeremy Carver (Doom Patrol & Umbrella Academy)

Release Date: TBD but prior to Superman: Legacy

Season 2 of “Peacemaker” has been put on hold. Team ‘Peacemaker' will  instead appear alongside Viola Davis in Waller; which is a continuation of Peacemaker. 

“Lanterns”

Per Safran, “Lanterns will focus on two of the best known members of the Green Lantern corps.: Hal Jordan and John Stewart; who investigate a mystery that plays a really big role leading us into the main story that we’re telling across our film and television.”

The Greg Berlanti Green Lantern show for HBO Max, is no longer moving forward.

“Paradise Lost”

This story was compared to Game of Thrones and is set on the island of Themyscira before the birth of Diana (Wonder Woman).

“It’s really about the political intrigue behind a society of all women,” Safran said.

Added Gunn, “How did that come about? What’s the origin of an island of all women? What are the beautiful truths and the ugly truths behind all of that? And what’s the scheming like between the different power players in that society?”

“Booster Gold”

“Booster Gold,” allows the DCU to fully stretch into outright comedy. A fan favorite among devoted readers. Safran called Booster “a loser from the future who uses basic future technology to come back to today and pretend to be a superhero.”

DCU Movies

Superman: Legacy

Release Date: July 11, 2025

Writer: James Gunn

Director: TBD

Per Safran, “Superman: Legacy” will mark the start of the DCU.  It focuses on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing.  He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way. He is kindness in a world that thinks of kindness as old-fashioned.”

(The Superman movie produced by J.J. Abrams through Bad Robot, and written by Ta-Nehisi Coates, remains in development and would be an Elseworlds Story.)

“The Authority”

Release Date: TBD

Writer: TBD

Director: TBD

“Superman: Legacy” will lead directly into “The Authority,” an ensemble movie about superhumans where the ends-justify-the-means.  Gunn and Safrain hope that these Wildstorm characters will diversify the storytelling within the DCU.

According to Gunn, “It isn’t just a story of heroes and villains, and not every movie and TV show is going to be about good guy versus bad guy.  There are people that are very questionable, like the Authority, who basically believe that you can’t fix the world in an easy manner, and they take things into their own hands.”

Added Safran, “They’re kind of like Jack Nicholson in ‘A Few Good Men.’ They know that you want them on the wall, or at least they believe that.”

“The Brave and the Bold”

Release Date: TBD

Writer: TBD

Director: TBD

Based on the comics authored by Grant Morrison, “The Brave and the Bold” will introduce the Bat family, beginning with Robin, who is returning to live-action movies since the 1997’s ill-fated feature “Batman and Robin.”

This version of Robin is Damian Wayne, who is Gunn’s favorite Robin. 

“Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow”

Release Date: TBD

Writer: TBD

Director: TBD

Based on Tom King’s comics run, “Woman of Tomorrow” features Superman’s cousin, Kara Zor-El.

According to Gunn, “We see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he’s an infant, versus Supergirl, who was raised on a rock chip off of Krypton, and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life.”

This version of Supergirl is much more hardcore per Gunn.

“Swamp Thing”

Release Date: TBD

Writer: TBD

Director: TBD

“Swamp Thing” will investigate the dark origins of Swamp Thing,” Safran said, through the prism of horror.

“This is a much more horrific film, but we’ll still have Swamp Thing interact with the other characters,” Gunn added.
