On the horn, but James Gunn has made good on his promise to reveal what he and Peter Safran have in store for the future of Superman, Batman and other DC heroes and villains in movies and on TV. We already know how Gunn likes to throw second and third line heroes and villains, but in this case, he couldn’t leave the top brass on the bench, so the first phase of him, called gods and monsters and that promises two series and two movies per year, mixes a bit of everything that can be found between the pages of DC comics.
monster command
The project that will start it all is monster command, also known as Creatures Commando. An animated series scripted by Gunn, expected to make the jump to live action, that will present a group of questionable heroes centered between the paranormal and science. Among its members we can find Frankenstein and his girlfriend, the vampire Vincent Velcoro, the werewolf Warren Griffith, the mummy Khalis or Dr. Ray Palmer. Although he has not been part of this group in the comics, Gunn has confirmed that The Weasel of Suicide Squad he is the first official member of the adaptation, while the others will still have to earn their place.
Waller
The director and founder of Suicide Squad, will have its place in this new universe. From the team of Pacemakera new series focused on the figure of Amanda Waller will serve as the second season for the series of the character of John Cena.
Lanters
The bearers of the green ring of will, Hal Jordan and John Stewart, will star in an HBO series on extraterrestrial investigation with hints of True Detectivewhich will have a great weight in the plot of this entire phase.
Lost Paradise
Themyscira will be the framework of the Game of Thrones of this phase. The island of the Amazons will experience the intrigues and betrayals of the court many years before Diana/Wonder Woman was born, and will tell, throughout its chapters, the origin of the island and the people of the Amazons.
Booster Gold
Here comes the third-party character we’ve been waiting for. Booster Gold is a poor ordinary human from the 25th century, who in an attempt to be relevant, steals 19th century technology from him and travels to our present day to act like a superhero. The imposter syndrome of the superheroic world will have its own series.
Superman: Legacy
Warner begins his new life in the cinema with all the artillery. Superman: Legacy it will leave behind Henry Cavill as Iron Man (I’ll never forgive you, James Carmena), and bring in a new actor to wear the Kryptonian cape. Scripted, and possibly directed, by Gunn, this Superman will be one that embraces the American lifestyle and Kryptonian heritage like no other. The premiere of it is scheduled for the July 11, 2025.
The Authority
The authority It will be the next step in movie theaters, and it will present a group of superheroes who have a different idea than usual when it comes to saving the world. The comic on which it is based was devised by created by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch stood out for the use of violence and political incorrectness, so we will have to see how a story like this fits in today’s times.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold
This film will be Batman’s letter of introduction in this new universe (now I’ll talk about Pattinson’s Batman), and his bat-family. The Robin that can be seen this time will be Damian Wayne, Bruce Wayne’s biological son, so it will be time to see a Robin with serious self-control problems, something violent and that will question his father a lot. It will be based on Grant Morrison’s Batman comics.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow
And from Morrison we jump to another great one, Tom King, who published a very interesting story about Superman’s cousin, and which will now be brought to the big screen in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Kara Zor-El is expected to be much tougher than usual, since she will start from the base of having spent 14 years of his life on Krypton, watching his family being massacred.
The bog thing
This will be the last film Gunn has lined up, and it was clear he couldn’t leave behind the character popularized by our trusty black magician, Alan Moore. This film will be framed in horror movies, although I don’t think it will be that scary, and will explore the origins of the thing and its relationship with the participants of this universe.
¿Y Flash, Aquaman, The Batmanetc.?
Don’t worry, they are still standing and they will arrive before everything mentioned. Aquaman, Shazam and Blue Beetle will have their movies and they will not be excluded from this universe; and it will be the movie The Flash the one that will make a reset to all the previous published.
With respect to The Batman 2, Joker: Foile à Deux and other possible projects on the big and small screen, they will be framed within DC Elseworlds, that is, a separate universe unrelated to this phase. A kind of mixed bag to accommodate other types of projects.
