Update: DCU Slate Breakdown

"The first project is Creature Commandos. Creature Commandos is an animated series, [Gunn has] written all of the episodes... Something that [they]'re going to do that's a little bit different at DC is [that they]'re going to have characters move into animation, out of animation, usually having the same actor play their voice as who plays them in live action."

"The next project up is Waller. This is a story of Amanda Waller, played by Viola Davis. Viola Davis is going to team up with members of team Peacemaker, and this is a story that has been created by Christal Henry, who did Watchmen, and Jeremy Carver, who created the Doom Patrol. It is a fantastic story, that is out of this world, and [Gunn] can't wait for people to see it.

"Ok, next up is a big one, the true beginning of the DCU, this is called Superman: Legacy. This is being written by [James Gunn], [who is] in the middle of it, having a great time doing it, and Superman will be released into theaters July 11, 2025."

"Ok, the next thing is a big premiere HBO television series called Lanterns. This is the story of a couple of Green Lanterns, John Stewart, and Hal Jordan, and [they] have a few other Lanterns peppered in there, but this is really a terrestrial-based TV show which is almost like true detective with a couple of Green Lanterns who are space-cops watching over Precinct Earth. In it, they discover a terrifying mystery that ties into [the] larger story of the DCU."

"Next is a big movie called The Authority. The Authority is a passion project of [Gunn's], it is based on the marvelous, wild storm characters [they] are now bringing into the DCU, and will interact with all of [the] primary DCU characters. The Authority are a group of superheroes who think the world is broken, and they want to fix it by any means necessary, [and Gunn] think it is a very different look at superheroes."

"[They]'re a television series called Paradise Lost. Paradise Lost is a story of Paradise Island, usually known as Themyscira, which is the birthplace of Wonder Woman, so it is almost like Game of Thrones with Westeros, but with all of the inhabitants of Paradise Island."

"The introduction of the DCU's Batman, is The Brave and The Bold. The Brave and The Bold is the story of Batman and his actual son, Damian Wayne. This is based on Grant Morrison's great comic book run. Damian Wayne is [Gunn's] favorite Robin, he's a little assassin who[m] Batman tries to get in line, so this is the story of the two of them and the beginning of the Bat Family in the DCU."

"Next up is a TV series called Booster Gold. Booster Gold is one of comic's really popular cult heroes, he is a fascinating guy, he's a loser from the future who uses future technology to come back to present day and become a superhero so that people will love him. It is basically the superhero story of impostor syndrome on an HBO Max series."

"One of [Gunn's] favorite comic book series from last year was Tom King's run of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, so [they]'re going to turn that into a big science-fiction epic film. Now, Superman is a guy who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents, whereas Supergirl, in this story, she is a character who is raised on a chunk of Krypton, she watched everybody around her perish in some terrible way, so she is a much more jaded character."

"And that brings [Gunn] to Swamp Thing, the last thing [they]'re going to talk about. [This is] a very dark horror story in the origins of the monster who is Swamp Thing. And although it is totally outside of the rest of the DCU, it will still feed into the rest of the stories."
