The first 10 projects in the works for the DC Universe have been unveiled by DC Studios chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran. The current plans see the DCU kick off with 5 series and 5 films, spanning live-action and animated TV series and theatrical films.
“Here at DC, we have Metropolis, Gotham, Themyscira, Atlantis, Bialya… This is the world that we’re creating,” Gunn shares. “We’re coming into a world where superheroes exist and have existed for some time in one form or another, and that’s the universe. We are telling a big, huge central story [...]. What we’re starting with today is the first part of the first chapter of our universe,” reveals Safran. “The first chapter’s called ‘Gods and Monsters.’ Many of the following projects are already being worked on, but we’re remaining flexible and we’re going to adjust because we’re never going to put a project into production before the script is right. This is a general timeline, but there will be flexibility within it.”
Among the 10 projects, Gunn and Safran announced one animated series (Creature Commandos), four live-action series (Waller, Lanterns, Paradise Lost, Booster Gold) and five theatrical films (Superman: Legacy, The Authority, The Brave and the Bold, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Swamp Thing).
Currently, of all the projects, only Superman: Legacy has a release date planned for July 11, 2025. More details under the cut:
The projects listed below are in order of announcement. No other release date has been unveiled yet. All the series will be released on HBO Max, and all the films in theaters. 
“Creature Commandos” — Series, animated The main characters appearing in the series will be The Bride of Frankenstein, Eric Frankenstein, Rick Flag Sr., Nina Mazursky, Doctor Phosphorus, G.I. Robot and Weasel.
“Waller” — Series, live-action Viola Davis will reprise her role as Amanda Waller, with characters from the live-action Peacemaker series appearing as regulars too. Christal Henry (Watchmen) and Jeremy Carver (Doom Patrol) will write the series. The story will be set between the first season of Peacemaker and the second.
“Superman: Legacy” (2025) — Film, live-action Not an origin story, the James Gunn written film will focus on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. The film has been set for a July 11, 2025 release date.
“Lanterns” — Series, live-action Starring two of the most famous Green Lanterns — Hal Jordan and John Stewart — it’s going to be more of a True Detective-type mystery, a terrestrial-based mystery that leads into the overall story that will be told throughout the different movies and television shows of the DCU. “We find this ancient horror on Earth, and these guys are basically supercops on ‘Precinct Earth.’” — James Gunn
“The Authority” — Film, live-action A lot of WildStorm imprint characters will be included in the DCU, and this is an example. The Authority will focus on a group of characters who are good-intentioned, but they think that the world is completely broken and the only way to fix it is to take things into their own hands, whether that means killing people, destroying heads of state, changing governments—basically, whatever they want to do to make the world better.
“Paradise Lost” — Series, live-action Paradise Lost will be envisioned as a Game of Thrones-type story about Themyscira/Paradise Island, home of the Amazons and the birthplace of Wonder Woman. The story will take place before Diana’s birth and will involve all the darkness and political matters behind the society of Themyscira.
“The Brave and the Bold” — Film, live-action This will mark the introduction of the DCU’s Batman. Not Robert Pattinson, not Ben Affleck. This is a story of Damian Wayne, who’s Batman’s actual son that he didn’t know existed for the first eight to ten years of his life. He was raised as a little murderer and assassin. It will be based on the Grant Morrison comic run. Other members of the Bat-Family will be included as well.
“Booster Gold” — Series, live-action Booster Gold is a total fan favorite. A loser from the future who uses his basic future technology to come back to today to pretend to be a superhero. Per Gunn, “it as basically the story of a superhero’s imposter syndrome. How do you deal with that? (It’s about) how he tries to use this future technology to be loved by the people of today and what is really at the base of that. It’s a character story that’s going to be a very different type of show.”
“Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” — Film, live-action In this story, which will be based on Tom King (and Bilquis Evely)’s wonderful comic, “we have Superman who was sent to Earth and raised by incredibly loving parents while Kara was on Krypton. She was on a piece of Krypton that drifted away from the planet and she lived there for the first fourteen years of her life in a horrible situation where she watched everyone around her die. She will be a much harsher Supergirl than you’ve been used to thus far.”
“Swamp Thing” — Film, live-action According to Peter Safran, “it’s important to point out that in these stories, although they’re interconnected, they’re not all tonally the same. Each set of filmmakers bring their own aesthetic to these films, and the fun is seeing how these tonally different works mash up in the future.This is brought us to include a film that will investigate the dark origins of [the very-well known character of] Swamp Thing.”

DC Studios | Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters
Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters:
Creature Commandos: An animated seven episode series, written by Gunn, that is already in production. Originally a team of classic monsters assembled to fight Nazis, this is a modern take on the concept. The voice actors have yet to be cast but the executives are looking to find people who can voice the animated characters and also portray the live-action versions when the anti-heroes to show up in movies and shows.
Waller: A spin-off of Gunn’s own HBO Max hit series, Peacemaker, Viola Davis will return as the ruthless and morally ambiguous head of a government task force. It is being written by Christal Henry (Watchmen) and Jeremy Carver, the creator of the Doom Patrol TV series.
Superman: Legacy: The movie featuring the Man of Steel that Gunn is writing and may direct, although no commitments on that end have been made. While the two previous titles are meant to be “aperatifs,” in Safran’s words, Superman is the true kick off for the duo’s DCU plans. “It’s not an origin story,” Safran said. “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 that kindness as old-fashioned.” A release date of July 11, 2025 has been penciled in.
Lanterns: Greg Berlanti’s long-in-the-works Green Lanterns TV series has been scrapped and the duo have parted ways with the longtime DC series steward. In its place will be a new take on the space cops with power rings. “Our vision for this is very much in the vein of True Detective,” Safran described. “It’s terrestrial-based.” It will feature prominent Lantern heroes Hal Jordan and John Stewart and is one of the most important shows they have in development. “This plays a really big role in leading into the main story we are telling across film and TV.”
The Authority: a movie based on a team of superheroes with rather extreme methods of protecting the planet that first originated in the late 1990s under an influential imprint known as Wildstorm, run by artist and now head of DC publishing, Jim Lee. “One of the things of the DCU is that it’s not just a story of heroes and villains,” said Gunn. “Not every film and TV show is going to be about good guy vs. bad guy, giant things from the sky comes and good guy wins. There are white hats, black hats and grey hats.” Added Safran: “They are kinda like Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men. They know that you want them on the wall. Or at least they believe that.”
Paradise Lost: The duo describe this HBO Max series as a Game of Thrones-style drama set on the all-female island that is Wonder Woman’s birthplace, Themyscira, filled with political intrigue and scheming between power players. It takes place before the events of the Wonder Woman films.
The Brave and the Bold: “This is the introduction of the DCU Batman,” said Gunn. “Of Bruce Wayne and also introduces our favorite Robin, Damian Wayne, who is a little son of a bitch.” The movie will take inspiration from the now-classic Batman run written by Grant Morrison that introduced Batman to a son he never knew existed: a murderous tween raised by assassins. “It’s a very strange father-and-son story.”
And, importantly, it will feature a Batman not played by Robert Pattinson…
Booster Gold: an HBO Max series based on a unique and lower-tiered hero created in 1986. Safran said of the series, “It’s about a loser from the future who uses basic future technology to come back to today and pretend to be a superhero.” Gunn described it as “imposter syndrome as superhero.”
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow: Taking its cues from the recent Tom King-written mini-series, this movie project promises to have a different take than what most think of when the idea of Superman’s cousin comes to mind. “We will see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl, raised on a rock, a chip off of Krypton, and who watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life and then come to Earth. She is much more hardcore and not the Supergirl we’re used to.”
Swamp Thing: a horror film that promises to close out the first part of the first chapter.

...Marvel might have some actual competition.
A Superman AND a Supergirl movie written by James Gunn?
A live-action Booster Gold series?
An animated show involving the Creature Commandos?
A Batman and Damian Wayne’s Robin movie called Brave and the Bold (RIP to the Brave and the Bold I know)?
A live-action series about Green Lanterns featuring Hal Jordan AND John Stewart and is treated like true detectives?
An Amanda Waller series that seems like a sequel to Peacemaker?
A Game of Thrones like show on Wonder Woman’s home island?
A frickin’ horror movie about SWAMP THING?!
All that AND promising all the other movies like The Batman and Joker can remain in their own canon?
Marvel, I love you, and I always will, but DC has my attention now.
