DC Films The DC Studios News and Discussion Thread

[Boom]

1) There's been positive development on Paradise Lost
2) Gunn's next movie project includes her

I'm thinking official announcement of a reboot. Its been five years since WW84 and they don't have the Batman issue of having two different versions running simultaneously.

 

[Isub_Zero]

I wouldn't take those "news" too serious. Every now and then Gunn says something like this about Wonder Woman, and so far - It just words thrown in the air.

I think there are bigger chances Gunn will remove Wonder Woman from his DCU's Justice League for Supergirl/Hawkgirl.

 

[dhandler01]

Ah yes...the "Insert Person is Going to Screw Wonder Woman" conspiracy is alive and well. I remember when people were saying the Patty WW was never going to happen even when they were filming it

David Zaslav literally just named Superman, Supergirl, Batman and Wonder Woman as the pillars of DC's focus. Chances are we haven't heard much because things are being set into motion in a different way.

Well Gunn has another 2 years in the job. Let see if anything gonna happend with Wonder Woman, During this time. And just to be clear - Wonder Woman, not Themyscira.
One thing is for sure - at this 2 years time frame, there is a very slim chance they'll ,actually, manage to put out a Wonder Woman movie. But hey... maybe they'll cast someone. We'll just wait and see.

 

[Boom]

He'll likely be re-upped unless Superman and Supergirl are unmitigated disasters.

Loved the new Superman trailer — gives real Man of Steel vibes

Did he not name Wonder Woman in all the other investor meetings?

In 2022 he had WW has a top franchise.....NOTHING since

 

[BobJM]

I’m still hoping Batman: Brave and the Bold gets reworked into World’s Finest.

And I know it sounds just like BvS but I’d have Wonder Woman in that movie too—but I’d use Matt Wagner’s Trinity as the blueprint

Catch me up...how many DC films have happened since then?

How many films have been announced? And WB isnt strictly FILMS. They are also games. tv shows. animated shows. You know - Batman animated series. Superman animated series.

What's different this time with him naming Wonder Woman? Because nothing has changed since he said the same thing 2 years ago

 

[dhandler01]

2 years ago they were relaunching everything. Do you not see how things are different post Superman than before?

No. Because once again this isnt just about the DCU. It's about these characters as properties within themselves.

The way I see it, silence is isn't a bad thing. Just because a project isn't ready doesn't mean it won't happen. Things change and time lines change, we're just going to have to be patient.

When there's zero Batman or Superman in any form of media outside of comics for 5+ years....we can be patient

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I get it, but we'll just have to see. I think it's a shame the game got canned.

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

Clayface is cool and all, and I know this has potential as a movie. But I just don’t really care that much

SGT rock I couldn’t care less about

I definitely would’ve prioritized other films first if I were Gunn. At least we’re getting Lanterns

 

[emielaen]

Eh. They shouldn't sit on scripts that they like because they don't have a WW film out yet. Superman, Supergirl, Lanterns coming with Titans, Batman and WW in development is a pretty rock solid foundation.

How 'Superman' shepherds the DC universe of tomorrow (exclusive)

'Superman' lights the way! Ten superstars — including David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and director/studio head James Gunn — take EW inside the first feature film from the franchise's new era.

ew.com

The next movie in the DCU after Superman will be Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, starring Milly Alcock as Kal-El's cousin Kara Zor-El, on June 26, 2026. But what about Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince? Already announced for development are a film inspired by Grant Morrison's Batman and Son comic, as well as a Paradise Island HBO series about the Amazons of Themyscira.

The latter is "slow moving, but it's moving," Gunn says, while confirming a Wonder Woman movie is "being written right now."

Gunn hasn't yet cast the DCU's Batman or Wonder Woman, but notes that Robert Pattinson "is still there" in director Matt Reeves' corner of the DC franchise. Although there have been many delays, Pattinson will return for The Batman Part II. Meanwhile, Reeves continues to build out his "Batman Epic Crime Saga," a series of movies and shows, including The Penguin, that remain separate from the main DCU franchise's story continuity.

"What Matt's doing is still really important, despite all stories to the contrary," Gunn comments. "We're supposed to see that script shortly, and I can't wait."

With all of these projects, Gunn is conscious not to give audiences homework, which is not dissimilar to Marvel's current post-Endgame approach. You won't have to watch Superman to enjoy Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, he says: "I am really trying to be careful that anybody can dip in and see the story that is up next and not feel like they're missing information."

Exactly. Whether I am interested in the film or not is immaterial Gunn is correct prioritize the films that are ready to go and stop making promises that might not be kept. WB has been notorious for "Announce First and Worry About the Rest Later".

I mean personally, I want the Mangold Swamp Thing...but I dont want them to discuss it until Mangold is ready.
