People blaming James Gunn for that too.

Even though that was decided even before he signed on.

I still need to start Season 4 of Doom Patrol, and Part 1 of Season 4 of Titans, but I had a feeling it would be the last for both Shows. It's funny though they are stopping these Shows but want to put Gotham Knights on TV expecting people to get behind that in March stop it DC. I'm just happy Superman & Lois is surviving and to me is the best Show they have done in awhile with Doom Patrol coming up the rear with that.

 

[Sabretooth]

Good. Titans is the worst fucking show I’ve ever seen.

 

[Y2Jayne]

I don't know why, but I always felt like Sabretooth didn't like Titans very much.

It’s too much to comment on at once but all I can say is thank god we have an actual fucking plan. Thank god DC is actually being carefully planned out now and not having shit thrown at the wall. I’m very excited for the future after this announcement.

Creature Commandos

:

A seven-episode animated 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 antiheroes show up in movies and series.


Waller: In a spinoff 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 “aperitifs,” 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 is 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 Gunn and Safran 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 versus bad guy, giant things from the sky come and good guy wins. There are white hats, black hats and gray 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. However, there is also …

The Batman sequel: Pattinson will continue to portray the Dark Knight in at least one more crime saga movie directed by Matt Reeves. That movie, the executives revealed, will be released Oct. 3, 2025, and is being titled The Batman Part II.

“2025 is going to be a very big year for DC,” crowed Safran. “Superman and Batman within the same year.”

Booster Gold: An HBO Max series based on a unique, lesser-known 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 miniseries, this movie promises a different take than what most think of when 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 hard-core 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.

Honestly when Gunn was talking I was yup...yup...yup because I don't believe anything anyone says to me till I see a Trailer for these projects. He might be saying this and that will come out but who's to say that Slate doesn't change down the line. The only things that interest me is of course The Batman 2, Superman: Legacy, and Lanterns. I don't see the need for a Waller Show at all considering she is a side dish to a Meal I feel not sure if I wanna see her be an afterthought in the Show they have planned. The Swamp Thing Show they had I thought was underrated not sure if I wanna see a run it back Film with all the same tones. I'm a little peed off with the Brave and the Bold involving Batman and his Son. I don't understand why you go that Robin, when you haven't done a Film version of Dick or Jason. I'm more worried about who plays Batman though and please keep that Teenage angst to a mininum please.

Disappointed that The Authority isn't about a Triple H/McMahon heel stable.

Booster Gold better be the Kevin Smith project.

Who would want as Booster Gold? I think Ryan Reynolds could fit that mold but with Deadpool 3 he might not be wanting to be any Superhero for a little bit of time unless Marvel has a plan to use him down the road. The positive I do is the Elseworlds stuff you can do anything and not tie it to anything. I can finally get Batman Beyond, and Superman Red Sun with Cavill. I forgot DC has Joker 2, and the Penguin Show coming so that is something I'm really looking forward to.

Brandon Sklenar as Batman or Superman it needs to happen. He proved to me in half a Season of 1923 that he can be the guy that the Women will want to sleep with like Lois, while also being a badass, or a humble fellow like Supes.

If Armie Hammer wasn't a weirdo with rich family fuckery, I'd say he was perfect, since he literally looks like the character.

How about they give the kid Taylor Kitsch one more shot at being a leading man?

It seems like Gunn wants a younger Supes though. but maybe for Batman. I wonder who will play Damian Wayne hey Timothée Chalamet come on down. Granted he's nearly 30 but he still looks like a kid in High School but they might want to go younger but I rather see him as a Teenager/Young Adult.
