DCU Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters

After a private press event on Monday, January 30, 2023, Co-Chairmen and CEOs of DC Studios James Gunn and Peter Safran announced to the public on January 31st the first batch of projects planned for DC Universe’s first chapter, titled “Gods and Monsters”. 

Collider shares Gunn and Safran’s plan maps out 2 chapters in this universe, which will take 8 to 10 years to be told, leaving space for other stories in the future.

5 films and 5 HBO Max series (one of them animated) were disclosed:

CREATURE COMMANDOS Animated Series

7 episodes written by Gunn. Amanda Waller creates a black-ops team out of monstrous prisoners.

L-R: Rick Flag Sr. (who is going to appear in other projects too), Nina Mazursky, Doctor Phosphorus (Batman villain), Eric Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein (the lead), G.I. Robot and Weasel.

WALLER Series

Starring Viola Davis, this series features Team Peacemaker, taking place between season 1 and the future season 2.

SUPERMAN: LEGACY Film

The proper launch of the DCU. Written by Gunn, will focus on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing - It won’t be an origin story. Safran describes Superman as “kindness in a world that thinks of kindness as old fashioned”. On theaters on July 11, 2025. 

Superman’s actor has not been cast yet.

LANTERNS Series

Starring Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart. A True Detective-type mystery on Earth investigated by the duo, who find an ancient horror that leads into the overall story arc of the DCU. 

THE AUTHORITY Film

DC’s WildStorm team who think the ends justify the means. Gunn explains “They are basically 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. We’ll see how that journey goes for them. There are morally gray characters (in our DCU), of which these are.”

PARADISE LOST Series

Set in Themyscira or Paraside Island, home of the Amazons and birthplace of Wonder Woman. The series focuses on the genesis and political intrigue of this society of women. Takes place before Diana is born.

THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD Film

The DCU will introduce its Batman and his son Damian Wayne, Robin, who Bruce didn’t know existed for the first eight to ten years of his life, and who was raised as an assassin. Inspired by Grant Morrison's comics. 

DCU’s Batman has not been cast yet. Matt Reeves’ The Batman - Part II, starring Robert Pattinson, will hit theaters on October 3, 2025, but outside of the DCU continuity, under the “DC Elsewords” seal. Similarly, Joker: Folie à Deux will also continue to be its own separate Elsewords project.

BOOSTER GOLD Series

As put by Safran: “A loser from the future who uses his basic future technology to come back to today to pretend to be a superhero”. 

SUPERGIRL: WOMAN OF TOMORROW Film

A science fiction adventure based on Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s comic. 

Gunn explains that while Superman was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents, Kara was on a piece of Krypton that drifted away from the planet, and lived there for the first fourteen years of her life in a horrible situation where she watched everyone around her die. “She’s a much harsher and more f*cked up Supergirl than you’ve been used to thus far.”

SWAMP THING Film

The film will investigate the dark origins of Swamp Thing.

Other projects from Chapter 1 remain under wraps for now!

The series follows new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.
