From the days of Crisis on Infinite Earths,DC has understood the importance of new starts, taking our favorite superheroes in unexpected new directions and establishing a DC Universe that reflects the world of today. It’s certainly been true for our comics, and it’s equally true for our many movies and TV series.
Last year, Warner Bros. Discovery announced that blockbuster filmmaker James Gunn and producer extraordinaire Peter Safran had been hired as Co-Chairmen and CEOs of DC Studios, the new studio tapped with overseeing all DC film, TV, animation and game projects going forward. Since then, of course, DC fans have all pretty much been wondering the same thing: what new movies and TV series are they working on?
James Gunn: The first series that we’re doing, and I’ve already written the entire series, is Creature Commandos. This is an animated TV series and this is art from the animation company that’s doing it. Creature Commandos is based on the great team from DC.
What we’re doing with the DCU is we’re having animation tied directly into live action. Television, movies and games all intertwine within the same universe. We’re going to cast actors that are going to be able to play the characters in this, as well as in other things, some of which we’ve already cast. I’ve written all seven episodes of this show and it’s in production now.
In the image (going from left to right), that's Rick Flag, Sr. He's going to show up in other stuff. Then Nina Mazursky. Doctor Phosphorus, a Batman villain. Frankenstein—Eric Frankenstein, specifically. The Bride of Frankenstein, who's the lead. Finally, G.I. Robot and Weasel.
DC has been clueless about bringing heroes to tv and movies for decades. A few offerings such as the Miller batverse that only "proved the exception that proved the rule". But now, suddenly they know what they are doing.
LMAO. Right.
If they could have created a DCverse the way Marvel created a MARVELverse to the tune of BILLIONS in profits. I think... They would have. They didn't because, they couldn't. And whether after all this time and cluelessness they suddenly CAN, remains to be seen.
Now would be the time as DIS-MARVEL is generally torpedoing their MARVELverse into the grave.
