Calvin's Canadian Cave of Coolness: January 2023

Tuesday, January 31, 2023

Today James Gunn announced the first phase of the DCU. Some interesting projects here like THE AUTHORITY. I always enjoyed that comic book adaptation of the Justice League. Comparisons between the two groups are inevitable. I am disappointed not to see WW3 on the list. Gal Gadot is such a fabulous Wonder Woman, my favorite DCU character. I would be a loss to put her on the shelf in favor of that series on the Amazons of Themyscira, which could be very cool to see. I hope the story takes place with Gadot in the lead. Here are the rest of the future line-up.

DC movies

Superman: Legacy – written by Gunn, the film will hit theaters on July 11, 2025, and focus on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing.

The Authority – WildStorm characters will join the DCU as members of The Authority take matters into their own hands to do what they believe is right.

The Brave and the Bold – the DCU will introduce its Batman and Robin in this unusual father-son story inspired by Grant Morrison's comic series.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow - this science fiction adventure, which will be based on Tom King's amazing, award-winning recent comics stories, presents a Supergirl viewers are not used to seeing.

Swamp Thing – the film will investigate the dark origins of Swamp Thing.

The Batman – Part II — the film will hit theaters on Oct. 3, 2025.

DC HBO TV series

Waller – starring Viola Davis, this series features Team Peacemaker and will be written by Christal Henry (Watchmen) and Jeremy Carver (Supernatural)
