Co- chairman and co-CEO of DC Studios James Gunn has actually used even more insight into his and Peter Safran’s technique to recalibrating the DCU, exposing that the franchise might consist of both PG-13 and R-rated jobs. As detailed by DC.com, Gunn will intend to do whatever finest fits the story and its characters, indicating that things might get bloody needs to the circumstance require it.


“It depends on the story. We’re going to give every story what it deserves. Some things we know. Superman is definitely something we know we’d like to be PG-13, so I’m going to make sure it is. Other things, like the Waller TV show, are a little bit more mature. And we have other things that are aimed a bit more at young women or at kids that are still within this world.”

This would not be the very first time James Gunn has actually brought more fully grown aspects to the world of DC, with the director helming the very first R-rated task in the DCEU with The Suicide Squad in 2021. Since then, Gunn has actually continued to bring violence and nasty language with the seriously well-known very first season ofPeacemaker And it definitely seems like he wants to continue this technique in his and Safran’s DCU.


The First Phase of the DCU is Titled Chapter 1: Gods & & Monsters

Thanks to James Gunn’s wonderfully personalized discussion the other day, we now have a remarkably educated concept of what the very first chapter of the brand-new DCU will appear like. Titled Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters, the franchise will start with a Superman reboot; Superman: Legacy.

Introducing a more youthful variation of the Man of Steel, Superman: Legacy will see the character handle “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 of kindness as old-fashioned.”

Things will then make an unexpected lunge towards the more odd, with the DCU presenting audiences to The Authority, a superhero group with rather severe and unconventional approaches of safeguarding the world and performing justice. All of which seems like it’s sobbing out for an R-rating.

“The Authority is a very different kind of superhero story. They are basically good intention, 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, whatever they want to do to make the world better,” Gunn described. “And we’ll see how that journey opts for them. But as I stated previously, there’s ethically gray characters of which these are.”

Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters will likewise consist of the Batman task The Brave and the Bold, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, a Swamp Thing reboot, a Wonder Woman prequel series entitled Paradise Lost, the animated series Creature Commandos, a Waller– focused spinoff series, a Green Lantern series in the vein of True Detective entitled Lanterns, and a Booster Gold– fronted series.
