While Marvel is gearing up to launch a fresh, soft-reset era driven by mutant storytelling and massive legacy characters, DC’s 2028 slate is facing a serious identity crisis. In this breakdown, we examine the major roadblocks standing in DC’s way:

Elseworlds vs. The Main Slate: The danger of running Matt Reeves’ delayed The Batman Part II alongside experimental animated projects like Dynamic Duo, while mainstream audiences are still waiting for a unified Justice League direction.
