The DCU is officially underway. With Superman launching the new DC Universe and Supergirl arriving next, we're breaking down James Gunn's DCU, what's working, what isn't, and where DC Studios should go from here.
This week on The Movie Knights Roundtable, we discuss the future of the DCU after Superman, Supergirl, Clayface, Creature Commandos, Peacemaker Season 2, Lanterns, and the projects that have already been announced.
We look back at James Gunn's original DC Studios announcement, evaluate what we've seen so far, discuss whether the current strategy is working, and debate what the next phase of the DC Universe should look like.
We also discuss whether DC has become more creatively exciting than Marvel, how important Supergirl and Clayface are to the future of the franchise, and what DC Studios needs to stop doing if they want to build a successful shared universe.
If you're a fan of DC Comics, Superman, Supergirl, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Justice League, the DCU, James Gunn, Peter Safran, and the future of superhero movies, this episode is for you.
What should be the next major DCU project after Supergirl?
