My, what a difference a hit film can make, right? Just a few years ago, the DC Universe on screen was basically obliterated, as Warner Bros. moved on from the Zack Snyder fueled vision of its heroes. In place of that came James Gunn, who along with Peter Safran, is now in charge. We’ve seen Creature Commandos and Peacemaker on HBO Max, but with his film Superman now in theaters, the new DC Universe has really launched. So, it feels like a good time to ask about your thoughts on this moment. Just like that, we have an Awards Radar Community question, now don’t we?
As a reminder, this here is what I said about the topic in my review of Superman:
To that end, if this is what we can expect from Gunn and Peter Safran going forward, then Supergirl next year can’t come soon enough. Hell, everything they’ve got brewing seems all the more interesting now that we’ve determined that they’re the right folks for the job. Marvel may have ran circles around DC initially with their Marvel Cinematic Universe, but Superman suggests that Gun and Safran can narrow the gap in a real hurry.
Next year, we’re getting Supergirl as well as Clayface in theaters. The small screen will have Lanterns as well, making 2026 the busiest year for Gunn and Safran yet. Then, we’ve got movies like The Authority, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, and Swamp Thing in the works, in various stages of development. This is all good news if you’re pleased with Superman, though if you’re not, it could be more of a threat than a promise. That’s just a matter of perspective.
The time to chime in is now. How do you feel about this new DC Universe? What did you think about Superman? Whether you’re happy or sad, and we’ve heard both voices shouting this week, it’s a safe spot to make your feelings known. As long as you’re respectful and don’t accuse critics of being paid off to like something, consider this an open forum. Have at it…
