Well, fuck it. I’m laid off this week, so I might as well spill the beans on what I know is happening at DC Studios. I won’t say exactly what I worked on — call me RedGhost. Here’s what I know:

Lanterns
>This show is really cool. It’s a lot like True Detective Season 1. Each episode builds up from the perspective of the Lanterns. We also see Oa and get some space scenes. The budget looks pretty big, especially for the effects, think Dune: Prophecy kind of scale.


Supergirl
>The release date is being moved to May 2026 to avoid competition with all the June and July films. It’ll probably come out early May, maybe the first weekend. Depends on whether The Mandalorian movie moves up or not.

Clayface
>The movie’s going very well. Filming starts in September. The budget is locked at $40 million. Zaslav is expecting it to pick up awards.

>>149428509 (OP)
Wonder Woman
>Fast-tracked for May 2027. Zaslav wants to avoid releasing DC films in June or July until they’ve got a stronger footing. He’s pushing for better release dates. Gunn apparently admitted behind closed doors that keeping Superman on July 11 was a mistake — said it should’ve been in June.

The Batman Part II
>Things are going smoothly and fast. Filming begins this fall for a 2027 release. The Batman will officially become part of the DCU, but that announcement will be made at NYCC 2025 when they reveal the next four-year DCU slate. Villain is Prof Pyg and Hush.

Blue Beetle
>He’s showing up in Peacemaker Season 2 as a cameo, and Superman will too.

Booster Gold
>The show is on hold for now. They’re planning to turn it into a buddy comedy with Blue Beetle. Booster will be younger than most people expect.

Legion of Superheroes
>The next movie featuring Superman will be Legion of Superheroes, a team-up with Supergirl to fight Brainiac. The Legion comes from the future to help stop him. Bradley Cooper will return as Jor-El and have a much bigger role this time. Planned for 2027 or 2028, will talk more in a bit.

Justice League
>The next Justice League film is planned for 2030. The Reach are set to be the big villains of the DCU. Apparently, the whole DCU will be framed as the story of Lex Luthor, kind of like how Guardians of the Galaxy 3 revealed it was always Rocket’s story.

Other projects in the works
>There’s also a Bane project, a Deathstroke project, Plastic Man, Arkham Stories, a Teen Titans film (currently on hold because of the merger), The Batman 3, World’s Finest, Swamp Thing, a Constantine reboot, a Justice League Dark series for HBO, a Green Lantern movie alongside more Lanterns seasons, an Aquaman miniseries, and a Flash miniseries for HBO.

>>149428529
So,
>Legion of Super-Heroes was originally planned for 2027, but it might be released around March or April 2028. Gunn is expected to face criticism for his Superman movie and will likely take it into account to revise his script and figure out what went wrong with certain aspects. Also, The Authority film is being reworked as a Superman sequel, with Matthew Vaughn offering his take on it. Vaughn was among the first to see a cut of Superman and is currently working on the script, which he’s sharing with Gunn for feedback and collaboration.

>>149428537
Also, Damien is on hold for now. Dick is planned for The Batman 2, but they need to see where they go storywise. Damian is done for.

Also, Dynamic Duo will be elseworlds story not part of DCU.

I’ll run with it even though you write very similar to other anons who create fake leaks.

Do you know what Gunn was saying in terms of keeping his cards to his chest so another studio doesn’t steal his idea? Do you know who the A-List actor Gunn said pitched him a project which he wouldn’t make unless it’s a masterpiece? (And, are you the same guy who said this actor was pitching a Rorschach film a week ago?)

Thanks anon. Sorry about your job if you’re telling the truth (and hopefully you are).

>>149428630
>Do you know what Gunn was saying in terms of keeping his cards to his chest so another studio doesn’t steal his idea?
It's >>149428537

>Do you know who the A-List actor Gunn said pitched him a project which he wouldn’t make unless it’s a masterpiece?
Tom Cruise pitched Gunn a Deadman movie, he said he wouldn't star in it but wants to produce it because he likes the character.

>(And, are you the same guy who said this actor was pitching a Rorschach film a week ago?)
No.

>>149428537
If they are doing a Legion movie, I hope that Sensor appears on the roster. Gunn likes weirder characters, so I’m not entirely without hope of seeing the cute snake on the silver screen.

>>149428529
>Bradley Cooper will return as Jor-El and have a much bigger role this time.

Keep Bendis shit out of my Superman film!

>The next movie featuring Superman will be Legion of Superheroes, a team-up with Supergirl to fight Brainiac.

this makes no sense, Braniac 5 is on LEGION and dates Supergirl, what could Braniac 1 even hope to accomplish?

>Apparently, the whole DCU will be framed as the story of Lex Luthor
Elaborate on this more. Is he being built up as the ultimate villain or something?
>The Reach
Lame. This is their Thanos?

Assuming you’re not LARPing, do you have any information on how the negotiations between Zaslav, Reeves, and Gunn went on Batman and how he would fit into the DCU?

Any further knowledge of the feedback on Superman?

So Battinson is DCU Batman after all?

>>149428747
it'll probably be Blackest Night where he meets Death and doesn't accept it

>>149428548
>>149428509 (OP)
>Also, Damien is on hold for now. Dick is planned for The Batman 2, but they need to see where they go storywise. Damian is done for.
If older rumors are correct. Damian will be the Robin in the teen titans movie. Tim drake being made gay doomed him for mainstream adaptions.

>>149428747
>Super-Lex imminent.
I will kill you if you're lying

>>149428747
>>149428776
Gunn said he was a Smallville fan and is a fan of Rosenbaum’s Lex. Lex in Smallville is clearly the most compelling character, so if that’s his reference to the Superman mythos (which is the foundation of the DCU) having Lex as the main character makes sense.

>>149428807
true he was the best live action luthor

>>149428509 (OP)
>>149428529
>>149428537
Source: OP's ass

That said, I'd be ok with all of this really. I've been dying for a LoSH movie for years and it's one thing DC could do that Marvel really couldn't. Superman vs. The Authority could work as a sequel too. But what kills me is "Gunn is expected to face criticism for his Superman movie." lol

>>149428509 (OP)
So Mister Terrific isn't getting spinoff?

>>149428834

I'm enjoying that my wishful thinking and shitposting about a Legion movie/Legion references in Superman (which I haven't seen and I don't think has any) has trickled into leakers bullshit. Not in a "they read me" way but in a Morrisonian shitposting causes magik way.

>Legion of Superheroes
I hope you guys are ready for black Lightning Lad.

>>149428881
You know black lightning was created for Super Friends, just stick the other 3 PoC created for that show on Legion as well. Let's finally get live action Apache Chief.

>>149428912
I know, but I'm saying there's already a precedent thanks to Bendis, and that one Legion movie.

>>149428762
Yes

>>149428509 (OP)
Is that sideways? If so, they need to stop while they are ahead.

>The Batman will officially become part of the DCU, but that announcement will be made at NYCC 2025 when they reveal the next four-year DCU slate. Villain is Prof Pyg and Hush
Ew man that shits gross. Both of those.
I'm praying this shit dies horribly. Both TB and the official DCU.
I will never not resent Nolan for not just handing over Bale for BvS if there was ever a time to cuck out and just put a pre existing Batman in the DCU it was then, TDKR was ass.

>>149428509 (OP)
I am a giant coomer. Pick the project that you think has the highest coomer power level.

Also, pick the project, either yours or your friends that you think deserves more attention, not necessarily DC. There's too much low quality shit, that I can't track it all, but I might spend more time if you vouch for it.

it'd be funny if Gunn brings Snyder aboard to direct one of these movies

I'm ready to write off DC completely

>>149429268
Snyder can do some Image bullshit like Spawn

>>149428509 (OP)
>It’s a lot like True Detective Season 1
so, shit.

>>149428548
>Damian is done for.

You know this is fake because OP forgot about Sgt Rock

>>149428548
>Also, Damien is on hold for now. Dick is planned for The Batman 2, but they need to see where they go storywise. Damian is done for.
This makes too much sense story-wise to actually be true.

OP full of shit, of course, but I like the LARP.
Why would they do a Deathstroke project if Teen Titans is on hold?
That's like doing a Luthor series before Superman.

>zero mention whatsoever of the authority
horseshit

>>149428548
>Damien is on hold for now. Dick is planned for The Batman 2

Thank God

now we will get Superman and Dick in World’s Finest

and

Teen Titans with Dick

>>149430261
Forget what James Goon said, that actually got canceled for real.

Man, I don’t fuckin’ want Battinson in the DCU. Nothing against him, but I want to see Mr. Freeze shoot a freeze gun and Clayface be an actual clay monster. We won’t get stuff like that under Matt Reeves’s grounded take.

>>149430415
Pattinson in DCU means Reeves will have more fantastical characters in his take though

>>149430404
Gunn didn't like the script so they delayed it to another year, which is a good thing. If this was Marvel they would have greenlit and shot it before they even finalized the ending, which is what they're doing with Doomsday right now.

>>149428548
>DamiEn
Fake news. Solid shit post.

>>149428529
>Plastic Man
this is too based to be real

>wasting Brainiac of LOSH
Fake

Fake as hell but Gunn probably has considered doing a Legion movie

>>149428509 (OP)
>>149428529
>>149428537
>>149428548

Gunn should have moved Superman for June or August. Is he retarded

>>149430882
Tell us the rumors surrounding Superboy Prime appearing in Peacemaker, leaker boy

>>149430915
I actually thought it was June myself so I was surprised it was July and I'm someone who actually pays attention to these sorts of things. June would've been a lot better. Going against FF and Jurassic World was a huge risk

>>149428529
>The Reach
The who? What?

>>149430940
blue beetle aliens

>>149429268
As floored as some of Snyders work is, he can make decent movies provided he had decent writers and a comptant tard rangler behind him

So no Superman 2 for now?

>>149428509 (OP)
I know this is a larp but Gunn is totally lost. Look at picrel, half is already scrapped, he first said this was the plan then changed to "oh that was never the plan just an outline". He makes new bullshit everyday, nothing is certain in this new DCU.

>>149428745
I don't even remember a story where Brainy (5) and Brainiac ever meet. Could be interesting to see developed, and a core emotional focus on Clark, Kara, Brainy and Brainiac could be something compelling. Not gonna poo-poo it out of hand. Depends on how much Bendis there is in it, ultimately, but having Brainy be one of the main characters focused on in a Legion film makes a lot of sense to me, since the first Legion film would most likely heavily feature if not star Clark or Kara as the audience's point of view character.

I would love to see Magic Wars at some point but that's pie in the sky.

>>149431101
More like Floperman lol

>>149431101
Idk how I feel about not doing a straight sequel. I hope he gets one eventually.

>>149431149
I'm not sure what's been scrapped aside from The Authority and Booster Gold and from the language that's been used, it's more like they're just pushed back and not scrapped.

>>149428509 (OP)
>We lost Justice League Part 2 for this.

>>149428509 (OP)
Nice

>>149428509 (OP)

I'll play along and pretend you're real.
If you're still around, what's going on with these rumored projects

>The Huntress
Supposed to be a vehicle for Pom Klementieff

>The Question
rumored for a very long time

>Metal Men
Wasn't there supposed to be an animated movie?

>Wonder Twins
There was a canceled Wonder Twins movie alongside the Batgirl and Batman Beyond MAX projects. Has that been retooled/preserved in any way?

>The announced Waller series
why don't you know anything about it?

>a Flash miniseries for HBO
Is this The Rogues?

>an Aquaman miniseries
Is this The Others? a leak one time last year said that was the plan

>Deadman animated series
this was rumored: https://www.nexuspointnews.com/post/exclusive-deadman-animated-series-in-early-development-at-dc-studios-for-the-dcu

>a Bane project, a Deathstroke project
this was officially reported as one project, a team-up movie: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/batman-villain-bane-movie-dc-studios-1236000421/

>The Reach are set to be the big villains of the DCU
Many leaks said it would be The Centre from The New Frontier

>Mr Miracle animated series
this was formally announced, how come you don't know about it? https://deadline.com/2025/06/mister-miracle-animated-series-warner-dc-studios-tom-king-1236431639/

>this weekend's announced buzz about Mr Terrific and Jimmy Olsen spinoffs

>>149431149
They’re adjusting in real time, based on reception. Is that not a good thing? Wonder Woman and Batman have been made top priority

>Apparently, the whole DCU will be framed as the story of Lex Luthor, kind of like how Guardians of the Galaxy 3 revealed it was always Rocket’s story.

>>149428776
>>149428747

I was suspecting it was going to be Lex and wonder if gunn is going to play it like the end of JLU: https://youtu.be/QaujYj2M4NU?si=dZfOa8Pgvepb6xt4

>>149431009
exactly, I think he'd do well on Authority

>>149431281
>preferring grimdark slop over cool DC shit like World’s Finest, Plastic Man, & Swamp Thing
God, why do we have to share a fan base with snydershits. Fuck Zack Snyder for this

>ctrl+f

>phrase not found

>>149431497
Make it happen, Gunn. The perfect Oliver Queen is right here

>>149431281
The only bad thing about that was the whole superman cuck plot line.

>>149431401
NTA but someone who was in the industry and still reads the industry trades - you are bringing up a bunch of things that came up even before Hamada was in charge and certainly pre-date Gunn - that doesn't mean that some of those projects wouldn't happen. If Spielberg actually found time on his fucking schedule and actually spent his own development money paying someone seed money to write at least a treatment or outline of his proposed Black Hawk movie, you can bet Pam and Mike (and Zaslav) would wet themselves to make it happen, even if Gunn and Safran are supposed to be able to 'do what they want' within DC Studios.

Wonder Twins, for example, is just that.

>>149431165
Hello New Friend.
There's this new fangled thing called the Interwebz. A simple 4 second browser search would have brought you to the LoSH animated series. And even more.

>>149431765
>you are bringing up a bunch of things that came up even before Hamada was in charge and certainly pre-date Gunn

Only the Metal Men and Wonder Twins pre-date Gunn. Everything else has been rumored as a Gunn-era project

>>149431497
>>149431535
I wonder if Gunn will make Ollie John's best friend since Hal won't stick around after just one season of Lanterns.

John Stewart getting to headline a movie entirely because James Gunn wants his own Black Panther.

>>149432257
WB has been trying to make John Stewart a thing in the movies since 2007

>>149431412
>Is that not a good thing? Wonder Woman and Batman have been made top priority
We've been there before

>>149431149
It's not as dire as you'd think yet. We know Creature Commandos, Superman Legacy/Superman 2025 got released, Lanterns and Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow are on the way.

We know that early on the rumors were that The Authority would show up in Superman so that was probably why the project was there, but once the characters changed they probably didn't need to make it a priority. They kept Engineer while Hawkgirl did something that Swift might've done

Waller is probably either pushed to later or folded into Peacemaker Season 2

Batman: Brave and the Bold is there because at the time they didn't want to fold Matt Reeves' Batman in (maybe Gunn wanted it separate or maybe Reeves didn't want to be part of Gunn's DCU) and needed something to be different from his. If the rumors are true that Reeves changed his mind and they're folding his Batman in, then that'd be a reason for them to take it off the table.

We know they cast Booster Gold

Paradise Lost and Swamp Thing we don't know about but with WB wanting to fast-track Wonder Woman, things surrounding the former might've changed

>>149428529
>Wonder Woman
>Fast-tracked

It's not the woke woman era anymore. He's going to kill Wonder Woman worse than 84 did.

>>149428843
These are old leaks or false leaks that OP's embellishing. Also, it's almost been a week for Superman. Don't expect WB to get down to brass tacks about a Mr. Terrific movie so soon.

>>149432257
John Stewart is the better of the two, because his entire existence doesn’t revolve around We Wuz Wakandanz, he’s a more realistic character. DC also has their own version of Storm/ black panther/black pride type character, if they can make Vixen work. Hear me out

>>149428509 (OP)
was rick flag sr on ice or something? how is he not an old man?

>>149433952
>Paradise Lost and Swamp Thing we don't know about

Gunn has talked about Paradise Lost briefly during Superman press. It seems like a standalone prequel to set up the Amazons but won't be necessary homework for Wonder Woman (and it gives them more breathing room to move on from Gal Gadot)

It was reported that Swamp Thing got held up because James Mangold the director got caught up in the Oscar campaign for his Bob Dylan movie.

The rumor was that Clayface took the place as a "standalone horror-centric movie in the DCU" on the release schedule. But its not shelved, just very dependent on its director

>>149431535
I thought the popular fancast was Charlie Hunnam, who's this?

>>149433952
>Batman: Brave and the Bold is there because at the time they didn't want to fold Matt Reeves' Batman in
Gunn is clearly working to quietly delete The Batman 2 and make his Bat the only one, but you bet that if Superman flops or underperform (which seems to tbe the case) they will bring The Batman into the DCU, which will be interesting to watch since Gunn is not a team player.

>>149434487
Model turned actor, Harry Goodwin. He was badass in One Spoon of Chocolate

>>149434771
>(which seems to tbe the case)
It does not seem to be the case. The movie surpassed its projected opening and has had really strong weekday numbers. Word of mouth is good and its likely the movie will have a strong second weekend that smashes its low projections. The weekend to Wednesday drop were some of the best numbers a capeshit film has had.

>>149434870
Oh and its Monday/Tuesday take was the highest of 2025. So no, we're not looking at a failure Snyderbros.

>>149428805
he would never have the S on his chest.

>>149435666
Why not? It just stands for Superman now.

I was just looking at pictures of Supergirl and wondering why the actress looked so damn familiar then it hit me: that's the bitch from Upright. Fucking loved that show. Well, the first season. Second was only okay but that first one was fantastic. I've not watched the new Superman movie: how's her American accent? Passable? Or Ruby Rose-levels of garbage?

>>149428912
You're confused.
Black Lightning was created because Isabella and Von Eeden didn't want DC's first black superhero solo series to be about a white guy who hulks out into a superpowered black man (REAL).
Super Friends created a Black Lightning ripoff named Black Vulcan because they didn't want to pay Isabella and Von Eeden royalties.
The Legion of Superheroes are set in the year 3000. Black Lightning and the Super Friends diversity squad are modern day heroes.

>>149436590
All I got from her scene was
>cute!

>>149436702
Neat. Yeah, she's a surprisingly good actress. If you're into sob-story road trip movies/TV shows, I rec Upright. Highly. She plays a bratty underage little sister type.

>Hush
>Riddler is already an antagonist in the last film, and there isn't enough superheroes and supervillians to make it work well
huh?

>>149434238
Beautiful. Who is she?

>>149437169
Anok Yai.

>>149434798
>>149431535
I say Alexander Ludwig looks the part, too.

>>149428679
Can you imagine taking a meeting from a famous actor where he wants to pitch a movie, then he says he doesn't want to actually be in it? I'd be seething.

>>149428537
>legion of super heros
did anyone like this shit? I always thought Kara story was suppose to be story of acceptance and accept earth as her new home, even through her technology is basically shit.
