>I don’t think Zaslav “orders” Gunn to make projects, as he retains his independence for the DCU, but given the reception of Superman, it’s not a huge surprise he’d want to return to the character rather than putting him on ice in favor of a number of other heroes the DCU needs to introduce. The DCU will still do that, of course, but with Superman back for more than just a cameo, and with Supergirl and Krypto in tow.
