DC Universe (franchise)

The DC Universe (DCU) is an upcoming American media franchise and shared universe based on characters from DC Comics publications. It was created by James Gunn and Peter Safran, co-chairmen and co-CEOs of DC Studios.[1]

The franchise is a soft reboot of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The DCU will keep some of the cast members of the DCEU while replacing others.

The story of the DCU is divided into chapters, starting with "Gods and Monsters" which will begin in 2024 with the animated series Creature Commandos. Gunn and Safran said the chapter's first movie, Superman: Legacy (2025), to be the real beginning of the DCU.[2]

In June 2023, it was confirmed that a new Batman will appear in the universe in the movie The Brave and the Bold and that it would be directed by The Flash director Andy Muschietti.[3] This first chapter will include movies about Superman, Batman, Supergirl, The Authority and Swamp Thing.[4]
