DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters​

Films​

Superman: Legacy​

General Synopsis: The start of the DCU but not an origin story for Superman. The film will follow the younger days of Clark Kent as he balances his crime-fighting days while also working as a journalist at the Daily Planet. James Gunn is writing the script for Superman: Legacy and Peter Safran hopes Gunn to direct as well. The director is yet to be officially decided though. Superman: Legacy will lead into the next DCU film, The Authority.

Release Date: July 11, 2025

The Authority​

General Synopsis: The second film in the DCU cinematic introduction of The Authority, a team of superheroes with a less-than-idealistic approach to saving the world. They were first introduced under the Wildstorm imprint at DC Comics in 1999 by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch. The team is mainly composed of characters from Ellis’ other team named Stormwatch. The film is currently being written by a mystery writer.

Release Date: TBA

The Brave and the Bold​

General Synopsis: A Batman film focusing on his relationship with Robin, who will be the third incarnation of the character Damien Wayne instead of dikk Grayson or Jason Todd. This will be a new iteration of Batman entirely separate from Robert Pattinson and Ben Affleck’s take on the character. The film is said to be heavily inspired by Grant Morrison’s comic run on the caped crusader as well as Tom King’s. The Brave and the Bold will lead into the next DCU film, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

Release Date: TBA

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow​

General Synopsis: The first solo film of Superman’s cousin Kara Zor-El aka Supergirl. The film will be based on Tom King’s comic run of the same name from 2021 and 2022. James Gunn describes this version of Supergirl “much more hardcore.”
