Here’s a look at all the new movies and shows coming to the DC Universe:

DCU Movies: New

Superman: Legacy

It is the only project that has a release date of July 11, 2025. Gunn wrote the script. Superman: Legacy Kal-El’s journey to reconcile his extraterrestrial heritage with his human family will be followed closely by the audience. It sounds like a reboot of 2013’s Man of Steel Zack Snyder directed the film. However, there is one thing that Zack Snyder must keep in mind: Henry Cavill will not be returning as Superman. As Gunn nears finding his leading man, expect lots of excitement and buzz.

The Authority

This superhero ensemble dates to a 1999 comic book series published under DC’s WildStorm imprint. The Authority is made up seven super heroes (one of which, Jack Hawksmoor), who are psychically connected to cities. He draws strength from these cities. The DC Universe’s first WildStorm-canon appearance will take place in this event.

The Brave and the Bold The title is an older DC Comics silver-age comic that starred Robin (and Batman) in stories that were merged with other DC Comics characters for approximately 15 years (1967-1983). From 2008 to 2011, it was the name of an animated three-season Batman cartoon series on Cartoon Network. DC Studios’ news release says “the DCU will introduce its Batman and Robin in this unusual father-son story inspired by Grant Morrison’s comic series.” That series was inspired by the animated show.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow

DC Studios says this picture, based on Tom King’s award-winning comics stories, “presents a Supergirl viewers are not used to seeing.” Truthfully, they’re not used to seeing Supergirl on a big screen at all. Her only theatrical appearance so far is 1984’s SupergirlMovie starring Helen Slater and Faye Dunaway, which stars as Kara Zor El.

Swamp Thing

Believe it or not, Swamp Thing (whose first appearance was in 1971’s House of Secrets #92) appeared in two movies back in the 1980s, the first one (1982’s Swamp ThingWes Craven is horror director. DC Studios’ lineup announcement says only that this movie “will investigate the dark origins of Swamp Thing.”

DCU Television Shows Now Available

Creature Commandos

Gunn was the series’ writer. The show has been slated for seven episodes. In it, Amanda Waller (the director of the Suicide Squad) forms another super-team out of “monstrous prisoners.”

If Creature Commandos wasn’t enough, this series dedicated to Amanda Waller stars Viola Davis in the lead role. DC Studios has announced that the series will be featuring Team Peacemaker and was written by Watchmen’s Christal Henry and Supernatural’s Jeremy Carver.

DC Comics’ longtime comic-relief character is a time traveler who uses basic technology and consumer appliances from the future to make himself a superhero in present day.

Lanterns

The Green Lantern Corps have been the galaxy’s foremost law enforcement agency since 1959, making Hal Jordan (the Silver Age Green Lantern) and John Stewart (first appearance, 1971) perfect for a buddy-cop team-up. DC Studios said it will be an “enormous TV event series” focused on the two unraveling “a dark mystery.”

Paradise Lost

It’s set in Themyscira, so you know this show will touch Wonder Woman’s history and character arc. It’s not clear if she will star in it, though. “This drama focuses on the genesis and political intrigue of an island of all women,” DC Studios said, which sounds very Game-of-Thrones-y.

Gunn, Safran and the DC Universe’s heads took control in October. They were also announced to be coequal chiefs at DC Studios. Both will be responsible for all video, TV, and game product development at the company. Gunn is likely to write and direct other projects. There will also be a few pre-DCU films released in 2023.
