The New DCU
Big nerdy news has just been announced and we are here to walk you through the new DCU.
Not too long ago it was revealed that the DCEU would be coming to an end and making way for a whole new era of DC entertainment. With James Gunn at the helm of this new beginning, we are sure to get some great scenes, awesome soundtracks, and deep character cuts. The co-CEO of DC studios, also announced that the movies and shows will have more connectivity, mirroring that of the MCU.
The transition will not be fully recognized until next year, but it is suggested that the upcoming Flash movie will be responsible for the hard reset. Some characters will be recast, while some actors may stay the same. Titles like the Joker sequel or the Matt Reeves Batman sequel will continue on as planned, but as Elseworld material, not to be considered canon… at least for now.
With so many moving pieces in this announcement, we will make an attempt below to clear up what will be new, what will go away, what exists in its own world, and projects that have been rumored but not confirmed.
