DCU General Discussion Thread

[LordTracer]

The DCEU is dead, long live the DCU!

This is a thread to discuss anything related to the new DC Universe (DCU) helmed by James Gunn and Peter Safran, which plans to feature a unified continuity across movies, TV shows, video games and animation.

Thoughts on the upcoming movies and series, fancasts, projects you might want to see, etc, anything of that sort is welcome in this thread.

With all that being said, let’s discuss!

What are your hopes for Wonder Woman's costume

 

[The_one_you_least_expect]

Nah, it’s the final DCEU movie.

I just want the classic red, blue and gold armor tbh.

I'm weirdly a fan of the New 52 design she has despite it not having the original colour scheme

Though I could see them doing something similar to one the golden age costumes for Wonder Woman

That’s fair, I like her New 52 design as well. I wouldn’t mind if that was the design they went with.

 

[Dalesean027]

Im HERE FOR IT

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

Nah, it’s the final DCEU movie.

It's a decent ending to the DCEU ngl, I'd much rather take this as the ending to the DCEU over the Flash

 

[Shadyboi0]

Cant wait to see peak

 

[CharlesZaGreat]

We're probably going to get a Justice League International Project before we get a Justice League one

Maxwell Lord - Sean Gun
Booster Gold - Uncasted (Has project in the works)
Batman - Uncasted (Has a project in the works)
Blue Beetle - Uncasted (Teased in Blue Beetle which is semi-canon)
Guy Gardner - Nathan Fillion

 

[UchihaSlayer96]

In James Gunn we trust!

(and obviously Matt Reeves for The Batman-verse)

 

[LordTracer]

Outside of Superman: Legacy, the Brave and the Bold is the DCU project I’m the most excited for, mainly because of the Batfamily.

Based on various things Gunn has said on social media, it might feature Dick as Nightwing and Cassandra as Batgirl, which is really hype.

 

[UchihaSlayer96]

Am I the only excited because of the cartoon kek?

 

[Dalesean027]

I don't think there's anything I'm not hyped for, ofc for me Superman's my most anticipated

Shouldn't be too suprising for anyone since I indexed 3 Supermen on the wiki and their most of the stuff in their verses

 

[LordTracer]

Oh, I’m gonna watch the hell out of Creature Commandos lmao

Although in terms of animation, Gunn mentioned that he’s been trying to make a Wonder Woman animated series happen, and that would be incredible.

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

I'm most nervous about how Green Lantern will be handled.

GL's public perception isn't best considering how consistently terrible they're treated in adaptations, the casting of how old Guy is is a little worrying, and James didn't drop any GL books as recommendation.

Also considering that James is seemingly going the JLI route, I don't have high hopes for Guy as Guy's best stuff comes from the Geoff Johns era and beyond imo, and Guy during the JLI era was just kind of a bitch.

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

Also concerned on how they'll handle the fights with GL, the best GL fights involve the characters using constructs in creative ways that suit their personality, instead of just shields and energy blasts.

 

[LordTracer]

Honestly, fair. I do think that putting the GLs in a TV show as opposed to a movie is a mistake since they’ll have a smaller budget and that could hinder the possibilities for their constructs.

 

[Dalesean027]

To be fair, if its got a staff on it as good as superman and lois, or titans had in their final seasons effects department then it could end up looking pretty good

 

[NHTkenshin2]

I want to see how this universe expands, and see how they draw some inspirations from the comics, maybe eventually doing a Crisis event or something similar.

Darkseid in particular is the villain I am most excited for, I genuinely think Gunn could make a pretty great live action Darkseid.

 

[Lacku]

Praying that Gunn actually gets to fully realise his vision for this universe and doesn't get it muddled by any WB nonsense.

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

Honestly, fair. I do think that putting the GLs in a TV show as opposed to a movie is a mistake since they’ll have a smaller budget and that could hinder the possibilities for their constructs.

I hope they use Sinestro to the fullest extent, top 3 villain in all DC ngl

 

[CharlesZaGreat]

Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing the JSA cast return, I really like them

Just give her blue panties back, that's all

Something similar to DCEU. I've always liked the skirt over the underpants.

Its a leotard/swimsuit, guys

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

I thought it was a panties lel, thanks for the correction
But also we are going to entering a sus chat, stop or continue?

Tom King is writing

I prefer the skirt as well, I don’t mind the leotard though.

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

I just wish that if they ever brought Zatanna, they should keep her leotard lel

Horny

Zatanna’s standard magician outfit is peak tho

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

Oof, I forgot about that.

On the one hand, he wrote peak like Darkseid War: Green Lantern, but on the hand.... He wrote Human Target...

The good thing about Lanterns is iirc the show runner of the HBO Watchmen series is going to be working on it which is great. Also I haven't read any Tom King stories yet but with how polarising his stuff is it kinda interests me (stuff like Heroes in Crisis does look really bad though icl)

 

[Lacku]

Anybody here have any fan casts for actors or even directors on upcoming projects? Me personally I'd love to see Raimi direct Brave and the Bold, not too sure who I'd pick as Batman though since Robert Pattinson was such a good cast.

 

[LordTracer]

I have two: Riley Lai Nelet as Batgirl and Milly Alcock as Supergirl.

I haven’t seen Riley in anything, but she‘s said that she wants to play Cass, and she’s almost the perfect age for the role (Cass is 17-18, Riley is currently 16).

As for Milly, she was fantastic in House of the Dragon, and I feel like she could play a good Supergirl with how Gunn has described Kara. She’s also around the right age, Kara is 21 in Woman of Tomorrow and Milly’s 23.

His stuff is pretty hit or miss imo. Tho when it hits, it really hits

 

[CharlesZaGreat]

Do you guys want to see her have curly, straight or wavy hair
