Matt Fraction was a creative consultant on the show. Look after the official credits. Many comic writers were creative consultants on Marvel shows. Get your facts straight.
I’m hoping and fairly certain that the more traditional Superhero stories are what hasn’t been released yet, and that he’s just giving us tastes of the different storytelling techniques that we’ll be seeing from this point on.
I am curious about the "overall" plans for the Authority. Basically, they seem to be planned as super-powered group who have a "one track" mind/goal and will do anything to reach it, essentially Anti-Hero-esque group. Wondering if the plan is to eventually have them face off with Superman to "correct" their mindset similar to how Superman faced off with "The Elite" in DC Animated Movie? Because if you have individuals like the Authority in the same universe as a hopeful Superman, it would mean they would have ideological clashes, and not just differences of opnion.
The authority will give rise to a proper JLA for this universe in the sense that there prob isnt a JLA yet but OG heroes realisr that there needs to be
@@bellcurve0 If that is the case for the new "universe". then most likely there is no JSA pre-cursor to the JLA/JL I am hopeful that DC can finally establish a proper movie-universe (in this case interconnected universe)
but the dc fan base said james gunn was a evil man and destroyed the dcmu and remember he fired henry cavill. just saying cause i tired to defend him then and got no backing and alot of shit. funny seeing in the comments here of people happy to see james gunn here.
@@Fragrantcanary this channel (another video) and others. and why now cause now is when i watched this. i had this saved and i dont watch everything when it comes out. cant you tell that im calling people out? i really hate this its a 10 or a 1. theres nothing in the middle and calm thinking isnt what anyone does anymore. when first things come out blow it up and if it turns out to be wrong defend it likes its the world or pretend it was never said and get mad when someone calls them out. we used to call people like that snowflakes but now its the norm and thats just sad to me.
but just a few months ago he was the evil man or is the dc fan base full of 10 year olds? not saying you but i tried to argue to people to wait and that was alot of crap i caught.
I really want a Nightwing movie but I also hope in Chapter 2 that it is about magic. I want a Doctor Fate movie, Zatanna, and Etrigan. God I would be so happy if we ever get Etrigan.
Would have loved Tim Drake Over Damien but it's still pretty cool that we're getting a Robin on the big screen again and presumably the rest of the family is coming up to so we can finally get Nightwing * takes Titans behind the tool shed and shoots it*
@@brendaspence1824 The thing about Titans V3 is, they were all the leaders of their crew, and deferred to each other. That is why they have the best group friendship in comics. And that is why they'd make the best Teen Titans movie... or young justice.
"I've loved the DC characters since I was a child. They are incredibly important to me"❤️ -- I can honestly say that I believe him when he said that... These characters are important to me too.
Very excited to see how this goes, and what more there is that hasn’t been revealed. Especially looking forwards to the Green Lantern project, and maybe a Justice League Dark down the line.
Im definitely getting a big Star Wars mega-narrative vibe from this and I dig it. All the different genres and mediums working together to tell one massive saga rather than a bunch of smaller isolated stories that are only tangentially connected.
I mean it's not really a vibe, it's literally what he's tryna do, just with the concrete "if you played the character in one medium, you're playing them in every medium" (which I'll be amazed if they can actually pull off, cuz that could backfire easily)
Looking at the movies from the DCAMU, Dick Grayson was introduced in Son of Batman as Nightwing and it played off of Damien and that really worked for me. Also incredibly hyped for a Swamp Thing horror movie
@Ultimate Oreo That's a huge mistake imo. Static widely known for the television series which brought some great stories and lessons. But what made it really popular was the role he played as dc Spider-Man, and the adventures he had with batman, Superman, and the justice league.
I think once you build the league in Chapter 1. You use chapter two to show the street level characters that are inspired by the league. And Static fits that
I'm very interested to see how a fully rebooted DC universe that starts with already established characters (Batman having Damian as a Robin and All Star Super Man) is going to end up working out.
It's not fully rebooted. It's like the New 52. Most things are gone from the previous universe but there are some that will stay. James gunn said this on Twitter
I'm really hoping DC will keep with the personalities of the characters. I mean Superman was always showing the good, the positive in people while Batman showed the dirty underworld and, if one is even planned, Nightwing could fall somewhere in between.
The majority of my channel is DC related topics. As someone whose been cautious about this reboot, Gunn definitely just eased some nerves. DC and it’s pantheon of characters means to world to me like how it does for a lot of people. This presentation made it clear that it does for Gunn as well. The symbolism associated with DC is inherent to the the purpose of superheroes as a whole. There entire existence is meant to serve as a narrative device to spread messages of hope, growth, optimism, and friendship first and foremost before other typical narrative themes and tropes make their way into these characters stories. CBM in general over the decade have shunned away from these ideals, using them sparingly, but never fully embracing them. With the excuse always being, it won’t work for live action, or, it’s to goofy and unbelievable. Or my favorite one, DC heroes are to much like Gods to make it work. Gunn has me hopeful that finally someone will embrace what makes DC great, and give us a version of the DCU that’s worthwhile and meaningful.
I have suspicions he's building towards Justice League Dark in some form. He said there are other Chapter 1 titles he can't reveal yet because they give too much away. I think Swamp Things gets us Constantine and we have JL Dark by the end of Chapter 1
They may be planning to have the HBO Max shows air during 2024. EDIT: Also, since they're bringing in Xolo Mariduena, who got to shine as Miguel in Cobra Kai, I think casting Tanner Buchanan as Booster Gold would be a good fit. The two of them had great chemistry on Cobra Kai, where Tanner played Miguel's rival Robbie Keene.
This makes me hopeful. I love DC and Marvel. Having both of them pushing quality content into theaters/streaming just makes the other step its game up. They are at their best when they have the other to compete with at the top of the market.
I'm really loving that this new DCU/DCCU/DCEU/Whatever the f*dge is starting in the middle of the characters' stories instead of being complete origins for everybody. I never really cared for reboots saying that no superheroes ever existed at all until THE EXACT YEAR the movies premiered.
A jaded Supergirl? The Lanterns? Maybe we’ll see Red Lantern Supergirl, the emergence of the spectrums with an overall build towards the Blackest Night/Brightest Day? Sure they could navigate that with some changes……
Not gonna lie, I was a MCU light fanboy and dodged the DCU films until Gunn's first one like the plague. This is THE move WB needed to do to set up hope. I'll see the first movie after flash with fingers crossed
the argument for doing a straight comic to screen movie is that there are creatives involved. script writers, directors, actors, cgi artists, it goes on, that also want to feel like they are true to themselves and show some artistry. sometimes that deviates a story. who signs onto a movie generally as a director to be told, this is how the story will be and what it will look like. no deviations. good luck
After the guardians chose Guy Gardner to replace Hal Jordan, Hal Jordan choose John Stewart to replace Guy Gardner and take Hal Jordan's place if anything happens to him. Kyle Rayner ended up taking up Hal Jordan's place while John Stewart protected earth. Apparently, in the animated series, Kyle Rayner was supposed to be fighting Parallax Hal Jordan later on in the show, but the story was scrapped after the comic fans' complaints. With that in mind... I believe it would've been awesome if Hal Jordan Parallax was a result of loosing his BFF Barry Allen rebooting the universe, especially if he was the only person that could remember the crisis event and remember his sacrifice. It would've been a great explanation for why Wally West was the only flash in the JLU series of his own universe. Could you imagine having to deal with asking for help from people that could never understand what you've had to endure?
I'm cautiously optomistic I like the whole Gods and Monsters theme and I'm excited for most of these films, however, it seems like Gunn's playing favorites on what can be kept or not, and as a Dc Comics fan, it reminds me a lot of the New 52 and how they handled continuity and it's possible that this might fall down a similar rabbit hole
32:09 I agree that not every superhero movie needs a 200 million dollar budget. If Michael Bay can make 3 movies under 50 million (Pain and Gain 30 million, 13 hours 50 million, ambulance 45 million) so can DC!
wait, so when he says the lanterns mystery will tie in to the dcu overall story, he means the big story for dcu is blackest night right?? he never mentioned any other property was tying into the overall story, just connect to the same universe. can we fan cast batista as black hand?
The only thing I wished James Gunn changed was for the Green Lantern show to be a movie. Also have Dick Grayson be the Robin of the DCU, but other than that, I'm excited.
I love everything except that he’s going to reset batman again. I thought the batman was a perfect movie and would have been great to include in the dcu.
@@_Antijosh_ He’s more *important* as Robin and the first Robin since he started the “Batfamily” being the first in technically and taught Bruce how to trust others more but is generally more *popular* as Nightwing so don’t get things twisted. He’s arguably the most important Robin only competing with Tim Drake. Big DC fan here… so many comics yell this at us besides certain trash elseworlds like White knight.
Here we go DC take over by James Gunn. Sounds good but finally a Robin in Batman movie. And wish they did someone different then Swamp Thing like Zantana.
9:45 i agree 100% , jumping to the last one takes away the possibility of us loving the characters and there character development. Like it would've been nice to see jason todd first before turning into red hood, would've nice to see Batman train Dick Grayson etc, would've been nice to see Dick Graysons evolution and turning into Night wing, thats the best way to tell a story. I dislike doing the "mcu black widow " approach which is have the events happen and then later on go back and do an origins story . The universe is better off doing it in that order
To play Devil's advocate, the only thing that makes me nervous is the whole "have actors play their roles in different mediums"-thing. It's ambitious and leads to cohesion. I'm just afraid that real life has shown us that you can't predict what actors are going to do or what's going to happen to them. Obviously, the quick fix is to have an understudy in case. Other than that, expecting good things.
I was going to read the article but then I was like nah...I will just wait for Sal & Benny to release a video on it, then like 2 minutes later I got at notification for this video. Thanks guys. 👍🏻😃
This is going to come down to the availability of anything that isn't released in cinema. DC shows and animated movies release late & are often spread over multiple services in the UK.
The Batman I would do with this is that yes it’s Batman and Damien, but he’s got nightwing, batgirl, and Red Robin. But not red hood, the sequel or the third movie would be under the red hood…you could even have nightwing getting attacked at the end of his movie which directly leads into under the red hood
Well he talks a decent game. And he seems legit excited to make this happen. But a lot of the directions they've chosen to go in are kind of a mixed bag for me. My reaction was kinda like: All star Superman? Awesome! Green lantern? Cool. Damien? Hmm ok. The authority? Uh who are, or wtf is the authority? But like most things, it will come down to execution. The proof will be in the proverbial pudding as they say. Hopefully we'll finally get the DC universe we either need, want or deserve or whatever lol
random heroes and shit can be great though, guardians of the galaxy were relatively unknown before james gunn made a live action of it, he could probably do the same with the authority
How crazy would it be if the mystery uncovered in the GL show was that a new god was found dead in a dumpster? A heavy Morrison presence, Batman and Son, imagine if one of the sequels is Batman:R.I.P. and then Justice league: first Crisis. But it’s really just Gunns version of Final crisis
Im super hype for this so far but I do think that some of the gods and monsters projects that they « can’t talk about » will be a Wonder Woman, Flash, and Justice League movie
13:27 I hate to throw cold water on the party, but did you guys forget that comics and movies are two DIFFERENT storytelling mediums? Of course the Supergirl movie is gonna be an adaptation of the comic, because it has to be. The reason he didn’t say the word adaptation is because it goes without saying. Also, if you wanna see the same Supergirl story, just read the book again. It’s all already there. The reason we like to see movies adapted from our favorite stories is because it puts a different spin on the story that we didn’t get from the comic. If it’s just the same story again but told in a different medium, it’s boring because we already got that story
Here’s my problem…Gunn was brought in to give the BIG MAINLINE characters their due because they HAVENT been given their justice on screen yet. I’m all for more niche projects like this once the universe is ALREADY established. World build first. Build the justice league and the world around it before you give me a damn show about Frankenstein and his bride working with Rick Flag SR and Weasal…and the Authority is not the SECOND movie you make in the creation of your new universe. You bring them in later on if you want. I was worried about this. I understand the happiness that they have an actual solid direction and plan, and I also really like that they’re clearly taking DIRECTLY from specific comic runs. But that was the literal floor for what I was expecting. Zaslav was quoted as saying that they were going to make damn sure that the big tent pole characters would be fleshed out first. They would be taken care of first. Before they even think about doing lesser known characters. I just don’t understand these choices. Wonder Woman prequel without Wonder Woman? Booster Gold given his own entire tv show before we get anything from the hawk family or JL Dark/Fate or before the Teen Titans or before any Speedforce characters. I’m literally only excited for Lanterns Superman and brace and bold but even with Batman I’m really upset that we’re just going to skip like 8-10 years of Bat family life and relationships with dick Barbara tim and Jason. Also, he won’t be close to the same age as Superman. On one hand I’m happy on the other hand I was hoping for something completely different and that he wouldn’t pull a James Gunn and do more with unknown characters than known characters.
So one big thing not really mentioned is he mentions team peacemaker when talking about Amanda waller. So that's keeping suicide squad and peacemaker's universe going
It means there will be aspects of the timeline that survive the reset from The Flash, meaning that things will still change, but he'll likely keep as much of that same crew as he can (while also reshuffling bits of it because it's not gunna be exactly the same/it's still s new timeline).
It seems like they are focusing on stories regardless of how popular the character is. "if we can make a good story, let's do it". Opposed to "who can make money". I'm all God James Gunn
I think it would be a really good idea for direct comic adaptations (if possible) for the writers of the comics to have some involvement such as Tom king having some involvement for Super-Girl Woman Of Tomorrow what does everyone else think?
I mean I honestly think the bigger question is the fact if Ezra Miller is still going to be the Flash after the reboot I mean if anyone truly deserves to get kicked out it’s Ezra Miller
I agree. Honestly the DCU should just be referred as the term for any DC Universe stuff. Like how Marvel Universe is referred to Marvel's side of things, like if you say Thor from the Marvel Universe and Thor from the norse mythology, we'd instantly notice the differences between Marvel's Thor and mythology Thor. I hope they come up with a better name for Gunn and Safran's universe. Something like DC All-Star Universe or DC Rebirth Universe, or anything that can remotely set the comics and Gunn and Safran's DC films/shows/games apart.
@@TheSpeedMason it seems like DCU is the name they are going with but I mean why is comic Batman under the same name to the brave and the bold Batman movie but aren’t connected at all
I would never have believed Benny wouldn’t even get to see Gunn’s Superman. Sending so much love to you buddy.
It's really sad that he wont even see any project from this slate. I hope his family is doing well.

Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow is my favorite comic book and I never thought theyd actually try to adapt it. So excited and scared I hope its good

The Elite were actually based off of The Authority and Superman’s version of The Authority he formed recently included Manchester Black

Like it would've been nice to see jason todd first before turning into red hood, would've nice to see Batman train Dick Grayson etc, would've been nice to see Dick Graysons evolution and turning into Night wing, thats the best way to tell a story.
I dislike doing the "mcu black widow " approach which is have the events happen and then later on go back and do an origins story . The universe is better off doing it in that order
This gets me hopeful that they might turn Tom king's Mister miracle into a movie. Like what there doing with Supergirl.
1:21 I think that he used Teen Titans Go as an example for animation
Talk about job security. I need to get back into acting
I hope they do Supergirl and that story justice.
To play Devil's advocate, the only thing that makes me nervous is the whole "have actors play their roles in different mediums"-thing. It's ambitious and leads to cohesion. I'm just afraid that real life has shown us that you can't predict what actors are going to do or what's going to happen to them. Obviously, the quick fix is to have an understudy in case. Other than that, expecting good things.
I was going to read the article but then I was like nah...I will just wait for Sal & Benny to release a video on it, then like 2 minutes later I got at notification for this video. Thanks guys. 👍🏻😃
Finally Robin!
I'm most excited for the Authority movie. The rest I will hope for the best.
This is going to come down to the availability of anything that isn't released in cinema. DC shows and animated movies release late & are often spread over multiple services in the UK.
Swamp Thing! Hopefully they’ll do Rotworld or some storyline with the Parliaments
If Batman already have Damien on his side that makes his age 40-50 and meeting young Superman that don’t make sense
I love Dan and Benny. You can tell they homies for life
I'm most excited for The Authority.
The Batman I would do with this is that yes it’s Batman and Damien, but he’s got nightwing, batgirl, and Red Robin. But not red hood, the sequel or the third movie would be under the red hood…you could even have nightwing getting attacked at the end of his movie which directly leads into under the red hood
Well he talks a decent game. And he seems legit excited to make this happen. But a lot of the directions they've chosen to go in are kind of a mixed bag for me. My reaction was kinda like:
All star Superman? Awesome!
Green lantern? Cool.
Damien? Hmm ok.
The authority? Uh who are, or wtf is the authority?
But like most things, it will come down to execution. The proof will be in the proverbial pudding as they say. Hopefully we'll finally get the DC universe we either need, want or deserve or whatever lol
random heroes and shit can be great though, guardians of the galaxy were relatively unknown before james gunn made a live action of it, he could probably do the same with the authority
I was excited for this videos as soon as I saw his video…. ah the age of consumption
God I can't wait for the Snyder fanboy crowd to slowly become quieter and quieter until they disappear entirely.
Will James Wan be able to get a second shot at Swamp Thing? I loved the tv show but it got canceled because of the budget/cost.
For the first time I'm excited for the future of the DCU.
there is an animated movie Justice League: Gods and Monsters.
I wait for the lantern show
I've been waiting for years for y'all to cover the authority
Black Adam was a success. Remember that Black Adam was not a known character to most people outside of comic fans.
I want Dick as Batman and Damian as Robin
How crazy would it be if the mystery uncovered in the GL show was that a new god was found dead in a dumpster? A heavy Morrison presence, Batman and Son, imagine if one of the sequels is Batman:R.I.P. and then Justice league: first Crisis. But it’s really just Gunns version of Final crisis
That's a lot for your first justice league movie in this universe. Need to stay from the new gods as long as possible
Im super hype for this so far but I do think that some of the gods and monsters projects that they « can’t talk about » will be a Wonder Woman, Flash, and Justice League movie
13:27 I hate to throw cold water on the party, but did you guys forget that comics and movies are two DIFFERENT storytelling mediums? Of course the Supergirl movie is gonna be an adaptation of the comic, because it has to be. The reason he didn’t say the word adaptation is because it goes without saying. Also, if you wanna see the same Supergirl story, just read the book again. It’s all already there. The reason we like to see movies adapted from our favorite stories is because it puts a different spin on the story that we didn’t get from the comic. If it’s just the same story again but told in a different medium, it’s boring because we already got that story
Not for the general audience
I was surprised to hear they are going to use Damien Wayne!
Here’s my problem…Gunn was brought in to give the BIG MAINLINE characters their due because they HAVENT been given their justice on screen yet. I’m all for more niche projects like this once the universe is ALREADY established. World build first. Build the justice league and the world around it before you give me a damn show about Frankenstein and his bride working with Rick Flag SR and Weasal…and the Authority is not the SECOND movie you make in the creation of your new universe. You bring them in later on if you want. I was worried about this. I understand the happiness that they have an actual solid direction and plan, and I also really like that they’re clearly taking DIRECTLY from specific comic runs. But that was the literal floor for what I was expecting. Zaslav was quoted as saying that they were going to make damn sure that the big tent pole characters would be fleshed out first. They would be taken care of first. Before they even think about doing lesser known characters. I just don’t understand these choices. Wonder Woman prequel without Wonder Woman? Booster Gold given his own entire tv show before we get anything from the hawk family or JL Dark/Fate or before the Teen Titans or before any Speedforce characters. I’m literally only excited for Lanterns Superman and brace and bold but even with Batman I’m really upset that we’re just going to skip like 8-10 years of Bat family life and relationships with dick Barbara tim and Jason. Also, he won’t be close to the same age as Superman. On one hand I’m happy on the other hand I was hoping for something completely different and that he wouldn’t pull a James Gunn and do more with unknown characters than known characters.
So one big thing not really mentioned is he mentions team peacemaker when talking about Amanda waller. So that's keeping suicide squad and peacemaker's universe going
It means there will be aspects of the timeline that survive the reset from The Flash, meaning that things will still change, but he'll likely keep as much of that same crew as he can (while also reshuffling bits of it because it's not gunna be exactly the same/it's still s new timeline).
It seems like they are focusing on stories regardless of how popular the character is. "if we can make a good story, let's do it". Opposed to "who can make money".
I'm all God James Gunn
It's time boys, I predict the man: James Gunn himself will be on this show or with comic poppa sooner then naught!
I think it would be a really good idea for direct comic adaptations (if possible) for the writers of the comics to have some involvement such as Tom king having some involvement for Super-Girl Woman Of Tomorrow what does everyone else think?
I think that we could get man bat or killer knock as the villain in brave and the bold
What about Margot Robbie as Harley? I hope she gets another movie or shows up again somewhere
I’m assuming she still is considering viola Davis is still playing Amanda Waller!
@@charlomlttegzn said that the suicide squad and the peacmaker show will be part of the dceu
I mean I honestly think the bigger question is the fact if Ezra Miller is still going to be the Flash after the reboot I mean if anyone truly deserves to get kicked out it’s Ezra Miller
Makes sense why Gunn is taking a lot from Morrison, James went to morrisoncon like 10 years ago and seem like they have a colleague type relationship
I’m confused as to why the comics are under the same named brand “The DCU” as the movies/shows and games but are not connected
I agree. Honestly the DCU should just be referred as the term for any DC Universe stuff. Like how Marvel Universe is referred to Marvel's side of things, like if you say Thor from the Marvel Universe and Thor from the norse mythology, we'd instantly notice the differences between Marvel's Thor and mythology Thor. I hope they come up with a better name for Gunn and Safran's universe. Something like DC All-Star Universe or DC Rebirth Universe, or anything that can remotely set the comics and Gunn and Safran's DC films/shows/games apart.
@@TheSpeedMason it seems like DCU is the name they are going with but I mean why is comic Batman under the same name to the brave and the bold Batman movie but aren’t connected at all
Crazy this year we have more dc movies than mcu movies.
Even when I was a kid I didn’t like Teen Titans Go. But that might be because I also kinda grew up with the OG Teen Titans. 1:32
For a second i thought David Beckham was a part of this channel lol
Supergirl joke made me laugh out loud.
