Set to open on July 11, 2025, “Superman: Legacy” will mark “the start of the DCU,” according to Peter Safran, but it will not be an origin story of the proverbial Man of Steel.

to continue playing their respective DC superheroes of Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Flash and Shazam, but Gunn reiterated that Henry Cavill will not continue as Superman. Otherwise, the execs said, they will be casting new actors in the roles.

“It focuses on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing,” Safran said. “He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way. He is kindness in a world that thinks of kindness as old-fashioned.” Gunn spoke at some length about “The Authority,” a project he said he’s “really excited” to bring to life. The characters come from Wildstorm, which was launched in 1992 as an independent entity under current DC Comics chief Jim Lee and ultimately made an imprint of DC. The Wildstorm characters were later folded into the main DC comics universe when the company rebooted its continuity with the New 52 initiative in 2011.

Along with introducing the DCU’s version of Batman — who will exist separately from the version played by Robert Pattinson in “The Batman” movies — “The Brave and the Bold” will introduce “the Bat family,” Gunn said. First among them is Robin, who is returning fully to live-action movies for the first time since 1997’s ill-fated feature “Batman and Robin.”

“We see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he’s an infant, versus Supergirl, who was raised on a rock chip off of Krypton, and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life.” Animation, Gunn said, allows their creative collaborators to “tell stories that are gigantic, but without spending, you now, $50 million an episode.”

As long as they keep David Goyer and Akiva Goldman out of it especially Goyer. Tired of Goyer being like the only writer DC went to even though he sucks

Didnt they also write Fantastic Four 2015, Birds of prey and Batgirl? Which safran bascially called disgusting?

Drew Goddard’s Daredevil series was God-tier, and hopefully Tom King’s involvement means Ava’s “NEW GODS” gets revived!

Cool cool but missed opportunity not calling it WallerVision
