Superman, Batman and Swamp Thing to anchor DC's revamped movie and TV slate

LOS ANGELES : Stories about Batman and his assassin son, a new Superman tale and Swamp Thing are set to hit the big screen as part of an ambitious 10-year plan to reinvigorate DC Studios under new owner Warner Bros Discovery.

Gunn and DC Studios co-chairman Peter Safran on Monday unveiled a Marvel Cinematic Universe-inspired plan to tell a single story that unfolds over eight to 10 years, through 10 upcoming film and TV projects. Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav is hoping to reap the financial rewards of a reinvigorated DC franchise. The media company's shares have fallen 43 per cent in the past year as the company aims to deliver $3 billion in savings from combining Warner Media and Discovery Communications.

Writer Ta-Nehisi Coates also is working on a script for"Superman" in which a Black actor portrays the Man of Steel, as a DC Elseworlds project. "Lanterns," an eight-hour detective series, is scheduled to stream on HBO Max. Other TV projects include"Waller," with Viola Davis reprising her"Suicide Squad" role as Amanda Waller, and"Paradise Lost," the origin story of Themyscira, the island where Wonder Woman was born.
