Even though its name alludes to its original version, this particular movie will not be an origin story, but somehow it will mainly focus on Clark’s tremendous struggle to find a balance between his superhero life and his human one. Moreover, to make it more appealing, the story will also demonstrate superman being an epitome of a beacon of kindness in a world that believes kindness is antiquated.
- The Authority
James Gunn is the most versatile and powerful paradigm of being a filmmaker and throughout his career, he has been pretty much occupied with his passion. So he is in a way of outlining this particular movie, and the movie will be loosely based on Wildstorm characters. So as per sources, this live-action movie in the DC universe would explicitly explore the good qualities and intentions of antiheroes, and explain the reason to have to go to extremes due to how broken the world is.
- The Brave and the Bold
This distinguished movie would be a Batman and Robin story. But a new riveting star would be set to play the Dark Knight. So as we understood, Robert Pattinson and Ben Affleck will not be starring in this single movie.
As already stated this movie is based on Grant Morrison’s Batman run, the plot would see Bruce realizing that his son is none other than Damian Wayne. Moreover, we could see other members of the Bat family in this movie. But who will be the leading stars in this movie has not been decided yet or they have not revealed anything about it.
- Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow
Since Tom King is also one of the architects of the movie, this movie will be loosely based on his recent DC run, and the Girl of steel would get her first solo movie, which could be a great exposure to her career in the upcoming years.
- Swamp Thing
The DC universe is persistently working on this movie that indeed explores the dark origin story of Swamp Thing and would come up with a totally different medley of feats.
The List of Television shows
- Creature Commandos

- Waller
The Amanda Waller spinoff series would be streaming in the upcoming year and luckily Viola Davis would be the leading star, and this riveting show will trace its origin between Peacemaker seasons 1 and 2. This sort of approach to this television series is that James Gunn is already occupied with several other projects. This series would be headed by Jeremy Carver and Christal Henry.
- Lanterns
Some facts about this television series are pretty obscure, but most probably it will focus on Hal Jordan and Jon Stewart. As per DC, this show would be kind of a detective mystery with the Green Lanterns serving as super cops on the limits of the earth, and this show will lead us to an overall ancient horror.
- Paradise Lost
This particular show would be the definite prequel to Wonder Woman and will follow the style of Games of Thrones. This television show focuses on the origin of Themyscira before Diana Prince’s time and thus explores the political game that would be played in Themyscira in order to gain power, and what a society of women does.
