When it comes to DC Studios Co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran's New DCU, Frank Grillo has been having a pretty good month so far Portraying Rick Flag, Sr., Grillo got a chance to clean up some recording work for the upcoming animated series Creature Commandos Then came the big news that Flag, Sr would[...]

Notably, writer Tom King has been James Gunn's comic book go-to guy, reading the new Superman film script and writing the Supergirl movie So what better Superman comic to reference, as well as All-Star Superman, than Superman: Up In The Sky?

Earlier this week, we had two big developments in terms of DC Studios Co-CEOs James Gunn & Peter Safran's upcoming adaptation of writer J M DeMatteis & artist Pat Broderick's Creature Commandos First up, we learned that Frank Grillo's Rick Flag, Sr would be making the jump from the animated screen to live-action during the second[...]

Seen as the DCU's deep dive into comedy, DC Studios Co-CEO Peter Safran described legendary comic book writer & artist Dan Jurgens's Mike Carter/Booster Gold as "a loser from the future who uses basic future technology to come back to today and pretend to be a superhero" when he and Co-CEO James Gunn rolled out[...]

Though DC Studios Co-CEOs James Gunn & Peter Safran's upcoming adaptation of writer J M DeMatteis & artist Pat Broderick's Creature Commandos won't be hitting screens until later this year, attendees of this year's Annecy International Animation Film Festival (June 9-15) will be getting an early look at the animated series and what went into bringing[...]

Earlier this week, Superman & Peacemaker writer/director James Gunn released an official look at David Corenswet's The Man of Steel is his official costume – with spit curl and red trunks But now it's back to work for Gunn – but even when you're working, that doesn't mean that there isn't time for some very[...]

Yesterday, Bleeding Cool looked at how a post by James Gunn about the new Superman movie was driving sales on eBay of DC One Million #1 from 1999, up to $12, featuring the first appearance of Solaris, The Tyrant Sun Well, it has also blown up the sales of the DC One Million Omnibus which[...]

Basically, a copy was selling on eBay around once every couple of weeks. Image: DC Studios Then James Gunn dropped this image The background seemed to show Solaris, The Sun Tyrant, attacking Metropolis, Solaris first appeared in DC One Million #1 by Grant Morrison and Val Semeiks, and then appearing in All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison and[...]

You've been asking for it – and now, here it is. Superman writer/director James Gunn released an official look at David Corenswet's Superman in his official The Man of Steel costume Here's a look at a screencap from Gunn's Threads account displaying the look (yes, we have red trunks) followed by Gunn's Instagram post: Image: Threads Screencap UPDATE: We[...]

Last week, Superman & Peacemaker writer/director James Gunn tackled a concern that some folks had over The Man of Steel's film shoot running "only" 5-6 months – believing that it's too short and leading them to worry that the film will rely heavily on CGI effects as opposed to practical effects Gunn responded by making it[...]

And yet, I didn't see anything specifically from James Gunn, Peter Safran, or DC Studios about the matter – and it has been bugging the s**t out of me. Another anniversary that's coming up is the one-year anniversary of when we addressed an editorial to Gunn & Safran about how they can avoid repeating Marvel's past[...]

If you're Superman writer/director James Gunn, that fact has two very important meanings First, as a comic book fan, Holt's Mr Terrific has proven himself to be a major foundational character and big-time player in the DCU, so there's a lot to celebrate there As a filmmaker, there's an appreciation considering Edi Gathegi (X-Men: First Class)[...]

On Monday, it was Superman writer/director James Gunn debunking some whackjob conspiracy theory involving Nathan Fillion misspeaking and some Snyder-folks who can't shake their "The Man of Steel"/Henry Cavill obsession But today is a new day, and with that new day comes yet another "concern" out of left field Apparently, some folks think that the film's 5-6[...]

Last week, we covered what Nathan Fillion had to share about playing Green Lantern Guy Gardner in writer/director James Gunn's Superman – when a misspeak on Fillion's part blew up into a conspiracy theory that Gunn addressed on social media over the weekend During an interview, Fillion shared how he learned that he would be playing[...]

We know that James Gunn is busy with Superman and Peacemaker Season 2 – but we also know that DC Studios has a number of other "Chapter 1 – Gods and Monsters" projects in development that we could be hearing about sooner rather than later Based on what Gunn posted earlier today, could Lanterns be[...]

One of the best ways that DC Studios CEOs James Gunn & Peter Safran could show their commitment to animation was to have their New DCU kick off with their series take on writer J M DeMatteis & artist Pat Broderick's Creature Commandos And it's a good thing that it's set to hit later this year[...]

Yesterday, we had a chance to hear what Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl) had to share about writer/director James Gunn's Superman – specifically, how excited she is to work with Nathan Fillion (Green Lantern Guy Gardner) and Edi Gathegi (Mister Terrific) For this go-around, we're getting to hear from one of the two people Merced is excited about[...]

After learning from series creator James Gunn that three directors will be joining him on the filming of the second season of Max's John Cena-starring Peacemaker, we're getting a chance to jump from the business/production side of things to something much more personal (and a lot more fun) In case you didn't know, today is Cena's birthday[...]

As much as we always appreciate getting updates on DC Studios' Superman from writer/director James Gunn, it's also nice getting to hear from the rest of the cast – especially the way they try to walk that fine line between informative and spoiler Earlier today, we had a chance to check in with Isabela Merced[...]

Along with filming continuing on the upcoming DC Studios feature film, Superman writer/director James Gunn and leads David Corenswet (Superman/Clark Kent) & Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane) celebrated the 86th anniversary of the first appearance of the character – in 1938's Action Comics #1 from writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster In that vein, that could[...]

We think we can all agree that James Gunn is very busy When he's not co-running DC Studios with Peter Safran and crafting a New DCU, he's writing & directing the Superman feature film, starting work on the second season of Max's Peacemaker, and making sure that the animated series Creature Commandos makes it to[...]

After getting a chance to check out Superman writer/director James Gunn and leads David Corenswet (Superman/Clark Kent) and Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane) celebrating Superman Day by catching up on some reading, we're back to the daily updates from Gunn about the going-on on the set Let's be clear right up front, okay? If you're looking for[...]

With today being the 86th anniversary of the first appearance of Superman (1938's Action Comics #1 from writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster), what better day than today for Superman writer/director James Gunn and leads David Corenswet (Superman/Clark Kent) and Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane) to celebrate the special occasion? That's exactly what we got,[...]

While we could definitely spend an entire article discussing how Grant Gustin's Barry Allen was disrespected by his total lack of involvement in Ezra Miller-starring The Flash (we've already gone on record with our feelings on how Gustin was treated in the whole deal), in terms of James Gunn & Peter Safran's DC Studios, Gunn has always[...]
