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[...]

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.

As for what members of the "Super-Family" we could expect to see in "Legacy" or somewhere else in the DCU, noted cat lover Gunn was asked if Streaky the Supercat (created by Jerry Siegel & Jim Mooney and debuting in 1960's Action Comics #261) would be appearing in his & DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran's[...]

During the last go-around, Gunn was defending the size of the "Legacy" cast and pushed back on what he described as "cameo porn." This time around, the focus is on Gunn & DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran's overall new DCU.

Earlier today, reports hit that DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn & Peter Safran had found their Maxwell Lord in Sean Gunn (Marvel Studios' "Guardians of the Galaxy" films) Created by Keith Giffen, J M DeMatteis & Kevin Maguire, the character first debuted in 1987's Justice League #1 in a vastly different way than where the character would[...]

Over the weekend, we speculated about whether or not January 31, 2024, will bring a day's worth of big updates on "Chapter 1 – Gods and Monsters," DC Studios co-CEOs/co-chairmen James Gunn & Peter Safran's first programming slate for their vision of a new DCU (more on that in a minute) On the film side, we[...]

And guess who should be really excited to hear that the ground-breaking will kick off in 2024, with 2027 eyed for completion?

A report on the casting process behind DC Studios & James Gunn's Superman: Legacy has us wondering about The Authority and other DCU heroes.

The best way to tell just how big of a business bulls*** clickbait & shady "source reporting" has become when it comes to DC Studios' James Gunn & Peter Safran is knowing that there's an entire side business being built off of cutting through, countering & (sometimes) mocking the nonsense that's out there But if[...]

A week after announcing he would direct Superman: Legacy, James Gunn was back on Twitter graciously knocking down another casting rumor.

Like, maybe that's the time frame when Snyderbros transcend their physical forms and truly become one with the Snyderverse? Maybe that's when Snyder will formally declare that the Snyderverse is officially seceding and becoming its own island nation? Maybe that's when there will be an epic "rock, paper, scissors" face-off between Snyder and DC Studios'[...]
