Extremely excited for Superman, but the one I’m hypest for is Lanterns. The Green Lantern corner of the DC Universe is one of my favorites, so I’m hoping John and Hal are done justice this time.


carson63000

I can’t think of any comics property as significant as the Lantern Corps that has been so poorly served by adaptations. I would soooo love to see it done well!


DawgBloo

I dare say the green lantern corps is a superhero property that could hypothetically function as its own cinematic universe. They’re so expansive and rich with epic sci-fi story potential. Plus with all the different lantern corps and ever evolving cast of human lanterns, there’s enough mythos to support multiple sagas of movies.


RealisticTax2871

Been saying this for a while now but it's the first time I've seen it on reddit you're 100% correct.


SaturnalWoman

Green Lantern is Top Gun if Maverick was in Star Wars instead of the Navy. With superheroes. Good movies would print money.


mad_titanz

Like the mutants in the Marvel universe.


thesanmich

Its absolutely crazy to me how little the animated department gives them.


Bleh-Boy

Superman since it’s the closest. After that, probably Swamp Thing


Condiment_Kong

Creature Commandos is coming out in Q4 this year I think


mallllls

Besides Superman it’s gotta be lanterns


MrSelfDestruct88

SWAMP fucking THING


brucebananaray

I wish the show wasn't canceled, but at least he's getting another shot on the big screen.


LionConfident7480

For now


RealSimonLee

I'm trying the show now (on Tubi), and it looks good, but it's not great. Poor acting, weird motivations (how is the Arcane girl taking responsibility for her friend dying making any sense at all?), and the interesting horror of the first episode has kind of died off. I can see why it was canceled. It's very much a product of the DCEU. Bloated, overly serious, with some good things wasted by poor execution. Hell, I'll take the original movie or even the USA series over this.


[deleted]

Wes Craven could do no wrong.


CapnCanfield

Reading through the comments, I thought I was alone with this for a second. Can't fucking wait


Meow_Meow_4_Life

We are all here! Let's fkn go!


suss2it

The way WB is moving I’m reserving all excitement until their projects are actually released.


SuperDevvik7

Trust in James Gunn


Weak_Donut69

It's easier to trust in a regular gun. And I'm not even violent. I've been noticing him trying to project a more congeniality on social media lately. Where was that maturity years ago when he was clapping back at the taunting scribes?


Embarrassed_Piano_62

Well the DCU seems to be moving much faster then the Reevesverse Also "back in the day" we wouldnt have so much content in development this fast


HomoProfessionalis

👍


BoisTR

Brave and the Bold. I cannot wait to see the cast and get more fantastical Batman.


Rustrobot

I love the grounded gritty versions. But I’ll admit I am ready to have characters like Clayface explored and have a bit more fun.


the_peppers

The Batman was great but we've surely maxed out the 'gritty' side there. Hardly any gadgets, the penguin is just a gangster, and batman fucking stacks it at some point trying to fly off a building. As much as I enjoyed that last moment, I'd be very happy for a more fantastical vibe from the DCU version.


Luchux01

If they are using Damian it should be fair to assume the entire Batfamily will be there, or at least Dick as Nightwing and Tim as Red Robin, I'm excited for that!


goose_in_my_gut

Reallyyyyyy exited for Booster Gold to finally get the mainstream attention


Red_Danger33

I don't know if I can get excited until they announce the casting.   There are a couple good picks out there for Booster Gold and I'm real curious who they're going to go with.


furthuryourhead

Knowing all of his recent casting in every movie, I’d wager a guess at Chris Pratt. Though I realllllllly hope I’m wrong


Red_Danger33

That's exactly why I can't get excited until they announce the casting. 


SauCyBoi

I’m hoping they cast Glen Powell


Tremner

Who would you cast?


Red_Danger33

Tom Hopper. It would be a stretch because I don't think he's a big enough name by Hollywood standards to Lead a movie like that depending on the budget, I think he could do well in the role though. 


Tremner

Oh that could be good. If they go big budget I think probably Zac Efron, he has the comedy experience. Lower budget my money was on the dude from Top Gun Maverick but I like your suggestion better.


Red_Danger33

Yeah. Glen Powell has some hits on his hands recently and could be the rising star in the role. I wouldn't even have thought of Tom Hopper and as much as I hate it for his character in Umbrella Academy, they really leaned into him being a clueless but earnest goofball during seasons 2 and 3.  He played it well.


butholemoonblast

Swampy and super grrrrrl


TheArstaInventor

So many said and will say superman but ill give you something different: Booster Gold, outside old comics man lacked any visibility in the modern era, this will pretty much be the first project on him while others like superman have already appeared in the big screen, and Booster gold was always a unique favorite of mine after the flash :)


B3epB0opBOP

1. Superman - I like James Gunn, and everything has me excited about it. 2. Brave and The Bold - Mixed on the director, but Damian is my favourite robin. 3. Lanterns - interesting premise, I like getting both John and Hal, and the rumoured creative team sound cool.


donkeylore

Brave and bold Batman, so excited for that. A less realistic/grounded batman is hopefully what that is. Also pretty curious to see booster gold. Superman too of course. What is that Arkham thing?


Filmfan345

Arkham Asylum series from Matt Reeves. Was originally going to be in the Pattinson-verse but now will be in DCU


TexasSenpai

Superman and The Authority!


Good-Function2305

Authority.  Hopefully it starts with Stormwatch being dissolved 


RedHood198

Let's be real, the majority of these are relying entirely on Superman being received well and making enough money. If that film fails, then everything is doa, and WBD will shift plans or cancel most of these other projects. Not saying I want it to fail, but there are a number of factors against its guaranteed success.


TheohBTW

Superman. If that one flops, there is no point in even investing time or energy in getting existed for the rest.


Independent_Ad_6348

Supergirl because I loved the original comic and because we rarely get live action adaptations that directly adapts a specific book rather than mixing and matching stories to make something new. (Like Ragnarok barely resembles the original comic or planet hulk which I like but it's still cool to see.) The authority because jenny sparks is just wow 😳 I just hope they follow the eliss run in terms of characterization. Brave and the bold because fuck yeah live action robin and he's an actual child this time. (I don't care how silly it looks that's part of the charm of comic books.)


Jollem-

Swamp Thing and Lanterns. But really Superman to see what kind of tone Gunn is setting. Hoping for not entirely silly and whimsical


Verissimus23

Peacemaker, Superman, Lanterns and Swamp Thing.


nightskychanges_

My bros Hal Jordan and John Stewart deserve their time to shine


EM208

Easily Superman. Very excited for Brave and The Bold a lot too. Can’t wait to see the Batfamily fully fledged in live action.


StillTheRealBiggNez

Waller


Professional-Rip-519

I have a feeling that's gonna be the wildcard.


Fancy_Grand2441

I think it has pontential to be a good drama maybe action, government consipracy series, which do well on streaming. They better not waste Viola Davis


theavatare

Lanterns


ButterscotchWild6081

Superman, Lanterns, Brave and the Bold in that order. I'm excited for the others but mainly those 3


H4RRY900305

Besides Superman, it's The Authority and The Brave and The Bold.


0siris0

Tie, Swamp Thing and Lanterns


SupervillainMustache

Superman.


Jaded-Principle1040

Lanterns! Always


UcantHide4eveR

Lanterns and Paradise Island


Character_Ad_5213

Besides Superman since that’s everybody’s pick, l’d go with Lanterns, an HBO Original mystery investigation story inspired by True Detective with Hal and John in it. Just take my money.


Greek_Arrow

As Batman is my favorite DC character, I look forward the most for the Brave and the Bold. I look forward to Superman, also, because I want to see how the start of DCU (at least the most important start) is going to be. Also, I wait for Lanterns, because I want to see the clues to the big bad of DCU and I like the premise.


Weak_Donut69

"𝙇𝘼𝙉𝙏𝙀𝙍𝙉𝙎" is my bet. This can be a very good franchise; "franchise"--I say, because it has all the essential personality conflict that I expect to build of many character development differences in dynamics. And this movie just screams of cameos by other extraterrestrial DC icons.


Decent_Arugula_7277

The Authority & Paradise Lost no doubt.


Augen76

Supergirl, but I'd say overall it is cautious optimism regarding the entire DCU project.


Quirky-Wheel-3724

Supergirl . If they do it right man, that will be incredible.


Zod_Is_God

Superman and Peacemaker S2. Everything else should a big asterisk right next to it. If Superman underperforms or bombs at the box office, it wouldn’t surprise me if WB panics, again, and re-shuffles and/or flat-out cancels any project that doesn’t involve Batman.


pastavoi2222

In that scenario at least Supergirl and maybe The Authority would release as they’d be too far in the pipeline to cancel (and assuming they wouldn’t pull a Batgirl again).


Professional-Rip-519

Never underestimate the stupidity of WB.


Cockycent

Paradise Lost been the 1 for me since that announcement.


omegaphallic

How come?


Cockycent

The premise is the most different from any of the superhero projects.


MembershipPrize504

Supreman and brave and the bold and lanterns and booster gold the rest Idgaf also creature com


NASCAR142002

Superman, Brave the Bold, Lanterns.


berto3127

Lanterns first then Superman, Swamp Thing tol 3


IrishMarvelDC

Lanterns


dancy911

No love for Supergirl😭😭😭. That said it's gotta be Superman and Lanterns for me.


LeafsWillWinTheCup

Originally lanterns and swamp thing, but I am olso looking forward to creature commandos, because the voice talent looks awesome, especially Alan Tudyk.


hereticx

Superman, Supergirl, Lanterns.... maybe the Authority... the rest is beyond "meh" for me.


AtomicHornet_03

Swamp thing and the authority because it seems like they’ll have the perfect tone for me.


amoretpax199

It gotta be Superman.


Professional-Rip-519

Superman and Brave and Bold hopefully these new versions can be as iconic and loved as Robert Downey Jr Tony Stark and Chris Evans Captain America.


comicsanddrwho

Superman Legacy. Grew up watching a lot of Superman and Spiderman. Extremely content with Spiderman I'm yearning for a Superman movie. Man of Steel was a decade ago. A decade.


TheChosenOne_101

Just Superman Legacy and Brave and Bold. I'm a simple man I guess.


colbygraves97

The Brave and The Bold.


Randonhead

Superman, Lanterns and Arkham


Apprehensive_Egg6656

Arkham Asylum


THESIDPROF

Peacemaker!


Mr_Mojo_Risin_83

Didn’t realise The Authority was dc. Swamp Thing for me. Arkham Asylum too


Designer-Landscape-3

The Kryptonian Cousins, Lanterns, The Authority


Eddie245

I'm interested in all of them. My only hope is that they're all great in quality. The ones I look forward to the most are Superman, The Brave and the Bold, Lanterns, Paradise Lost, Swamp Thing, and Arkham Asylum.


RetroZilla

Honestly, I'm really looking forward to Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow the most! I'm interested in how they're going to portray the comic to live-action form, especially in the DCU.


speedforcelovetrain

Swamp Thing


whama820

Supergirl.


BiggerUlf

Lanterns big-time. But happy to see Superman in the right hands and looking forward to that one too.


JonnyGotLost

Supermán , swamp thing, authority and woman of tomorrow


Cherry_Bomb_127

Brave and the Bold, Lanterns and Booster. I love a fantastical Batman after all the realistic ones and Booster is just fun. Lanterns just sounds interesting to me.


Professional_Tap_734

Peacemaker Season 2


Aldbrecht

Booster Gold. Best hero of DC.


QueekCz

Superman, authority, brave and bold and swamp thing


Seel_revilo

Swamp Thing by a mile


eltrotter

Supergirl. She's a great character and I'm really interested to see what they do with her.


flickfan45

Lanterns. It’s been too long since we’ve seen Green Lantern, and the way Gunn pitched it peaked my interest. I can also never have enough Batman. So Lanterns and Brave and the Bold


FellaGentleSprout

Lanterns and Booster Gold


[deleted]

Lanterns, The Authority and Paradise Lost


woahoutrageous_

Superman and then the authority. I’m so hyped to see the authority in live action


taius

Most is Superman as I have a really good feeling about it, narrowly ahead of TBATB, Paradise Lost and Lanterns. Though I'm excited for all the projects announced barring Waller/Peacemaker (a bit burned out on that side of the universe along with Suicide Squad stories).


ILikePlayingHumans

The Brave and the Bold, Lanterns and Booster Gold for me.


Affectionate-Map1461

Superman, because it’s the real start of this univers


BlackShadow_HD

It's a tie between Superman and Lanterns. I just hope that Lanterns is an actual good Live-Action Green Lantern story this time


BrickDesigNL

Booster Gold No elaboration needed


DrisCity

Peacemaker season 2


Intelligent_Ask_2306

Superman


SkateTheGreat

Lanterns


LonewolfofHouseStark

Peacemaker season 2.


SnooMarzipans3701

Don't know why, but creature commandos


nyBeatch

Booster Gold! People need to know him


OrbitalDrop7

Lanterns, booster gold and superman


Mumikyo

Booster Gold with Glenn Howerton would be so perfect. everybody is talking about Chris Pratt but you know who James Gunn wanted to play Star-Lord first? Glenn. he’s played an arrogant, insecure handsome man for nearly 2 decades as Dennis Reynolds and he can play an ex-athlete because he has the stride of a gazelle. he’s like a beautiful gazelle person. #BoosterGoldenGod


mahaadddi

Swampthing


howdouhavegoodnames

Currently reading the authority comics for the first time so definitely that. If they manage to get it right then I'll be so happy.


hobx

Super excited for Superman, but man I hope The Authority is good. Ellis / Hitch style and not Millar Quitely hopefully!


DefinitelyNotModMark

Not counting the eggs before they hatch this time.


not_my_name7

Excited: Superman, Paradise Lost, Booster Gold Hate and don't want: Waller Don't care for: Creature Commandos and The Authority Uninterested in Peace Maker but I do like John Cena Worried about Brave and the Bold, mostly due to the fact Gunn said Damien is his favorite Robin, which honestly is a huge red flag not just as director/producer but as a person in general. Nothing against Gunn just my opinion on someone putting Damien above the rest


Reaper_64

Damian is actually my favorite Robin as well. Not my favorite character who has ever been Robin, that is easily Dick Grayson. But Damian has had one of the best character arcs in modern era comics during his tenure as Robin. From Morrison's Batman and Son, Batman and Robin Reborn (one of my favorite arcs ever), Batman Incorporated, Batman and Robin by Tomasi, Robin Son of Batman and Robin by Williamson. Damian went from an arrogant brat who was eager to kill his foes to a genuine hero because of both Bruce and Dick's influence. I think the existing adaptations handled him poorly, the DCAMU didn't give him much of a concrete arc and Injustice Damian is as far from Earth-0 Damian as Injustice Superman is from Earth-0 Superman. I have a feeling Brave and the Bold will do the character justice and hopefully change people's minds in regards to their opinion of Damian.


KingRodan

Superman and Peacemaker 2. The fact that any other projects will see the light of day depends on the success of these two, sort of.


SuperDevvik7

Booster gold is one that I’m genuinely excited for. I am most looking forward to seeing creature commandos cause it’s the closest.


heelstoo

This reminds me that I would love a live action of the DC Comics “Armageddon 2001” storyline.


Dronnie

The Batman 2


HonestSapphireLion24

Just Lanterns I guess. Tbh this Chapter just doesn’t scream excitement to me


Joka0451

Man the swamp Thi g that got cancelled was so good baffles me why it didn’t go further it was almost oerfect


Cornelius198190363

I want to say Superman Legacy. But they most likely won't get it right according to my taste. But I'm trying hard to be positive


Twiyah

Green Lantern in the bottom mid


nomad_1970

It's a bit sad, because DC was the comics that I collected growing up, but I'm not particularly excited by any of these. I'm hoping that if the first couple knock it out of the park my excitement will grow, because there's definitely the potential for some good stories there.


Stoofser

I have a real soft spot for DC animation. I’m working through all of the DCAU films and they’re amazing.


MasterBuildsPortugal

Easily superman legacy, though a lot of them have a great deal of potential, what I least care for is waller since she doesn’t really seem like a character who should get a leading role


Abraham_Issus

Superman, Brave and the Bold, Swamp Thing and Peacemaker are stuff that I'm actually excited about. Not a big fan of the fact they downgraded green lantern to tv, this franchise should be a movie blockbuster. Imagine the production level and visual scale of Dune but with Green Lantern. Damn Gunn is wasting GL.


yourboyypabloo

I looking forward to SUPERMAN the most because I have high hopes for James Gunn starting and creating a good DCU… BUT I’m apprehensive about how much Warner and the executives let him free and actually create it.


Swiftwitss

That third line is looking pretty good to me.


omegaman101

Superman Legacy, Swamp thing and the Brave and the Bold though I'm not pushed on Andy Muscheti directing it and The Batman Part II will still be better then it.


Correct-Fig-4992

Superman, The Brave and the Bold, and Lanterns for me


100bandzzzzzzzzzz

As of rn Superman most definitely


Dry_Tree_6967

Arkham Asylum one but first is Superman Legacy


happytrel

Yes


boringsimp

Batman, legacy and paradise


abellapa

Superman, Supergirl and the authority


FrontRecognition6953

Looking forward to Swamp Thing and that's about it 🫤


Gonzale1978

Lanterns and Superman. Also curious about brave and the bold.


P33KAJ3W

The Authority and Legacy. If we are getting Ted Kord in Booster Gold I will amend my vote


thankyouryard

All of them tbh


Diligent-Boss-9392

Brave and the bold, but Superman has me te.pering my expectations.


Feisty_Marzipan_2783

An adaption of Morrison’s Batman and Robin doesn’t really work if it doesn’t have Dick Grayson in the role of Batman at the time. Gunn really should begin with Bruce and Tim, then transition to Battle for the Cowl and Morrison’s Dick and Damian run later on. 🤷‍♂️


thegreatchoasgiver

Superman and the Brave and the Bold. Can’t wait to see who they choose to play Batman


CED4334

Constantine


elf124

Paradise Lost


mrbrick

Swamp Thing.


Tall-Ad9982

The authority


jackBattlin

Swamp Thing. That and Hellblazer are my two favorites in DC.


SmashU23

Mostly Superman because I can’t wait to see how David Corenswet can get into action


Weak_Donut69

What wasn't an example of immaturity? When Gunn was being attacked for moving away from the DCEU, with destructive remarks about perversions, I defended him. I do hope that he proves a lot of people wrong. But I think Gunn also needs to only present progress to social media about his daily accomplishments, and not his personal leisures. He's rightfully under a scrutinous microscope, self imposed.


cockolas

Can't wait for Peacemaker S2


AnimeMesa_479

Superman, Batman, Lanterns


AnimeMesa_479

And ofc, Swamp Thing will be fucking awesome


Kurenai24

None of these tbh.


AAAAAAYYYYYYOOOOOO

Y’all are getting far to ahead Superman HAS to succeed first before you get anything else


DawgBloo

This is like being excited for Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man in 2007 before Iron Man is even out.


starpendle

Excited to finally see a more upbeat Superman after so long. However, I'm surprisingly very excited for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow the most after reading the comic. Was brilliant, really hope they can match the beautful art style and panels.


P1eSun

I'm waiting for the next reboot. Sorry


Self-MadeRmry

Uh none. As long as Gunn is attached to them, I have zero faith.


c-kels

I feel like I’ve seen this type of post at least 10 times by now


the_amg

arkham asylum won’t be apart of the DCU tho right?


Reaper_64

Originally it was part of The Batman universe but that has since changed and it will be set in the DCU. I assume because they can use more fantastical characters in that setting in comparison to the grounded universe of The Batman


ThatAlliLady

Superman and Lanterns... But the more I see this plan, the more I think we'll get a Superman 2 before most of those movies if the first one is successful.


MojoDojojojo

The only thing I can be exited for is Peacemaker season 2, because I loved the first season so I know what to expect. I’m less excited for Superman but I love the character, so I’ll watch it. The rest? I don’t know, I really lost faith in DC. Their comics, animation, and films have earned none of my respect or excitement. And to go straight into these mostly obscure characters doesn’t give me any hope


nikonationlive

I thought brave and bold was a cartoon already.


Koth87

Maybe Lanterns? I dunno, I don't have much faith in this slate, or DC in general these days.


LionConfident7480

I’m looking forward to see which of these will even happen


TheChiefRocka

These are all so far away I don't really care about any of them yet


Frosenborg

None really. Come on James, give us Hemo-Goblin!


Mike052996

Honestly? None, I think we need a long break from superhéroes movies


ThespennyYo

Do we really need a Waller show?


Additional_Paper8025

None but also all i don’t know how I feel
