That is exactly the job Underworld would do for Jason Mamoa’s Aquaman. The fairly standalone "Underworld" comic run came shortly after the universe-altering Rebirth event and did a fantastic job at recontextualizing this character in the new canon. One direction the studio could go is telling an Aquaman: Underworld story. Aquaman: Underworld DCĭavid Zaslav has said that “Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman” are all key parts of the DC calculation going forward for Warner Bros. With Keaton on board, Beyond could be the send-off for the actor, while also laying the seeds of this universe’s Gotham. Instead of Terry McGinnis, this version of Batman would be Damian Wayne, the son of Michael Keaton’s Bruce Wayne. Batman Beyond would be a take on the Beyond animated story with a twist. This would allow for The Batman universe to move forward on its own, while also having a separate Batman in the DCEU.
One way around this would be a Batman Beyond film. The one problem that that would create is this tonal dissonance between the moody take on Bruce Wayne seen in The Batman and the hopeful, brighter world of this new DCEU. With the success of The Batman, many have begged that WB just somehow tie in Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson’s take on the Dark Knight into the greater universe. The last and maybe most confusing member of the Trinity to be introduced in this new DCEU is Batman. Rebirth would be a celebration of Gadot's take on the character, while also ushering in the next generation. This Amazonian is closely tied to Diana in the comics and would be a stellar candidate to take on the Wonder Woman mantle. One name that has come up if Warner wants to move past Gal would be to introduce the DC character Nubia. Rebirth would see Gal Gadot back for her third solo film, but would ultimately end in her passing the baton onto the next iteration of the character. Wonder Woman: Rebirth would have ties to the old DCEU, but would also serve as a handing of the torch to this new and improved DCEU. Rebuilding that DC Trinity should be vital to WBs super-powered strategy going forward. Wonder Woman: Rebirth DCĪfter Superman, next on the docket for this new era of the DCEU would have to be Wonder Woman. Son of Krypton would conclude with Zod being sent off into unknown space (to a place audiences will later find out to be known as The Phantom Zone), with the hint of Lex Luthor on the horizon. A youngish Clark would take on a Superman staple in someone like General Zod (no, not Michael Shannon's version of the character). The movie would tackle the origin again, get him to Metropolis, and then start to deal with what it is like living as a god, but in a world of humans.
Son of Krypton would serve as a simple, yet exciting Superman story. This is the foundation upon which to build this new take on the franchise. Named for the sake of this article, Superman: Son of Krypton would serve as a tone-setter for the next decade and more of the DCEU. That is why this next era of the DCEU should begin with a brand-new Superman film. Superman: Son of Krypton DCįor WB, Superman should be their bread and butter. Discovery should go ahead with their big screen ventures in the DC universe. So, with a Marvel-esque ten-year plan being put in place, here is how Warner Bros. But with The Flash coming next year, a supposed reset point is sitting on the horizon. Since the DCEU’s inception, it has been shifting its focus as directors are forced out, stars ask to leave, and big names get tied up with the law.įor every move Warner has chosen to make for the DCEU, they have been forced to make just as many because of external forces. But this is not the first strategy shift that has happened for the franchise. Discovery CEO David Zaslav saying that the property ‘ is at the top of the list" for the WB. The studio revealed that it is in the middle of building a “team with a ten-year plan focusing just on DC," with Warner Bros. After the studio recently canceled the upcoming Batgirl film, WB announced they are ready to reevaluate the DCEU. Discovery has got some soul-searching to do when it comes to their DC strategy going forward.
