With both Superman and Batman, as well as Robin and Green Lantern, being reinvigorated for the D.C.U., and The Flash (2023) paving the way for the new franchise, it makes one wonder if the Justice League will one day be reiterated for it as well. James Gunn and Peter Safran may not have said anything about the team given their current plans, but given how the League is D.C.'s flagship team and those three particular heroes being among its members, it makes one wonder if the two of they will one day include them in any future entries. Plus, the title for the franchise's first "Chapter", "Gods and Monsters", is named after one of the team's comic arcs and its animated film version. And if so, with Darkseid being the League's greatest enemy, the only remaining questions are if he'll be included as well in the future, who could portray him, what he's after could be, and how such a future conflict could take place. Obviously, given the plans that James and Peter have made and those that they're developing, in addition to considering what their vision will be, it'll be very different from Zack Snyder's scrapped plans. But given how popular they are in the comics, they just have to be included.

I don't know if I'll ever return to this database, and I honestly highly doubt it. But after everything that A.O.L. Time Warner Bros. Discovery Entertainment Media has done to muck things up for the D.C.E.U. and their lack of a desire to fix the messes that they started, coupled with the filmmakers' and actors' lack of fighting to get its things back on the right track again at the time, I've become highly skeptical of the future of interconnected D.C. films and shows. If they repeat this same mistake again with the upcoming D.C.U., then they should just stop altogether. It's as simple as that. They have no one to blame for this mess but themselves! Had they let the filmmakers take their own chances and execute their visions for the stories as they all saw fit, then the D.C. Extended Universe could've been a more successful entity despite its questionable flaws. Instead, the folks at the studios simply gave them all their middle fingers crossed into an X in favor of simply looking after their own bonuses and careers. That unfortunate reality is simply unacceptable and so motivated by greed and paranoia. While I'm willing to give James Gunn and Peter Safran's D.C. Universe the benefit of the doubt, if they do repeat this same mistake again, then I'll have turned my back on D.C. altogether. Given Gunn's prior experience with the M.C.U. in directing the Guardians of the Galaxy films and special and serving as producer in some of its other entries, however, I hope that they'll have learned a big lesson since hiring him if they still haven't yet. And if not, then D.C. will have crashed and burned. So block me if you have to, but that's that. Sorry to bid you all farewell on such a bitter note, but happy effing upcoming Valentine's Day, people.

This is obviously old news, but since the D.C.U. is supposed to carry over some semblance of continuity and character elements from the D.C.E.U., I think it'd be interesting to see him return. Since the new franchise will take a different direction from the one that the D.C.E.U. took, though, something tells me that his journey for Anti-Life and battle against the Justice League will be restarted entirely from scratch. I for one am not surprised, but assuming that James Gunn and Peter Safran give their approval, it'll be good to know that the new universe will bring the League and their greatest arch-nemesis back.
James Gunn confirmed that everything released before Creature Commandos premieres on Max next year and Superman: Legacy comes out on theaters is not canonical to his and Peter Safran's D.C.U. As such, Blue Beetle is not part of the new franchise's timeline, even though Xolo Maridueña will keep playing him in it. They're just part of the D.C.E.U. This is my source: https://deadline.com/2023/09/james-gunn-viola-davis-john-cena-xolo-mariduena-wga-strike-1235558076/
As such, the "faint memory" of the events of both The Suicide Squad and season 1 of Peacemaker never happened in the D.C.U. either. Just wanted to clarify that for all of you.
Otherwise, I hope you all have a merry Christmas! ✝️❤️☦️❣️🙏😍🕍💒⛪🎄

It feels like a prelude to A.O.L. Time Warner Bros. Discovery Entertainment Media mucking things up again, just as they've already done with the D.C.E.U. Personally, I'm willing to give Gunn and Safran's D.C.U. the benefit of the doubt. But if things are cocked up again, then D.C. should just give up on an interconnected universe franchise, let alone live-action films, altogether. It's as simple as that. And after seeing this article earlier today, I'm on pins and needles right now. The folks at Warner really have let their paranoia and cowardice get to their heads.
