What's going on with the upcoming DC movies? Here's what we know so far

Warner Bros. and DC 's renewed approach to building a cinematic universe is looser than Marvel 's MCU efforts.

DC Studios co-heads James Gunn (of Guardians of the Galaxy fame) and Peter Safran ( Peter Safran ) have revealed they're venturing into Chapter 1 of the DCU: Gods and Monsters , which actually began in December 2024 with season 1 of Creature Commandos .

The Batman, Joker , and The Penguin will remain 'elseworlds' which toy with DC 's rich library in different ways and apart from the main DC continuity.

The Batman will skip the DCU continuity and not join the more comic book-y DCU.

The Batman: The Brave and the Bold has been underway for at least a little over two years now.

James Gunn has said he's still waiting for a script that Reeves is happy with.

James Mangold remains on board to write and direct the big-screen adaptation of Swamp Thing .

Teen Titans is another movie based on fan-favorite characters that's in the early stages of development.

The potential roster of characters is completely up in the air, though many fans would like to see a close adaptation of the early 2000s CN animated series.

A possible sequel to 2005 's Constantine starring Keanu Reeves is also in the works.
