James Gunn Reveals The Tone Of His DC Universe Reboot Will ‘Shift’

Besides helming a fresh take on one of the world’s most iconic heroes with «Superman: Legacy,» James Gunn will also be directing Season 2 of «Peacemaker» and scribbling down the universe’s first animated entry, «Creature Commandos,» which could see whoever ends up voicing those roles appear later in live action. However, the DC Studios co-CEO isn’t going it alone, with both Andy Muschietti and James Mangold being among the first filmmakers to enlist in fleshing out this new comic book world.

Having already dabbled in sending heroes to the big screen with «The Flash,» Muschietti will be answering the bat signal with «The Brave and the Bold,» marking the first live-action appearance of Batman’s son Damian Wayne, who will moonlight as Robin. After giving us Wolverine’s last stand in «Logan,» Mangold has confirmed he’s working on the DCU’s «Swamp Thing,» which has been on his pile of passion projects for some time.
