DC on SCREEN | DC Studios News & Reviews

I've been sick, so it's been a minute -- meanwhile James Gunn is out here talking up Salvation, hinting at a supernatural Batman, and letting Supergirl be as edgy as Tom King and Ana Nogueira want her to be. Of course we're trying (and failing) to process it all like responsible adults. We break down why Andy Muschietti should shut tf up about The Flash, Gunn's Lex Luthor obsession, go on a stroopwafel detour, diagnose our ADHD binge-watch habits, and so much more!

SupermanSuperman’s Box Office Triumph & DCU UpdatesThe DC Universe is taking shape, and it all starts with Superman. The film has officially crossed $614 million worldwide, with $353M domestic (57.5%) and $260M international (42.5%). James Gunn has called the movie’s success the “biggest relief of his life” because if it hadn’t worked, the future of the entire DCU slate—from Supergirl to Lanterns—would have been in jeopardy.Superman Box Office UpdateDomestic box office: $353,302,360International box office: $260,800,000Worldwide total: $614,102,360This breakdown shows how crucial U.S. audiences remain for superhero films, even as international numbers grow.Variety and Deadline Report on Superman Profit MarginSuperman has an 8-week profit margin of about $125 million.It is the seventh-highest grossing film of the year.By comparison Man of Steel's profit margin was $42.7 million.We explain why domestic is still more profitable to studios than international.Gunn Relieved by Superman SuccessJames Gunn admitted that Superman’s success was critical for DC Studios:“If Superman didn’t work, I’m the head of DC Studios! What am I gonna do now? We have Supergirl, Peacemaker Season 2, Lanterns, Clayface—they’re all connected to this!”PeacemakerSuperman’s Visit to the Peacemaker SetA behind-the-scenes photo dated July 23, 2024 sparked speculation. David Corenswet appeared on the Peacemaker set in full Superman costume while James Gunn was splitting directing duties between Superman and Peacemaker Season 2. Fans believe this signals a direct connection between the two projects, with Superman potentially playing a meaningful role in Peacemaker Season 2. We disagree somewhat.How Would Fleury See Hawkgirl?Fans asked James Gunn online what Fleury might think of Hawkgirl. His playful response:“I think he’d wonder what’s wrong with her head and wouldn’t really know.”Yes the Grammar Fuck Up Was IntentionalJames Gunn confirmed that the infamous “Your the best” typo was intentional, sparking fan discussion. He also joked about Harcourt’s “Thirstcourt” side in her texts, keeping his trademark banter alive.ClayfaceClayface – Gotham City Map Easter EggsA leaked Gotham City Transit Authority map revealed nods to Batman lore: Arkham Asylum, Ace Chemical, the Iceberg Lounge, Blackgate Penitentiary, Gotham Knights sporting complex, Wayne-owned buildings, Kane Estate, and Kane Memorial Bridge. Fans debated similarities to real-world Manhattan maps (like Hell’s Kitchen).Man of Tomorrow – Superman Sequel AnnouncedJames Gunn confirmed Man of Tomorrow hits theaters July 9, 2027, almost exactly two years after Superman. Gunn clarified:It’s not titled Superman 2, just Man of Tomorrow.The film will explore Superman and Lex Luthor’s relationship, with Nicholas Hoult’s Luthor donning the green-and-purple Warsuit.Speculation: Possible villains may be Bizarro, Brainiac, or Zod.Gunn emphasized his collaborative writing process and ongoing rewrites.People Responding to James GunnThe Man of Tomorrow announcement drew reactions from DC stars and creators:Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl): “See You Soooon”Aaron Pierre (John Stewart): “Yes, Indeed!” 💚Dan Slott: cryptically thrilled, “For reasons I can’t mention…”Grant Gustin: ❗❗Brandon Routh: ❤️🙌Lois is ImportantWhen asked about Lois Lane’s role in Man of Tomorrow, Gunn confirmed:“She’s important.”Very, Very ConnectedGunn reassured fans that while projects can be enjoyed independently, Peacemaker Season 2 and Man of Tomorrow are “very, very connected”—a key part of the DCU’s shared storytelling.The Batman Epic Crime SagaColin Farrell, who reprises his Penguin role, called The Batman Part II screenplay “extraordinary.” He expressed doubts about a second season of The Penguin, preferring perhaps to leave the story as-is rather than risk diminishing it.DCTea – DC Studios Project UpdatesUpcoming projects are at varying stages of development:Man of Tomorrow (next DC movie)The Batman Part IIBooster Gold, Wonder Woman, Paradise Lost, The Authority (somewhat change), Brave & the Bold — all in progress.Why Gunn Changed the Meaning of A.R.G.U.S.In the DCU, A.R.G.U.S. now means Advanced Research Group of The United States, shifting emphasis from “uniting superheroes” to keeping them in check.The Canonicity of Welcome to Metropolis BookJames Gunn confirmed the Welcome to Metropolis prequel novel is not canon, emphasizing that only filmed media counts as official DCU continuity.The Answer About The QuestionWhen asked about rights issues surrounding Charlton Comics characters, Gunn assured fans that The Question is available and remains one of his personal favorites.Those Joker & Harley Quinn Movie RumorsFilmmaker Zach Cregger addressed rumors about a Joker/Harley Quinn project. While he denied Gunn’s involvement, he confirmed his own Gotham-set script exists, focusing on a low-level Gotham goon—which he considers his best work. The project remains possible for the futureHosts:David C.

On this spoiler-filled review of Peacemaker 2x01 - "The Ties That Grind" we discuss Jason's predilection for breaking and entering (my ear with his beak), our love for multiverse stories, our hatred for aiming the gun back and forth while screaming, "WHICH ONE IS THE REAL ONE?", our wishes that so much of this first episode hadn't been in the trailers, and so much more! You know there's so much more, right? No one listens to this show more than once thinking, "this time they'll stay on-topic."FYI: There was almost a version of the show art that was just a blurred orgy. As it is, I still managed to create an alternate version of the show art, so I'll give you a look at both on our website.Join Our Riotous DC Debauch!Site: https://dconscreen.comStore: https://bit.ly/DCoStorePatreon: https://patreon.com/dconscreenApple: http://bit.ly/DCoSReviewSpotify: http://bit.ly/DCSCREENSpreaker: https://bit.ly/DCoSSpreakerSubscribe to David C.
