The superhero television series from DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Universe (DCU) have received some production updates via Production Weekly, verifying reports from r/DCULeaks from last year. The comedy Booster Gold is listed as in active development, while the “terrestrial-based” cosmic detective story Lanterns is being produced by Gunn and Safran alongside Damon Lindelof (Watchmen, Lost), who was previously revealed to be consulting on it, and comic book writer and DC Studios writers’ room member Tom King. Also confirmed in the listing is that Chris Mundy (True Detective, Criminal Minds, Ozark) is serving as showrunner of Lanterns (which was also first revealed by r/DCULeaks). That’s an impressive resume while Nathan Fillion will reprise his Superman: Legacy role as the Green Lantern Guy Gardner, bowl cut and all. This lends to indicate that DC Studios is ramping up production after a slow development year, save for Superman, no thanks to the dual Hollywood strikes.

The spy series Waller is also still in development, after it was originally set for a 2024 release though that may be delayed as filming has yet to occur due to the strikes preventing work from progressing last year. Alongside Gunn and Safran (the latter also through The Safran Company), the series has added some remarkable talent in Chris Provenzano (Mad Men, Justified), who is producing the series with showrunners Christal Henry and Jeremy Carver. Amanda Waller herself Viola Davis is also producing through her and film producer Julius Tennon’s production company JuVee Productions. (Tennon is not known to be involved.) One recurring name in these listings is casting director John Papsidera (The Dark Knight, Tenet, The Suicide Squad), who is the overall CD for the DCU and has had a stellar track record already with Superman: Legacy, which is also being produced with executive producer Charles Roven’s Atlas Entertainment while Lars P. Winther, who worked on Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy films as a co-producer, is also among the producer team. The production logline for Waller states:

“A live action series, the spinoff of Peacemaker, centered around Amanda Waller and her relationship with her daughter, Leota. If there's one government bureaucrat who shouldn't be messed with, it’s Amanda Waller, founder of the infamous Task Force X, better known as the Suicide Squad.”

Loeta Adebayo was portrayed by Danielle Brooks in Peacemaker, and she will reprise her role in this series.

Happyly and positively looking forward to Lanterns, Booster and Waller. Maybe Superman Legacy's Authority will replace the bad guys of Kingdom Come in the overall plan since those weren't that gripping.

Shazam 2 First DC Film To Have Movie-Exclusive Main Villain With No Comic Book Origin

I'd have rather had the Monster Society to be honest.

For real, why tease them and then do nothing...

Not yet I'm guessing

They will probably be at the end with even more members still preparing their plans

Should have gone with Mr.Mind. Fits the goofiness of Shazam perfectly.

I don't really care for Shazam 2 using original villains, but they're definitely easy on the eyes.

Love how they put Rachel Zegler on the forefront. lol Hollywood is doing the same thing with her they did with Jennifer Lawrence a decade ago, trying to turn her into an overnight sensation by forcing her into a bunch of big productions simultaneously. Lawrence at least had the talent to back it up.

And she's not even playing an actual comic character...

To reiterate:

Even if Kingdom Come were actually being planned as their big 10 year end cap, I very much doubt they'd be spoiling that already before the new regime has announced a single film. It'd be like if Marvel had announced they were adapting Infinity Gauntlet in 10 years before they'd even cast the lead for the first Iron Man movie.

Update on a talk from the last dceu thread.
Here some talk about RT audinece score vs cinemascore and other websites.

Original AnalysisIt’s time to ignore the Rotten Tomatoes Verified Audience Score (self.boxoffice)

[–]Significant-Chart-24 45 points 27 days ago quote-
Unfortunately, any release with minimal controversy or that is part of some kind of online war tends to have unreliable ratings on this type of site. In some comic groups I'm in, people were trying hard to pretend that Black Adam was a success to discredit professional critics for giving good ratings to things like she hulk and other media they considered woke. Of course these people are very few and don't have the power to change the box office at the end of the day but their online presence is very strong.
