During the weekend, the new DC Studios Superman Functionality has become the beginning of this year’s box office in the United States. The success of the film is a sign that theater lovers could in fact be as tired of superheroes as people tend to think so, and it is particularly notable for Warner Bros., given the studio’s plan to build a new cinematographic universe of DC Comics Adaptations for the big screen. But making interconnected movie franchises work is easier to say than to do. And even if Superman Registered figures, DC may have a lot more trouble doing the same with its next CAPE films.
Although he failed A minecraft film‘sand Lilo & Stitchnational opening weekends, Superman shaved $ 125 million in the United States and an additional $ 95 million dollars, making it the most solid WB superheroes since Matt Reeves’ Batman in 2022. You can see these figures reflected in the same number of Superman hype (some of which were weird and disgusting) who has been over social media since the first creation of the film. Due to SupermanSuccess, the CO-PDG of DC Studios James Gunn would be Think about a few series of spin-offs Around Monsieur d’Edi Gathegi, Terrific and Jimmy Olsen by Edi Gathegi. But before all this materializes, the studio must first sell the public on its next two characteristics of grains of tents planned next year: Craig Gillespie’s Supergirl And James Watkins’ Clay.
After the disaster which became known as DCEU, WB desperately needed a new start and a vision of the way he could use the DC characters in a way that the public would really like. This need led to the creation of DC studios with Gunn and the CO-PDG Peter Safran guiding all the effort. Although Gunn worked on previous DC projects, the appointment of his DC studios felt as a movement of power on the part of WB which spoke to his desire to repel the domination of the Marvel box office. And although it seemed a little strange that Gunn wanted to launch his new DC universe with an animated Creature commandos Streaming series for (HBO) Max, it was easy to understand the logic behind his plan to make a new centerpiece of the franchise.
Superman has always been a pillar of the DC Comics brand and has embodied a large part of what makes the characters of the company convincing on different supports. In a universe full of gods, extraterrestrial monsters and super-villains, Superman represents hope and humanity to its best. It is an almost indestructible power, but it is also only a nisal of Kansas who loves his family and believes in the importance of journalism. He has a lot of super-lovers, but he also has major beef with disturbed billionaires who cannot look at the concept of immigrants being people who make a precious contribution to society.
These basic beats have defined Superman Stories since the character appeared for the first time in 1938. And part of what makes Gunn’s new film so excellent is the way he weaves all these ideas together in a colorful and optimistic joyride that does not feel anything other recent WB on the man of steel.
A part of SupermanSuccess can also be attributed to the fundamental fact that he is a character whose tradition that most people know – something that the film recognizes by making silence on the tragic background of Clark Kent and by letting you say directly in his life as a established superhero. But the same thing cannot be said exactly for the Cousin of Superman, Kara / Supergirl and Batman Méchant Batman Clayface.
Thanks to CBS Supergirl And HBO Max’s Harley Quinn The animated series, Kara and Clayface have had fairly large presences on the small screen in recent years. But the characters have always had a little lower profiles compared to the other heroes and bad guys of DC. Seen via a goal, DC Studios following Superman with Supergirl And Clay Reads as a decision calculated to avoid following the examples of the MCU and the DCEU, which were both fleshed out by a series of features focused on the types of characters on list A on the lunch boxes and the book bags. But future features also think, at least on paper, informed by the way studios like Marvel and Disney have gotten into the habit of expanding their gender franchises with poorly designed benefits.
It is in a way the general atmosphere that you obtain from the whole list of DC Studio projects which are currently in development, which includes a film in stop-motion on two of the Robins of Batman, a Real detective-Thyle Green Lantern Show for HBO Max, and A functionality on Bane and Deathstroke. A sequence of Batman – which is prior to the DCU and exists in its own continuity – must also be released in 2027. And at a given time, the studio intends to present a new Bruce Wayne which is likely to have a link with Superman and Wonder Woman (of which The restart is also in the pipeline) to form a kind of justice league.
DC Studios
Most of the films and distant series of DC Studios resemble types of projects that you expect to what a studio leads – those with instantly recognizable characters whose stories are well known for the public to be curious and excited by the way they could be done differently. Supergirl of Milly Alcock, which obtains a brief and fantastic Superman Cameo, seems a little better suited to maintain the current momentum of the franchise. But since we are so early in the existence of this DCU, a horror of the body as ClayAbout an actor who becomes a deadly mud monster, looks like a more difficult sale (even if Mike Flanagan writes the script).
It’s easy to imagine Supergirl And Clay revealing that what the public gets tired is not stories of inspiration from comics, but extensive and interconnected franchises are more concerned with growth than making good films. This energy is what led the MCU in its flop era and did the most Disney more ‘ Star Wars Slogs of the series to pass, and DC Studios clearly does not want to be in a similar position. Transforming the cousin of Clark and a DC villain less known into mastodontes at the box office could be an even greater challenge – but Superman The least shows that Gunn and Safran know where to start. And if the studio plays its cards correctly, it could really be the start of a new golden age for DC.
