DC Studios Confirms 3 Elseworlds Movies In New Slate

James Gunn recently revealed that future projects outside of the main DCU canon will be labeled under a different name.

Chapter One of the new DCU was officially revealed by James Gunn, with titles such as Superman: Legacy and The Brave and the Bold highlighting the list of upcoming projects.

These films, along with the other movies and HBO Max shows that were confirmed to be a part of Chapter One, will make up the main canon storyline of DC’s films. The DCEU previously operated in a similar fashion, with those projects such as Man of Steel and Wonder Woman being the “main” story, while other films such as Joker took place outside of that universe.

With Gunn and Peter Safran’s new interconnected universe now well underway, there have been some concerns regarding how outside upcoming projects will fit into the fold, or if they would end up being made at all.

The Batman and Joker 2 Labeled As DC Elseworlds

Co-CEO of DC Studios, James Gunn, recently revealed the upcoming slate for Chapter One of the DCU, which was named Gods and Monsters.

While announcing that there will be an interconnected web of movies and HBO Max series to be labeled DCU, Gunn also mentioned that projects outside of this main canon, such as Matt Reeves' The Batman, will be labeled as DC Elseworlds moving forward. This is set up similarly to DC Comics, where it is clear if a story takes place in the main canon or outside in its own world.
