James Gunn Reveals DCU Chapter 1 Comic Inspirations & More Details

A few days after saying the DC Universe’s Chapter One slate, DC Studios Co-CEO James Gunn has given additional particulars about among the upcoming initiatives on Twitter.

First, Gunn tweeted out that although he spoke an important deal in regards to the comedian Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, there have been a number of different comics that have been serving as inspiration for the start of the brand new DCU.

The 4 comics Gunn posted are:

• All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely, and Jamie Grant
• The Authority Omnibus by Warren Ellis, Mark Millar, Tom Peyer, Frank Quietly, and Dustin Nguyen
• Batman by Grant Morrison, Andy Kubert, and Tony Daniel
• Absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore. Stephen R. Bissette, John Totleben, Rick Veitch, Shawn McManus, and Dan Day

You can take a look at Gunn’s tweet under to see the covers of every comedian.

Gunn was then requested about if he’d have Grant Morrison, who wrote two of the 4 listed comics, contribute to their comedian diversifications. The Co-CEO responded by saying he’s mates with Morrison and that the 2 of them discuss.

Another fan mentioned that The Brave and the Bold — the deliberate Batman and Robin movie primarily based on Grant Morrison’s Batman run — should be starkly completely different than 2022’s The Batman. Gunn responded saying no imaginative and prescient for a very good movie begins with it being “not” one thing.

Finally, one fan mentioned that they hope to see a chat present starring Weasel, the Sean Gunn-played creature from 2021’s The Suicide Squad, within the DCU. Gunn mentioned, “You might be in luck,” which could possibly be a joke or a real trace, given the director’s affinity for weirder characters.
