James Gunn, Peter Safran
DC Studios CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran announced upcoming movies and TV shows on Tuesday, including new Superman and Batman films.
  • DC Studios announced the first wave of movies and TV shows for the new DC universe.
  • It features a strange mix of well-known characters and those you may not have heard of.
  • There are also aspects of the old DC movie universe — but it still shows promise.

An animated monster series. New Superman and Batman movies. A Wonder Woman spinoff show.

These are a few of the projects DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran announced on Tuesday as part of the first wave of content for their new, connected DC universe.

The slate, titled "Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters," is, to put it plainly, bizarre — and even a bit risky.
