James Gunn Reveals What's Still Canon in the DCU & Talks Creature Commandos, Batman, and Superman

  • Now that we're weeks away from the animated series Creature Commandos, we're officially kicking off the brand-new DC Universe with Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters. Since the brand's massive shift announcement in 2022, co-CEO James Gunn has been nonstop busy between his involvement on this series and 2025's Superman and Peacemaker Season 2. Considering the multi-hyphenate took over what's now heralded as the DCU after helming one of Marvel Studio's most epic superhero trilogies, it's little wonder this new universe draws so many comparisons and expectations - but in this interview, Gunn sets the record straight.
    Creature Commandos, which features the vocal talents of David Harbour, Zoë Chao, Alan Tudyk, Frank Grillo, Sean Gunn, Viola Davis, and Indira Varma (all of whom could make live-action appearances as their series characters), is the first official project that will restart the on-screen DCU, but fans shouldn't be expecting the same formulaic roadmap as the MCU. Yes, there is an outline of which characters Gunn intends to explore, but nothing is going to be churned out without the perfect script.
    In this conversation with Collider's Steve Weintraub, Creature Commandos showrunner Dean Lorey and Gunn tell us, "It all comes down to the writing." If the screenplay isn't perfect, the project isn't moving forward. When asked about his iteration of Batman, Gunn says there's no pressure to meet a timeline-specific date. He laments the idea of filmmakers wasting potential on stories with no third act, and drops Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow as the prime example of a green-lit series that was script-ready. The DC duo also discuss the deeply emotional narrative of Creature Commandos, how "this show, at its core, is really a tragedy," and addresses fan questions like what's still canon from before, what's with Rick Flag Sr.'s hair, and tons more.

    His talk about world building and not having the audience do their “homework” to know what’s going on is the best news I could have heard! Easier to get new audiences involved and building a new lived in world sounds so sick. Very Westeros .

      I think this is how always was done. A lot of franchises or fantasy/sci-fi worlds don't explained every little bit of the world so they can start the story. They always star with a full blown world and dig deeper in the themes and corners that matter. This is how Harry Potter worked out, Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of Rings, Game of Thrones. And it's a lot easier to do it on screen cuz you don't need to discribe things, just show it. I think the marvel model is the new one and, althrough worked for them, it's a really exausting model of storytelling. And belive me, in my country we have soap operas with 230 episodes 6 days a week. Think Guun is going for the golden standard of Storytelling, build the world to serve the story, not the story explain the world. Audience will pick up in the ride, they always did it. And, just like you, i'm very excited cuz looks like DC new universe will feel a lot more like a organic fantastic world with vibrant collors and unique aesthetic, instead of a pseudo-scifi-esque world like MCU.

      How does that even make sense when Batman is starting at Damien? Who is Damien? I thought the Robin name was Dick Grayson. Who are the Creature Commandos? Is that a Universal Monster project? Should I go on or continue to debunk that statement?

      @@gohanson27 Your point doesn't make sense because people don't know who Robin is, they just know he is Batman's sidekick. Audiences are smart, they will pick it up along the way that Damien is the fifth to wear the mantle when the explained it to them. They don't have to make 10 movies just to explain each Robin and Batgirl.
      Why would people think of Creature Commandos as a Universal Monster project? The only think people are going to think about that series is that is very fun, gory and sad, and they would want more of that IP.

      And even, correct me if I'm wrong....very DCAU. I remember 10 years ago watching some episodes of Justice League and Justice League Unlimited out of order and I didn't even watch the entire series but irrespective of who showed up in whichever episode I felt both curious as to who this more obscure DC character was and at the same time still able to enjoy them and the narrative of the episodes I saw without having watched all of Superman TAS or whatever. Whereas Marvel be it the cartoons, the MCU or otherwise, to me just feels like an overarching interconnected soap opera saga where everyone and everything is important and you're kinda stuck if you don't watch this episode of X-Men or that Iron Man film or episode of WandaVision.

    I just have to applaud Gunn. The new DC Universe could've started with something gritty, realistic, more palatable to the "common consumer". And my man said "Nope, first project is Creature Commandos. And it's gonna be animated."

      The best part is he said the reason why it's started with Creature commandos is cuz was already written and it was good. I love how pragmatic he is. That story about he sending full scripts to the Economos actor and only asking him to do the part whem the show was already written is so awesome.

    What screams volumes to me is that ever since James and Peter Safran took over DC, there has been ZERO studio interferences with projects, and smooth shooting and production for ALL projects. New castings. SUPER transparent. Starting projects when the screenplay is ready, not rushed out just cause of a release date. The DC Universe is in great hands.

      Definitely not just Marvel. WB handling DC properties did the same thing. Lucasfilm has been guilty of it, too. And Sony, and pre-acquisition Fox, and so on and so forth. It's just a business model that the industry has come to trust more than they should have, because the industry is primarily run by business people, not artists. It's not even that it never works. The Emperor's New Groove is an early example where throwing away the script and just collectively winging it somehow worked out. The problem isn't that one can't make a good movie that way, it's that it's an unreliable and unpredictable way to do it, that involves a lot more costly trial and error, and there are many ways for it to go too wrong to fix.
      My hope is that Marvel, too, will learn this lesson from all the trouble they've had trying to finish Captain America 4 and getting Blade into production. Both of those could conceivably turn out to be great movies at the end of the day, but it certainly could have gone smoother. I'm glad the new DC is starting out right out the gate with this lesson already learned. That should save them a lot of trouble.

So if that person took on that philosophy but it didn’t always appear as quality to you then do you still agree with it?

I acknowledge that there will be some projects that work for some people and not others. But what really matters is that the movies, shows, etc are made well. That's why James taking his time with the scripts, making sure that they're good quality scripts, matters so much.

    So basically events similar to The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker happened, but aren't 100% canon.
    Basically if someone died, like Captain Boomerang in The Suicide Squad, but his death isn't mentioned or he appears later in the DCU, that means he didn't die in those version of events. Or if like Harley Quinn wasn't shown or mentioned to be part of the Suicide Squad, then that means she wasn't in those events of the film.

      I just assumed there was too many references like Bloodsport shooting superman with a kryptonite bullet, or Peacemaker talking about certain characters for jokes etc and the justice league scene. So it’s kinda like the big events happened, since we know Peacemaker definitely killed Rick Flag so that kinda confirms Starro, and peacemaker s1’s events mostly happened.
      I think the “didn’t happen unless it’s mentioned” is to play it safe, but it’s almost entirely true events

    Pacemaker S1 is not canon to DCU , S2 is

Hell Blazer /John Constantine, animal man, doom patrol and swamp thing which were from vertigo, I know DC owns vertigo. Which they brought in the DC heroes and now I think they’re re-creating vertigo or so I heard. Authority is from wild storm which DC acquired. Then there’s milestone comics. Should I also get into access and the amalgam universe with Marvel and DC. Or should I go as far back as Charleston comics with blue beetle, and the question and others? But no, I don’t know anything about comics, LOL. What I probably should’ve said, Nina Mazursky the way she looks, can this be lead into a DC/Dark Horse Crossover ?
