The DC Extended Universe (DCEU) is an American media franchise and shared universe that is centered on a series of superhero films, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, based on characters that appear in publications by DC Comics. The shared universe, much like the original DC Universe in comic books, was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters. The films have been in production since 2011 and in that time Warner Bros. has distributed four films with more than ten in various stages of production. The series has grossed over $3 billion at the global box office, currently making it the seventeenth highest-grossing film franchise.

The films are written and directed by a variety of individuals and feature large, often ensemble, casts. Several actors, including Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa, and Ray Fisher, are set to appear in numerous films. In May 2016, DC's chief creative officer Geoff Johns and Warner Bros. executive vice president Jon Berg were appointed to co-run the DC Films division and oversee creative decisions, production and story-arcs in order to create a cohesive overarching plot within the films.

The first film in the DCEU was Man of Steel (2013), which was followed by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), Suicide Squad (2016), and Wonder Woman (2017). Future films include Justice League (2017), Aquaman (2018), Shazam (2019), Wonder Woman 2 (2019), Cyborg (2020), and Green Lantern Corps (2020). Other projects are also in various stages of development, including Suicide Squad 2, Justice League Dark, Flashpoint, The Batman, Batgirl, Gotham City Sirens, a Justice League sequel, an untitled Joker and Harley Quinn duo film, a second Superman solo film, and untitled solo films for Black Adam and Nightwing.

Development

In 2002, Wolfgang Petersen was set to direct a Batman vs. Superman film from a script by Akiva Goldsman.[4] Warner Bros. canceled development to focus on individual Superman and Batman projects after J. J. Abrams submitted another draft for Superman: Flyby.[5][6] In February 2007, Warner Bros. hired husband and wife duo Michele and Kieran Mulroney to write a script for a Justice League film.[7] Christian Bale, who starred as Batman in Batman Begins (2005), was not approached to reprise the role,[8] nor was Brandon Routh, who starred as Superman in Superman Returns (2006).[9] George Miller was hired to direct the film,[10] reportedly titled Justice League Mortal,[11] with Armie Hammer cast as Batman, D. J. Cotrona as Superman, Adam Brody as Flash, Santiago Cabrera as Aquaman, Common as Green Lantern, Megan Gale as Wonder Woman, Hugh Keays-Byrne as Martian Manhunter and Jay Baruchel as Maxwell Lord.[12] The project was put on indefinite hold in January 2008, after failing to secure tax breaks for filming in Australia, as well as the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike preventing progress on the script.[13]

In 2013, a reboot of the Superman franchise, Man of Steel, was set to lay the groundwork for future DC films.[14] The film contained references to other characters in the DC Universe, so if it were a success, it could launch a shared universe.[15][16] Days before Man of Steel's release in June, it was reported that director Zack Snyder and screenwriter David S. Goyer would be returning for a sequel, which was being fast-tracked by Warner Bros.[17] In July, at San Diego Comic-Con, it was revealed that the sequel would include Batman in a main role, thus establishing the shared universe.[18][19] In October 2014, Warner Bros. announced a slate of ten DC films.[20]

Geoff Johns (pictured) has co-run DC Films with Jon Berg since 2016

Upon announcement, the universe was commonly called the "DC Cinematic Universe" by fans and the media, in keeping with the naming convention of the already established Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).[21][22][23] In July 2015, the release of the September 2015 issue of Empire confirmed the universe name as the "DC Extended Universe" (DCEU).[24][25] While the MCU includes television productions, the DCEU is a shared continuity for films. Several television series featuring DC characters and storylines have their own shared continuity, frequently referred to as the Arrowverse.[26] DC's chief creative officer Geoff Johns explained DC's difference in approach to Marvel Studios and their cinematic universe, saying, "We look at it as the multiverse. We have our TV universe and our film universe, but they all co-exist. For us, creatively, it’s about allowing everyone to make the best possible product, to tell the best story, to do the best world. Everyone has a vision and you really want to let the visions shine through ... It's just a different approach."[27] In June 2015, Warner Bros. president of creative development Greg Silverman expanded on DC's approach to their cinematic universe, saying, "We ... take these beloved characters and put them in the hands of master filmmakers and make sure they all coordinate with each other. You'll see the difference when you see ... the things that we are working on."[28]

In May 2016, following criticism of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Warner Bros. established a DC Films division with Geoff Johns and Warner Bros. executive vice president Jon Berg as its heads,[29] which oversees production to form a cohesive creative direction for the DC Extended Universe.[30][31] DC Films will not be fully autonomous, with Johns reporting to DC president Diane Nelson and Berg reporting to Silverman.[30] Charles Roven was also moved from his day-by-day producer role on future DC films, which he had served since 2005's Batman Begins, to an administrative executive producer role.[32] In December, Silverman was ousted from his role in Warner Bros., and Toby Emmerich was promoted to president and chief content officer, in his place.[33] As of January 2017, Johns and Berg report to Emmerich.[34] Following the financial and critical success of Wonder Woman in June 2017, Johns stated that moving forward the films will focus on the heart, humor, hope, heroics, and optimism of the characters.[35]

Untitled Nightwing film

Chris McKay, the director of the untitled Nightwing film

By February 2017, Warner Bros. was developing a film centered on Dick Grayson / Nightwing, with Chris McKay and Bill Dubuque signed on as director and screenwriter respectively.[182] In discussing what he is looking for in casting the character, McKay cited the level of physical activity the actor will have to endure, including martial arts, gymnastics and stunts as what will be required for the role.[183]

Batgirl

In March 2017, Joss Whedon was hired to write, direct and produce a Barbara Gordon / Batgirl film.[184] According to Entertainment Weekly, the film will draw inspiration from The New 52 comics by Gail Simone.[185] In April, Whedon stated that he was drawn to the character because of her choice to become a vigilante, even though she did not have a childhood tragedy like Bruce Wayne / Batman had, and that the damaged aspect of the character will be explored in the film.[186] In July, Geoff Johns stated that Whedon will begin production on the film in 2018.[187] At the San Diego Comic-Con, the title was announced to be Batgirl.[123]

Untitled Joker and Harley Quinn film

In July 2017, Screen Rant reported that a film featuring the Joker and Harley Quinn was in development, with Leto and Robbie reprising their roles. The film, a spin-off of Suicide Squad, was tentatively given the working-title of Harley Quinn vs. The Joker.[188][189] In August 2017, such a film was confirmed to be in development, with Leto and Robbie reprising their roles, though the film remains untitled. Glenn Ficarra and John Requa are in negotiations to co-write and co-direct the film.[190]
