The DC Extended Universe (DCEU) is an American media franchise and shared fictional universe that is centered on a series of superhero films, produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and based on characters that appear in publications by DC Comics. The shared universe, much like the original DC Universe in comic books, will be established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters.[1]

The first film released in the DCEU was Man of Steel (2013), a reboot of the Superman film series. The next film to be released will be Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), followed by Suicide Squad (2016), with both in post-production and Wonder Woman (2017), which is currently filming. Other films in development include, The Flash (2018), Aquaman (2018), Shazam (2019), Cyborg (2020), Green Lantern Corps (2020), and a two-part Justice League film, with Part One releasing in 2017, and Part Two in 2019. Warner Bros. has also announced a sequel to Man of Steel and a stand-alone Batman film, with the intent for both to be released before 2020. All films are being distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Development

The first attempt at a cinematic universe began in 1998 for Superman Lives. The film was supposed to be written by Kevin Smith[2] and directed by Tim Burton. The film was set to feature Nicolas Cage as Superman.[3] The script had Brainiac sending Doomsday to kill Superman, as well as blocking out the sun to make Superman powerless, as Superman is fueled by sunlight. Brainiac teams up with Lex Luthor, but Superman is resurrected by a Kryptonian robot, the Eradicator. Brainiac wishes to possess the Eradicator and its technology. Powerless, the resurrected Superman is sheathed in armor formed from the Eradicator itself until his powers return, courtesy of sunbeams, and defeats Brainiac. Michael Keaton was originally set to reprise his role as Batman from Burton's Batman films, making the attempt at a shared universe.[4] The film was later cancelled.

Akiva Goldsman's draft for the unproduced Batman vs. Superman featured Bruce Wayne coming out of a five year retirement as Batman and coming into conflict with Superman.[5] Christian Bale, who was being considered for the lead in Darren Aronofsky's Batman: Year One adaptation at the time,[6] was simultaneously approached by Peterson for the Superman role. Peterson confirmed in a 2010 interview the only other actor he approached for Superman was Josh Hartnett.[7] Warner Bros. canceled development to focus on individual Superman and Batman projects after Abrams submitted another draft for Superman: Flyby.[8] Christopher Nolan would later cast Bale as Batman the following year in Batman Begins.

In February 2007, it was announced that Warner Bros hired husband and wife duo Michele and Kieran Mulroney to write a script for a Justice League film.[9] The news came around the same that Joss Whedon's long-developed Wonder Woman film had been canceled,[10] as well as The Flash, written and directed by David S. Goyer.[11] Reportedly titled Justice League: Mortal,[12] Michele and Kiernan Mulroney submitted their script to Warner Bros. in June 2007, receiving positive feedback,[13] which prompted the studio to immediately fast track production in the hopes of filming to begin before the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike.[14] Warner Bros. was less willing to proceed on development with a sequel to Superman Returns, having been disappointed with the box office return. Brandon Routh was not approached to reprise the role of Superman in Justice League Mortal,[15] nor was Christian Bale.[16] Warner Bros. intended for Justice League: Mortal to be the start of a new film franchise, and to branch out into separate sequels and spin-offs.

On January 1, 2014 it was revealed that Warner Bros. intended to launch another attempt at a cinematic universe a few years earlier, which would have started with the 2011 film Green Lantern. The script for The Flash was being written in 2011 by Green Lantern writers Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim, with the post-credits scene featuring Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) meeting The Flash.[17] The film was then cancelled due to the critical and box office disappointment of Green Lantern.

After the 2011 Green Lantern film underperformed, a reboot of Superman was greenlit, which resulted in 2013's Man of Steel, and plans were made to have the film contain references to other characters in DC Universe, so if the film was a success, it would launch a shared universe with other characters that appeared in DC Comics, similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[18][19] On June 10, 2013, it was announced that director Zack Snyder and screenwriter David S. Goyer will both be returning for a Man of Steel sequel which is being fast tracked by Warner Bros. Goyer had previously signed a three-film deal, which includes Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and a Justice League film featuring Superman. On July 20, 2013, Zack Snyder confirmed at San Diego Comic-Con International that the sequel to Man of Steel in 2016 will have Superman and Batman meeting for the first time in a cinematic format.

In October 2014, Warner Bros. announced the titles and release dates for nine films, along with some casting information.[20] Also in the month, 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."[21] In June 2015, Greg Silverman expanded on DC's approach to their cinematic universe, saying, "We have a great strategy for the DC films, which is to 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 Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, Justice League and all the things that we are working on." Additionally, Silverman explained DC's method of hiring multiple writers for upcoming projects by stating, "Every project is different. On some projects, we have multiple writers working together. In some cases, we put writers together who have never been a team together. And sometimes, there is only one writer whose voice is right."[22]

The universe has commonly been called the "DC Cinematic Universe" by fans and the media, in contrast to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[23][24] In November 2014, Newsarama referred to the universe as the "DC Cinematic Multiverse",[25] while the DC Comics website informally referred to the universe as the "DC Cinematic Universe" in December 2014.[26] In July 2015, in an announcement for their San Diego Comic-Con International preview issue online, Entertainment Weekly referred to the films as existing in the "DC Extended Universe™".[27] However, in the issue, Entertainment Weekly did not use the term, instead called the October 2014 reveal of 10 films over the next five years "a blueprint for an extended universe."[28] At the end of July, the release of the September 2015 issue of Empire confirmed the universe name as the "DC Extended Universe".[29][30]

Raised by his adoptive parents Jonathan and Martha Kent, Kent must adopt the persona "Superman", and learn if his abilities are meant to maintain peace or conquer the world.[31]

In June 2008, Warner Bros. took pitches from comic book writers, screenwriters and directors on how to successfully restart the Superman film series.[32] During story discussions for The Dark Knight Rises in 2010, David S. Goyer told Christopher Nolan his idea regarding how to present Superman in a modern context.[33] Impressed with Goyer's concept, Nolan pitched the idea to the studio,[33] who hired Nolan to produce and Goyer to write based on the financial and critical success of The Dark Knight.[34][35] Zack Snyder was hired in October 2010 to direct the film.[36] Henry Cavill was cast as Superman in January 2011.[37] Principal photography began on August 1, 2011[38] The film had its world premiere in the United States on June 10, 2013,[39] and was released on June 14, 2013.[40]

Other potential projects

Besides the current and upcoming films, Warner Bros. have revealed other films based on characters published by DC Comics to be in development and several filmmakers have announced to be working on it, with all the films being distributed by Warner Bros.[139] such as a Green Arrow or Hawkman adaptation, some filmmakers are serving now as part of the production crew (such as writers, producers and executive producers) of some of the current films in the shared universe; There are some references shown in the first film released in the shared universe (Man of Steel) alluding to the existence of other superheroes as well some of the characters of these undeveloped films, with an possible establishment within the universe (except the upcoming Man of Steel sequel is already set to be in the shared universe).[140][141] Until then neither Warner Bros. nor the filmmakers have given word of confirmation to its production and announcement of its release. Several of the films are of the following:

  • In August 2008, David S. Goyer and Justin Marks who previously was set to write Suicide Squad, penned a script for a film featuring Green Arrow originally called Super Max. On June 5, 2008, the film was retitled Green Arrow: Escape from Super Max. The reported storyline stated that the hero (framed for a crime he did not commit) must escape a high security prison filled with A, B, and C list villains and rogue superheroes. Marks said that Black Canary would not be making an appearance in the film, and that it would include references to the Riddler, Lex Luthor, and the Joker. Shortly after this news broke, the final script for the film leaked online.[142]
  • On September 2, 2009, Warner Bros. announced that Guy Ritchie would direct a live-action feature film of Lobo. Variety described the premise: "Lobo is a seven-foot tall, blue-skinned, indestructible, and heavily-muscled anti-hero who drives a pimped out motorcycle, and lands on Earth in search of four fugitives who are bent on wreaking havoc. Lobo teams with a small town teenage girl to stop the creatures."[143] Ritchie was scheduled to begin production of Lobo in early 2010. In January 2010, it was reported that Ritchie had left the project in order to pursue working on a sequel to his hit film Sherlock Holmes instead.[144] In 2012, Deadline reported that Brad Peyton would write and direct the film.[145] In July 2012, Dwayne Johnson announced via Twitter that he was in talks with Joel Silver and Brad Peyton to portray Lobo.[146] As of February 18, 2013, Johnson had left the project.[147] Johnson is now set to play the DC Comics villain Black Adam in the upcoming film Shazam, set in the shared universe.[132]
  • In May 2011, it was reported that Warner Bros. is in the process of hiring writers to pen a Hawkman film.[148] In the comic book prequel to Man of Steel, the Katar Hol's Hawk-man alien race, The Thanagarians, are mentioned by a member of the Kryptonian Council of Five as a "barbaric race". This confirmed the Thanagarians' existence in the DC Extended Universe.
  • In January 2013, Guillermo del Toro confirmed that he is working on a film with the working title, Dark Universe, based on the DC Comics superhero team Justice League Dark and is hiring a screenwriter for the film. Del Toro revealed Swamp Thing, John Constantine, The Spectre, Deadman, Zatanna, and Zatara were characters in the story.[149] The film's story would center around Constantine recruiting Swamp Thing, Etrigan the Demon, Deadman, Spectre, and Zatanna. The film would not be an origin story, with each character already established and elements of their backstory coming into play throughout the film.[150] In May 2013, del Toro revealed that his script features Constantine, Swamp Thing, Madame Xanadu, Deadman, and Zatanna as the team, with others "in the mix." He also revealed that he was still waiting for the go-ahead from Warner Bros. Pictures.[151] Del Toro revealed in an interview that he hopes the DC Extended Universe, which started with Man of Steel, will become as cohesive as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and he added that if there was any correlation to that universe and this film, he would honor it.[152] In November 2014, del Toro confirmed that the script was complete and handed it in to Warner Bros. to be reviewed.[153] In December 2014, del Toro revealed that the film would be a part of the DC Extended Universe.[154] In June 2015, Del Toro left the project and the film is being produced by New Line Cinema along with Sandman and other adaptations of comics that were released under DC's Vertigo imprint.[155] In June 2015, the film was confirmed to still be in development at Warner Bros., with some of their other Vertigo Comics film adaptions moving to New Line Cinema.
