So no one is following all the DC/DCU/DCEU drama as of the last few months?
I can't remember everything, so I'm just gonna give a quick re-cap off the top of my head.
anyone feel free to jump in and fill in blanks....
James Gunn (and some other guy) get announced as Directors/Architechs of the NewDCU - congrats ::applause::
The Flash has gone mostly silent.... rumors of cameos and spin-offs, but no news of how they plan to handle the problematic Real Life stories surrounding their lead actor....
The Rock HYPES up Black Adam as 10 years in the making.... it doesn't do AVENGERS numbers... Rock gets but hurt about not being able to compete with basic Marvel Movies and doesn't like being compared to BP:WF
The Rock leaks fake numbers to the trades to make it look like BA is gonna be profitable.... gets called out for in in the news. LOL
meanwhile.....
Henry Cavill quits the Witcher supposedly to return as Superman w/ a Cameo in The Flash and at the end of Black Adam.
- He was apparently making $1M a episode for the Witcher? hope it's not too late.
Rumors of a Batman Beyond spin-off (from The Flash) starring Michael Keaton as Old Man Bruce
- also cameos of WW, and other Batman's in The Flash
Gunn (and Safran?) have been quietly sculpting an Outline for the future of the DC Hierarchy (LOL)
apparently, this shift in plans has killed the following items:
- Wonder Woman 3
- WW's cameo in The Flash
- Cavil Superman project
- Cavil's Superman cameo in The Flash
- potential for a Black Adam 2 (and The Rocks involvement with the DCU?*)
- The rumored Batman Beyond Spin-off
- and anything else that hasn't already entered production.... will be re-evaluated.... so all those projects that DC has announced and never got around to actually starting may never come out in the forms they were planning (Green Lantern, Booster Gold, etc etc etc)
But Gunn has announced that he is working on a new Superman script, and it will be about a younger Superman
Aqua-man may now become Lobo in this rebooted NewDCU
The Batman 2 should proceed unimpeded by any plans to enter this grander rebooted NewDCU (shall remain stand-alone for now.... I assume this to also be true about The Joker)
Ben Affleck will likely be directing something in this new DCU
and Henry Cavill is still on good terms... so maybe he'll be back too?
Plans for this New DCU will likely be shared in the next few months, Gunn has stated he would liketo focus on some more obscure characters (outside of his "young" Superman movie), is very vocal about slapping down false rumors on Twitter... or Mastadon... or whatever other new Social Media is happening out there due to other unrelated craziness out there right now.

p.s. The Rock is apparently so upset with WB's changing of the Heirarchy of the DCU, that he has unfollowed WB and Black Adam on Twitter. :LOL:
p.p.s. The Rock apparently also turned down opportunities to appear in Shazam as Black Adam, but I guess he only respects Superman as a potential opponent, and wants nothing to do with Shazam....
I guess it doesn't matter now, as he will have nothing to do with Shazam, Black Adam, DC, and probably WB for a while.
Did I miss anything important
