Welcome back everyone
it's Charlie, James Gun recently revealed the first new Justice League movies that are going to take place
inside the rebooted DCU movies, meaning they'll feature all the new Justice League
characters and actors like David Corenswet's Superman, so we'll break it all down
they're actually a couple of Justice League movies happening this year, but I'm mostly talking about like
the brand new DCU, Justice League movies.
I'll explain all of them during the video, though.
We also found out about this new Justice
League movie when we were in the middle of finding out about a new Batman Beyond movie.
So we'll talk about that later in the video, too, because it does sound pretty cool.
Like hell yes. Do more Batman beyond
Seven against two.
Pretty bad odds
for them.
if you're brand new to the channel, be sure to subscribe to get all the videos.
There's a bunch of big stuff coming up.
We are getting a bunch of DC stuff in the new DCU new set later this year.
we have the Penguin HBO series, which is going to be live action set in Robert Pattinson's Batman universe.
That will be elseworlds but the Creature Commandos animated series will be like
the first official DCU thing that actually happens that'll be airing later this year.
of course I will do videos for it.
The whole idea with creature commandos is that it's meant to take place at the beginning
of this new DCU timeline or the earliest in the timeline that will have seen that new Superman
movie will be the first new live action thing that actually takes place in the DCU.
but part of the idea here and this will get into the new Justice League movies, too, is that
everybody in the new DCU movies like James Gunn's Rebooted
Universe are meant to play the characters, whether it's in live action or an animation,
the same way that Marvel has been doing recently with his Disney
Plus TV shows, with all the movie actors coming back to play their characters on the TV shows
and most of them in animation, like on the What If series,
this is so you don't have like
five different versions of all the characters between the TV shows and the movies.
It's one of the reasons why they just canceled the Superman Lois TV show.
So there aren't two different live action versions of Superman running concurrently.
the only real exceptions that they're allowing to this right now are Robert Pattinson's Batman movies.
that can always change in the future.
Like they could always say that
he's part of the DCU at some point, but I'm not going to hold my breath for that.
I think they'll just cast a different actor when they get to a Batman Brave in the Bold.
even the new video games that they're making are supposed to be canon
to most of the live action stuff that they're going to be doing in the movies.
but here's where we bring things back around to the new Justice League movies that James Gunn is making.
There's the regular live action Justice League with all the new characters.
It's going to look very different
from Zack Snyder's Justice League, which is mostly based on the Silver Age lineup.
There were a couple of characters like Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern
that were part of the Silver Age Justice League that they worked in during the Snyder cut
they would become bigger team members during Justice League two, Justice League three.
Had he finished his trilogy.
usually that's the version of the Justice League that you think of when people talk about the Justice League.
James Gunn's version of this new Justice League roster will be a little bit different.
But that live action Justice League will not actually be his first new Justice League movie
is actually going to be in animated Justice League movie based on the Jurassic League.
And since the live action actors all voiced their characters in animation or they're supposed to,
it sounds like what are going to be an interesting introduction to their team-up
The Jurassic League is an alternate universe version of the Justice League characters who are evolved
dinosaurs, who gain the powers of the classic Justice League characters and have similar personalities,
similar villains, similar backstories, sort of like an alternate reality.
Is Earth 27 in the comics?
where all their back stories have the same vibes as the original back stories.
But all the major comic book heroes and villains are dinosaurs.
it's totally new. Like it's brand new.
They just debuted in the comics in the past two years and I believe they planned to do
it is an adaptation of those characters comic book origin story.
They didn't announce a specific release date, but it sounds like it'll be 2026, 20, 27.
in while that's happening, James Gunn will slowly be rolling out the new versions
of all the live action Justice League characters, again with new actors, a lot of them are debuting
in this new Superman movie, but not all of them Superman, obviously the foundation of the team,
which is why he's starting the DCU Justice League by establishing his character first.
It's a smart move if you're Superman and does not work like it.
People don't care about your Superman.
Your Justice League will not work.
People will not care about any of those movies.
I think it is a smart move of James Gunn to try and get his Superman
right before he tries to do any kind of Justice League stuff.
the other new Justice League characters that are debuting during that are Green Lantern
Hawkgirl, Mister Terrific, who I think the James Gunn is going
to use as a replacement for Cyborg on the team, like a stand in for what
Zack Snyder did with the Cyborg character, probably for a couple of reasons.
Like not only to differentiate him, like make the team itself feel different,
but also it's probably way cheaper to actually do Mr.
Terrific on screen because Cyborg is like an entire special like it's expensive.
It's like doing the Hulk in the Avengers movies.
That's why a lot of time you don't see Hulk walking around in Hulk form
And even though Supergirl is supposed to appear in the new Superman movie, at some point,
she's not an actual Justice League team member.
She's more of a legion of superheroes character and just does her own thing just in general.
the next major Justice League characters are introducing will be the new DCU version
of Batman and Brave in The Bold.
Like is that I don't think that they're going to make it
the Robert Pattinson Batman, even though a lot of people have speculated on that.
Like why don't they just say
at the end of his second movie or third movie he's going to join the DCU characters.
It'd be super easy the way that James Gunn has talked about it.
It's meant to be a slightly older version of Batman, who's old enough to have Damian Wayne
and for him to have grown up enough to become a version of Robin, that new Batman movie
is supposed to come out one year after Superman Legacy funny enough to Robert Pattinson's Batman
to also coming out in 2025, the same year that Superman is coming out.
all the other Justice League characters we know about are the new version
of Wonder Woman with a totally new actress, not going to be Gal Gadot,
who probably will not debut until the year after the new Batman comes out.
Maybe later.
Like you can kind of see the way that he's staggering the release of all these big, big A-list
Justice League characters and the new version of The Flash,
which probably will be the last new member of the team he introduces, I think for obvious reasons,
like just give it a little bit of a breather, a little bit of time to go by.
People forget a little bit about Ezra miller Flash,
funny enough to people wanting Grant Gustin
to come back in the new DCU movies as a version of a flash, like maybe a new Jay Garrick.
James Gunn even said that he wanted him to come back at some point,
like he would love to work with him in Grant Gustin was like, I totally trust James Gunn.
Of course I would do anything that he asked me to do.
So Grant Gustin is down to come back in any role, not just the flash,
but like any role that James Gunn would want him to do in James Gunn is down to bring him back.
But when he cast the new main version of Flash, whether that be Barry Allen or a version of Wally West
are going to be a totally new actor, it will not be Grant Gustin on that new version of the Justice League.
they'll probably be other characters who have been on versions of the Justice League
over the years that probably won't join the team till the sequels in success.
Look, you have to remember that if things go well with this phase one, phase two of the new DC movies,
they continue.
We'll get a Justice League too, with this roster.
They'll continue to add characters to the team.
It's literally the exact same scenario from the Avengers movies through phase one, Phase two,
Phase three.
They started with the six core members by the time we got to Avengers Endgame,
there were a ton of people calling themselves Avengers like they were lousy with Avengers.
one of the big ways James Gunn seems like he's making his new Justice League
feel totally different from Zack Snyder's Justice League.
Not only enlightened by just that, the way the movies actually feel is changing
the roster of the team and making it resemble the animated Justice League a little more.
Not exactly, but pretty close.
end, the core inciting incident like the actual story that will cause new Superman Batman,
Wonder Woman to come together and formed the Justice League will be totally different,
and it sounds like it's going to have something to do with the new plot that they're setting up
on the Green Lantern HBO series that they're making right now.
The brand new Superman movie is mostly meant to establish all the new characters
and give you a vibe for what the universe is going to be like.
Maybe there'll be a post-credits scene with some teasers in the movie to the larger plot
threads like a Nick Fury Avengers Post-Credits scene with the first Iron Man movie Superman.
Did you think you were the only superhero out there?
You're part of a larger world.
I'm here to talk to you about the Justice League initiative.
That Green Lantern HBO series is meant to be more like True Detective with DC characters,
where they're investigating a mystery that affects the entire universe.
All the characters up to Superman, Okay.
The next thing is a big premiere HBO television series called Lantern.
This is a story of a couple of Green Lanterns, Jon Stewart and Hal Jordan.
And we have a few other lanterns peppered in there.
But this is really a terrestrial based TV show, which is almost like true detective
with a couple of green lanterns who are space cops watching over precinct Earth.
In it, they discover a terrifying mystery
that ties into our larger story of the DCU.
whatever the problem is that they're learning about during
that will probably be part of the reason why the new Justice League forms.
They uncover some epic threat that requires a Justice League.
lot of, you know, asking what are they going to do for the actual story?
The new Justice League movies, the first live action one will probably swerve on the characters
and story that Zack Snyder already did just to be totally different.
like the great threat to Earth probably will not involve dark side in the forces of apocalypse.
It won't have anything to do with the mother boxes or Jack Kirby's Fourth World characters like the New Gods.
But we will probably eventually see some of the Fourth World characters show up in the DC movies.
really good example of that is that Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow.
That movie is going to be a space based movie, so there'll be space based stuff happening.
but I think the new Justice League movie is actually going to start with a more Earth based threat.
And my assumption is that Lex Luther
will have a bigger part in it, even if he himself is not the main villain of that movie.
Just based on what Nicholas Hoult and James Gunn have said about his new Lex is
they'll develop his character a little more in the vibe of Michael Rosenbaum's Lex Luther from Smallville,
Nicolas, you work with Clint Eastwood.
That's very excited to have you on the podcast.
Today is going to be a great time.
Thank you for having me.
And congratulations on Lex Luthor.
Happy to be here with you.
All right.
really doesn't start out being evil or the main villain.
He doesn't start out hating Superman, wanting him dead, doing all kinds of psychotic stuff,
Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor.
Kind of skipped that, went straight to huge villain right away in Batman v Superman.
there are a lot of things that they skipped in the original version of them putting the Justice
League together while they're working on all the new live action Justice League stuff.
They're also in the middle of releasing the new Justice League crisis on Infinite Earths movies this year.
Multiple movies count them.
There are three parts they're about to release. Part two.
Part three is supposed to come out later this year.
the whole idea with those movies is they're adapting Crisis on Infinite Earths
with the tomorrow verse version of characters, and they're sort of using it as a way
to close down the Tomorrow verse and reboot into James Gunn's new continuity of animated stuff.
a couple of years ago, they did the exact same thing with the DCU, the DC Animated Universe using Justice
League Apokolips War to reboot into the tomorrow verse line of continuity.
the actress who plays Supergirl during the tomorrow verse movies, the animated movies,
even audition for the new live action Supergirl she lost out to Millie Alcock.
So it sounds like Millie Alcock was just a better actress in general, But that would have been funny.
Like her playing the old animated version of Supergirl to playing the new live action version
All those crisis on Infinite Earths movies, though, will not be canon to the brand new stuff.
James Gunn posted all this stuff about Peacemaker Season
two and how all the canon of the new DC stuff is going to work.
It's a little complicated, so if I do any Peacemaker videos in the next couple of months,
I will talk about it during that For the most part, I think they're designing things so that when you go
in, you watch the new animated stuff, in the new movies, you don't have to know
what happened before to understand the new stuff in.
Just address that Batman beyond movie that we learn about.
There were a couple first look images, some concept art that the people that were making the movie posed,
and they said that they were trying to pitch it to Warner Brothers, but they'd actually been turned down.
There's a good chance that it eventually might get made, but it sounds like it won't.
essentially it was.
They're making a Batman Beyond movie look a little bit more like Spider-Man across the Spider-Verse
like in that animation style, but like a Blade Runner type of movie with the Batman beyond characters.
the only reason why they would tell them, no, you can't make this
even though it does look really, really cool is probably just because they don't
want a ton of different versions of Batman beyond what they already had planned.
Coming up in the movies.
like the fact that they have the Robert Pattinson Batman in his movies in the new live
action Batman Brave in the Bold movie with that version is already too many Batman.
Usually.
The silver lining with stuff like this
though, is that there is a really solid idea that isn't right for right now.
They can just do it eventually at some point.
So like they can always just put it on a shelf and just dusted off when it is the right time to do it.
they were even going to
make a live action Batman beyond movie with Michael Keaton's Batman.
Like, there were all those Oscars jokes in the last couple of days with Danny DeVito
in Arnold Schwarzenegger, joking about their Batman movies with Michael Keaton,
even though Arnold Schwarzenegger technically fought, George Clooney
Michael Keaton was asked about it recently.
He said, Never say never. So there is always a chance.
But because they've started shooting the new Superman movie
We sort of get some footage from the sets
If anything really cool winds up releasing
Of course I will do videos for it
