James Gunn Criticizes Lazy Superhero Movies and Joins DC After Spectacular Missteps.
James Gunn, the Co-CEO of DC Studios, discussed the challenges he knew he would face when he accepted the role, citing "spectacular missteps" in the past. The DC Universe's first phase will include a variety of movies and TV shows, including the Gunn-directed Superman: Legacy and a Batman and Robin-focused movie called The Brave and the Bold. Two more films green-lit under Walter Hamada's regime, Blue Beetle and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, are set to debut later this year.
