Screen Rant - DC Universe https://screenrant.com The DC Universe is one of the biggest comic book franchises and often competes with Marvel. DC Comics started as National Allied Publications, founded by Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson in 1935. Since then, the franchise has exploded with thousands of comic books, movies, TV shows, and video games. 2013 marked the beginning of the most recent iteration of the superheroes, with Zack Snyder introducing Henry Cavill as Superman. After several movies with mixed reviews, DC underwent a soft reboot under the helm of James Gunn and Peter Safran.

<![CDATA[James Gunn's Superman: Legacy Filming Start & Plot Synopsis Revealed]]> Just as the DCEU is coming to an end with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the plot synopsis and filming details for the debut movie of James Gunn's DCU reboot, Superman: Legacy, have been revealed.

<![CDATA[Aquaman 2's Rotten Tomatoes Score Debut Is Worse Than 2017's Justice League & Every Other 2023 DC Movie]]> It is a rocky start for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, as the debut score on Rotten Tomatoes for the DCEU's swansong movie has it sitting below Justice League and every other DC movie released in 2023. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom was always going to have a difficult time as interest in the DCEU waned after the announcement of the DCU reboot. The sting of a disappointing box office performance, however, will now be intensified by the poor reviews.

<![CDATA[Everything We Know About Aquaman 3]]> Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has led to questions about Aquaman 3, a film with a less-than-certain future. When watching the DCEU movies in order, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom technically counts as the final entry. Aquaman 2 is the final DCEU film before James Gunn's DCU movie and TV slate comes into play in 2024, essentially rebooting the DC Universe on film.

<![CDATA[Aquaman & The Lost Kingdom's First Reviews Are In]]> Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom reviews are officially out as critics give their thoughts on the final DCEU movie. With James Gunn's DC Universe approaching, the DCEU franchise is reaching the end of its decade-long run. While it may not have been planned to be the final DCEU film, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, featuring Jason Momoa once again as Arthur Curry, will be the last time audience members get to follow this particular version of DC in live-action.

<![CDATA[Aquaman & The Lost Kingdom Review: The DCEU's Final Movie Proves Why DC Needed A Reboot]]> As someone who enjoyed the hell out of the first Aquaman movie, I expected to like Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and I did, mostly, but this is a sequel that's trying too hard to recapture the accidental magic of its predecessor. The problem is that the film wants to be too many things. It wants to be an action/adventure that takes its characters to exciting locales, a heart-warming story of family, an incisive commentary on global warming, and a cautionary tale of how vengeance can consume a person. It also wants to be a commercial for Guinness beer and motorcycles and whatever else Jason Momoa seemingly finds cool.

<![CDATA[2024’s Most Anticipated Movie Villain Proves The DCU Needs Elseworlds]]> The DC Universe needs its new Elseworlds label, as proved by whom the most anticipated movie villain of 2024 is. As DC Studios co-CEOs, James Gunn and Peter Safran are in charge of charting the next ten years of upcoming DC movies, series, animation, and video games set in the DCU. While the duo will have plenty of work with all the announced projects for the DC Universe's Chapter One — with even more movies and series kept secret for the moment — DC adaptations will not be limited to DCU-only offerings.
