James Gunn, creator of DC Studios, says upcoming animated series will inspire the building of the new DC Universe.
The DC Universe has barely begun by the most token, and yet there’s already a number of speculations aimed at it. The universal support from the DC fandom has not met the Gunns announcement that the Wonder Woman 3 script was re-announced and would be replaced by Henry Cavill as Superman.
But maybe this word that the DCU would give it a try to inspire from the popular animated cartoons may help ease fans outrage? Keep up the information on this website.

The DC Studios co-founder acknowledged to a fan on Twitter he savorted the DC animated series like Justice League Unlimited and Young Justice in order to start the DCU in collaboration with Peter Safran.
Definitely.

Gunn answered the fan’s question regarding the Justice League and Young Justice animated series. Those two animated books, based on DC Comics properties, should also look at what they mean.
The Justice League and Justice League Unlimited came to an end with the DCAU (DC Animated Universe), which began with Batman: The Animated series.
Gunn and Safran have remained popular after taking the lead in the summer of 2022. The fans initially knew Gunn would continue where he was. The DCEU/Snyderverse is closed. It was recently announced that Henry Cavill was finished as Superman and that the DCU will be taking a different direction with no room for Cavills version. Unfortunately, fans have been frustrated and angry.
However, Gunn defended the decision of the director to replace Cavill. When he is writing the movie for a younger Clark Kent, the director and director at DC Studios told an extraordinary story that they were making choices that were based on what was best for them and what was best for them.
The choices we make for the DCU are the foundation of what we believe to be the best for the story & the best for DC characters who have been around for almost 85 years. Perhaps these decisions are great, perhaps not, but they are made with full respect & reassurance.
The new version of Justice League Unlimited and Young Justice are very popular iterations of DC properties in animated form. As many fans of DC fans say, while Marvel Studios consistently achieved their live action films, DC hasn’t gotten any better at making animated movies and movies out of the park for the longest time.
Justice League Unlimited is the culmination of a “Timm-verse” with Batman: The Animated Series. Justice League Unlimited brought back Kevin Conroy and Kevin Wayne/Batman as well as George Newbern took over Tim Daly’s Superman chores. Their voice talents are divided from 2001-2006 and accumulated five seasons (2001-2006) with Susan Eisenberg and Carl Lumbly in the work and arranged for several systomachy positions.
While a movie was dark, JLU and Young Justice (pictured) had a dark and hopeful tone. Do the DC Universe live action films under James Gunn follow suit?
While Justice League/Justice League Unlimited took liberties interpreting DC Comics a lot, most fans thought that the cartoon world is the most definitive and accurate representation outside of print. Even Zack Snyders Justice League had a real twist from many of the stories explored in the Timm-verse, such as Darkseids’ eagerly-opening mission to help the Superman, and a blind vision of an totalitarian rule under the Man of Steel.
Young Justice is a novel that explores the younger heroes of the DC Universe. Young Justice was launched in 2010 on the Cartoon Network, but has since been running for two seasons, until 2012.
Even though both episodes had dark moments, they are much lighter and hopeful in tone than Snyder or even Gunns own DC projects like The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker. Can this tone also relate to the DC Universe under James Gunn and Safran? We’ll have to let the DC Studios manager reveal their slate in the right detail, if we ask for the answers to that.
Justice League, Literaries Unlimited and Young Justice are both available through HBO Max.
