DC Just Made One Classic Villain"s Origin Story Even More Messed Up 37 Years Later

:0:1

After the first project in the new DC Universe, the studio"s next 2025 entry has just made a classic villain"s story more tragic than it is in the comics. James Gunn"s DCU started at the end of last year with Creature Commandos. The TV-MA animated series focuses on a team of villains — some not as violent as others — who assemble as Amanda Waller"s replacement for the Suicide Squad. This allowed DC to add many exciting villains to the DCU right from the start, which is very important for the franchise"s future.
After all, a superhero movie or TV show is only as good as its villain. Prior DC releases have had amazing heroes, but with poor choices for a villain, even acclaimed versions of classic DC characters, like Christopher Reeve"s Superman, have struggled. DC has both unredeemable villains and others that only turned to evil due to tragic circumstances. That happens to be the case of a major character from Batman"s corner of DC Comics. While the villain has yet to be announced for DC"s upcoming movies, the studio"s most recent release has made changes to their origin story.

After Creature Commandos, the next project from DC before James Gunn"s Superman movie is one that was created years before Gunn even joined DC. Harley Quinn has returned for season 5, and Max"s TV-MA animated series finally delved deeper into one of its main characters. The DC series focuses on Harley and Poison Ivy"s relationship. After the duo moved from Gotham to Metropolis in the season 5 premiere, episode 2 saw Ivy start a new chapter in her life. The character is the head of the Metropolis Green Initiative, but she encounters Jason Woodrue, a person from her past there.
