The DCU is secretly already making up for 2011"s infamous movie flop via the controversial introduction of the franchise"s first Green Lantern character. In December 2024, the DCU"s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters got underway with Creature Commandos. Creature Commandos" many DCU Easter eggs massively expanded the franchise in only its first entry, setting up installments to come via characters, cameos, and even outright appearances from major comic heroes like Batman.
After Creature Commandos, the next true step in the DCU is James Gunn"s Superman movie. More than anything else, Superman has been billed as the official beginning of the franchise, meaning many references to other heroes and upcoming DCU movies and shows are expected. One way in which Superman will tease what is to come in the future is by the introduction of a Green Lantern. Ironically, the controversy surrounding this Green Lantern character is the perfect way for DC Studios to subtly make up for 2011"s flop movie, Green Lantern, starring Ryan Reynolds.
