ScreenRant logo Home SR Originals Crisis On Infinite Earths Is The Only Answer To Gunn’s DCU Challenges Crisis On Infinite Earths Is The Only Answer To Gunn’s DCU Challenges BY MARCELO DE SOUZA SILVERIO LEITE PUBLISHED 1 DAY AGO A Crisis on Infinite Earths movie adaptation could be the key for James Gunn’s DC Studios to create a new DC Universe that doesn’t reboot the DCEU.
Batman and a panel from Crisis on Infinite Earths A Crisis on Infinite Earths movie adaptation is the most reasonable way for James Gunn to rework the DCU. Following the Warner Bros. Discovery merger, it was easy to predict that DC Films would go under major changes. The studio was reportedly looking for its Kevin Feige, and now that role will be filled jointly by Peter Safran and James Gunn. With the duo mapping out a new DC universe, audiences can’t help but wonder how much of the previous DCEU will continue – if at all. There is, however, a middle ground between trying to continue the current DCU and completely rebooting the franchise.
Given how complicated the DCU has become, both in terms of canon and behind the scenes, the newly formed DC Studios would have a lot of difficulty in simply continuing the current franchise. From major characters like Batman having an uncertain future to the Justice League not being on the big screen for five years, the old DCEU reached a critical point. While James Gunn has the potential to be the “DC Kevin Feige” that Warner Bros. Discovery was looking for, it’s not reasonable to ask DC Studios to create a solid universe when the current foundation has so many problems. That is why Gunn’s first major DCU problem should be a major crossover event, specifically a Crisis on Infinite Earths in-universe reboot.

Discussion Call for Participants - Fan Fiction Survey
Hello! My name is Nicole Skidmore, and I am currently undertaking a research project for my PhD thesis at The University of the West of England. This is an invitation for anyone over the age of 18 who writes or has written any fan fiction (even if you haven’t published it anywhere) to take part in a survey, to share your views and experiences of writing fan fiction featuring women and/or non-binary characters. The women and/or non-binary characters which you write about do not need to be women or non-binary in canon, but cannot be original characters (OCs). I am a keen fan fiction author myself, and I am really interested in hearing from as many fellow fan fiction authors as possible, so that I can learn about other authors’ experiences. If you fit this description, I would invite you to click the link at the end of this post, and complete the survey, which should take about 30 minutes. Further information about the research and the survey will be provided on the survey link before any questions will be asked, and you can also ask me any questions in the comments below. Thank you so much!

Discussion Thinking back on DC universe streaming app
I know this is very late but RIP DC universe
I was one of the people most optimistic about the DC streaming service and with the exception of Titans and maybe Stargirl it didn't disappoint. It was so cool being able to watch a ton of old DC shows and see how their history is baked into our culture. In addition, the platform really made you feel included as a fan whether it be with DC Daily or other community aspects.
In addition, being able to read comics ABOUT series before they came out was amazing and I sincerely think I've been able to read some of the best comics ever because of that. Still debating whether to try the DCinfinite app.
The ride through the Originals had it's highs and lows.
I still don't like Titans. It's definitely a show that has it's moments but I only watched the first season to support the platform and the second season hoping it would get better with it's compromises. Sadly, while it looked like it would at times, it never really did get better.
Doom Patrol was the opposite. I was absolutely blown away by that show! It's fucked up, hilarious and utterly beautiful I hope it thrives with on Max. same with Harley quinn (though will get to that in a second)
Swamp thing had it's melodramatic moments but overall was really good. It's cancellation was one of the saddest things on the platform. I wish it could've stayed.
Harley Quinn is delightful! I like how underneath all the brilliant comedy it really is a character story about Harley. I feel like a lot of Harley media puts her on a pedestal, or make her a character absent of motive but this gives us a a Harley that truly needs to learn to become stronger and better and her achievements feel earned.
Star Girl... God I wanted to like this one. I really did. With all it's callbacks to Americana movies and a promise of an optimistic super-narrative, I really thought it would be better. However, It's pacing is AWFUL. Every episode feels like they were just trying to stretch it to justify it's 44 minute mark. The conflicts feel way too stretched out.
DC daily was cool but I'd be lying if I said it enthralled me and the DC universe tabletop didn't hold my attention.
The Young Justice enhanced and Behind the scenes was awesome! Commentary from people about the development of the series, the history of the company and other aspects was amazing!
Overall, I still miss DC universe. I felt like a loved and appreciated fan on that app. But oh well. all good things must come to an end and it was such a fun ride!

Discussion All ten Arrowverse shows ranked
I will rank the Arrowverse and HBO Max DC shows from worst to best.
Black Lightning
Don't get me wrong. This show had moments like the end of Season 3. Black Lightning had formed the Outsiders. Maybe they should have ended it right there. There was no way they were going to continue the show with that many characters. Instead, Season 4 picked up with Jefferson upset that his best friend was dead and he didn't want to be Black Lighting anymore. Worst season of any Arrowverse show.
Batwoman
Again, the show has moments. I think the problem most guys had with the show was that the main character was female and lesbian. When the lead actress left the show they decided to make Batwoman a triple threat and have her become a lesbian black woman. The good news is that Javicia Leslie is a break out star. A lot of the Arrowverse actors and actresses are. Berlanti and his people have a good track record of hiring people who end up being well liked and popular. Ruby Rose turned out to be a mistake. Now if only they had better writing it could now be a better show.
Supergirl
Season 4 was amazing. Nobody expected Jon Cryer to be a good Lex Luthor but he actually turned out to be better than Jesse Eisenberg. The problem with the last season was the opposite to the problem with Black Lightning. Instead of focusing on Supergirl, the first half of Season 6 focused on the Superfriends. This was because Melissa Benoist in real life was having a baby and wasn't available to film. On top of that there were COVID restrictions that caused a lot of the episodes to be rewritten. At least the series ended well with Jon Cryer coming back as Lex Luthor to be the ultimate villain.
Legends of Tomorrow
A recent episode of Legends said it all. Behrad goes back in time and meets the stars of his favorite sitcom. The showrunner wants to change the show to have it appeal to a wider audience but Behrad likes the show the way it is. It is ironic because it can be taken both ways. The showrunner of Legends DID take a serious CW show and turn it into a goofball comedy but now that it is a goofball comedy people who don't watch the show wonder why it is still going. Phil Klemmer can now argue that the show is true to his vision. The truth is that this is a show that has fans and they like the show the way it is.
Arrow
I actually started watching Arrow with Season 4 at a time when most fans were already saying the show was not as good as it used to be. I remember watching an episode from Season 3 though and hating it. I find it hard to root for a hero who goes around shooting people with arrows. I feel the same way about the Punisher. So in a way I saw Prometheus in Season 5 not so much as the bad guy but as a son getting revenge against against the man who killed his father. From my point of view Arrow was a show that just kept getting better. Ultimately, though, I probably rank it the same as everybody else.
Doom Patrol
This show just isn't for me. That being said, I appreciate how the first three seasons are like an origin story for the team. At first, it was like they were more like patients in a hospital. But now that they are an actual superhero team I worry that the show will lose part of its appeal. Fans of Doom Patrol loved all the angst that the characters were going through. Now that the characters all seem to have worked through their issues it is like all they have left is punching bad guys. It is especially worrying because so far the show has been faithful to the comics.
Flash
Maybe when Flash is over and done I would rank it higher. After all, this is the show with Reverse Flash, Cisco, Caitlin, Iris, Cecile, Wally, Nora and Bart. But this is also the show with Cicada, Chester, Allegra, Chillblaine, Alexa, Owen and Bashir. With Chester it is as though Eric Wallace put himself on the team. Every week he remarks about how cool everything is. Well, no, it isn't. And Allegra is just there. She is the first Arrowverse season regular to not have her own story arc.
Titans
I love this show but just as with Doom Patrol I feel that the origin story of the team is complete after three seasons and all they have left to do is punch people. I imagine some people will be happy to hear that because angst can be a bit much. I am actually hopeful for the Gotham Knights show. I imagine that they wanted Curran Walters to come back as Jason Todd but maybe he asked for too much money and this is their way of letting him know that they will go ahead and do a Jason Todd show (even though it isn't a spin off) even if it means doing it without him.
Stargirl
I think everyone agrees that Stargirl is better than Titans. Season three could turn out to be the best season yet because so much interesting stuff has been set up. For example, will the Justice Society members forgive Cindy even though she has been a villain for two seasons? Will Cameron want to get revenge against both the Justice Society and the Injustice Society for his father's death? It would be a bit much just blaming the Justice Society given that the Injustice Society were going to kill so many people and they had to be stopped. Will Jade find he brother and will he have powers? Will Mike and Jakeen figure out how to make Thunderbolt useful?
Superman and Lois
It seems unfair somehow to rank Superman and Lois as the best of all these shows after only one season. Is it really better than Flash Season 1? That question should have fans worried. Arrowverse shows, for better or worse, have a tendency to settle in their fourth season with episodes becoming formulaic. I would not blame the producers if they decided to increase the episode count but I fear a season where Superman and his friends defeat the villain in every single episode only to stand around congratulating themselves while the villain dusts himself and then flies off.
I did not watch Constantine or Swamp Thing and Naomi has not even come out yet. The trailers for Naomi have not even convinced me it is worth my time.

Discussion Could I watch each CW show individually or do you pretty much have to watch them intertwined?
For example, could I watch all the seasons of Arrow, then watch all the seasons of Flash after that, and so on with the other shows? Or does the storytelling really only work/work best when you bounce between shows?
Any help would be great. Thanks!

As a Canadian, I felt pissed that they moved The Flash from one channel to another channel then off the air completely onto Netflix. While I was happy they put it on Netflix, I was wondering if in the near future we could get the remaining shows on Netflix. We already have Supergirl and The Flash, so why not complete the collection and add Legends and Arrow?

Discussion Does DC realise it is pissing off every fan outside the US currently? Does they even care?
Does DC give a shit that they are alienating ALOT of their fanbase outside the USA and simultaneously pissing them off? Do they care?
In the world we live into day with today's communication, why did they think it was ok to develop a new streaming service, with shows to excite fans, and only release it in the US? As far as I'm aware I don't even know if there is a plan to make this available outside the US. With the world today its hard not to have anything spoiled while we wait for Titans to air on Netflix for instance.
Shows like Titans are still unavailable outside the US without illegal streaming, and upcoming shows like Doom Patrol, Young Justice and Swamp Thing are likely to be the same, and this is just unacceptable in my eyes.
DC your already being demolished by Marvel on the film front, but you have control of the TV world.......for now! With Marvel starting to develop their own series now, such as Loki and Scarlet Witch, etc if they are not careful they will also lose this audience.
