This summer I visited the set of James Gunn"s
Superman while it was nearing the end of principal photography in Cleveland, and today we can share what the writer and director told us.
While the animated series Creature Commandos is currently airing on Max and is technically the first in-canon story of the new DC Universe, Superman represents the effective beginning of the remixed franchise under the leadership of Gunn and producing partner Peter Safran who together serve as co-CEOs of the DC Studios division under Warner Bros. Discovery. That means a lot is riding on Superman to establish the new framework for the franchise going forward.
