James Gunn and Peter Safran have departed as DC Universe heads, and Warner Bros. is moving the franchise into "reboot mode," according to reporting from Puck's Matthew Belloni. Plans are underway to dismantle much of what Gunn and Safran plotted beyond next summer's Gunn-directed Man of Tomorrow, The Batman: Part 2, and an in-the-works HBO series.
An alleged Skydance Media insider told Cosmic Book that David Corenswet could be unlikely to return as Superman in a future film. Rumors claim Man of Tomorrow has underperformed with test audiences and Warner Bros. faces potential financial losses.
Jeremy Latcham, a Marvel veteran, will replace Gunn and Safran. David Ellison reportedly wants a new Justice League movie soon. HBO's Lanterns series will not receive a season 2 despite initial reception.
Absolute Batman, the critically acclaimed spin-off, was reportedly spared from the reboot.
