In the DCU, I think Booster Gold will be friends more with Jaime than Ted Kord. Ted's probably around 50, and Jaime is 22. So, if Booster Gold is, let's say, mid-30s, he'll be closer to Jaime in age, so making them friends makes sense. Also, I wonder if Jaime will be in Peacemaker S2. Christopher Smith and Jaime and close in the comics, and Gunn likes the BB movie, so putting him in Peacemaker S2 makes sense. Maybe Peacemaker S2 will deal with the Reach (the first season had aliens, so it fits).
What's on your mind?

James Gunn has confirmed that a prequel film to Superman is in development. The movie will be a low-budget country rom-com, focusing on the Jonathan and Martha Kent in High School in Smallville, and will reportedly take inspiration from Footloose and will be about Jonathan trying to ask Martha to the school dance. The film will be distributed by Max. (April Fools!)

It probably be a new Aquaman
Villian they haven’t done before in the flims.
1, I hope the show is an anthology show, with each episode focusing on the backstory to that episode’s main character. Maybe this can give us an insight into the DCU Batman earlier years, maybe showing characters such as Dick Grayson or Jason Todd as Robin (before becoming Nightwing and Red Hood), or Barbara Gordon as Batgirl before becoming Oracle. I really hope we can see the origin story of many of the Batman villains, since most Batman movies skip the villains origins.
2, I hope all of the classic Batman villains who have already been done recently in film (Joker, Bane, Riddler, Two Face, etc.), that way the DCU Batman films can use villains no other Batman film has used before (Deathstroke, Man-Bat, Clayface, Court of Owls, etc.) or villains that haven’t been done right or used in a while (Poison Ivy, Mister Freeze, etc.).
3, I hope a future DCU Batman film (maybe Batman: TBATB) features a part of the film where Batman and Robin (Damian) are in Arkham and the villain of the film (most likely Deathstroke) releases all the inmates and Batman and Robin have to fight them, highlighting Batman’s rouge’s gallery. Maybe some villains escape in the madness, setting up sequels. Because the Arkham show will have already explored the villains origin stories, we can get straight to the point.
Carter also said, she doesn't understand why Wonder Woman 3 was cancelled in the first place.

Marvel recently has said things like this after the critical failure of Ant-Man 3, Secret Invasion, and The Marvels.
I hope the DCU is a knockout!

With the show taking place primarily on Earth, what characters do you think could appear? I think Flash or Green Arrow could happen, given that Barry and Hal are friends, and since GL and GA have had their own comic series.
It probably be set in Present Day and feature one of the Justice League Member.
As keanu reeves will return also i'm wonder if character of dceu can also in the futur ?
James Gunn has recently been teasing Deadman. Many people assume that Deadman will get his own DCU project or maybe teasing him as part of the Justice League Dark, but I have another idea: Deadman will appear in Creature Commandos. I think the character perfectly fits, especially considering his humor. CC could than set up the JL Dark (which Frankenstein has been a part of in the comics. Plus, the DCU is already setting up the JL dark with Swamp Thing), and maybe a solo project too.
I think for the DCU to successful, it should copy the Arrowverse. The Arrowverse was a very interconnected universe. Multiple characters from the other TV shows crossed over all the time, with each show acknowledging the events of the other. But unlike the MCU, not everything was required viewing. When I binge watched Flash for the first time, I had never seen anything from the other shows. I only watched the episodes from the other shows when it was part of the crossover, but other than that, I only watched Flash. And the best part was, I didn’t have to. Flash could be enjoyed and understood by itself. That’s how shared universes should be, interconnected and standalone at the same time, allowing for great crossovers while not putting to much pressure on the average viewer.
Also, the fact that the Arrowverse was able to highlight popular characters while showing off the lesser known characters at the same time was great, especially for a comic nerd who loved seeing the popular characters alongside some lesser known fan favorites. The Arrowverse was also able to handle multiple tones. Flash was more light hearted and had more science fictional elements, while Arrow was more dark, gritty and more grounded in reality (especially the earlier seasons). The Arrowverse also pulled off fairly comic accurate character portrayals (minus a few). Another big thing it did better than most modern superhero universes is the multiverse. It used the multiverse early on while not over using it to the point of people getting tired of it, while still building up to a huge multiverse crossover (that was really good other than budget restrictions). It literally brought in Kevin Conroy, the Smallville and Superman Returns versions of Superman, Robin from Batman ‘66, and so many others. Heck, the DCEU Flash even appeared. It also made comic concepts easy for the general audience to understand. I watched Flash with my family, and none of them understood the multiverse concept, but by the time they got to it in the show, they understood perfectly. The characters (which had good character development) did a great job explaining it. Same goes for time travel and other science fiction elements. Another big thing is the writing and character development. Especially in the first two seasons of Flash, the mystery and plot twists keep us guessing and entertained. The characters also had interesting stories that made us connect to them. If we can have a universe like the Arrowverse, just without budget restrictions, character embargoes, and an blend of both Movies (the primary focus), TV (the secondary focus), animation, comics and books, and video games, we could have one of the biggest and greatest film universes ever.
In the events of Superman, Guy does something stupid or reckless (which is totally in character), and in Lanterns, the Guardians of the Universe relocate Guy to the far reaches of space (which takes him out of the equation in Lanterns). Because of this, the Guardians find a new Lantern for sector 2814, John Stewart. Because not many GLs are from Earth, the Guardians get seasoned veteran Hal Jordan (who was currently serving in another sector) to train his fellow human GL. Hal serving in another sector would explain his absence in Superman and the other DCU projects. To make it easier for John to master his new powers, Hal starts his training on Earth before moving to space, which leads to them finding a mystery on Earth that needs solving. This explains why most of the series is set on Earth. After his training is completed, Hal goes back to his sector, leaving John as the main GL of sector 2814 (Earth).
Here’s mine:
13, Waller
12, Peacemaker S2
11, Creature Commandos
10, Arkham (I really want to see Batman’s rouges gallery, especially the characters that haven’t appeared in the films [like Mister Freeze or Clayface])
9, The Authority (I don’t know to much about the team [planning on reading their comics] so I don’t know enough to be excited, especially since we don’t know who’s making it)
8, Swamp Thing (I like horror movies, so I want a Conjuring-feeling DCU horror movie)
7, Paradise Lost (I really loved the flashbacks to the ancient DCU in YJ, so I’m curious. Hope a pre-underwater Atlantis appears!)
6, Booster Gold (I’m hoping for a Arrowverse style show, but with a bigger budget, less character restrictions, and less filler episodes)
5, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (Haven’t read the book yet [Its on my list], but I’m excited)
4, Batman: The Brave and The Bold (If Nightwing is in this, I’m sold! Super hyped to see the Bat-Family)
3, Lanterns (The GL corps has so much potential! One of the reasons I’m excited for Superman is because I get to see a GL on the big screen since the 2011 [Not including the JL cameo])
2, Teen Titans (would be slightly higher than Superman, but until I know the roster, it’s number 2)
1, Superman (Come on, it’s Superman! I want a classic Superman like Reeve’s version and I’m excited to see the other heroes in this. The cast also looks great)
Let me know how you would rank them!
FINALLLY!!!!! Original content, original characters. This is all we asked for.
I’m currently watching BvS, and this is how I feel when I watch Zack Snyder’s DC films (which I enjoy, but do question many of the creative choices and storylines) in regard to how it honors the source material:
