As the DC Extended Universe move forward , it looks like it will be embracing a less restrictive continuity than its match . Like Marvel , DC spent years bringing its various characters to the big screen before opting for a cohesive shared universe . But whereas Marvel has been craft its Marvel Cinematic Universe for a decade , the DCEU has really only just begun . With four pic so far , this fall’sJustice Leaguewill both mark the first expectant squad - up for the dealership and usher in something of a new geological era for the population .
We ’ve known for some time that DC was interested in a sort of side universe mesh in the Warner Bros. New Line imprint . It ’s there thatJustice League Darkwill reportedly come to life , and some have theorizedShazam!andBlack Adammay do the same . The news program of multiple Joker movies now being in development , however , has added more fuel to the fire that DC and WB is adopt a dissimilar share universe approaching . Now , we have more penetration into their though - procedure on the thing .
Vulturespoke with DC Entertainments head Diane Nelson and Geoff Johns about the hereafter of the DCEU , and they had some interesting things to say about the shape it will take . According to Nelson , continuity is still fundamental , but with a crook :
" Our design , certainly , moving forwards is using the persistence to help verify nothing is diverge in a way that does n’t make sense … incite forward , you ’ll see the DC pic universe being a universe , but one that come from the middle of the filmmaker who ’s creating them . "
Nelson went on to hash out howWonder Womancertainly cite the events ofBatman v Superman , but operated as its own film . Johns , echoing this idea , explained further :
" The movie ’s not about another moving picture , some of the movies do relate the characters together , like Justice League . But , like with Aquaman , our finish is not to link up Aquaman to every flick . "
While this may all seem like semantics , it does seem DC is interesting in separating itself from a rigorous sense of persistence . Adding to this theory is the news from earlier today thatFlashpointwill bring with time so much , Iris West may not be from the present - dayin the DCEU . With that film possibly altering the very essence of the DCEU , could we be seeing the birth of the cinematic multiverse ?
The mind of broadly speaking associate stories and multiple version of popular characters is certainly easier to conserve than a strict shared universe . Still , it could lead to hearing confusion . In the DCEU ’s favor is the notoriously rickety precedent determine by Fox’sX - Menuniverse : a franchise that has never meet a timeline it did n’t upend , yet has continued to expand ( in part , arguably , becauseof said want of stern persistence ) .
