While James Gunn's DC Universe is highly anticipated, there are 10 things from the old DC Extended Universe that will be missed when it ends.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The DC Extended Universe will soon be replaced by James Gunn’s DC Universe, but 10 elements of the old DCEU will be missed after it is rebooted. The DCEU began in 2013 with Man of Steel and gradually grew to encompass the other two members of DC’s “Big Three” superheroes, with Batman and Wonder Woman joining the pantheon.
9 The DCEU Had Fantastic Superhero Costumes Even the DCEU’s detractors would be hard-pressed to belittle the franchise’s costumes. While Superman and Wonder Woman’s outfits are slight departures from the comics, they are spectacular cinematic variations of the classic costumes, with the latter quickly being adopted by DC’s comics. Characters like Aquaman and Shazam received costumes that look as though they leaped off the pages of DC’s comics while retaining a degree of realism.
7 Michael Shannon’s General Zod Is Phenomenal While forgettable supervillains are a common criticism that plagues both the MCU and the DCEU, the latter franchise opens with one of the superhero genre’s best antagonists. General Zod, played by Michael Shannon, is as complex as he is sinister, changing his goal of overthrowing Krypton’s government with ensuring the survival of its people once the planet is destroyed.
5 Ben Affleck’s Comic-Accurate Batman Just as Henry Cavill’s Superman will be replaced by David Corenswet’s iteration in Superman: Legacy, Ben Affleck’s Batman will be recast in the upcoming DCU film The Brave and the Bold. Affleck’s Batman was quite controversial due to his character arc in Dawn of Justice involving him killing criminals, but his take on the character is equaled only by Adam West’s iteration as far as comic accuracy goes.
