With Swamp Thing set to be the DC Universe's first horror movie in James Gunn's reboot, the franchise is already avoiding WB's Tim Burton disaster.
While the DCEU may have been uneven, the decision to have Swamp Thing go into the horror genre proves that James Gunn's DC Universe is avoiding Warner Bros.' past mistakes after Tim Burton's Batman movies. One of the big surprises that were revealed by DC Studios earlier this year was a new Swamp Thing reboot, with James Mangold officially tapped to direct and write it.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Even though Swamp Thing isn't planned to start filming any time soon, the film will be happening at some point in Chapter 1, "Gods and Monsters." While there is no attached cast or release date as of yet, Mangold has spoken about wanting to structure the reboot as a Gothic horror movie within the DC Universe.
What this also says about the DC Universe is that Warner Bros. Discovery is not repeating past regime's mistakes that happened after Burton's Batman films, when they were slammed for being too dark for kids, which is why Joel Schumacher was brought in for Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. Sacrificing story and tone for the sake of making a product appealing for toys sale is what ultimately hurt Batman Forever and Batman & Robin in the late 1990s.
The DCU Is Already Promising To Avoid An MCU Problem Looking closer at Mangold's "standalone" comments about his Swamp Thing movie, he isn't saying that this is by any means an Elseworlds project.
