Ranking the DCEU movies ahead of The Flash, including Zack Snyder’s Justice League and Wonder Woman

The DCEU isn’t long for this world, but we’ve got plenty of movies to rank from its decade-plus run.

The DC Extended Universe is nearing its end as filmmaker James Gunn takes over DC, and it’s time to look back on the series that started with 2013’s Man of Steel.

The post-Christopher Nolan Batman movies have had their high ups and low downs.

There were great moments like the arrival of Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman and terrible ones like the mangled version of Justice League that fans got in 2017.

Ahead of this weekend’s The Flash, let’s take a look back at most all the DCEU movies that have come out within the past decade (with the exception of March’s Shazam!: Fury of the Gods, which we turned off after less than 10 minutes because life is simply too short).

What We Learned from James Gunn’s DC Universe Announcement (Batman! Superman! Swamp Thing?!)

DC fans can rejoice that a new wave of film and television projects have been revealed.

After months of promising big changes, the DC universe has officially received its first official reset courtesy of filmmaker James Gunn and producer Peter Safran.

Gunn, a Marvel vet, came over to DC a few years ago to take on 2021’s The Suicide Squad and found a permanent home last fall as the comic book studio’s new film and television co-chief.

On Tuesday, Gunn made his grand reveal of the studio’s first steps in its new film and television plan. He led his announcement with a pretty honest assessment of how things have been going on the DC side of the fence for some time.

“As many of you know, DC has been disconnected in film and television for a long time,” Gunn said in the video. “It’s one of our jobs … to come in and make sure the [DC Universe] is connected in film, television, gaming and animation, that the characters are consistent, played by the same actors, and it works within one story.”

The first chapter of the “DCU” will reportedly be titled “Gods and Monsters.”

Gunn added that already established projects, like Matt Reeves’ The Batman universe and Todd Phillip’s Joker films, will get the branding of “DC Elseworlds,” meaning that they’ll veer away from the newly forming “DCU.”

Gunn teased a number of big DC projects and gave clarity on some others. Let’s break down below what the highlights were.

Monolith is officially working on a Wonder Woman game

As was just announced at The Game Awards 2021, Monolith Productions is working on a brand new Wonder Woman game.

Monolith Productions just debuted a trailer for its upcoming Wonder Woman game at The Game Awards 2021. The game will be published by Warner Bros. and developed in association with DC.

While fans weren’t short of ideas for what the Shadow of Mordor developer was secretly up to, it’s safe to say not a whole lot of people anticipated Princess Diana of Themyscira would be the next DC superhero to make the transition to video games. As Geoff Keighley said just prior to the trailer airing, a lot of the reveals at large-scale trade shows get leaked ahead of schedule – this one certainly didn’t.

You can check out the all-new trailer for yourself below.

“A new threat comes to our shores, and I must call you home,” a mysterious voice says. “Restore what has been broken. Unite old enemies. Forge new bonds. You are a hero, but you can be more – you can be a leader.

“You are Wonder Woman.”

Aside from that quote and a quick look at Diana herself, we have precious few details about what Monolith’s take on the iconic superhero is going to be like. All we know is that the game is likely very early in development – although the idea that Monolith might be able to integrate the Nemesis system it used in Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War into a superhero game is pretty promising.

At the time of writing, no release date has been specified for Wonder Woman. Monolith and Warner Bros. also haven’t specified which platforms the game will be coming to.
