With James Gunn and Peter Safran taking over as co-CEOs for the new DC Studios, changes have been expected, and today, the first phase of the overarching plan was released, named Gods and Monsters. The first ten projects - five movies and five shows - were revealed, encompassing a variety of heroes both known and unknown. The idea is to have a main universe that includes movies, shows, games, and animation, with the actors keeping the role across all mediums, while also allowing for different visions, from horror to comedy. Which isn't to say that anything not connected to this new 'verse has been scrapped. Shows and movies outside of this scope have been labelled as "Elseworlds", so there is still more to come that might not fall within this new world. Gunn also teased that this doesn't cover the entirety of the first phase, so we can expect other things to be announced in the future. Without further ado, let's dive in:

There are five shows that were revealed today, all slated to air on HBO Max:

First up is Creature Commandos – a seven-episode animated show in which Amanda Waller creates a black ops team out of monstrous prisoners. Of the characters confirmed are Weasel, and Rick Flagg Sr. Gunn wrote all the episodes of the first season, and the show is already in production, with a first look below:

Viola Davis will be making a return for Waller – a series that features Team Peacemaker and will be written by Christal Henry (Watchmen) and Jeremy Carver (Supernatural). With Gunn's involvement now focused on developing the entire world for DC Studios, the second season of Peacemaker has been put on hold, and with Waller serving as a continuation after the first season of the show, which saw Danielle Brooks' Leota Adebayo reveal Task Force X and her mother Waller's involvement to the world.

We've also got a first in Booster Gold – A hero who uses basic technology from the future to pretend to be a superhero in present day. It's meant to be a full foray into comedy, with the titular character, who isn't all that fantastic in the future, to build himself up in the present.

Although the original anthology Green Lantern series was never realized, it's now become Lanterns – this enormous TV event series follows intergalactic cops John Stewart and Hal Jordan as they uncover a dark mystery. This show is meant to be a crucial in telling one of the main stories of this new world being built

And finally, we'll be getting Paradise Lost ­– set in Themyscira, home of the Amazons and birthplace of Wonder Woman, this drama focuses on the genesis and political intrigue of an island of all women. It's meant to shine a light on the darker and lesser-known aspects of the world that Diana will one day live in, with the show tackling the origins of Themyscira.

We also know that the movies will be tackling Batman & Robin - as well as the broader batfamily - not to mention Supergirl, Superman, Swamp Thing, and The Authority, so there's also a window for these characters to also appear in this large interconnected new world.
