'Superman: Legacy' Can't Repeat This DC Storytelling Mistake
Dec 11, 2023
To say that the last decade has been a rough one for the folks at DC Studios would be an understatement. Despite the success of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy, DC has struggled to create a cinematic universe that attains the same level of critical and commercial success at the level of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ironically, two of DC’s most successful recent films, Todd Phillips’ Joker and Matt Reeves’ The Batman, were set within their own continuities outside the larger DC Extended Universe. Now, James Gunn is working to revive the DC Universe and shepherd in a new slate of films, beginning with Superman: Legacy in 2025. However, with Superman: Legacy set to begin filming in early 2024, Gunn and his creative collaborators must remember to put their hero first in this new adaptation.
