The Justice League Universe,[3][4][5] more commonly known by its unofficial name as the DC Extended Universe (DCEU),[6][7][8][9] is an American media franchise and shared universe, centered on a series of superhero films distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, based on characters that appear in publications by DC Comics. The shared universe, much like the original DC Universe in comic books, was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters. The films have been in production since 2011 and in that time Warner Bros. has distributed four films with more than ten in various stages of production. The series has grossed over $3.1 billion at the global box office, currently making it the seventeenth highest-grossing film franchise.
The films are written and directed by a variety of individuals and feature large, often ensemble, casts. Several actors, including Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa, and Ray Fisher, are set to appear in numerous films. In May 2016, DC's chief creative officer Geoff Johns and Warner Bros. executive vice president Jon Berg were appointed to co-run the DC Films division and oversee creative decisions, production and story-arcs in order to create a cohesive overarching plot within the films.
The first film in the DCEU was Man of Steel (2013), which was followed by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), Suicide Squad (2016), and Wonder Woman (2017). Future films include Justice League (2017), Aquaman (2018), Shazam! (2019), Wonder Woman 2 (2019), Cyborg (2020), and Green Lantern Corps (2020). Other projects are also in various stages of development, including Suicide Squad 2, Justice League Dark, Flashpoint, The Batman, Batgirl, a Justice League sequel, Gotham City Sirens, Nightwing, an untitled Joker and Harley Quinn film, a second Superman solo film, and untitled solo films for Black Adam, Deadshot, and Lobo.

Development[edit]
In 2002, Wolfgang Petersen was set to direct a Batman vs. Superman film from a script by Akiva Goldsman.[10] Warner Bros. canceled development to focus on individual Superman and Batman projects after J. J. Abrams submitted another draft for Superman: Flyby.[11][12] In February 2007, Warner Bros. hired husband and wife duo Michele and Kieran Mulroney to write a script for a Justice League film.[13] Christian Bale, who starred as Batman in Batman Begins (2005), was not approached to reprise the role,[14] nor was Brandon Routh, who starred as Superman in Superman Returns (2006).[15] George Miller was hired to direct the film,[16] reportedly titled Justice League Mortal,[17] with Armie Hammer cast as Batman, D. J. Cotrona as Superman, Adam Brody as Flash, Santiago Cabrera as Aquaman, Common as Green Lantern, Megan Gale as Wonder Woman, Hugh Keays-Byrne as Martian Manhunter and Jay Baruchel as Maxwell Lord.[18] The project was put on indefinite hold in January 2008, after failing to secure tax breaks for filming in Australia, as well as the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike preventing progress on the script.[19]
In 2013, a reboot of the Superman franchise, Man of Steel, was set to lay the groundwork for future DC films.[20] The film contained references to other characters in the DC Universe, so if it were a success, it could launch a shared universe.[21][22] Days before Man of Steel's release in June, it was reported that director Zack Snyder and screenwriter David S. Goyer would be returning for a sequel, which was being fast-tracked by Warner Bros.[23] In July, at San Diego Comic-Con, it was revealed that the sequel would include Batman in a main role, thus establishing the shared universe.[24][25] In October 2014, Warner Bros. announced a slate of ten DC films.[26]
Geoff Johns, the co-head of DC Films, and co-runner (with Jon Berg) of the Justice League Universe
Upon announcement, the universe was commonly called the "DC Cinematic Universe" by fans and the media, in keeping with the naming convention of the already established Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).[27][28][29] Keith Staskiewicz, writing for Entertainment Weekly, coined the term "DC Extended Universe™" as a joke on an article of his about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice on July 1, 2015. This and the abbreviation DCEU quickly spread among the press and fans thinking of it as the official name of the franchise over the following years.[30][9] According to Vulture writer Abraham Riesman, DC confirmed to him in September 2017 that the term is not used internally and they do not consider it official.[7] While the MCU includes television productions, the DCEU is a shared continuity for films. Several television series featuring DC characters and storylines have their own shared continuity, frequently referred to as the Arrowverse.[31] DC's chief creative officer Geoff Johns explained DC's difference in approach to Marvel Studios and their cinematic universe, saying, "We look at it as the multiverse. We have our TV universe and our film universe, but they all co-exist. For us, creatively, it’s about allowing everyone to make the best possible product, to tell the best story, to do the best world. Everyone has a vision and you really want to let the visions shine through ... It's just a different approach."[32] In June 2015, Warner Bros. president of creative development Greg Silverman expanded on DC's approach to their cinematic universe, saying, "We ... take these beloved characters and put them in the hands of master filmmakers and make sure they all coordinate with each other. You'll see the difference when you see ... the things that we are working on."[33]
In May 2016, following criticism of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Warner Bros. established a DC Films division with Geoff Johns and Warner Bros. executive vice president Jon Berg as its heads,[34] which oversees production to form a cohesive creative direction for the franchise.[35][36] DC Films will not be fully autonomous, with Johns reporting to DC president Diane Nelson and Berg reporting to Silverman.[35] Charles Roven was also moved from his day-by-day producer role on future DC films, which he had served since 2005's Batman Begins, to an administrative executive producer role.[37] In December, Silverman was ousted from his role in Warner Bros., and Toby Emmerich was promoted to president and chief content officer, in his place.[38] Later in 2016, as part of DC Films Presents: Dawn of the Justice League!, both Geoff Johns and Kevin Smith referred to the franchise's name as being the "Justice League Universe".[4][5] As of January 2017, Johns and Berg report to Emmerich.[39] Following the financial and critical success of Wonder Woman in June 2017, Johns stated that moving forward the films will focus on the heart, humor, hope, heroics, and optimism of the characters.[40]

The film would not be an origin story, with each character already established and elements of their backstory coming into play throughout the film.[187] In November 2014, del Toro submitted the script to Warner Bros. to be reviewed.[188] In December, del Toro revealed that the film would be a part of the DC Extended Universe.[189] By June 2015, del Toro was no longer attached to the project.[190] In August 2016, Doug Liman was hired to direct the film, with Scott Rudin producing and Michael Gilio writing the script.[191] In May 2017, Liman dropped out as director due to scheduling conflicts.[192] At the San Diego Comic-Con in July 2017, the film's title was announced to be Justice League Dark.[138] In August 2017, it was reported that Gilio's script is going to be rewritten after studio executives were underwhelmed by recent pitches from possible directors.[193] That same month, Gerard Johnstone was hired to work on the film's script.[194]
Chris McKay, the director of Nightwing
Nightwing[edit]
In February 2017, the Hollywood Reporter, reported that there is a film centered on Dick Grayson / Nightwing in development, with Chris McKay and Bill Dubuque signed on as director and screenwriter respectively. In discussing what he is looking for in casting the character, McKay cited the level of physical activity the actor will have to endure, including martial arts, gymnastics and stunts as what will be required for the role. In an interview with Collider, McKay confirmed the film's title to be Nightwing.
Discussing why he likes the character and signed on for the project, McKay cited the character's showman personality and background as an entertainer and expressed his excitement for depicting that in the film.[195] He later stated that he wants to introduce a complete adaptation of the character, something that hasn't been done in previous film interpretations of him before.[196] McKay continued to state that the director-driven approach is why he loves Warner Bros., and how the franchise is differentiating itself from other popular shared universes.[197] In an interview with Cinemablend the director confirmed that the film would acknowledge the titular character's past from the source material, including his time as a part of Haly's Circus, and also reaffirmed that the film will be a straight-forward action movie with minimal use of CGI special effects and grounded realism.[198][199][200]
Suicide Squad 2[edit]
In March 2016, it was reported that a Suicide Squad sequel is in development.[201] In February 2017, the studio had a shortlist of potential directors for the project, including Mel Gibson, Jonathan Levine, Ruben Fleischer and Daniel Espinosa.[202][203] In March, Adam Cozad was hired to write the script.[204] Due to delays with the script, Gibson passed on the project and by July, Jaume Collet-Serra was named as the studio's first choice to be director of the sequel. Zak Penn submitted a story treatment and stated that a new script is in the process of being written.[205] Collet-Serra later dropped out of negations to direct.[206] That same month, the film was officially titled Suicide Squad 2 at San Diego Comic-Con.[138]
Leto was confirmed to reprise his role as the Joker in the film.[182] In September of 2017, Gavin O'Connor was officially hired as screenwriter and director.[207][208][208][209] Suicide Squad 2 is scheduled to begin production in mid-2018.[205]
Untitled Black Adam film[edit]
In January 2017, it was reported that Dwayne Johnson will feature in his own film, as the anti-hero Black Adam.[131] Johnson has since revealed that Black Adam will debut in the franchise sooner than expected and that there will be a Black Adam and Superman fight in the DCEU, though he cannot state where and when.[210]
Untitled Harley Quinn and the Joker film[edit]
In July 2017, Screen Rant reported that a film featuring the Joker and Harley Quinn was in early development. The film, a spin-off of Suicide Squad, was tentatively given the working-title of Harley Quinn vs. The Joker.[211][212] In August 2017, the film was confirmed by the studio to be in active development, with Leto and Robbie reprising their roles, though the film is now described as a "criminal love story" and is untitled. In a later report, Glenn Ficarra and John Requa were named as being in final negotiations to co-write and co-direct the film.[213] After speculation, it was later confirmed by Forbes that the untitled Harley Quinn and the Joker film is a separate project from Gotham City Sirens.[214] By September, Robbie confirmed the roles of Ficarra and Requa as writers/directors/producers for the film, as well as her role as executive producer.[215]
Untitled Man of Steel sequel[edit]
In October 2014, Warner Bros. announced that a sequel to Man of Steel was in development, with Cavill set to reprise the role.[26] In November 2016, Amy Adams confirmed that work had begun on the screenplay.[216] In September 2017, Matthew Vaughn confirmed he is in discussions with the studio to direct the film.[217][218]
Untitled Lobo film[edit]
Warner Bros. announced in September of 2009 that a feature film focusing on the DC Comics character Lobo was in development. That same year, Deadline reported that Guy Ritchie would direct the film, and that production would begin in early-2010. His "irreverent, gruff tone" from his previous work would be utilized for the adaptation, though the studio was aiming for a PG-13 rating from the MPAA.[219] In their coverage of the film's development, Variety described the film's premise as: "Lobo is a seven-foot tall, blue-skinned, indestructible and heavily muscled anti-hero who drives a pimped out motorcycle, and lands on Earth in search of four fugitives who are bent on wreaking havoc. Lobo teams with a small town teenage girl to stop the creatures."[219] However, by 2010 Ritchie left the project to pursue a sequel to his box-office hit, Sherlock Holmes and the film was put on hold.[220][221][222] By April of 2012, Brad Peyton had signed on as writer and director, with Dwayne Johnson entering negotiations to play the titular character in July.[223] By the next year, Johnson had signed on to portray Black Adam in the shared universe, withdrawing from the running to play Lobo.[224][225] In March 2016, it was reported that Jason Fuchs was working on a re-write of the script.[226] June of the same year, the Fuchs confirmed that the character would be portrayed as he was in the original comic book story arcs.[227]
Untitled Deadshot Spinoff[edit]
In December 2016, The Hollywood Reporter announced that a Deadshot solo movie is in development with Smith reprising his role as Lawton. The film will be a spinoff of Suicide Squad.[228]
