DCU Blog - February 2023 Edition: Pennyworth Ends, The Penguin Cast Round Up And The Flash Debuts Trailer

Well, 2023 has certainly kicked things off for DC in quite a fashion. With the DCU Chapter One slate receiving a mostly positive reception, we've definitely had plenty to mull over. Here we go.

On Superbowl Sunday, the first official trailer for The Flash movie debuted, putting Ezra Miller, Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck and Sasha Calle front and centre to quite a reception, not to mention low-key confirming certain spoilers for the movie as well.

On top of the positive reception for the trailer, CinemaCon will actually premiere The Flash movie in April, though we'll have to wait until June 16th to see it ourselves. Either way, it feels like the WB have a lot of confidence in this one hitting big for them.

Meanwhile there are rumours that The Batman - Part II could begin filming as early as November this year but this has yet to be confirmed by an official source.

Shazam! Fury Of The Gods will be in cinemas from March 17th but whether or not the character will remain in the DCU depends on this movie's box office numbers.

On Valentine's Day, both director Todd Phillips and Lady Gaga posted a first look image of the latter as Harley Quinn with Joaquin Phoenix as Joker for Joker: Folie A Deux.

Recent test screening are reporting that there may be problems with Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom. The movie isn't due until December so there's enough time to work out those potential problems.

In terms of James Gunn's proposed DCU movies, expect an actor for Superman: Legacy that will be a few years younger than Batman for The Brave And The Bold while James Mangold has expressed interest for Swamp Thing.


Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Shohreh Aghdashloo and Deirdre O'Connell have been cast in undisclosed rules for The Penguin series for HBO Max, which is now in production in New York.

Netflix have acquired the rights to Dead Boy Detectives which was previously due to be streamed on HBO Max.

Both Superman And Lois and Gotham Knights are due to air on the CW from March 14th. UK dates to be confirmed in due course.

Pennyworth has been cancelled after three seasons by HBO Max. Following the recent axings of both Titans and Doom Patrol, this isn't a shocking turn of events.

The final season of The Flash is currently filming it's series finale, which will feature both Savitar and Cobalt Blue (Rick Cosnett) to name a few returning faces.

James Gunn has confirmed that casting for Creature Commandos is nearly complete. I'd expect that to be revealed very soon.

Steve Agee's John Economos will be coming back to a DC project very soon, as confirmed by James Gunn.

Well, that's it for this month. Quite a bit to get through there, lol.
