Well this month certainly delivered some harsh blows and some potentially exciting stuff. It's really never a dull moment for DC fans, one way or the other.
The Flash finally debuted on the big screen and sadly it hasn't been the hit we'd all hoped. So far it's made over $210 million at the box office with it heading to digital from July 18th.
Ezra Miller did however attend the LA premiere of the movie on June 12th and even talked to some of the press about the character.
It was also revealed that two different endings had been filmed, prior to the one we ended up with.
Andy Muschietti however has been locked in to direct The Brave And The Bold for now. Ezra Miller and Sasha Calle's futures are yet to be confirmed.
However the biggest news to end the month was James Gunn confirmed that David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan will play Superman and Lois Lane for Superman: Legacy. Filming won't start until 2024 for a July 11th 2025 release.
Both Alex Skarsgard and Bill Skarsgard have been considered for the role of Lex Luthor. That casting will be confirmed in due course.
Members of The Authority will also appear in the movie as will other heroes.
More reshoots happened this month for Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom with Jason Momoa posting about it on social media. The film will be released from December 20th.
It's been confirmed that while Blue Beetle isn't a DCU movie, the character is supposed to be the first character for the new era as well. The movie will be released in theatres from August 18th.
James Mangold has recently talked about working on Swamp Thing. However the movie will be a while before it happens.
James Gunn has also confirmed that they're miles away from casting the DCU Batman.
DC will have a panel of sorts for SDCC for comics and animation. In terms of the DCU having a panel there, it's not looking likely.
Season 2 of The Sandman has begun filming with Netflix releasing it in 2024. Ruari O'Connor has been cast as Orpheus.
The CW have renewed Superman And Lois for a fourth season of 10 episodes with only Tyler Hoechlin, Elizabeth Tulloch, Michael Cudlitz, Alex Garfin and Michael Bishop remaining as regulars. Gotham Knights however was cancelled after one season.
Animation fans have the debut of My Adventures With Superman from July 6th on Adult Swim/Max and Season 4 of Harley Quinn from July 27th on Max. A three part documentary called Superpowered will premiere on Max from July 20th.
Russ Bain has been recently cast for Creature Commandos while The Penguin has halted filming until the writers strike has been resolved.
Again a very busy month for DC and it's fans in general. It'll be interesting to see what the second half of the year brings
