DCU Blog - December 2025 Edition: TBII/MOT Major Casting, Supergirl Promo Begins

And to end this year for DC fans, we've got a slew of exciting information. Assuming nothing else gets announced before tomorrow night.

Scarlett Johansson has been cast in an undisclosed role for The Batman - Part II (October 1st 2027). She'll film her role after working on Mike Flanagan's upcoming The Exorcist movie. Filming begins in May.

Clayface (September 11th 2026) will feature Batman in some capacity.

The Brave And The Bold is still currently being written and Andy Muschietti is still attached as director and we still don't have an actor for DCU Batman.

Recent rumours have indicated that Ana Nogueira was told to prioritise Wonder Woman script over Teen Titans. Fingers crossed that casting is imminent.

Lars Eidinger has been cast as Brainiac for Man Of Tomorrow (July 9th 2027). A female warrior is also being cast. Filming begins from April 2026.

Superman (2025) is on the shortlist for Best Visuals at the Oscars.

DC Super Powers will feature Guy Gardner, Tula, Jessie Quick's Flash, Terra as well as Martian Manhunter and Mr Terrific.

The first trailer for Supergirl (June 26th 2026) was released this month. Seth Rogan has also been cast in a role while David Corenswet's Superman will also appear. Ramin Djawadi will score the movie.

Superman (2025), Peacemaker and Harley Quinn (HBO Max) have all been nominated for Critics Choice Awards.

Although not officially confirmed, we should be getting upcoming seasons of both Batman: Caped Crusader and My Adventures With Superman in 2026.

Captain Atom will appear in the second season of Creature Commandos. James Gunn won't be writing for the show.

HBO recently showed clips of Lanterns when promoting their 2026 slate of shows. A release date will confirmed in due course.

The Jimmy Olsen spin-off will begin filming shortly after the completion of Man Of Tomorrow.

For now, it appears that Netflix have won the battle for Warner Brothers. James Gunn and Peter Safran have had their contracts extended. 

That's a wrap for 2025. Here's hoping 2026 kicks off in style for DC.
