for Ultra-Humanite in DC Cinematic Universe: Phase 1
Suggested by scarletstudios
The DC Cinematic Universe, or the DC-CU, is my attempt at creating a clear, constructed version of the DC Extended Universe, or DCEU, that is also my pitch for the 10-Year DC plan Warner Brothers Discovery had mentioned a few months ago. And since the DCEU is kind of a mess at the moment, with calls and petitions by the fans to recast Aquaman’s Mera after the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial as well as recasting the DCEU’s Flash, as Ezra Miller is no longer gonna be the Flash after the Flash movie comes out around 2023. But with the hope of a better DCEU going forward, and under the assumption that the Flash will pull a Flashpoint and reboot the entire universe, I have faith they will return with our most iconic heroes, as they have been sidelined for far too long. So, with the help of a friend of mine on Discord, I figured out how to make a proper DC Cinematic Universe with different phases that will lead up to the big bad, Darkseid of Apokolips, with possible spin-offs that expand the DC universe and the characters with either TV Series or other Solo and Team-Up movies. The structure of this DC Cinematic Universe, is based mostly on the iconic animated DC cartoons, along with some influence from Zack Snyder DC Universe, or the Snyderverse as named by the fans, the DC Animated Movie Universe (DCAMU), and a bit of the New 52 comic run, and it will be less dark than the Snyderverse films.
