The DC movies have long struggled to keep up with Marvel at the box office.

In an attempt to streamline DC storytelling and compete with Marvel, Warner Bros. poached Gunn, director of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy movies, from Disney to rebuild the DC universe alongside producer Peter Safran. Slowly, rumors have trickled out about the future of the DC movies. Recently, Gunn and Safran finally announced the initial steps for their 10-year plan for what they are calling the DCU at a press conference and in social media posts.
