The new DC Universe is a tricky beast. Just when the rules of the reboot are starting to make sense, James Gunn and Peter Safran introduce a new loophole that throws everything off-balance. Keeping track of the duo’s many plans hasn't been easy: while they recently offered a progress update, the future feels messier than ever. Previously announced films have been shelved, others have been greenlit out of nowhere, and a handful of animated shows are now in active development.
It’s the latter that presents the biggest challenge where continuity is concerned. Gunn and Safran have been adamant about telling linked stories through multiple mediums; for all their efforts to unify the DC brand, however, an overwhelming number of projects won’t contribute to the DCU at all.
