James Gunn and Peter Safran have found themselves atop DC Studios, serving as co-chairmen of the new entity created by Warner Bros. Discovery to oversee the production of all DC-related films and television shows. Under the purview of DC Studios, movies and series live-action and animated will combine to form an interconnected universe now called the DC Universe. As Gunn himself confirmed on Twitter Sunday, video games will also be included in the franchise. The publishing side of things, however, will remain its own thing, meaning comics and graphic novels will reside in their own continuity outside of the DC Universe.

Very open communication. As everyone knows I’m a huge comic book fan & I hope everything we do will lead to more people reading @DCComics (& vice versa). But Peter & I are not in charge of the comics – just all filmed DC entertainment.
