With DC Studios broadly using animation and HBO for world building, these characters need their own series as soon as possible.
The new DC Universe from co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran is in full swing, and it is strategically using HBO’s streaming platform as a key component for its ambitious world-building.
The universe officially kicked off with the adult animated series Creature Commandos, which set a distinct tone by blending genre action with Gunn’s signature humor.
This was followed by the theatrical blockbuster Superman, a box office hit that established the franchise’s cinematic cornerstone.
The lore of this new reality is already expanding with the second season of Peacemaker, which continues the story of its titular anti-hero while further integrating the universe’s canon.
Author summary: DC heroes need their own HBO series.
