With only two films out in the world, it’s sink or swim for the new DC Universe. That’s especially true after Supergirl failed to cause much of a stir at the box office, drawing plenty of scrutiny to the specifics of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s franchise-wide reboot.
To say that the creative co-chairs are taking an unorthodox approach to building this new universe might be the understatement of the decade. The DCU started strong with Superman, but the timeline has zigged when it needs to zag, jumping across a timeline few actually understand instead of telling a straightforward story. It’s unconventional, not to mention risky, and that strategy only gets riskier with Clayface.
