The guidelines governing the DC reboot are in constant flux, but as James Gunn and Peter Safran added more projects to the slate, one rule seemed to dominate the new regime. The creative co-chairs have been adamant about taking a “writer-driven” approach to their DC Universe, prioritizing strong scripts over half-formed ideas and the pressures of pre-planned release dates.

“We are not going to greenlight or put anything into production until we are happy with the script,” Gunn told The Hollywood Reporter in February. “It is hard enough making a good movie with a good script, it’s almost impossible to make a movie with a script that you’re writing on the run.”
