Although a new shared UC Universe continuity will be launching in the next few years under the supervision of DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran, this doesn’t mean that all aspects of the DC Extended Universe are being wiped away. This is best exemplified so far by not only Peacemaker Season 2 moving forward, but a Waller series starring Viola Davis arriving beforehand. There have also been rumblings about other established versions of characters sticking around too, including Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, though Gunn has shot down a rumor concerning her future.
It was claimed that a Harley Quinn prequel series is in development called Harleen, which would tell “the story of how her need to save the Joker led to her mind being shattered.” Fellow Batman baddie Harvey Dent, a.k.a. Two-Face, would play a role in the project, and while Robbie would reprise the title character, it would be in a “different world” than the one we saw her in during 2016’s Suicide Squad and 2020’s Birds of Prey. When someone asked Gunn on Twitter if there was any truth to this rumor, he responded with a simple “There is not.” So apologies for anyone who found the above origin series pitch enticing, but this is not something that’s in development.
