Chapter 1 of the DC Universe already has a big advantage over Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 1 thanks to James Gunn's plan. The first part of James Gunn and Peter Safran's vision for the DC Universe was officially announced in early 2023. They confirmed plans for 10 projects that include everything from reboot movie franchises for Batman and Superman to HBO Max shows starring Green Lantern and Booster Gold. These movies and shows are only a piece of a decade-long plan James Gunn has developed for the DC Universe, with Chapter 1 officially known as Gods and Monsters.
