The DC Extended Universe has finally reached a brutal conclusion. After a 2023 that included box-office disappointments like The Flash, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and Blue Beetle, the company is shifting toward a new, hopefully brighter era. Led by Guardians of the Galaxy mastermind James Gunn, projects like Superman: Legacy, Batman’s The Brave and the Bold and more will look to course correct the primarily comic-based company after a decade of missteps within the Zack Snyder-defined era of films. But DC’s bold new direction won’t hit the big screens until 2025. For now, the only movie starring the company’s characters released this year will be the insular Joker: Folie a Deux, leaving most of 2024 in the hands of smaller characters and the small screen.The Justice League won’t be the ones saving the fate of superhero media for DC and Warner Bros. Discovery this year. In fact, casual fans may not have even heard of the torchbearers leading this new era period. Instead of the big three, or even their biggest allies, DC will instead hedge its bets on television series centered around characters like Kite Man, the Penguin, and the Creature Commandos. These are far from the biggest names in the Detective Comics stable, but they fit the mold of similar breakout stars that grew to be the biggest surprise success of the DCEU era. The fate of DC’s next wave of films is far from certain, but their next wave of shows is made with all the elements that have made up the company’s biggest recent hits.Batman: Caped Crusader is a series starring the Dark Knight Detective that may debut in 2024, but the big three are otherwise absent as far as confirmed releases. Instead, the trio of characters leading DC through the year will be the Penguin, Kite Man, and the Creature Commandos. Colin Farrell will star as Oswald Cobblepot in the long-awaited series spinning off from Robert Pattinson’s The Batman. Kite Man will lead Kite Man: Hell Yeah!, a spin-off of Harley Quinn starring the series’ lovable loser who nearly married Poison Ivy. Creature Commandos will mark the first release of James Gunn’s DC Universe, with the filmmaker revealing its characters are also being planned for future live-action appearances. They’re hardly predictable choices as far as characters worth spotlighting go, but their unlikely popularity follows a mold that’s quietly brought DC consistent success over the past few years.
