Here Are 17 DC Shows And Movies Releasing After Superman

The DC entertainment landscape is changing. A new lineup of films and shows is coming, aiming to reshape its movie and TV presence. James Gunn and Peter Safran are leading this creative effort.

Following Superman’s debut, DC Studios is creating a diverse array of films that will develop a dynamic universe featuring cosmic gods, street-level vigilantes, and terrifying monsters.

Here are all the DC movies and shows officially slated to be released after Superman.

1. Peacemaker season 2

Release date: Aug. 21, 2025

The second season of Peacemaker follows the journey of Christopher Smith, portrayed by John Cena, with its events taking place after the Superman film.

Gunn teased in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that season 2 was designed with his new DC universe in mind. “I developed it along the way, in conjunction with the other DC projects that we’re doing, so it’s very much connected to Superman and it’s very much connected to what comes after,” Gunn said. “There might even be one really, really, really big cameo near the end of the show.”

2. Lanterns

Release date: Early 2026

Lanterns is set to debut in early 2026. This mystery series follows Hal Jordan, played by Kyle Chandler, and Jon Stewart, played by Aaron Pierre—two of the most iconic characters who have taken on the role of Earth’s Green Lantern. Together, they investigate a murder in Nebraska.

“The goal is to create something that feels timeless and grounded without sacrificing the magic of the source material,” said showrunner Chris Mundy ( True Detective: Night Country) in a statement.

3. Supergirl

Release Date: June 26, 2026

This upcoming project in the ‘Gods And Monsters’ phase will star Milly Alcock, known for her breakout roles in House of the Dragon and Sirens, in the title role as Superman’s younger cousin. She has previously made a cameo appearance in Superman and is the owner of the dog, Krypto. Craig Gillespie, acclaimed for directing I, Tonya and Cruella, will helm the project, which is set to be released in June 2026.

“We will see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl, raised on a rock, a chip off of Krypton, and who watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life and then come to Earth,” Gunn said of the film in 2023 ( via The Hollywood Reporter).

4. Clayface

Release date: Sept. 11, 2026

Clayface, created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane in 1940, is a former Hollywood actor named Basil Karlo who becomes a shapeshifter. In his quest to maintain his good looks and stardom, he ultimately transforms into a monstrous figure and turns to a life of crime.

James Gunn explained to EW that Clayface was pitched to him by Mike Flanagan, the writer and director behind horror hits like Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House (2018) and The Shining sequel Doctor Sleep (2019). Flanagan penned the script and James Watkins ( Speak No Evil) will direct, with The Batman director Matt Reeves producing.

“It’s a body horror movie,” said Gunn. “It’s a horror movie that, like any cool body horror movie, just happens to be in the DCU.”

5. The Batman: Part II

Release date: Oct. 1, 2027

The Batman was released in 2022 and earned $772 million. It received strong reviews and some Academy Award nominations. Its sequel is significant for the studio but is an Elseworlds story, meaning it is separate from the main DC Universe.

6. Waller

Release date: TBD

Waller is a spinoff from Peacemaker featuring Viola Davis as the bureaucrat Amanda Waller. It was one of the first projects announced by Gunn and Safran after they took over at DC Studios.

The series, written by Christal Henry from Watchmen and Jeremy Carver, the creator of Doom Patrol, is expected to explore Amanda Waller’s story after she is removed from her position as the head of ARGUS. This follows the events of Peacemaker Season 1 and Creature Commandos.

7. Creature Commandos season 2

Release date: TBD

The animated series Creature Commandos debuted the new DC Universe with its first season. Written by James Gunn, it features a black-ops team of monsters created by Amanda Waller.

Due to a very positive response from both critics and fans, a second season of Creature Commandos was confirmed in December 2024 to continue the team’s story, even before the Season 1 finale.

8. Paradise Lost

Release date: TBD

Paradise Lost is a live-action prequel series that explores the dark history and political intrigue of the Amazons on Themyscira, before Wonder Woman’s birth. The show is described as being thematically similar to “Game of Thrones,” and highlights the power struggles, betrayals, and hidden histories of the island’s immortal women.

9. Booster Gold

Release date: TBD

Booster Gold is a comedy about Mike Carter, a former football star from the 25th century. After falling from grace, he steals advanced technology and a time machine to travel to today. His goal is to pretend to be a superhero to gain the fame and fortune he wants. Along the way, he faces a strong feeling of impostor syndrome. Gunn describes this project as a character study of a “lovable loser.”

10. The Brave and the Bold

Release date: TBD

One of the first projects announced by Gunn and Safran, The Brave and the Bold presents an intriguing twist on the classic Batman tale, exploring the dynamic bond between father and son through the eyes of Batman and Robin.

It will be directed by Andy Muschietti ( It, The Flash).

11. The Authority

Release date: TBD

The Authority, described as James Gunn’s “passion project,” is an upcoming film adaptation of superheroes from Wildstorm, which became part of DC Comics in 1998.

Created by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch, the Authority is a team of secret superheroes who save the world by any means necessary. In 2023, James Gunn hinted that these Wildstorm characters will join the DC Universe and interact with its well-known heroes.

” The Authority are a group of superheroes who think the world is broken and they want to fix it by any means necessary,” summarized Gunn.

13. Swamp Thing

Release date: TBD

Described as gothic horror, the film will be written and directed by James Mangold ( A Complete Unknown, Logan) and will be inspired by Alan Moore’s The Saga of the Swamp Thing comic book run from 1984 to 1985.

“While I’m sure DC views Swamp Thing as a franchise, I would be viewing it as a very simple, clean, Gothic horror movie about this man/monster,” Mangold told Variety in 2023, adding that he’d been “toying for years with the idea of making a kind of Frankenstein movie” and that he views it as a “standalone.”

14. Untitled Teen Titans film

Release date: TBD

The film follows the team of sidekicks to the Justice League, with a screenplay supervised by Ana Nogueira.

The team of teenage superheroes debuted in DC comics in the 1960s and gained popularity in the series Titans, which ran from 2018 to 2023.

15. Mister Miracle

Release date: TBD

In June 2025, DC Studios announced that it was developing a series adaptation of the Mister Miracle comic series by Tom King and Mitch Gerads.

The story follows Scott and his wife, Big Barda, as they navigate life on Earth while a war rages between their home worlds of New Genesis and Apokolips, with Darkseid seeking the Anti-Life Equation.

“No prison can hold him. No trap can contain him,” reads a plot synopsis. “He is Scott Free, the worldwide celebrity sensation known as Mister Miracle, and he is the greatest escape artist who ever lived. But can he pull off the ultimate trick – and escape death itself?”

16. Untitled Deathstroke/Bane Movie

Release date: TBD

In late 2024, The Hollywood Reporter announced that the DCU was developing a team-up film featuring two villains, with a screenplay by Matthew Orton (Captain America: Brave New World) currently in progress.

Although there isn’t much information available about Wonder Woman’s status in the DCU, Gunn mentioned to EW in June that a new project centered around the lasso-wielding hero is in the works.

Gunn informed Entertainment Weekly that he has not yet cast Wonder Woman, suggesting that Gal Gadot, who played the character in the DCEU, may not return.
