How to reboot a universe

James Gunn and Peter Safran have revealed their opening moves for a new DC cinema and TV universe. And, well, not all what I would have done. For one I would have quietly dropped The Flash movie.

(I also remember the last time a cinematic universe was launched with a reference to gods and monsters...)

So what would I do?

I would have kept the essentials, the big three. And hey, we can have a separate The Batman continuity. And a separate Superman one too, and Wonder Woman, and...

Going with some surprise choices is good, even if the ones they’re going with aren’t ones I would have gone with. (And I would happily make Creature Commandos a thing but I’m surprised to see that animated series on the list.)
