One of the defining issues of the DCU’s first decade was constant behind-the-scenes reshuffles and studio interference, something that will hopefully come to an end soon James Gunn and Peter Safran regime.

To put things in perspective, at various points in the existence of the shared superhero universe, names like Zack Snyder, Walter Hamada, Jon Berg, Geoff Johns, David Zaslav, Michael de Luca, Pamela Adby, Ann Sarnoff, and more all have one thing to say about the direction of DC Comics’ adaptations, an approach that has hardly worked wonders.

Since their appointment, Gunn and Safran have repeatedly stressed that the days of doggedly meddling with projects – something that has affected them Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, suicide squadAnd birds of prey to name just three – are over, with co-CEOs being the first and last line of defense when it comes to making the biggest calls.

But while concerns are raised that history may end up repeating itself, the Protector of the Galaxy The director accidentally channeled Emperor Palpatine’s famous “I am the Senate” line when dispelling doubts about the length of Safran’s creative lines.

So the buck stops at Gunn and Safran, which is either a huge plus or an annoying negative depending on which side of the DCU divide you decide to set up shop on. SnyderVerse backers are still furious and will inevitably continue to destroy whatever comes down the pipeline, but the best and easiest (though never the easiest) way to convince the doubters is to keep making top-notch comic book content stake toss the park forever.
