Batman: The Brave and the Bold

The Dark Knight has been a staple on the big screen, but "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" promises a fresh take. This film will introduce the DCU's Batman and delve into the broader Bat-family, spotlighting Bruce Wayne's son, Damian. With the project facing delays and uncertainties, including whether Andy Muschietti will direct, Gunn stepping in could ensure this pivotal film hits the mark. His experience with emotional father-son dynamics, as seen in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" trilogy, could bring a compelling new dimension to Bruce and Damian's relationship.

The Flash

The Flash is integral to the DCU, serving as a core member of the Justice League and a key player in multiverse narratives. Despite the character's turbulent live-action history, a fresh approach is needed. Gunn's knack for dynamic action and character connection could revitalize The Flash, focusing on Barry Allen or Wally West without overshadowing them with other heroes.

The Authority

Gunn has acknowledged the challenges in developing "The Authority," especially in a landscape filled with similar themes as seen in "The Boys." However, this project is vital to expanding the DCU's scope, particularly with the introduction of characters like María Gabriela de Faría's Engineer in "Superman." Gunn's skill in handling misfit heroes and crafting engaging team dynamics makes him an ideal fit for this film.

Amanda Waller/ARGUS Movie

The planned "Waller" series has faced setbacks, but transforming it into a feature film could be the solution. Amanda Waller and ARGUS are central to the DCU, connecting various storylines from "Creature Commandos" to "Superman." Gunn's involvement could solidify this narrative thread and bring the puppet master's story to the forefront.

Batman & Superman: World's Finest

The 2016 "Batman v Superman" didn't meet expectations, focusing too much on conflict rather than collaboration. A new film showcasing Batman and Superman as allies, tackling threats together, could be a surefire hit. Gunn's ability to write and direct such a crossover could set the stage for the DCU's future successes.

Titans

The Teen Titans have a rich history and a dedicated fanbase. A live-action film could capitalize on this, exploring the team's unique family dynamics. Gunn's success in turning the Guardians into a family could translate well to the Titans, making for a compelling addition to the DCU.

Justice League Dark

With the DCU's first phase titled "Gods and Monsters," the supernatural elements are set to play a significant role. "Justice League Dark" could introduce magical heroes like Zatanna and John Constantine, offering a fresh and eerie take on superhero storytelling. Gunn's flair for handling unconventional teams could make this a standout film.
