Following the soaring success of Superman, DC Studios is now moving quickly to build on that momentum. As a direct result, the studio has officially greenlit new films for both Batman and Wonder Woman. Furthermore, this decisive move marks the beginning of a bold new era — one that is confidently led by James Gunn and Peter Safran.
Zaslav Confirms Batman and Wonder Woman Are Moving Forward
In a recent interview with The New York Times, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav revealed:
“Supergirl has already been shot. They’re working on Wonder Woman. They’re working on Batman.”
Moreover, he emphasized that DC is now WBD’s “biggest strategic opportunity.”
Clearly, this announcement confirms that DC’s long-awaited reboot is finally gaining momentum. After years of uncertainty, the studio is now, at last, placing its core heroes front and center.
Gunn Offers Insight on Script Progress
Meanwhile, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn confirmed in an interview with Urbana Play that the scripts for both The Brave and the Bold and the Wonder Woman reboot are currently in development.
“It’s not gonna be ’til the script is ready. Both scripts are being written now. If they’re good, we’ll go to production immediately.”
Additionally, Gunn stressed that production will only move forward if the scripts are “fantastic.” As a result, this signals a deliberate shift toward quality-first storytelling — a welcome change for longtime DC fans.

A Bold Vision for the Future of DC
Notably, Zaslav credited Superman’s impressive $122 million domestic debut as the beginning of a new era for DC. In addition, he praised Gunn and Safran’s leadership for steering the franchise in a bold new direction:
“We were underdeveloped in DC. Now it’s our biggest creative opportunity.”
With a focus on fewer, higher-quality stories, DC Studios is reimagining how it brings its iconic heroes to life.
With both Batman and Wonder Woman movies moving forward, fans can expect a bold and revitalized DC Universe. Under Gunn and Safran’s guidance, the future looks more promising than ever.
