I would like to see Brainiac av the villain. But in a universe where Krypto the Super dog exists, I wouldn’t feel that the pre-crisis Terra-Man or Vartox was out of place.

So give me a movie with Superman versus Terra-Man on a winged horse.

Yeah, and the show is very careful about having diverse scenes normally.

DC Studios Taps ‘American Vandal’ Creators for Jimmy Olsen TV Spinoff (Exclusive) – The Hollywood Reporter

The show would be led by Skyler Gisondo, reprising his role as Daily Planet photographer Jimmy Olsen, with season one focusing on Gorilla Grodd.

Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda, who created the award-winning mockumentary American Vandal, are going into the DC Universe.

The duo will write, executive produce and showrun the Superman movie TV spinoff to star Skyler Gisondo, the actor who played Daily Planet photographer and unlikely ladies’ man Jimmy Olsen.

Gisondo and the character became a true breakout from James Gunn’s summer movie, and a show was put into development around him. The concept centers on Olsen, as well as other Daily Planet reporters (minus Lois Lane and Clark Kent), who tackle cases involving super-powered villains.

Gorilla Grodd would be in the spotlight for the season. Grodd is a super-intelligent evil ape who rules a secret African city named Gorilla City. The character is a key antagonist for the Flash, and first appeared in an issue of the Scarlet Speedster’s comics back in 1959. He was created by John Broome and Carmine Infantino.

Gunn and his DC Studios co-chief Peter Safran will executive produce. Galen Vaisman is overseeing for DC.

Perrault and Yacenda running the show tips off the tone of the series. The comedy writing duo got a big break with American Vandal, which parodied true-crime series but with a story about an investigation into who and why someone vandalized a school parking lot with phallic images. The show earned a Peabody Award as well as an Emmy nomination.

First Lanterns Teaser Trailer Description Reveals 4th Green Lantern – Super Hero Hype

A new preview for DC Studios’ Lanterns series has reportedly surfaced, drawing attention after its debut at the HBO Max Upfront event in São Paulo. The teaser offers the first look at the long-awaited Green Lantern project and provides key story details. With its 2026 premiere approaching, interest in the series continues to grow.

At the HBO Max Upfront event held in São Paulo on November 25, 2025, DC Studios unveiled the first teaser trailer for its upcoming series Lanterns, as reported by Omelette.com.

The teaser, not yet released online, shows Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) training together for several months. It presents Hal as a “substitute teacher” figure, though it does not reveal whom he replaces. The footage includes a brief scene of Hal flying and mentions Ch’p, DCU’s fourth Green Lantern after Guy Gardner, Hal, and John. Ch’p is a squirrel-like Green Lantern Corps member from the comics.

The teaser sets the story in rural areas of the United States. It uses a western tone and brownish hues in both the setting and costumes. Stewart and Jordan argue, with Stewart claiming he outperforms Hal in saving lives. The preview does not show either character in an official Green Lantern uniform.

The eight-episode series follows Stewart and Jordan as they investigate a murder in the American heartland, possibly involving a Green Lantern Corps member. The case leads to Stewart receiving his power ring and uncovering a dark, Earth-based mystery.

Executive producers Damon Lindelof, Chris Mundy, and Tom King co-wrote the story. Mundy stated, “Our show is in a lot of ways about replacement—when should someone step aside and when is it time for the next person to take the reins?” (via Men’s Health)

The cast includes Garret Dillahunt and Kelly Macdonald. Nathan Fillion returns as Guy Gardner, reprising his role from Superman.

The series is expected to premiere in the second half of 2026 on HBO and HBO Max.

Scarlett Johansson in Final Talks to Join ‘The Batman’ Sequel – Hollywood Reporter

Four years after leaving the Marvel Cinematic Universe behind, Scarlett Johansson is headed to DC’s Gotham City.

Sources say the actress is in final negotiations to join The Batman Part II, the long-gestating sequel to Matt Reeves’ 2021 hit. If the deal comes together, it’d be a jolt for the project which aims to go before cameras next year. She will first film The Exorcist, to which she signed on last week, before moving on to Batman.

Johansson is one of the more bankable stars in the world, with her work in Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff in the MCU just part of her hits, which include July’s Jurassic World: Rebirth. She also recently released her directorial debut, the low-key drama Eleanor the Great, starring June Squibb.

It’s so clever, because she’s a teenage girl and they say “whatever” all the time.

She’s wearing sunglasses, headphones, and a trenchcoat! Real young people do that, too!

She’s relatable!

She’s nicked Star Lord’s Walkman by the looks of it.

That did absolutely nothing for me. Pass.

What a bold departure for Gunn’s DC. I wouldn’t mind it being another version of Guardians but it’s not even him directing this one.

I like the trailer a lot. I also liked the book it’s based on, so I’m very much sold on this.
