RUMOR: Warner Bros. Planning On Following TWO DC Cinematic Universes?

Warner Bros. are close to agreeing a DC animation deal with Amazon

As hard as Warner Bros. has tried to replicate the Marvel Studios formula in their DC Extended Universe, the results have been decidedly…mixed. Sure, with the exception of Justice League, each of their movies have been very successful financially, though the big problem has been their critical and fan reception. As a result, we’re seeing something of a splinter in terms of their universes.

On one hand, we have the universe of undeniable successes: Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam!, and Suicide Squad (sort of, as the characters were well-received enough for a sequel and spinoff). According to Fandomwire, Warner Bros. plans to move forward with these films in the existing universe. But this leaves two problems: Batman and Superman. Neither of these characters seems present in these worlds now.

We already know The Batman from Matt Reeves is going to be set decades in the past, but the outlet is reporting that if there is ever a Joker utilized, it would be a different one — meaning this film will create yet another universe. And then we have rumors of J.J. Abrams creating another reboot of Superman, one that will likely exist in the same universe as Robert Pattinson’s Batman.

And thus, we have a supposed set of two universes — three if the Joker universe takes off in any meaningful way.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard something like this. Last June, We Got This Covered reported something similar, so while each outlet on their own may not really be that credible, the fact that there are two is interesting.

Additionally, it’s worth pointing out that all of this could change at the drop of a hat. We know that Warner Bros. tends to be reactionary, so if there are a couple of failures, they may change course yet again.
