onfused about the new DCU? We’re answering YOUR biggest questions about James Gunn’s DC Universe — including Batman, Superman, canon, the DCEU, Lanterns, upcoming movies and shows, and where this new universe is headed.

The DC Universe has gone through a LOT of reboots, timelines, and different versions of these characters. So if you're a casual DC fan wondering what's actually canon, what's coming next, what you need to watch, and how it all fits together, this episode is for you.

We tackle questions about Robert Pattinson's Batman, Superman, Lanterns, Harley Quinn, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Nightwing, The Flash, the multiverse, pocket universes, James Gunn, and the future of the DCU.

We also get into some bigger questions: Will the DCU eventually build toward a massive crossover? Will there be Marvel-style phases? Is DC rebooting at the wrong time with superhero fatigue? And is James Gunn the right person to lead DC Studios?
