The writer-director further expressed that it’s okay for fans to be confused as “no one has seen anything from the DCU yet”. Keeping in mind that the production of DCU’s first major project,Superman: Legacyis moving at a healthy pace, fans will soon get to experience a deeper dive into the new universe. He shared onThreads,
“Nothing is canon until Creature Commandos next year – a sort of aperitif to the DCU – & then a deeper dive into the universe with Superman: Legacy after that. It’s a very human drive to want to understand everything all the time, but I think its okay to be confused on what’s happening in the DCU since no one has seen anything from the DCU yet.”
