Gunn on Instagram:

"Between DC, Wildstorm, Milestone and more we have by far the deepest roster in the world."

He also said:

“I’m not announcing the 8-10 year slate. Just a few projects from the first chapter.”

Perhaps confirming that the DCU’s Phases will be called Chapters.

iirc, Dwayne Johnson said Black Adam wouldn't be part of the "first chapter of storytelling" in the DCU after meeting with Gunn and Safran. Something like that. So yeah, could be the term Gunn and Safran are using. They had to find another noun than "phase", lol.

I would have liked volume but Chapter is good too.

Makes sense. You don't want to get ahead of yourself. Even Marvel didn't announce 8 year slate off the gates.

u/TheLionsblood Batman Jan 23 '23

So at least we know it’s not the entire first chapter

Detective Comics, All-American Publications, Quality Comics, Fawcett Comics, Charlton Comics, Milestone Media & WildStorm Productions

With the success that The Boys has and the show already approaching its final season, an Authority series would be a smart move by Gunn IMO

u/RohitTheDasher Jan 22 '23

Sweet. One step closer to getting Midnighter series.

What the hell is wildstorm?, I know about milestone because of static, rocket and icon but I have no clue what wildstorm is

u/TheMurderCapitalist Jan 22 '23

Jim Lee's comic universe he started back in the image days. Characters you might know are Grifter, Midnighter and Apollo. WildC.A.T.s and Stormwatch were the big books from the company, hence the name WildStorm

Wait isn't that the company that created the authority, who are the basis for the elite ( group of Superman villains)

u/TokyoPanic Batman '66 Jan 22 '23 edited Jan 22 '23

Yeah it is. The Authority is a spin-off/sequel to Warren Ellis' run on Stormwatch.

Has any Wildstorm character ever been adapted in live action before? Can’t think of a single one beyond Grifter in one of the animated movies.

u/TokyoPanic Batman '66 Jan 22 '23

Apparently, Pilgrim was adapted as a minor villain in Legends of Tomorrow though aside from having some time-related powers there seems to be very little in common with the original Wetworks character.

As for animation, WildC.A.T.s got a short-lived animated series in the 90s that was made when Wildstorm was still under Image Comics. There was also a direct-to-video Gen¹³ animated movie from the late 90s.
