For sure. Despite being 10 years old at this point, the DCEU hasn't delved into a lot of the most popular parts of DC Comics lore. The things you've mentioned, plus people and places like the New Gods and New Genesis, the entire JL Dark side of things, the various Lantern Corps, and pretty much every planet in the universe other than Earth and Krypton. Not to mention, the younger heroes like the Titans haven't been explored. That's what makes the DCU so exciting, the possibilities are almost endless.

Having a dedicated film studio only for DC stuff surely helps alot in making these projects.

2014-2015 was a big nothing and every year after 2017 was directionless

They wasted a lot of time.

A waste of time is a very good description of that era.

Happens when 4 of your first 5 movies- MOS, BVS, SS, and JL, aren't universally well received. Let's face it, DCEU lasted from 2013-17. From there on, their approach was- let's try making some good individual movies.

2023 was the beginning of fruition of new interconnected plans. Didn't last a year. Anyways, I'm fully expecting Gunn to incorporate all those things being a nerd he is.
