James Gunn has once again taken to Threads in defense of his DC universe, and this time, is clarifying his previously proposed eight- to 10-year roadmap for the fictional world and making it clearer where each character stands within it.

“You can look at my quotes from January ’23 when we started and I said we were going to do exactly what we’re doing,” the DC Studios co-head wrote responding to a now-deleted post. “I said some stories would be standalone like the Guardians movies were (which is what Clayface is) and some stories would have part of a larger narrative structure, which is what the Superman Saga is. All that said, each piece of the larger story should work on its own with or without having to see everything else.”
