Elsewhere, another DC superhero movie team-up movie has been slowly, yet steadily, brewing: Dark Universe, the adaptation of the Justice League Dark comic book series – which revolves around such dark supernaturally-oriented characters as John Constantine, Swamp Thing, Zatanna and Etrigan the Demon, among others – that has long been spear-headed by geek-favorite filmmaker, Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy 1 & 2, Pacific Rim).
It was also previously reported that the Dark Universe movie narrative by del Toro follows John Constantine – so it stands to reason that the upcoming animated Justice League Dark film will similarly provide clues about what to expect from Liman’s Dark Universe.
Variety is reporting that Doug Liman is set to direct Dark Universe, with the most recent draft of the Dark Universe script being the one that del Toro put together.
The Flash, The Batman solo movie, Dark Universe and Man of Steel 2 are currently without a release dates.
