James Gunn Says Batman, Superman are DCU’s ‘Diamonds’ – But Who Else Could Sparkle?

James Gunn talking about DC characters like Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.
  • Who are the true ‘diamonds’ of the DC Universe?
  • James Gunn’s big plans for the next decade.
  • Which new faces could totally shine!

Okay, friends, we just caught the latest scoop from James Gunn himself! He’s been chatting on Threads again, and trust us, it’s pretty interesting stuff for anyone who loves the DC world.

Remember back in January ’23? That’s when Gunn first laid out his huge 8-10 year plan for the DC Universe. Now, he’s just cleared things up even more. Big news!

He’s calling Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman the ‘diamond characters’. You know, the core, the absolute classics. They have this iconic, powerful visual style that just *works*, always. So strong.

But here’s the fun part: he also thinks characters like Krypto, John Stewart (that’s a Green Lantern!), and even Peacemaker could ‘turn into diamonds’ too! That’s a serious glow-up potential for these guys.

This clarifies how he sees the big picture evolving over the next decade. It’s exciting to think about who might truly blossom and grab our attention next. It makes us think about those moments when something truly transforms, like seeing Jimmy Fallon and Jamie Lee Curtis absolutely nail an impression. Pure magic, right?
