With plenty of multiverses and different continuities out there, the old DCU may not be gone forever.
Since October, DC Studios has been restructuring like there's no tomorrow. Just before James Gunn and Peter Safran took over, it was announced that Henry Cavill would be returning as Superman in more upcoming DC film projects after Black Adam. Sadly, this news was retracted only two months later as plans for a new Superman feature film without Cavill were revealed, with Gunn writing the screenplay.
When Disney bought Lucasfilm, the entire Star Wars Expanded Universe of comic books, video games, novels, and more was removed from the overall canon. This meant that everything outside of George Lucas' original Star Wars saga and Star Wars: The Clone Wars was obsolete, which allowed Disney to re-build the greater Star Wars universe from the ground up without having to worry about breaching continuity errors in preparation for what would become the sequel trilogy.
James Gunn Can Take a Page From Disney's Book James Gunn has made it clear that going forward, DC Studios is planning on exploring both a new shared cinematic universe - one somewhat inspired by how the animated series Justice League Unlimited and Young Justice functioned - as well as standalone "Elseworlds" stories.
In truth, a newly formed DC Universe will allow for a cohesive, well-integrated story to be told, hopefully focusing just as much on the individual characters as it does on building a universe. If Justice League Unlimited and Young Justice are truly the models for how Gunn and Safran are approaching the new cinematic universe, there’s still hope for individual characters like Batman, Superman, and a host of others to shine through.
