In the ever-expanding DC Universe, James Gunn's upcoming adaptation of Wildstorm characters has sparked discussions about their compatibility within the existing DCU. Wildstorm characters, including those from the acclaimed series Planetary, may not fit seamlessly into the DCU due to conflicts with existing DC heroes. Planetary features DC pastiches and a darker, grittier tone that doesn't align with the traditional outlook of upcoming DC movies.
The integration of Wildstorm characters into the DCU raises questions about how they will be portrayed and how they will interact with the Justice League. The DCU, an upcoming media franchise and shared universe based on DC Comics publications, aims to establish a tightly-knit storyline across various media. While other comic imprints like Vertigo, Milestone, and Charlton may be better suited for the DCU due to their more grounded and interconnected nature with DC characters, the inclusion of Wildstorm characters presents a unique challenge.
It remains to be seen how James Gunn will navigate the integration of Wildstorm characters into the DCU and how their presence will impact the overall narrative. Fans are curious to see how these characters will be adapted and if they will maintain their distinct tone and style. The upcoming adaptation will test the boundaries of the DCU and offer a fresh perspective on the interconnectedness of different comic book universes.
In addition to the integration of Wildstorm characters, a new cosmic force known as the Stillness has emerged in DC Comics' Flash Annual 2024. Written by Simon Spurrier and drawn by Scott Koblish, Amancay Nahuelpan, George Kambadais, and Tom Derenick, the Flash Annual introduces the Stillness as a dangerous force encountered by Barry Allen. The Stillness suggests a dark future for the Flash Family, with Wally West missing and trapped in a garden outside of space and time. This implies a perilous future for all speedsters.
The Stillness also hints at the connection between the Speed Force and the Source Wall, a mysterious structure in the DC Universe. The Flash's new power to peer into reality's hidden layers may lead to conflict between Wally West and Barry Allen. The article suggests that the Stillness may be a dark omen for the Flash Family, potentially leading to their end. The Source Wall is described as the key to great power and speed.
As fans eagerly await the adaptation of Wildstorm characters in the DCU, they are also intrigued by the implications of the Stillness for the Flash Family. The upcoming developments in the DC Universe promise to push the boundaries of storytelling and explore new dimensions of interconnected comic book universes.
