A new DC series is coming to Max
When we think of live-action adaptations of superhero universes, we often think of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It must be said that the numerous films that make it up have nevertheless marked an entire period of more than a decade and that, even if they are now running out of steam, they have still managed to establish themselves as true leaders of the genre, far ahead of their competitors from DC. However, we must not forget that the superheroes of this other stable also enjoy great popularity. Great news for all those who prefer the universe of Superman, Batman and the others from the Justice League: A new DC series will be released at the end of the year via the new SVOD Max service.

The latter consists mainly of monsters and is led by a certain Rick Flag Sr. It also consists of Eric Frankenstein, Lady Frankenstein, DR. Nina Mazursky, Doctor Phosphorus, GI robot and Weasel. If these names don’t mean anything to you, it’s normal that none of these characters are really very well known and that’s exactly what James Gunn (the new boss of the DC Universe) taught us with his film Suicide Squad, for example.
