The DCU"s First Look At Gotham City Has Me Even More Excited For Its Upcoming Batman Movie The Brave And The Bold
Warning! This article contains minor spoilers for Creature Commandos.
I have to admit, the DCU"s first look at Gotham caught me off guard, but I"m so excited to see how it all shapes up in live-action in The Brave and the Bold. First of all, if you haven"t been keeping up with Creature Commandos, not only are you missing out on the first official project airing from the DCU, but now you are also missing essential details that will go into making the live-action movies so much better. For example, in episode 6, while exploring the backstory of one character, the show unveils the first official look at Gotham City in the DCU.
While anticipation and excitement is building for the upcoming Superman movie and other projects that are being developed by James Gunn and the team over at DC Studios, there are core characters who will be joining the DCU down the road, but lacking in developments and announcements. Among them is one of my all-time favorite superheroes, Batman. But thankfully, the obscure animated adventure series, Creature Commandos, gave us an unexpected taste of what is to come when the DCU finally does bring the Dark Knight to the big screen.
The DCEU's Gotham City Always Lacked A Real Distinctive Style The DCEU Focused More On Gritty Realism Than Fantasy Close There is a huge challenge that comes with creating live-action superhero movies that can often be overlooked, and that is creating a unique atmosphere and backdrop. The issue is, animated shows can be a lot more creative and playful with style, color tones, and generally making the setting stand out and feel distinct. Meanwhile, in live-action projects, it can often feel as though the fantastical superheroes are simply dropped into the real world.
