The DC Universe is undergoing a significant transformation. Past financial setbacks, inconsistent storytelling, and a lack of cohesive vision have led to a major leadership change. James Gunn, known for his ability to elevate lesser-known characters, is spearheading this revitalization. His success with *Creature Commandos*, with a sequel already in the works, demonstrates his potential to reshape the DCU.
