According to Variety, it’s unclear if Gunn’s take on the concept will stick with these iconic horror movie characters, but we do know that Weasel from The Suicide Squad is one of the members of the team, along with Rick Flag Sr. Gunn said that the actors cast to provide voice talent for the animated series will play the roles in DCU live-action projects. Gunn also suggested that animated series allow DC Studios to tell large stories without having to spend “$50 million an episode.”
Other projects announced by DC Studios include Superman: Legacy–billed as the “start of the DCU”–a Batman project called The Brave and the Bold, and a horror film based on Swamp Thing. The studio also announced Lanterns, a series that Safran and Gunn describe as the DCU’s answer to True Detective.
