The Eisner-Nominated team of writer Christopher Priest (Black Adam) and Artist Carlo Pagulayan (Deathstroke) are reuniting for a 10-issue Superman series, Superman: Lost. The first issue of Superman: Lost will be available at local comic book shops on March 14.
“Superman: Lost has been several years in the making and it’s been incredibly difficult for me to keep quiet about this,” said Writer Christopher Priest. “I am absolutely delighted to be reunited with my Deathstroke team as we explore the emotional toll a tragic loss exacts. A man of steel, from an alien species, is ultimately the most human among us. And finding his way home is only the beginning.”
SUPERMAN’S ODYSSEY OF SOLITUDE! After Superman is called away on a routine Justice League mission, Lois Lane awakens to find a complete stranger standing in her living room. The Man of Steel, home much sooner than expected, reveals he has, in fact, been lost in space for 20 years. Nothing and no one seem familiar to him anymore, and the timeless bond between them has been severed...or has it? Can love conquer all? Superman’s 85th anniversary celebration continues with this all new blockbuster 10-issue, self-contained series from the creators of the Eisner-nominated Deathstroke series!

Call it DC Rebirth or DC: Genesis. Maybe call it Identity Crisis or Flashpoint. These titles of past DC comics event series aptly describe the state of Warner Bros.’ DC movies, which are on the cusp of a new era but not before a potentially messy transition period.
A cleaning of the slate is common when a new executive team is put in place to run a studio or division but there is likely little precedent for the amount of Clorox James Gunn and Peter Safran could spray as they prepare to launch DC Studios and guide superhero movies for the next half decade and beyond.
Multiple sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman 3 is not moving forward and is considered dead in its current incarnation.
Sources say that Jenkins recently submitted her treatment, co-written with Geoff Johns, and that Gunn and Safran, as well as Warner Bros. Pictures co-chairs and co-CEOs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy, broke the news to the filmmaker, telling her the project — as it stood — did not fit in with the new (but still unfolding) plans.

According to those in the know, it was Patty Jenkins who walked away after receiving notes on the treatment she submitted to the studio. Apparently her threequel pitch had character arc problems that rivaled those of Wonder Woman 1984, which — despite being impacted at the box office by closed NYC and L.A. theaters during Covid and the studio’s HBO Max/day-and-date plan — was panned by critics at 58% Rotten and not a rave with fans with a B+ Cinemascore despite the first one getting an A. One rival studio executive observed the potential problem in the current DC setup of having a filmmaker like Gunn providing notes to an established filmmaker like Jenkins, but we hear that Warner Bros. Motion Picture chiefs Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy had concerns about the treatment before Safran and Gunn weighed in. The group provided notes. Jenkins fought back and defended her vision that the threequel’s character arcs were solid. Jenkins was given the opportunity for another pass but opted to walk.

Two of DC's most beloved superheroes are joining forces for an epic battle. On Friday, DC announced the first details surrounding Lazarus Planet: Revenge of the Gods, a four-issue bi-weekly miniseries that is set to launch in March. The miniseries, which is written by G. Willow Wilson with art by Cian Tormey, will surround Wonder Woman and the Shazam! family in a fight against the gods of the DC Universe. The storyline of Revenge of the Gods will also stretch into Wonder Woman #797 and #798, with those issues featuring Mary Marvel backups from Josie Campbell and Caitlin Yarsky.
Revenge of the Gods will be the next chapter of Lazarus Planet, the upcoming DC event that was initially expected to only span January and February, and which is part of the larger yearlong storytelling initiative, Dawn of DC. Lazarus Planet: Revenge of the Gods takes place immediately after the events of Lazarus Planet. The gods of the Multiverse have decided to take down the heroes they once called champions and the world they've sworn to protect. For years the gods sat idle atop their mountains as their legends faded into obscurity along with their bodies. Now is their time to remind the selfish mortals of their existence and take back the world with something more powerful than belief...fear. Only the brave heroes Wonder Woman and Shazam stand in their way, but will their combined powers be enough?
