DC Studios co-chairman James Gunn has defended the DCU's approach to interconnected stories, saying he doesn't want movies like Clayface to exist just to "set up" crossovers. Clayface poured into the DCU when it brought the tragic story of Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries) to theaters yesterday. Despite solid scores from critics and fans (IGN gave it a 7/10 review), there are DC watchers who have continued to complain that executives like Gunn and co-chairman Peter Safran haven't done a good job of using smaller stories to build toward bigger tie-in projects. Speaking of the Superman sequel, a small group of people has now seen director's cuts of the film, with Gunn calling the process "exciting" as he tries "to recut over the week and screen the latest version for a few new eyes every Friday." Meanwhile, Elseworlds sequel, The Batman Part 2, is still seemingly on track for its February 18, 2028, release date despite recent behind-the-scenes shuffling.
