It was only a matter of time before the leaks began emerging from behind the scenes at DC Studios, with an image purportedly showcasing the potential release order for Chapter 1 – Gods & Monsters making its way online yesterday.
The biggest shocker was that it came after James Gunn and Peter Safran had unveiled the initial slate of projects, though, because very rarely do such major surprises and blockbuster bombshells manage to stay hidden until the day they’re supposed to be rolled out for the world to see.
It’s not a particularly or exciting image, but it does offer a hint as to what could be releasing when, leading the online sleuths to begin speculating wildly. One of the most fascinating subplots to emerge though came from a more boneheaded subset of DCU diehards, though, who seem to be operating under the assumption that Kevin Feige invented the linear timeline.
Believe it or not, film and television titles that are designed to be released in sequential order will indeed form a timeline, something that has been utilized by Marvel Cinematic Universe head honcho Feige for well over a decade, but we’re giving him way much credit to even consider naming him as some sort of temporal pioneer.
Time has always been linear, and the rebuttals to the initial tweet have served to once more underline that not everything has to be boiled down to a Marvel vs. DC argument at the end of the day, but there’s a 99 percent chance it’s going to happen anyway.
