Those wondering where Superman lands on the new DCU timeline have their answer.

DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn set theSupermanmovie’s place on the upcoming DCU timeline into stone.

Also of note is thatSupermanwill seemingly avoid the classic origin story seen in past Man of Steel outings.

When asked by a fan if this was true, Gunn put the rumor to rest.

Plenty of fun appearances in ‘Creature Commandos’ but no Lex, young or otherwise.

And ‘CC’ happens only months before ‘Superman.'"

Creature Commandos, Superman

This will come shortly after his animated debut inCreature Commandos.

However,details on his roles in both projects are being kept under wraps.

Even with minimal details about both projects, the excitement for them being so profoundly connected is palpable.
