Thanks to an assist from James Gunn that enraged the SnyderVerse, Netflix is setting up a DC Universe of its own

Not what the SnyderVerse-ing masses needed to hear.

Those with a soft spot for the SnyderVerse have been left fuming by James Gunn‘s ascension to the role of DC Studios co-CEO, for the sole reason that he isn’t interested in resurrecting or restoring the mythology as he rebuilds the franchise in his own image.

Netflix does have a history with retooling DC properties – especially those from the mind of Neil Gaiman as Lucifer and The Sandman have previously shown – but the architect behind Dead Boy Detectives may have lit another fire under the furious fandom after seeming to confirm that the latter will share a universe with the recently renewed supernatural favorite.

While we shouldn’t expect any direct crossovers between the two, it’s nonetheless interesting to see Gaiman address whether or not The Sandman and Dead Boy Detectives exist in the same continuity, as tenuous as it may be.

After all, the only other property Lucifer connected to was the Arrowverse of all things via Tom Ellis’ cameo in Crisis on Infinite Earths, but beating the SnyderVerse to the punch by establishing a shared DC universe on Netflix will no doubt have people believing that Gunn is trying to irritate them on purpose.
