DC Extended Universe (Hasamu Jenkins)

DC Extended Universe is the expanded film and television universe based on DC Comics, with president and producer, Patty Jenkins, coming up with the creative productions and projects for the cinematic universe at Warner Bros. In 2010, Jenkins signed a contract to start the cinematic universe and hired many directors and even opened to producing R-rated films and TV-MA television shows for darker character arcs such as Batman and Zatanna. She, along with Joss Whedon, Joe Russo, and Christopher Nolan, confirmed that many television series on Fox will be produced and take place in a shared universe. Television shows produced over the years are Deathstroke, Black Lightning, Black Canary, Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Blue & Gold, Red Arrow, Catwoman, Gordon, Constantine, Hawkgirl & Hawkman, and White Canary on Fox. Jenkins stated that she was inspired by the successful Marvel Cinematic Universe's way of dividing the events of their movies; by Phases. Therefore, Jenkins adopted the idea herself for this extended universe.
