The DC Cinematic Universe (DCCU) is an imagined cinematic universe based on DC Comics characters. Unlike the failed DC Extended Universe, the DCCU is connected to the existing Dark Knight Trilogy and thus commences with the release of Batman Begins.
Plans for a large-scale interconnected DC franchise began after the success of The Dark Knight Rises. Solo films for Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman were subsequently released to critical acclaim. The culmination of these films, along with the ground-breaking crossover film Superman and Wonder Woman, led to the release of The Justice League. The success of that film opened up the DCCU to produce numerous films and streaming series based on different storylines deep in the DC lore. Films became increasingly more diverse in genre - including comedy, adventure, fantasy, and science fiction. The core over-arching storylines, however, were more serious in tone, compared to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The DCCU is split into three chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the universe and builds up to Darkseid's invasion. Chapter 2 focuses on the expansion of the universe and culminates with the Flashpoint storyline. Chapter 3 is based on the Crisis storylines and introduces the multiverse, which features DC characters from other media, including the Arrowverse, original Batman movie series, and more. A minor crossover with the Marvel Cinematic Universe also occurs.
The Justice League movies are the premier event films of the DCCU. They are split up into three trilogies. The original Justice League members are Superman, Batman (Bruce Wayne), Wonder Woman (Diana), The Flash (Barry Allen), Aquaman (Arthur Curry), Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), and Martian Manhunter. Other team-up movies include The Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, Teen Titans, Gotham City Sirens, and Green Lantern Corps.
