While the jury is out on the DC Universe's new slate, James Gunn's announcement led to a boom in back issue sales, particularly first appearances of The Authority, Booster Gold, Damian Wayne, and others.

Not everyone was happy with the line-up of upcoming DC Universe projects DC Studios Co-CEO James Gunn shared on his social media channels and that will replace the previous DC Extended Universe .

However, it has sparked interest in the source material (i.e. comic books) of these properties. This is particularly true for obscure ones that the general public was not aware of.

Gunn shared the slate of DC Universe projects for Warner Bros. that he and DC Studios Co-CEO Peter Safran are hashing out, on February 1, 2023. The Twitter post alone has had 5 million views, though the response of the DC fans have been mixed, with some being happy with the reveals, while others range from indifferent to negative.
