James Gunn and Peter Safran may not have been responsible for the cancellation of Titans and Doom Patrol after their respective fourth seasons, however there’s a excessive probability the duo would have gone forward and accomplished it anyway, seeing because the recently-revealed slate of initiatives indicators {that a} shift in direction of a extra unified DCU was all the time going to be the plan.
With that in thoughts, it’s ironic to notice {that a} DC collection which went through an entire rebrand to let more people know it was a DC series ended up being canceled after investing a lot in its presumed future. Prequel collection Pennyworth – which was given the added subtitle of The Origins of Batman’s Butler previous to its third season – isn’t any extra.
Showrunner Bruno Heller admitted that he tacked on the suffix because not enough people were realizing that the period-set spy thriller was technically a Batman prequel that options future butler Alfred as its principal character, together with recurring elements for Thomas and Martha Wayne.
Pennyworth even received a transfer to HBO Max after spending its first two runs on Epix, which has confirmed to be for completely nothing after it grew to become the newest standalone episodic challenge to be given the boot as Gunn and Safran proceed to stamp their mark on the DC multiverse.
Again, we’re not saying they had been accountable, however an entire overhaul is an entire overhaul nonetheless, and there’s little probability extra adventures for the long run ward of Bruce Wayne would have fit into the theme of Gods & Monsters.
