News on director Guillermo del Toro's upcoming DC Comics movie Dark Universe (aka Justice League: Dark) has been minimal at best. At least late last year the director did reveal the script is finished and is being handed into Warner Brothers as soon as possible. Now Elmayimbe of Latino-Review revealed to that the line-up for the film includes John Constantine, Deadman, Zatana and Jason Blood.

Now while the film was announced with the other DC slate (it maybe in a separate universe) many fans are hoping Matt Ryan (Above) from NBC's Constantine gets the chance to portray the character on the big screen. The last actor to play the character on the big screen was Keanu Reeves in the feature film adaption. All I say is if Doctor Fate actually makes an appearance on the show or in the film they better get Kevin Michael Richardson to voice that character.

Guillermo del Toro maybe hard at work prepping for production on Pacific Rim 2 but many have wondered what ever happened to just Justice League: Dark adaption titled Dark Universe. Word has been very quiet on the Vertigo/DC Comics adaption ever since NBC put into production the Constantine TV series starring Matt Ryan. Last we heard was that del Toro had finished his treatment on the story and was searching for a screenwriter to write the script.

Well while speaking with Forbes the director reveals that the script has indeed been completed and has just been sent to Warner Brothers over the weekend. This just comes mere days after NBC announced that production on Constantine would be halted after 13-episodes and a second season hanging in the balance. Could this actually be the break star Matt Ryan needs to star in Dark Universe as the "Master of the Dark Arts" John Constantine on the big screen? NBC and Warner Brothers could have the series wrap up as prequel leading directly into Guillermo del Toro's Dark Universe.

Even though Dark Universe wasn't on DC Comics most recent film slate it's entirely possible that it will be announced with a slate of Vertigo titles set within the "Vertigo Universe" as suggested by Sandman creator Neil Gaiman. Sandman is another title in the works by actor and director Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

The question of this day in age in comic film or TV adaptions is are they all connected? Marvel has done it first literally connecting their movies with television and soon netflix shows like Daredevil all into one massive shared universe. So the question remained will DC do the same thing? This is something that has plagued DC fans since Arrow lit up the small screen on The CW. Will Stephen Amell's Arrow ever meet up with Henry Cavill's Superman? Well at this past year's Comic-Con it seemed DC head Geoff Johns put that theory to rest that Arrow & it's spin-off show The Flash are in a separate universe than Henry Cavill and Ben Afflecks Batman & Superman. But was he lying? He was and he wasn't.

Today, Geoff Johns spoke with BuzzFeed to confirm that DC is trying to actual create a cinematic multiverse!

“We look at it as the multiverse. We have our TV universe and our film universe, but they all co-exist. For us, creatively, it’s about allowing everyone to make the best possible product, to tell the best story, to do the best world. Everyone has a vision and you really want to let the visions shine through. I think the characters are iconic enough. I like [Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.] a lot. I love what Marvel does. I’m a huge fan. It’s just a different approach.”

Now for some of you who don't know DC had a multiverse with multiple "earths". That means one superhero may live their whole life in one universe and have a slightly different version on the second earth. Or one superhero maybe one person on Earth-1 but on Earth-2 the mantle is taken up by someone else like Jay Garrick & Barry Allen both being The Flash. And The Flash is the one who first learns of the multiverse....Which is also teased at the end of The Flash pilot episode.

Now if DC can actually pull off doing a multiverse that means while the TV & Film universe are connected they are separate at the same time. What ever happens on film won't dictate what happens on TV and vice-versa. So the writers still have creative freedom and aren't held down by each others contradicting storylines. That is until DC finally pulls out their wild card and does a Crisis on Infinite Earths movie which will have all the universes collide into one another.  But this type of massive movie is obviously far down the line for DC...

So  as far as we know we have the Man of Steel Universe, the Arrow-Verse and last week Sandman creator Neil Gaiman mentions DC has yet to announce a slate of Vertigo Universe movies that are coming out like Sandman or Justice League: Dark which would give us a third universe. It's unknown where Gotham, Constantine, Lucifer, Teen Titans, Supergirl, or Static Shock fit within these universes or others.

Lastly, he adds that maybe one day they will have a crossover but not anytime soon...

"There’s been discussions over the years for both, obviously. You never say never. Maybe one day we’ll link a show to a film if it makes sense, but the creative process we’re going through right now is to let the stuff live and breathe and be its own thing and own it."

Last week DC announced a bombshell of news regarding their upcoming DC slate of films through 2020. They officially announced films like Justice League Part 1 & 2, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash and Suicide Squad. But many were wondering where Joseph Gordan-Levitt's upcoming Sandman adaption was? Well now the creator of Sandman Neil Gaiman has revealed that it's because a "Vertigo Slate" has yet to be announced?!

It seems DC finally has a plan! Last month Nikki Finkie dropped the scoop that a slew of DC movies where coming out of the woodwork. Including Shazam and a Green Lantern/Flash team-up and claimed they would be announced at Comic-Con several weeks ago.

"Shazam (July 2016), Sandman (Christmas 2016), Justice League (May 2017), Wonder Woman (July 2017), Flash/Green Lantern team-up (Christmas 2017), and Man of Steel 2 (May 2018)."

 Well Comic-Con came and went with not even a hint of their future plans. Finkie went onto claim that DC was upset the information leaked and simply wimped out of the announcement. It certainly seemed she was just covering her own failed scoop. Well, maybe she wasn't wrong afterall...

The Wrap just announced that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has moved up from May 2016 to March 25th, 2016. They go onto to announce 9 untitled feature films coming out of DC with 2 additional "WB event films"!

 If the WB Event Film is a Justice League team-up that means they moved the date from 2017 to 2018. But it is unknown at this time what these "WB Event Films" are....Some are speculating they are for the Harry Potter spin-offs Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them

By 2017 we're going to be up to at least seven super-hero movies every year, between WB, Disney, Fox and Sony.

So far the actors in this great DC Cinematic Universe is Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg and Dwayne Johnson in an unknown role (Most likely Shazam)

Other possible DC films include Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Sandman and Guillermo del Toro's Justice League: Dark but it's unknown if these supernatural films will be in the DCCU. On top of all the solo films rumored...

Superhero! Hype caught up Pacific Rim and Hellboy director Guillermo del Toro about his project at Warner Brothers titled Dark Universe based on the Justice League: Dark comics:

In a recent interview with Pacific Rim director Guillermo del Toro at Cinefilos he was questioned on the status of his DC Comics property Justice League: Dark. He gave a pretty generic answer on the development but did indicate that DC is trying to connect all their own property's into one massive universe:

"We're still on [Justice League Dark], writing, and hopefully it will happen but there are no developments that are new. We're still at Warner Bros., they are making plans for the entire DC universe. All the superheroes, all the mythologies, and part of that is Justice League Dark. They're planning on TV, movies, and all the media, so we have to fit into that plan."

 It's good this movie is still in development cause even though I'm not a massive Dark Universe fan I do for some reason want this made. The question is how will this and NBC's Constantine connect? Same actor? What?
