The DCU is, as they say, booked and busy. James Gunn and Peter Safran's fledgling universe at DC Studios currently contains Creature Commandos, Peacemaker, and Superman – with Supergirl and Clayface still to come this year.

But what of the lesser-heralded titles, including a Booster Gold series and a Themyscira-set Paradise Lost that Safran once described as featuring a "Game of Thrones-ish story"?

Replying to a fan on Threads enquiring about the projects, Gunn wrote, "[Booster Gold] is in development. [Paradise Lost] is in extreme development."

Reading between the lines, it appears a Paradise Lost announcement – be that casting or otherwise – could be forthcoming, though Booster Gold is a little more off into the future.

Paradise Lost will be set on Wonder Woman's home and aims to dig into the political machinations of the warrior-filled island.

"This drama is really about the political intrigue behind the society of all women. How did that come about?" Safran posited years back at a DCU slate.

Booster Gold, a series about the titular hero sent back in time, has had a stop-start history, supposedly being put on the backburner last year before being revived once more in July.

Gunn also offered a reason as to why one initial DCU project, The Authority, never saw the light of day.

"The script wasn't quite there but more importantly it didn't work in terms of the larger DCU both in terms of the story and practical concerns. Maybe some day. Not soon," Gunn revealed of the adaptation of the battle-hardened wet work super group.
