DC Teases New Version of Its Next Movie Team

DC Teases New Version of Its Next Movie Team

As a long-time DC enthusiast and aficionado of the intricacies of the multiverse, I find myself thoroughly enthralled by the recent developments surrounding The Authority. Having grown up with tales of Apollo, Midnighter, and their antihero counterparts, the prospect of seeing them grace the silver screen is nothing short of exhilarating.


The cultural impact of DC is set to transform over the coming years with the introduction of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s lineup of projects at DC Studios. A diverse array of both renowned and lesser-known characters will be showcased across upcoming movies and TV series. Prior to one such property, The Authority, gracing our screens, it has been hinted at significantly in the comics. Warning: Spoilers for Outsiders #11 from Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing, Robert Carey, Valentina Taddeo, and Tom Napolitano follow! Read on if you wish to be informed!

The issue culminates the fight of Kate Kane / Batwoman, Luke Fox / Batwing, and Lucius Fox to save the multiverse from Jakita Wagner / Drummer. Once the dust settles and reality is seemingly saved, the series jumps a few months into the future, as Kate and Luke reconnect while out on patrol in Gotham. Luke mentions that his Outsiders team now consists of Jenny Crisis, Jinny Hex, and other young heroes who appeared throughout the series — but that the team wants a name with a bit more “authority.” While the issue does not confirm it outright, this dialogue certainly seems to tease that a new version of The Authority could be on the horizon. This would be the second publishing initiative tied to The Authority that DC has published recently, in addition to Tom King and Jeff Spokes’ Jenny Sparks miniseries.

What Is The Authority Movie About?

In simple terms, “The Authority” is a group of unconventional heroes, as depicted in the comics, consisting of characters such as Apollo, Jenny Quantum, Jenny Sparks, Midnighter, Deathblow, Engineer, Flint, Freefall, Grifter, Jack Hawksmoor, Rainmaker, and Swift. The plot details for the upcoming “The Authority” movie are being kept secret, but it’s been hinted that it will offer a unique twist on the superhero genre. As of now, there is no confirmed director or release date for this film.

In a conversation with journalists during the 2023 DCU schedule reveal, Gunn explained that “The Authority” is an unconventional superhero narrative unfamiliar to many. These characters believe the world is irreparably flawed and feel compelled to take extreme measures – such as assassinations, government overthrows, or any action they deem necessary – to rectify the situation. We’ll follow their quest to improve the world.

Outsiders #11 is now available wherever comics are sold.
