James Gunn\u2019s DCU<\/strong><\/a> continues to expand, including a surprising early project that may continue to set up a key supervillain big bad. Starring one of Superman’s<\/em><\/strong><\/a> breakout characters, the newly announced DCU series, DC Crime<\/em>, has lots of potential.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While we don’t know a lot about the first Superman<\/em> spin-off series, we do know that the lead role will belong to Skyler Gisondo’s Jimmy Olsen, photographer and journalist at The Daily Planet (and supposedly still current boyfriend to Eve Tessmacher).<\/p>\n

However, this new spin-off may also help set up a long-term threat in the DCU, positioning a key villain to fill a Thanos-style role James Gunn insists won\u2019t belong to Darkseid.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DC Crime<\/em> is an upcoming DCU series with Gisondo reprising his role as Jimmy Olsen<\/a>, continuing directly from 2025\u2019s Superman<\/em>. Likewise, the show will reportedly follow Oslen as he covers various metahumans and supervillains across the DC Universe for The Daily Planet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The concept alone is incredibly fresh for live-action DC. Instead of a standard superhero narrative, DC Crime<\/em> sounds like it may be a comedic investigative “mockumentary” series that will allow viewers to explore the DCU from more of a grounded human perspective<\/strong>. As such, there’s no better DCU character to provide that perspective than Superman’s pal, Jimmy Olsen.<\/p>\n
