Overview
- DC Studios has filed a “Salvation Run” trademark covering a film title and wide-ranging merchandise, according to newly reported records.
- The filing does not confirm a project is greenlit, and industry coverage frames potential crossover plans as speculative at this stage.
- James Gunn says the DCU will use the Salvation premise as a concept rather than directly adapting the 2007 comic storyline.
- Peacemaker season 2 introduced the Salvation setting as part of the new DCU narrative framework, with threads expected to connect to Man of Tomorrow, dated July 9, 2027.
- The idea traces back to a darker pitch by George R. R. Martin and John Jos that influenced the 2007 Salvation Run miniseries by Bill Willingham and collaborators.
