Mixed in with all of the dirty details behind the making of last week&#8217;s troubled comic book movie, Supergirl, is news that the company has been quietly tinkering away on a new project based on Mr. Terrific.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The character, a crime-fighting genius and technological wizard, made his live-action movie debut in the DCU&#8217;s first theatrical release, Superman, where he was played by StartUp star Edi Gathegi. Although the David Corenswet-starring film was directed by DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn, it&#8217;s unclear how involved he will be in the Mr. Terrific TV show.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Details on the series are light for now, as the project seems to be early days, but it sounds like DC and Warner Bros. have at least one name already attached behind-the-scenes: Allan Heinberg. TV watchers will recognize Heinberg as showrunner and writer for Netflix&#8217;s <u>short-lived<\/u> <u>The Sandman<\/u> series. He also helped as a writer for Wonder Woman, as well as multiple episodes of The O.C. and Grey&#8217;s Anatomy.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Heinberg will bring his experience in the live-action superhero movie genre as DC Studios continues bringing the pieces together. It sounds like Gathegi will return as Mr. Terrific for the show, too, though additional information about its plot, cast, and release date has yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The DCU is still very much going strong despite turbulence picked up by Supergirl in late June. The Milly Alcock-led entry in the cinematic universe only managed to pick up so-so reviews and disappointing box office returns in its opening weekend, leading to projections that could see Warner Bros. losing more than $100 million.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Ranking the DC Live-Action Shows <\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"Let's look back -- over a whopping 70 years -- at every live-action DC TV series we've ever had, going back to 1952's The Adventures of Superman and ranking all the shows through Peacemaker.
