The DC Extended Universe (DCEU ; early known as the DC Cinematic Universe ) is a major media franchise and shared fictional universe that is the setting of many superhero films independently produced by DC Films, based on characters that appear in publications by DC Comics. The shared universe of the films, much like the DC Universe in comic books, was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters.
The first film to be released in the DC Extended Universe was Man of Steel 2013 ), followed by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice 2016 ), Suicide Squad 2016 ), Wonder Woman 2017 ) and Justice League 2017 ). Numerous upcoming films are slated for release in the following years.
The films within the DC Extended Universe have received both critical and commercial success, and the franchise as a whole currently ranks as the highest-grossing film franchise of all time. Outside of feature films, the franchise has expanded into comic books, games, novels and others.
