Phase 4

This is the fourth Phase in the DC Extended Universe. It consists of eleven films, three television series, and one mini-series. It started with *Captain Comet* in 2026 and ended with *Justice League IV* in 2029.

## Overview

Continuing the theme of the previous Phases, Phase 4 once again follows mainly sequels of the Justice League characters, with the exception of three films. Two of those three films feature characters that expand the lore of the universe while also not featuring those characters in a future Justice League film: *Captain Comet* and *Doom Patrol*. *Captain Comet* showcases the "original Superman" back in the mid-1950s, while *Doom Patrol* is more so about people who see their powers as a curse rather than a blessing, and weren't necessarily born with them. The third film, *Atom*, however does feature a character that eventually becomes part of the Justice League.

The television series and mini-series, similar to previous Phases, is where the focus is telling stories from other part of the world. Here, it is no different. *Animal Man* is all about a superhero that doesn't follow the traditional formulas and ideas that comes with superheroes. *The Golden Age* is a series that is all about, well, the superhero Golden Age in the 1930s and 1940s featuring the heroes of yesteryear. *Frankenstein and the Creature Commandos* is about a team of supernatural monsters that try to save the world from supernatural threats, and finally, *Traci 13* is about a young woman who discovers her mystical powers and tries to use them for good while also staying out of sight of her overbearing father.
