DC Universe What are your DCU headcanons?

They can be big ones or little ones, I’m just loving this new universe and all the detail.

An inconsequential headcanon I have is that because Lex found weaknesses for Superman and things to avoid for Ultraman simultaneously, he originally included a cape in Ultraman’s costume, but removed it after developing more and more ways Superman can be fought like pulling his cape

Mine is that Mr. Terrific gave himself genetic modifications, but in a cool scientific way, not just here I'm a super soldier. For example, he upped his muscle density so that he could have peak strength without having to work out as much or worry about getting too swole. He also increased his bone density so he's harder to break, and lastly, he gave himself a “healthy” case of Scleroderma, which is a disease that causes people's skin to harden due to over production of collagen. 👍🏾

I think the message is fake and or heavily out of context (despite what Gunn is saying, I think he’s lying)

But we won’t find out until years from now. Lex thinks it’s real but in reality Brainiac manipulated it AND also hacked himself into the Engineer

Mr. T thinks it’s legit because in a way it is. But I feel like some context is missing.

I think the “rule without mercy” was added

The cope surrounding the message from Clark’s parents is almost Snyder level at this point. Gunn’s doing something different with the canon guys, the world’s not gonna end if Superman’s parents are different 😅

I bet when Guy Gardener's alone in the Hall of Justice he builds construct furniture and things to make it seem less empty and big.

I like to think that Jimmy drank a love potion and is not naturally attractive. It's such a silly comic book thing to do.
