Swamp Thing can be the DC Universe's first true horror movie and set the precedent for unique superhero films and shows with well-defined genres.
Swamp Thing, the only horror movie in James Gunn and Peter Safran's slate for the DC Universe's first chapter, will prove how ambitious the franchise will be. "Gods and Monsters," the first chapter in the new era of DC movies, will introduce a new version of Batman and Superman, alongside never-seen-before movie and TV adaptations of lesser known characters and groups such as The Authority and The Creature Commandos.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Attempts at making Swamp Thing a horror movie icon date back to 1982, when Freddy Krueger creator Wes Craven first translated the DC monster to the big screen. Despite spawning a sequel in 1989, Swamp Thing failed to match the commercial success or cult following of similar contemporary films like Friday the 13th and A Nightmare On Elm Street.
Swamp Thing Will Need To Prove How Different DC Universe Movies Will Be As a horror movie based on a comic book, Swamp Thing could help the DC Universe stand out from an ocean of superhero movies that don't dare to explore other genres. Swamp Thing would set the precedent that every movie and show in the DC Universe takes enough freedom to experiment with different tones and get the most out of every source of inspiration, be it horror, comedy, sci-fi, or classic comic book extravaganza.
