James Gunn, the film director and co-CEO of DC Studios, announced on Feb. 1 on Twitter his plans for the new rebooted “DCU” (DC Universe).\n<\/p>\n

And a Singaporean superhero may just be a part of this new universe.\n<\/p>\n

First chapter<\/h2>\n

A total of 10 movies and series are in the works for the first chapter of the DCU, which Gunn calls “Chapter 1, Gods and Monsters.”\n<\/p>\n

One of the movies announced is titled “The Authority” and features a group of superheroes who “think that the world is broken and they want to fix it by any means necessary” said Gunn.\n<\/p>\n

The movie will be based on a comic series also called The Authority, created by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch in 1999.\n<\/p>\n

It could potentially feature a Singaporean superhero, if the movie follows the comic.\n<\/p>\n

Background<\/h2>\n

According to IGN Sea<\/em><\/a>, the leader of the team is a superhero called Jenny Sparks. As the “Spirit of the 20th century”, she embodied the core concept of that century, and so she could generate and turn into electricity.\n<\/p>\n

Sparks is joined by her teammates, Jack Hawksmoor, who draws his powers from the different cities he is in; Swift, a woman with wings and talons; Apollo and Midnighter, a couple similar to Superman and Batman; a scientist known as The Engineer who replaced her blood with nanotechnology; and The Doctor, a shaman who possessed the powers of hundreds of shamans who came before him.\n<\/p>\n

According to Image Comics<\/em><\/a>, Jenny Sparks knew she would die on Dec. 31, 1999 at midnight as the 20th century ended.\n<\/p>\n

At the moment of her death, a new entity known as Jenny Quantum<\/a> was born, the first baby born in the 21st century.\n<\/p>\n

Jenny Quantum become Jenny Sparks’ successor and go on to become the “spirit of the 21st century”, with powers based on quantum dynamics.\n<\/p>\n

While the character of Jenny Quantum was born in Singapore, it is still unsure if Gunn intends to cast her as one.\n<\/p>\n
