DC fans no longer have to wonder where the next Mister Miracle adventure fits. In a brief social-media exchange, DC Studios co-chair James Gunn stated outright that the forthcoming cartoon about the universe’s greatest escape artist will occupy the same continuity as the rest of the DCU slate.
Mister Miracle Becomes Official DCU Canon
Gunn revealed the news while celebrating the character’s 55th anniversary. “The world’s greatest escape artist made his debut on this day 55 years ago in 1971!” he wrote on Twitter. “Happy anniversary to Mister Miracle, who debuted in Mister Miracle #1, written by Marv Wolfman and Jack Kirby, with pencils by Jack Kirby and inks by Vince Colletta. Soon be seen in our DCU…”
The single sentence locks the future animated project into the same shared continuity that will house Superman, Batman, and the rest of Gunn’s rebooted franchise.
