James Gunn and Peter Safran have revealed that Paradise Lost will be released in the first part of the new DC slate of content, which is being referred to as, Chapter 1 Gods and Monsters.
Deadline has posted the initial plans from DC Studios’ co-CEOs, and, at the same time, Gunn himself posted a 6-minute video on his Twitter account in which he revealed the line-up for his DC Universe.

It’s going to be a Games of Thrones-ish story about Themyscira, the home of the Amazons and the birthplace of Wonder Woman. This drama is really about the political intrigue behind the society of all women. How did that come about?
Gunn added to the feel of the upcoming series, saying:
What’s the beautiful truths and the ugly truths behind all of that and what’s the scheming like between all the power players in that society?
