Following the events of The Flash, in which Barry Allen reboots most of the DCEU,[1] the character is set to be integrated into the rebooted continuity of the succeeding DC Universe (DCU) media franchise, and will return in both the animated mini-series Creature Commandos, and the live-action series Waller, which she will be the latter show's title main protagonist.
