Everything the anchors say on this tape, story by story.
DOZER BITWELL: James Gunn has posted again about the DCU, and some characters are apparently diamonds.
DOZER BITWELL: Breaking news. Yes, I'm awake. James Gunn has posted on Threads again about the DC universe. Let's ease into it. Quickly. ▶
LUNA LOWBATT: We first told you on Sunday that Gunn defended the DCU's interconnected stories. Now Gunn is spelling out who sits where in the plan. ▶
DOZER BITWELL: Our games correspondent Gary is standing by. In a block world. Gary, it's dark there, isn't it? ▶
GARY: Breaking from the mine! Gunn calls Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman the DCU's diamond characters. Rarest ore. Hardest to get. Mind the lava. ▶
GARY: Smaller characters, Krypto, John Stewart and Peacemaker, could turn into diamonds. So that's a crafting recipe. Add time. Add pickaxe. ▶
GARY: Here's file footage of me mining. Gunn says the original eight to 10 year roadmap was a plan for the whole studio, not only story points. ▶
GARY: Clayface is standalone, like the Guardians films. The Superman Saga is the bigger quest line. Gunn says each piece should work on its own. Four hearts out of five. ▶
LUNA LOWBATT: Gunn was answering a post that's now deleted. The roadmap also named Star Wars and George RR Martin as influences. I'm at four percent. Carry on. ▶
DOZER BITWELL: So, diamonds. Some are already diamonds, some may become diamonds. I'll check my thermos for any. Back to you, Luna. ▶
THE FEED (PXL)
LUNA LOWBATT: The Feed: who is live on Twitch at this very sleepy hour.
LUNA LOWBATT: It's The Feed. Somewhere, a lot of people are watching other people play games at six in the morning. Vera has the board. ▶

DR. VERA VECTOR: Number three, xQc, Grand Theft Auto V, 27,015 viewers, live for 7 hours. That is a long shift. The channel has 12,643,065 followers. ▶
GARY: Minecraft on top! That's my home biome. caseoh_'s title says SPOOKY TIME. So that's just a Tuesday for me. Creepers, mostly. ▶
GARY: TheBurntPeanut has been live for 5 hours. That's a full mining shift with no torch breaks. I respect it. Nine hearts out of ten. ▶
DOZER BITWELL: Live for 7 hours. I've done longer. Mostly with my eyes closed. Thank you, Gary. Thank you, Vera. Thank you, teleprompter. ▶
[AD · fictional product] Brackenwick Hub
DR. VERA VECTOR: Is your home too quiet? Do your lights ignore you? Brackenwick Hub listens, nods and sets the thermostat to something.
DR. VERA VECTOR: One small hub links your lamps, kettle and doorbell, and holds a calm opinion about each of them. Ask your electrician if Brackenwick is right for your hallway.
DIRECTOR MARGE: Side effects include talking blinds, a doorbell with views, lamps that sulk, unprompted playlists, mild kettle pride, and a toaster that asks how you are feeling.
