BREAKING: Warner Bros. Discovery is reportedly considering a MAJOR overhaul of its DC content ranging from its blockbuster DCEU movies to its streaming & television shows. Details here ⏩
Following the merger that resulted in Warner Bros. Discovery, the new version of the company is looking to shake up its strategy for DC movies and TV shows. For several decades, one of the biggest properties that Warner Bros. has had control over is the DC Universe characters. With major characters like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Joker, Lex Luthor, the Justice League, and thousands of more, DC has for the longest time stood as one of the biggest comic branches globally.
From a financial standpoint, the DC content is one of the most profitable branches for Warner Bros. Whether it be The Dark Knight trilogy, the ever-expanding Arrowverse, or the newer content that is coming to HBO Max, Warner Bros. has always had plenty to pull from for its DC Universe. Still, compared to its most visible competitor, the DCEU has faltered while the MCU has soared. In light of the highly discussed merger between Warner Bros.
After the merger between Warner Bros. and Discovery was completed about a week ago, it looks like the DC content is about to have a massive shift. In a new report from Variety, David Zaslav, the new owner of Warner Bros. Discovery, is reportedly looking to institute a significant overhaul for the studio's DC film and TV properties. Per Variety's sources, the overhaul could essentially mean the formation of DC getting its own studio for comics, TV, and film, similar to Marvel Studios.
Zaslav's focus is more about unlocking the fuller potential of the DC IPs, as Warner Bros. has faced its challenges in the last few years, specifically for the cinematic side. Based on the report, Superman appears to be one of the big priorities for the new company, as the Man of Steel has been sidelined after Joss Whedon's Justice League in 2017. It also appears that individual independent projects like Joker is something Warner Bros.
Having a"DC Studios" would perhaps be the ultimate step in the right direction as Warner Bros. Discovery take their DC properties into the next era. For years it has been noted that a creative strategy seems to be heavily missing, despite films like Aquaman and The Batman having big success. With specifics still being kept under wrap, for now, it wouldn't be shocking to see Zaslav lean more into the Multiverse angle, even more so than previously.
