Yes, it is. The DC universe's power structure is about to change. David Zaslav of Warner Bros. Discovery will be doing the changing. He said that the future of DC Films was more focused and singular than it had been before. He said there wouldn't be four Batmans.
Speaking at the Capital Markets' Technology, Internet, Media and Telecommunications Conference, the company head talked about what he felt DC needs to do to be more successful, and it is, in fact. The strategy that Bob Iger put together was all about the comic book characters. It is not possible to wake up and find out that there is a Batman TV show or a Batman cartoon somewhere else. All of it needs to be looked at and felt for. I wondered how to put all of DC in one place. It is one of the largest opportunities at the company.
It turns out that the answer is to hire the new heads of DC Films, James and Peter, who have been tasked with creating a new, focused future for the brand. James and Peter are going to drive the hell out of DC. I think they will thrill you over the course of time. Focus on our strategic advantage, the great content we have that everyone in the world knows, and tell those stories.
The CEO mentioned that Superman is a focus and that they haven't done a Superman movie in 13 years. Whatever that means, I'll take it. Maybe it has to do with the fact that Batman was going to make an appearance in the sequel. Does that mean that the Batmans will be in live-action? Is it possible that the actor in The Batman is Robert Pattinson, the actor in The Lost Kingdom is Ben Affleck, and the actor in TheFlash is Michael Keaton? We don't have a clue.
It wasn't mentioned at the event, but the other thing Zaslav's quote brings to mind is the multiverse storyline of TheFlash It was rumored that the film was made to give DC a starting point for its stories. Is it possible to keep everything focused and change that movie? Is the CEO giving TheFlash a mental Batgirl, and dismissing it as a one-off? There are a lot of questions to be answered in the next few months, and we think we know what the final two projects are going to be. DC is getting back into theaters with a movie. The speed of light and the fury of the gods.
