Good. I’m really tired of the 3 1/2 hour superhero movies. Tell the origin story, have some good fight scenes and action, and wrap it up.

People still talk about Snyder constantly. Aren't you guys bored, seriously I come here for film news yet all you people do is constantly talk about effing Snyder, JL etc. It's done. it's over move on FFS

Snyder talk should be forbidden in the thread imo, I say that as someone who loved his films but it's over move on people.

Sadly,that ain't happening..

Warner Bros. Discovery Has Bigger Problems Than Its DC Search

A lot of potentially depressing stuff on the horizon. As the article says “why the f#%* would anyone want the job?”.

Rumors that Comcast is sniffing around. One day there will seriously only be two companies that own everything. Disney already owns half the world. I guess the other will be Comcast.

Seems appropriate.

Warner Bros. Discovery Has Bigger Problems Than Its DC Search

But the declaration of the DC reset was premature. Zaslav is continuing to meet with prospective candidates to lead the effort, but surprising to no one, he has not found a Kevin Feige clone. A negotiation with producer Dan Lin became public (possibly due to a meeting that was held outdoors in plain sight because of WBD consultant Alan Horn’s COVID-19 concerns) but then apparently fell apart over complications involving Lin’s production/nonprofit company Rideback.

Meanwhile, DC Films president Walter Hamada called his lawyer after watching Batgirl get binned and listening to Zaslav talk about the bright future under superior but unnamed leadership. Film studio co-chairman Michael De Luca talked him into staying until Black Adam is released in October, but his exit is being negotiated.

At this point, it’s hard to think of any strong candidate to run a DC silo. And there are several reasons to wonder why anyone with a decent career would want the job. By now, Zaslav has made enough moves to reveal that — despite that extensive goodwill tour — he is exactly the tough boss that former Discovery insiders described when the Warner Media-Discovery combination first made the news. And with CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels working to slash the staggering $50 billion-plus in debt, the company has content creators wondering publicly what happened to material that disappeared from the streamer without a word of warning, while insiders send out résumés as layoffs roll.

Hamada is apparently negotiating his exit and people think Comcast is going to buy WBD the same way Discovery bought WB. That won’t happen until April 2024 however at the earliest because of issues surrounding the previous buyout/merger. Looks like only three people at WB can count on being safe: Reeves, Phillips, and Muschetti.

Also sounds like Zaslav is about to be targeted by an activist investor. If true his days could be numbered depending on who the activist is and how many shares they own.

WB will merge with another new company every 2 years, got it. lol. Meanwhile the DCEU will be on auto-pilot.

Muschietti seems to be the more likely candidate to direct another JL movie if it'll ever get made.

I wouldn't be surprised if they end and sell the old WB subsidiaries and move all the stuff they own to new one. The upper WBD part is actually new.

Way back when that’s what the rumor was, that he’d be the one doing a “JL Rebirth” movie.

The Flash has Barry teaming up or interacting with various JL characters, and it's testing very well. Muschietti would be a safe choice for JL.

This will happen to the comics as well.

I doubt it personally, comics are small fry. Does look like we might be seeing more TV shows and what not being made with WB IP for other services.
