Sooo...not good? I'm not a business guy but this is sounding not good.

That does not say book division is going away.The Warner Bros. Motion Pictures Group continues to be led by Chairman Toby Emmerich. Warner Bros. Television Studios group continues to be led by Chairman Peter Roth. Warner Bros. Interactive remains part of the Studios and Networks group, along with our Global Brands and Franchises team including DC led by Pam Lifford, and our Kids, Young Adults and Classics business led by Tom Ascheim, all focused on engaging fans with our brands and franchises through games and other interactive experiences.
And how many staffers under contract do they have? It can't be that huge compared to other divisions.

Water is wet, idiots gonna be idiots and look for scapegoats who suit their agenda. The decline of DC comics is caused by an overabundance of edge and other factors. Originally Posted by skyvolt2000

This is a lot worse than it seems apparently: https://twitter.com/asher_elbein/sta...54315770994697
Bob Harras is apparently gone; so are editors Mark Doyle, Brian Cunningham and Andy Khouri
Jim Lee is still at the company, but no longer publisher.
DC Collectibles is no more.

Marvel should snap up Harras and Bobbie Chase if they are available. Marvel needs good editors right now. Originally Posted by DragonPiece

Batman's world isn't realistic. It's grounded in psychological realism… In real life, Batman's crusade would be a horrible idea.[…] But in the world Batman inhabits, it not only makes sense, it's absolutely the right thing to do.
