I guess it should be interesting to see what comes of this...

The rumors of Gotham Knights sounds like they're a synergistic start. Video Game, tv series, movie.

DC films and TV resets every couple of years due to their overwhelming failures. Guarantee you the next guy in charge after this is gonna bring back Geoff Johns and Zack Snyder. It's how DC works. Failures only fall upwards at that company.

They are gonna have tense meetings with the shareholders. Promising to fix the huge, glaring problems that are self-evident. And Margot Robbie will then get another three-picture movie deal starting with her producing the R-Rated Harley Quinn, Stripper Princess Of Gemworld. That's how DC operates.

Prove me wrong, DC. I'd actually like that. But I don't expect it.

"Overhaul." eh? Good luck with your firings, Zaslav.

I hope the future looks bright for DC's projects with this planned overhaul. Superman should be the crown jewel of superheroes so I'm glad he was mentioned as a property languishing at the moment (film wise). Also, I'd love to see more superhero movies like Logan, Joker and The Batman that feel like strong alternatives to the usual MCU model of filmmaking.

Hopefully, the comics receive more of a push with other media too. I went to see Sonic the Hedgehog 2 last week and got a free Sonic comic from IDW. That's what DC and Marvel should be doing in my opinion to tap into the fanbase who only check out the multimedia offerings. Likewise, the DC games went quiet after Injustice 2 and we're only getting a big new game this year with Gotham Knights.

Fingers crossed this leads to a better vision for DC as a brand moving forward.

Honestly, they simply need to concentrate on films. Don't try to do a connected universe. Stand-alones are fine. Elseworlds are fine. Don't try to copy Feige.

They want a Kevin Feige type leader running DC Entertainment meaning they want a Shared universe to continue.

They copy each other. I'd love for this counterpunching programming to be done & over with.
Didn't read anything in that article to indicate such a strategy, just more of what DC was already doing.

Some more news...

Toby Emmerich, who has been running Warners and New Line since 2017, will exit that role but is expected to get a production deal.

Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav’s strategy as he shapes the company is to create three verticals, each with its own leadership: Warner Bros.-New Line under Michael DeLuca and Pam Abdy, DC and Animation. DC Films president Walter Hamada will report to DeLuca and Abdy until new leadership is identified and the head of the animation vertical is yet to be named.
