Discovery recently closed its $43 billion deal for WarnerMedia, creating the newly labeled Warner Bros. Discovery.
David Zaslav, CEO of the new entity, has, according to Variety, set his sights on making the most of the DC Entertainment side of the business.
Discovery insiders believe that although DC has achieved cinematic success with recent films such as “Aquaman” and “The Batman,” it lacks a coherent creative and brand strategy. Discovery believes that several top-shelf characters such as Superman have been left to languish and need to be revitalized.
Hopefully this means that Warner Bros. will now put a spotlight back on the Man of Steel moving forward.
It’s bizarre that DC can’t figure out a way to bring a hopeful, optimistic version of Superman to the screen. Stop trying to reinvent him and just give us a good Superman story. And pick a villain other than Luthor.
