At an annual meeting on Friday, the heads over at Warner Bros. (most notably Warner Chairman and Chief Executive Jeff Bewkes) were questioned about the future of Warner Bros. The majority of the meeting discussed the succession of Bewkes, although Warner Bros. plans with their DC Comics Properties were brought up. Here's what the LA Times had to say:

Another shareholder questioned Warner Bros.' strategy with DC Comics, which has lagged behind Walt Disney Co.'s Marvel Entertainment, and criticized the studio for not doing enough to develop female characters from its library. Warner Bros.' Tsujihara acknowledged that DC Comics has not done as well as he would like but added that there is wonderful opportunity there and promised that the shareholder will be "happy and proud" down the road. DC Comics President Diane Nelson chimed in that Warner Bros. is trying to differentiate from Marvel, which will become apparent soon. As for exploiting more female characters from the DC Comics properties, Nelson said a priority is creating properties that will appeal to young girls.

His answer almost reads like a generic "yes, but no" reply. Almost like "I don't have an answer, so I'm gonna agree with you and not really promise or tell you anything."

You mean like releasing your DC movies in May?

The most important part:

Seemingly hinting at the rumoured Wonder Woman movie, he [Tsujihara] added: "We have something we're not ready to announce."

@Omega

A Teen Titans movie would be epic.....Look what YJ cartoon did....you can still have the senior JL members for small parts just like Fury in McU.

Also I would love to see a Young Avengers movie or Runaways series.......loved reading them stories.

I wouldn't mind a Batgirl movie, or even a Zatanna film.

Again, more backing for Nikki's sources to be correct.

Good!
We certainly do need more female characters in these CBM's. More powerful ones too.
It's why I hope Marvel will finally introduce Carol!

@ProfessorRick
Lyndsy Fonseca for both!

@midknightking. I like your style.

I wouldn't mind a Supergirl movie, outside of an obvious Wonder Woman movie.

WB/DC need to focus more on the JL members than on Vertigo properties. Personally i don't really care about Vertigo what i want the most is a JL movie.

Saw "Captain Marvel" on my schedule. Thought it was Ms. Danvers but a little boy walked in my office and started yelling nonsense words.
