Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav is making moves and looking to secure his legacy at the newly minted company. Among the potential changes are whispers of a massive "overhaul" coming to DC Entertainment.
Zaslav is rumored to be holding meetings with potential people of interest and seasoned executives to fill a role that would work to increase DC Entertainment's profile (and profits) under the new Discovery banner. This would encompass all media including film, television, comics, and video games in an attempt to bring the label into a "better alignment".
The new role that Zaslav is looking to fill would serve as a figurehead and leading voice for all DC content, similar to the work that Kevin Feige has been doing with Marvel Studios for some years now. They also want to "revitalize" characters like Superman, and want "more movies like Joker."
Fans will undoubtedly rejoice at the notion of a clear creative vision being implemented and executed within the currently chaotic DCEU. With no clear timeline or continuity (at least until The Flash releases), it seems like WB/DC has just been spinning their wheels with no clear goal in sight.
While no names for potential candidates have yet been leaked, one certainly hopes that they can find someone up to the task of helping the epic library of DC characters reach their full potential both on the page and the screen.
