Amid recent reports of big shakeups at Warner Bros. following the disappointing box office performance of Justice League, it's just been announced that DC Entertainment President Diana Nelson will be taking a leave of absence due to "a series of personal situations."
Warner Bros. Entertainment CEO Kevin Tsujihara shared the news, while also revealing that Thomas Gewecke, who currently serves as chief digital officer and executive vp of strategy and business development at Warner Bros., will step in to support the DC executive management team of Dan DiDio, Jim Lee, Geoff Johns and Amit Desai, who will continue to run the company’s day to day.
Though Nelson's break will be an extended one, she is expected to return at some point.

Dear Colleagues:
Diane Nelson, President of DC Entertainment and President of Warner Bros. Consumer Products, has decided to take time off starting Monday, April 2. After 22 years with the company, she wants to recharge, as well as have immediate and uninterrupted time with her family. This is her decision and the entire senior management team and I support this, and will help facilitate it as follows:
- The DC Executive Management team will report to Thomas Gewecke (Chief Digital Officer and EVP, Strategy and Business Development) in the interim
- Pam Lifford will report to me in the interim
Diane continues to be an important member of the Warner Bros. family and has worked on many of our most iconic properties. She has contributed greatly to the company’s successes, and we look forward to her returning to the Studio.
In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your management team, Thomas or me if you have any questions.
Thank you for your support and continued commitment to excellence in everything we do.
Best regards, KT
