-The wait is finally over and I know what you're thinking..."him?" but WB has named James Gunn and Peter Safran as heads of their new DC Studios that will take the place of DC films.
-They will be splitting job duties with Gunn doing the creative side of things and Safran running the business and production side of DC tv/films/animation.
-Per Zaslav “Their decades of experience in filmmaking, close ties to the creative community, and proven track record thrilling superhero fans around the globe make them uniquely qualified to develop a long-term strategy across film, TV, and animation, and take this iconic franchise to the next level of creative storytelling.”
-Per Gunfran (or should it be Safrunn?) "We look forward to collaborating with the most talented writers, directors, and actors in the world to create an integrated, multilayered universe that still allows for the individual expression of the artists involved. Our commitment to Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Harley Quinn, and the rest of the DC stable of characters is only equaled by our commitment to the wonder of human possibility these characters represent. We’re excited to invigorate the theatrical experience around the world as we tell some of the biggest, most beautiful, and grandest stories ever told.”
