DC Studios Faces a Leadership Transition and Franchise Strategy Test

Jeremy Latcham is slated to take over DC’s film, TV and animation slate on December 1, while James Gunn and Peter Safran return to filmmaking and producing. New reports describe Gunn’s Superman, Justice League and Batman ambitions and executives’ reported box-office expectations for Superman, but they do not confirm the new direction. A Justice League pivot remains speculation, and the effects on the slate and Man of Tomorrow are unknown.
