TL;DR>WB Discovery is losing money and will need another merger to cover its debts.>Most likely candidate is NBC-Universal, but that can’t happen until 2024.>Another merger will require another company restructuring, so whatever 10-year-plan David Zaslav comes up with will be scrapped.>Zaslav is struggling to create a plan that fits all currently popular DC film/television products since they all have different tones and continuities.>Zaslav has halted production on all upcoming DC films aside from Joker 2, and all current DC shows aside from Peacemaker are all in danger of cancellation.>No one wants to be the DC films boss under Zaslav’s current conditions, and he has abandoned active search since they aren’t producing anything new at the moment.>Zaslav is selling distribution rights to numerous WB properties, including DC characters, to different film studios and streaming services.>Not only that, he is considering selling the production rights as well, which would allow different studios like Sony to make DC superhero films, similar to the pre-MCU Marvel films of the late 90s/early 2000s.hollywoodreporter.com

>>133081242What a crisis
>>133081314oh ho ho you cheeky breeky boy you
>>133081242Here’s an idea, green light a movie with racially faithful casting, Batman/Superman in trunks, and the tone set by the DCAU from 1992-2004 and profit.
>>133081562You really think race is the main problem?
>>133081704Explain how changing facets of characters doesn’t change them.
>>133081314kekfpbp
>>133081562Another Superman/Batman would be absurdly expensive. What they need is cheap shows that can get them a profit. Ironically shit like Doom Patrol that they cancelled, and Peacemaker, would be the safer bets. Maybe some anime too since they can get a season of anime with the budget of 25% of a Sandman episode.
>>133081242They're only hope is to bring Snyder back and restore the Snyderverse
this person used some annoying millennial-ass phrasing, but here's how The Paramount Accords of 1948 come into play with this shit:twitter.com
>>133081822>a millennial used annoying phrasingwater is wet. (all jokes aside, I'll read this thread later)
>>133081818I doubt WB has the money or the executive ability to produce a 3-hour long cape movie.
>>133081314Oh, you.
>>133081242If only WB could attempt to reboot their problems away like DC comics does annually.
>Capitalism rewards innovation>btw here are the three media companies that own everything you read and watch.
>>133081779Banking on doom patrol is such an awful, awful idea.
>>133081727Skin color on white characters rarely defines them or their backstory.
> Hehehe. What a mess.
>>133081900Capitalism and communism are the two dirt roads leading up to same mountaintop called Centralization.
>>133081704>>133082149I don’t care what you think. I stated the easiest way to appeal to actual fans.
>>133081779I didn’t say make a Superman & Batman I said make a movie with either and make sure they’re in their iconic costume.
>>133081242And you niggas told me this guy is a Chad? Bitch is already failing at his own plans
Why did WB merge in the first place?
>>133082149NTA but in the case of Batman and Superman it does.Batman only works because the Waynes are the kind of "you can't get rid of this wealth even if you burn it" Old Money. Which is still white.Superman only works as white because let's be real, a black guy with the powers of Superman isn't going to be as trusted by the general populace. Black Superman makes Lex Luthor apologists.
All this just to save the Flash.
>>133082255There are about 300,000 "actual fans" of comics, tops, and much more movie watchers.
>>133082134Yeah. It probably wasnt for everyone. But they should focus on shows around that budget.>>133082272Either would be an investment of years and hundreds of millions of dollars. They should try to focus on streaming production going below 10 million a season and movies far below the 100 million.
The solution
>>133082352
>>133082283>Superman only works as white becauseHe can absorb sun rays due to being white you dumb nigger.
>>133082352Only 2 specific demographics would watch that.
>>133081900>>133082232>Copyright bs monopoly>CapitalismThe absolute state of statists
The needed solution
>>133081562that sounds awful lmfao. I'm glad you're not in charge.
>>133082283Meet Superhombre.
>>133082149Skin colour is still apart of their look. Which is important in a VISUAL medium.
>>133082209Heard a rumor that the Cobra Kai show runners want to do a Duke adaptation
>>133082414>he doesn't know that capitalism is premised on the creation and maintenance of property rights via state force
>>133082472>he thinks "intellectual property" is real property
>>133082472Also>he thinks Capitalism needs muh state like his shitty welfare
>>133082283>Batman only works because the Waynes are the kind of "you can't get rid of this wealth even if you burn it" Old Money.Pretty racist of you to assert that one of his parents couldn't have been black, asian, latinx, etc. Hell, Bruce could just as well be adopted. >Superman only works as white because let's be real, a black guy with the powers of Superman isn't going to be as trusted by the general populace.Again, pretty racist thing to say.Have you considered not being racist, user?
>>133081822>>133081838TLDR is SCOTUS got rid of antitrust laws and Hollywood is now cannibalizing itself to desperately stay relevant. It's all said at a leftist angle though so it blames SCOTUS and not the companies. This is a massive win and could be the end of Hollywood.
>>133082455>Skin colour is still apart of their look.So you can radically change the costume design over the years without it ever being a problem but skin tone is a no-no because it hecking is, okay!!?
>>133082615People complain about costume designs all the time. Heck, they still complain about DC getting rid of the yellow bat emblem.
>>133082536In the eyes of the law it is
>>133082680>but muh precious state said so!Yes you're the kind who would justify the Nazis excuse of just following orders.
>>133082352>all black heroes and also Black Manta
>>133082352Full reboot but everyone is black except Cyborg.Fuck it, could work.
>>133082615>reddit spacingOf course!>people can't wear different clothes>skin and clothes are the sameImagine being this retarded
>>133082647But people still generally accept costume changes as being okay despite stupid whining.
>>133082726That's a touch extreme. Recognizing that copyright/IP exists is greatly different than being a Nazi sympathizer/follower/whatever. Plus all the laws surrounding IP were written by corporations in favor of corporations. They don't exist to benefit the state in any meaningful way other than charging filing fees.
>>133082647The yellow emblem only existed because DC couldn't trademark a regular bat logo.
>>133082414Public sector and private sector are illusory divisions. America and China shove how both corporations and governments will happily marry to crush the rest of the population together.And in much of the world, private corporations ARE the state.
>>133081900It should be one company.
>>133082766>Recognizing that copyright/IP exists is greatly different than being a Nazi sympathizer/follower/whateveNope, both are immoral bs created by the state. >They don't exist to benefit the state>what is lobbying?>what is censorship?Statist being a moron as per usual.
>yfw you don't care what happens because the only HBOMax show you cared about was already on its deathbed (Browngardt's Looney Tunes)
>>133082802You're just arguing in favor of Anarcho-Capitalism which is good.
>>133081900Youtube, facebook and instagram dont own the content they display to me
>>133082882They own the algorithm and code behind them and remove stuff that violate IP globohomo laws.Also>>133082414
>>133082841So I'm assuming you are an anarchist of some sort who feels governments/laws shouldn't exist at all?
>>133083056I suport both Minarchism and Anracho-Capitlism. Both options are good.
>>133081818I would rather they just stop making movies instead instead of more snyderverse
>>133081242>Zaslav is struggling to create a plan that fits all currently popular DC film/television products since they all have different tones and continuities.But that's not his job. That's the kind of shit a joint producer and comics editor team would do. What the fuck?
Warner was already losing money before the merger. Canceling bad projects left behind from before the merger makes sense.
>>133081562Your idea won't only not sell, it will bomb. Audiences won't go near a vanilla cape movie.
>>133082609>This is a massive win and could be the end of Hollywood.And the end of American industry in general. You realize Hollywood isn't the only corporate industry in burgerland right? Every corporation is going to thoroughly fuck the consumer.
>>133081562ESG is just social credit for billionaires
>>133083128He does get to dictate the general direction he wants content to pursue. Especially when nobody else is doing that now that Hamada is leaving.
>>133083196She clearly just wants to own woke media corporations.
>>133083260>I'll shoot myself in the foot. That way big shoecorp can't sell me anymore shoes!People like this need to be mass ejected from the planet without an oxygen tank.
>>133083128he's a micromanager
>>133082609This particular thread isn't leftist. That whole twitter essay was fucking depressing. Fuck the supreme court
>>133083160>he said as Top Gun 2 made over a billion dollars
>>133081242Shueisha should buy their comics and animation rights.
>>133081242Ready the bib, Disney.
>>133082232Yeah, constant starvation and failing economies are a staple of capitalist countries.
>>133083097So a fascist then, you'll give all the power to individual corporations to mcfuck your ass
>>133082255How many shows/movies would have actually been good if they stuck with the established race? And not still be steaming piles of shit due to bad acting, directing, plot, etc. There aren't enough mystery fans who would have avoided the swap piece purely out of hate for swaps.
>>133082283Public at large wouldn't trust anyone with that much power post 1980 regardless of race.Get that realistic, you get synder shit.
>>133083492>you'll give all the power to individual corporations to mcfuck your ass>>133082766>Plus all the laws surrounding IP were written by corporations in favor of corporations>I like being raped by both the state and corps at the same time!>Capitalism is facism Kys statist retardCorps have no power without the state backing them.
>>133083350I'm not seeing the connection between a movie that had an impact on a generation that appeals to military shit with a 30 gulf in between and capeshit that is overplayed year after year.
>>133081562>DCAUStop obsessing over dead cartoons faggot
MCU-chads cant stop winning
>>133082449Is that supposed to be a gotcha? Hernan proves my point. Even before you account for the fact that he's descended from Zod rather than El.
>>133081822>SCOTUS IS LE BAD>CORPS CAN NOW MAKE VERTICAL INTEGRATION A THING THAT'S WHY WB IS DYINGOk retard.
>>133081242>which would allow different studios like Sony to make DC superhero filmswtf so does that leak about spidey and superman movie were real?
>>133083769Probably not, but it could be hypothetically made in the distant future
>>133082615>So you can radically change the costume design over the years without it ever being a problem People always have problems with costume changes. If the MCU made Spider-Man’s costume pink you think people wouldn’t cause a shitstorm?
>>133082864there is no difference between anacho-capitalism and totalitarian communism. one group comes to own everything and then they give themselves the name that they want. that name is the sole difference
>>133083841>there is no difference between anacho-capitalism and totalitarian communismContinue being a statist retardSee >>133083588
>>133083839Stupid people having stupid complaints has always been a thing but never has that been seen as a valid reason to spend months whining about how the fabric texture on Superman’s costume is wrong and that’s is why the entire movie is garbage because BAAAAWWWW THEY CHANGED THE VISUAL LOOK.
>>133083636They may be dead, but they were the best adaptations we have.
>>133083350Anon, not only does Top Gun as a franchise offer more than being a simple vanilla movie, but Top Gun 2 is the only sequel of a beloved and well memed movie from 35 FUCKING YEARS AGO. Please refrain from being so retarded before you post. Holy shit.
>>133083996>I'm a genius.>...Oh no!"Whores" is gonna include you in a few years.
>>133084038How exactly
>>133084017I'd argue that a WELL MADE Superman movie with no added bullshit could make a lot of money.
>>133081314>What a crisis
>>133084047>no antitrust legislationBigcorp is now allowed to mutate into Turbocorp hopped up on AIDS before it ram its STD riddled cock up your consumer ass. As bad as it is now it will not become even worse.>no bodily autonomyHave fun being under a militarist state with curfews and a chip in your brain.>no clean environmentIf you don't already have the seeds of lung and skin cancer festering inside you, it will now blossom even faster. You can't keep taking a massive shit in your own home every day and not expect dire consequences. Not to mention the smell of shit.>no military weapons regulationI'm all for the practice of gun rights, but in an unregulated environment only the richest will win. You and your private collection of guns can't compete with corporate tanks. You got an RPG or two? Cool. Turbocorp has a thousand.>policies that fit for the current situations instead of situations from 100 years agoNot sure how you can make an argument against this, but I implore you to try.
I knew this retard wouldn't even last 5 years
>>133084072You're wrong.DCEU (and by extension Superman) is just an MCU knock-off.
>>133084220Did they make a good Superman movie with no added bullshit?
>>133084183-Big Business can't pull a 1949 Paramount since we have the internet now; either you give easy access to the public, or people will pirate the fuck out of your product.-That lefty meant "Bodily Autonomy" to abortion "Rights" for bitches and whores all across America.

>>133082609>blames the court and not the companiesWell yeah, if the court's action is what caused a problem we already had rules in place to prevent because we knew it would happen. Businesses will always do whatever they're allowed to do to maximize profit. Corporations are required to behave this way.

This movie comes out next month and despite the sixth month marketing campaign no one is talking about it.
>>133084485oh sure Superman, the one character who keeps getting TV shows that last several seasons.It's like the added bullshit combined with the bad scripts results in bad movies.
>>133084533But muh melanin!
>>133083101this
>>133084548they shouldn't have spent so much money on it, it's going to turn less of a profit (if not outright lose money) than Shazam
>>133084554How many TV shows has he had since the MCU took off?How long has the longest of those lasted, and what's the rating compared to other superhero shows?
>>133084554>oh sure Superman, the one character who keeps getting TV shows that last several seasons.He's a TV character, not a movie character. He doesn't work well in movies. They already did the only 2 Superman stories that work in movies (God vs. Man and God vs. Other God(s)) in Superman I and II, and every, EVERY Superman movie since then has repeated them in some way.

>Capeshit may die in your lifetime
>>133085663Warner is cursed.
>>133085382Not really, Superman is sci-fi. So science is certainly relevant here.
>>133081242>Not only that, he is considering selling the production rights as well, which would allow different studios like Sony to make DC superhero films, similar to the pre-MCU Marvel films of the late 90s/early 2000sThis is by far the most worrying. But if he's looking to sell everything in 2024 why would he sell off the rights to some of the most valuable ip's before that which would lower the value of the company as a whole?
>>133083196Yep! It's great isn't it?

>>133081242>>Zaslav is selling distribution rights to numerous WB properties, including DC characters, to different film studios and streaming services.That's probably the only way we're ever going to get a good live action Superman movie in our lifetimes. Because there is no way that Warner Brothers can do it.
>>133081242It's pure chaos, but I think something good will come from this. Honestly WB discovery deserves this shit for what it has been pulling. I hope they unsplit. But the Laws removed with limits on merging is making a lot of companies collapse over merging too much. WB Discovery is the first major case of this.>>133082274It looked good beforehand.
>>133085705>Capeshit may die in your lifetimeYes, please.
>>133085738Not sure if Zaslav understand the post streaming world.
>>133083384Disney cannot buy them. They can buy parts, but legally, they cannot have the full market share of a bunch of shit. They cannot have DC comics for example, Marvel and DC comics tried to merge years ago and legally they couldn't.
>>133085738Because Zaslav seems to be about short term profit instead of long term planning
>>133081242>>Not only that, he is considering selling the production rights as well, which would allow different studios like Sony to make DC superhero films, similar to the pre-MCU Marvel films of the late 90s/early 2000s.DISNEY'S BATMAN
>>133081818His shit films are one of the reasons why DC is in this mess to begin with.
>>133081314What is Morrison's involvement in this?
>>133084371They only did that because they saw that the MCU had a lighter tone and decided to do the opposite to gain attention. Fucking retards.
>>133086200He is a cable guy.
>>133086358Why do anti-snyder fags keep perpetuating this lie?The solution was never to copy MCU. We needed something new and serious, and Snyder gave us that. But then of course you faggots who just want one-liners and memes abandoned DC.
>>133081242Just let me have that fucking Superman cartoon, I've wanted a slice of life daily planet cartoon for years. Gimme the 2 seasons that's supposed to have and then I'll happily tap out of anything wb if I gotta
>>133086435>We needed something new and seriousLOL. We wanted them to be faithful. Instead we got grimdark bullshit which just pissed everyone off. DC isn't all grimdark you utter faggot.
Serves the fucker right. Go back to your reality show garbage and let someone with a brain run things.
>>133086444I got you senpai.
>>133084762>Scientists>ForbesAlso this is retarded because melanin prevents the cells from getting sunlight, that’s why black people don’t get skin cancer, so no, Superman actually works better as white than as black
>>133085731Both you and that retarded scientist have the science wrong btw. Melanin blocks sunlight from reaching the cells. Superman’s powers require sunlight to reach his cells. So both of you are retarded.
>>133086556Blacks are protected against UV-light because their skin absorbs it, i.e. it doesn't pass through to the living layers of the skin conditioning cancer mutations to the same degree as it does for white people.But it makes no sense even discussing that, because people don't metabolize sunlight like Superman does.If you look at solar panels you specifically have black sheets to absorb the light.In other words, if Superman is absorbing light through his skin it makes no sense that he'd be white.
>>133086396Everything and nothing.
>>133086663He's a fucking alien!
>>133086663>because people don't metabolize sunlight like Superman doesSo what you saying this all argument is pointless?!>comparing inanimate object to fucking organism>ignores the point that melanin prevents cells from getting sunlight meaning black superman won't be able to get enough of his power' sourceDumb nigger is dumb nigger
>>133086711Yes. And why would science not apply to a sci-fi concept like aliens? Is Superman not made of koinomatter, does he not have cells?Superman doesn't make sense. But he makes more sense as a black man.
>>133082449If people didn't like Cavill Supes killing Zod, nobody is going to like SuperHombre cooking the cartel alive with his heat vision.
>>133086745>So what you saying this all argument is pointless?!No. Because light absorption is based off physics, not biology. So the "alien biology" excuse doesn't work.>Dumb nigger is dumb niggerYou don't understand what you're talking about.Melanin helps with the absorption of sunlight, but this argument has nothing to do with melanin.In fact Superman shouldn't have melanin, but he should have some other black-colored skin pigment to help him metabolize light.It makes no sense for his skin to be white given where his powers come from.
>>133086396The DC Omniverse is changing.
>>133086830Not that user but I thought the whole kryptonians being super-powered under a yellow sun thing was like a freak biological coincidence and not how they normally operate in their own ecosystem. If that's the case why would they have evolved with that in mind in the first place?
>>133086830>some other black-colored skin pigment to help him metabolize lightSo what you saying he can't be black, ok dumb nigger.
>>133082255Aquaman made how much money again?
>>133086793Not sure, he is too different from the normal vision.
>>133084616War happens.
>>133081242>he is considering selling the production rights as well, which would allow different studios like Sony to make DC superhero films, similar to the pre-MCU Marvel films of the late 90s/early 2000s.Ok, if this is true, then he's burning DC's future to the ground.
>>133087016If you have black colored skin pigments then you'd look black.Melanin is just one type of black skin pigments.So it would make sense for Superman to have black skin, it's just that his skin would be colored by a different pigment than melanin.
>>133087062>Ok, if this is true, then he's burning DC's future to the ground.But DC has no future. Its biggest characters are a decade away from the public domain, and people aren't as interested in them anymore.
>>133083160>Audiences won't go near a vanilla cape
>>133086774I know you're trolling, but based on how he know how Superman's sunlight absorption works, he should be green like plants are.
My prediction, if WB breaks upDisney buys the Looney Tunes.Universal or Amazon gets DC.Netflix buys Scooby Doo.Paramount, Netflix, and Sony gobble up the rest.
>>133087005To take advantage of the type of light that would give them physiological benefits. Even if it doesn't allow them to fly and shoot lasers out of their eyes, the benefits of metabolizing a small amount of this light would give them enough of an advantage to overcome sickness and thrive.
>>133087125>MelaninIs the only type for humans, dumb nigger.
>>133087194No. Because plants have developed a pigment (chlorophyll) to metabolize the largest volume of light without absorbing enough so the heat would be detrimental.But for animals, overheating due to black skin pigments is not an issue.
>>133085795government will allow whatever disney tells it to, and they will be happy
>>133082149Then why change them, if it doesn't matter, then why bother changing it at all?
>>133082601>LainxFuck you, you racist colonizing cunt! Fuck off with your KKK bullshit.
>>133082802I think you might be retarded.
>>133087196If Disney buys Looney Tunes, will they run them into the ground like Star Wars or sit on them and do nothing like the Muppets?
>>133081314Boy, talk about company-wide reboots.
>>133087983>If Disney buys Looney TunesThey wouldn't be able to acquire it due to anti-monopoly laws.But even if they could, they wouldn't. Because there's no money in it.
>>133082274AT&T: WB overall had paid for a lot of mistakes made the years before the buyout, including the disaster that was BvS, Fantastic Beasts and other IPs doing absolutely bad.Discovery: Turns out AT&T also didn't know how to do WB justice + they gave WB with the condition they could give away quite a number of their debt owned + WB's original debt.See, the problem really relies on the fact that Discovery DOES have the money to pay that debt, but instead of trying that, they planned to do a number of taxes off and cancelations thinking this would give them a hand.And it blew up in their faces, from obvious results that happened.
>>133088135No. They'd have people crunching the numbers to make sure what they could and couldn't get.Discovery bought Warner to renovate it and sell it. That's why Zaslav went quiet.
Fuck you user Supes wasn't created black
>>133081242>he is considering selling the production rights as well, which would allow different studios like Sony to make DC superhero films, similar to the pre-MCU Marvel films of the late 90s/early 2000s
>>133082352Only 6 of these existed before 2010
>>133085346>They're gay little pantiesIf you think this, you're probably gay.
>>133081314Heh
>>133082864Anarcho Capitalists are all borderline retarded.
>>133085738He wouldn't be selling the IP. Just the production rights.
>>133081242The problem I have with the theory that he's selling the production rights and also trying to get WB bought out is this: If the production rights were spread all around it'd be harder for the new owner of WB to control.Like let's say that one fake rumor about Sony doing a Spider-Man/Superman crossover was true, what exactly happens in that scenario? Does Sony get to make Superman movies from that point forward? Do WB have better contracts than the ones Marvel had or not?
>>133087026This. Aquaman is the whitest blonde guy in the world, and he got turned into a dopey Mutt comedy relief and it was the only massively successful DCEU film. Joker was memed to a billion but it cannot be successfully followed up by a sequel.Race swaps don't kill movies.
>>133089686There's not going to be a lot of return on rights to a character for only a couple of movies, when WB themselves have been damaging those franchises. Sure, they'd get paid for the Batman rights, even for a limited set of films, but that's about it. Most of the rest of the DC characters, studios would be better off talking to Image or even Valiant.
DO THIS!!!Shazam 2 (2023)> Reshoots fix the retarded ending.Aquaman 2 (2023)> Reshoots fix the Adam West/WW84 tone if that leak is accurate. The tone was perfect in 2018. They announce that Amber Heard's footage will remain however they are cutting ties with the actress & will recast Mera before 3.The Flash (2023)> The ending is reshot so when Flash fixes everything it's actually fixed & he returns to the Cavill/Affleck universe. Maybe have him change into a new actor upon his return.HBO Batman TV series with Affleck (2024)> God tier prestigious with a massive near Game of Thrones budget.> Hyper faithful adaption of either Court of Owls or a TAS style sympathetic Mr Freeze.Martian Manhunter (2024)> Set in the 1950s onward.> Dark noir sci-fi mystery with him being a detective & a spy trying to snuff out both White Martians & commies infiltrating the government. Cold War & UFO paranoia is a big theme.> If he is General Swanwick like in the Snyder cut I would show that it was the real human Swanwick in Mos/Bvs.> Have him meet & develop a friendship with Jonn inbetween BVS & JL. Similar to Faraday in New Frontier.> Swanwick sacrifices himself to save Jonn believing him to be the world's only hope with Superman gone.> Jonn takes up his identity out of respect.
>>133089821Man of Steel 2 (2025)> Directed by Brad Bird (iron giant, mission impossible 4) or Joseph Kosinski (top gun 2, tron legacy, oblivion) or Gareth Edwards (godzilla 14, rogue one)> Much more focused on optimism/hope but not camp/humor.> Power Girl if used has the boob window & is played by Alice Eve?Wonder Woman 3 (2025)> Toss the campy bollywood style from 84.> No idea what plot to do. If in the Snyder-Cut-Verse maybe adapt that 4 issue 90s arc with Diana trapped on Apokolips while Darkseid attacks Themyscira. Don't think Jenkins would go for that tho.> Circe if used has a faithfully sexy 80s or New 52 design (pic related) & not the more recent dyke-ified look.
>>133085705Source?
>>133089821>Shazam 2 (2023)Nothing will make it any more successful than the last one, a wash at best.>Aquaman 2 (2023)China box office is kill, people are sour on Amber turd, will not make the returns of the first one (but will still be a success like The Batman)>The Flash (2023)This was always doomed to be a Josstice League tier shitshow. Nothing will change that.>HBO Batman TV series with Affleck (2024)Affleck is old, his looks are going, and he simply doesn't have the acting chops to sell this. It would merely be an over-expensive excuse to have better actors ham it up as villains.>Martian Manhunter (2024)As a show on Max this would be Moon Knight level popular at BEST. As a movie it'd be Morbin' Time.
>>133086152>That's probably the only way we're ever going to get a good live action Superman movie in our lifetimes.Does it matter if Superman is gonna enter the public domain anyway
>>133089894Hancock proved you can just loosely riff on Superman and make the same money as Returns/Man of Steel.
>>133081562race has nothing to do with it compared to the gross incompetence of the people at DC. Peacemaker was a hit - with a white guy in the leadbut compare how can a literal nobody like peace maker be a hit, but they cant seem to make an established hero, Superman, work in ANY way? You could give the rights to Superman to any comic book store owner and they could make a profitable true to story movie so why couldnt DC? Their problem wasnt ever race swapping - it was trying to keep up with the mcu and they cut corners
