WARNER BROS CEO Panics The Critics! They Know All WOKE Films & TV Are Dead At His Company!

Critics of the new CEO David Zaslav at Warner Bros Discovery are coming up with every possible argument against making good, fan-service oriented, on brand blockbuster movies based on the DC Comics brands. Lack of diversity, representation, experimentation with the brands, unique visions of cast and directors, none of those are working. The Zaslav team are focused on producing blockbuster on brand films that fit together in a larger storyline they can sell on every platform in every country on the planet and they won't be stopped.

With one disaster after another and many beloved characters' futures hanging in the balance, what is Warner Bros. even doing?

Batman and Flash Cropped
Warner Bros. has exclusive film rights to many of the most iconic characters in the history of fiction and their usage of those characters has been a disaster. Things have gone so far off the rails that fans have begun to wonder whether the studio is preparing to abandon one of its biggest cash cows.

The DC Comics universe used to dominate the big screen while Marvel's efforts struggled to be anything other than cheap messes. Over the years, Marvel has become a success factory with a reliable model and DC has begun to either run out of steam or cease to try.

Warner Bros. seems to be following an extremely grim and cynical corporate strategy. Anything that doesn't have the potential to be a monster hit seems prepped to be scuttled as the studio desperately seeks a big hit. Batgirl may have been canceled due to poor test screenings, but all new studio head David Zaslav can talk about is his desire to make big tent pole blockbusters. Warner Bros. supposedly wields a ten-year plan, comparable to Marvel's comically long schedules. The company seems to intend to continue pushing forward its DCEU cinematic experiment, but there have been substantial bumps in the road. As HBO Max slowly loses its hold on DC material, fans are wondering whether WB might be considering cutting and running.

Leslie Grace in the cancelled Batgirl movie
The DC Extended Universe began in 2013 with Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. For its first few years, Snyder's singular creative vision was the dominant design of the franchise. Even when he didn't direct the films, they fit into a puzzle in which he was the chief architect. This was an immensely troublesome decision that has, in many ways, only proven to be a massive wound in the company. Snyder's fanbase is one of the most die-hard, rabid, and hateful towards outsiders. During his reign, his fans were happy, but a tremendous percentage of the audience despised his miserable hypermasculine take on the characters. When he left Justice League and the studio put out the malformed mess that hit theaters in 2017, fans began demanding a fully restored Snyder Cut. They got that Snyder Cut, and they're still demanding the director reclaim his position. WB will be dealing with one portion of its audience viciously deriding and review bombing their material forever.

One of the biggest problems with WB as a studio is its inability to move on. WB had one inarguable guaranteed yearly monster success a decade ago, and they've never stopped trying to recapture it. When WB had the Harry Potter franchise, it had a reliable hit-maker that it could simply let rack up billions year after year. What WB seems to want out of its DCEU efforts is that same level of unquestioned monster success. Though every DCEU movie makes a comical amount of profit, it still isn't enough for them. Movies cost a lot of money to make, and having to take even the slightest risk on a project that might not bring in a billion dollars isn't considered worth it. This problem isn't exclusive to WB, it's become common. Movie studios want to make fewer movies and see more success. One billion-dollar hit covers a dozen mild successes or flops. This strategy is poisonous, but it's clearly popular.
