ICYMI: Some questions & thoughts on how streaming & the Arrowverse could be answers to WarnerBrosDiscovery head DavidZaslav's DCEU woes. Opinion / WBD Arrow TheFlash Supergirl LegendsOfTomorrow Batwoman BlackLightning MCU MarvelStudios Some questions & thoughts on how streaming & the Arrowverse could be answers to Warner Bros. Discovery head David Zaslav's DCEU woes. \nSo it looks like the DCEU is all the rage these days when it comes to headlines, but it's still not feeling like that's a good thing.DC films boss Walter Hamada has exited Warner Bros.slur in the workplace.Starting on Oct. It looks like Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam will be opening to some pretty impressive domestic & global box office numbers. But as for reviews, well… that's a different story. Deadline's sources indicate that the 15-year leader in the operation is just waiting on the company's leadership to finalize his exit package. As of this writing, the film's rocking 54% on the Rotten Tomatoes 'Tomatometer' (after 93 critics' reviews). For any fans who used that nickname for me for years, that’s what you were calling me. While there may have been high hopes that a successful combination of box office & reviews could be used to ignite a conversation about how this was a turning point for the DCEU. Fans have taken a greater interest in his involvement since the release of Justice League. But as it stands right now, it looks like the film's opening weekend could lead to more questions than it answers. Photo courtesy of Madame Tussauds “The horror genre has one of the most dedicated fan followings and we can’t wait to send a chill down visitors’ spines when they immerse themselves into these iconic scenes featuring terrifying wax figures,” said Madame Tussauds New York Head of Marketing Tiago Mogadouro. And since Warner Bros. Series star Ray Fisher came into conversation with the executive as a investigation into the circumstances behind-the-scenes with Geoff Johns and Joss Whedon began as well. “As a company, we sincerely apologize for the hateful and harmful behavior that occurred in the past. Discovery (WBD) head David Zaslav made it clear from the jump that bringing prestige back to the DCEU was a top priority, that's not a good thing. So being the television-obsessed TV Editor that I am, I'm offering up some key questions that I hope are at least being asked, if not being answered, as a way of righting the ship. It would seem like they're getting all their ducks in a row for a push now, but they've given indication that there was a plan before only to pivot time after time in quick succession.\nARROWVERSE CROSSOVER EVENT (Image: The CW)\nDear WBD Boss David Zaslav: Arrowverse & Other Points\nWill Warner Bros. The thread elaborated on a number of steps the company has taken, and said that the company was instituting a slowdown in its output this week so that workers can “reconnect with one another. Discovery Still Be 'Warner Bros. And as part of that, we're going to focus on quality," Zaslav explained after Batgirl got shelved. Madame Tussauds New York is located at 234 W 42nd St. Discovery' in 2025? Right from the start, Zaslav needs to address the growing rumblings that WBD is here to stay and not just cleaning itself up for a sale to Comcast in a couple of years. Because if he can't, then folks aren't going to be interested in signing up for a long-term DCEU game plan that might not make it three years. We're not going to release a film to make a [financial] quarter, we're not going to release a film [if it's not working]. Many of them are actively working to make Rooster Teeth a better place. Whoever the DCEU 'Kevin Feige' is going to be, they need to know they have the space and the time to get things done. So right off the bat, get that message out.?At the last DC FanDome, Hamada explained why they decided to go the multiverse route. Assuming that you're able to do that…\nSo Are You a Multiverse or Not? Right now, WBD has a ton of DCEU 'side universes,' from Todd Phillips' Joker and Matt Reeves' The Batman to James Gunn's The Suicide Squad\/Peacemaker. Last April, Discovery and WarnerMedia sealed a $43 billion merger, with AT&T remaining a stakeholder but no longer controlling the entertainment company and Rooster Teeth became a part of WBD. And that's fine. But, could also expand to projects like Matt Reeves' Batman without worrying about continuity strands between the two projects. But we all know Zaslav wants a 'core' universe to build 'The Big 3' (Superman, Batman & Wonder Woman) and then others from. So a line needs to be drawn before more cinematic & streaming 'variants to the sacred timeline' start happening."On one Earth we have this Gal and Jason and Ezra version of the JL and we can continue telling those stories, while on a separate Earth, we can have a more grounded, real, Year Two Batman, and build out that world and not really worry about continuity, story elements, and et cetera. But this is where a 'Kevin Feige' is a must because you will need someone who can keep a number of egos stroked at the same time. Because a 'multiverse' with a core DCU within it could be the very thing that differentiates the DCEU from the MCU." 7commentsWhat do you think about this news? Let us know down in the comments!. \nStop Trying to Imitate Marvel Studios! Aside from needing a 'Kevin Feige,' WBD needs to stop trying to adopt the Marvel Studios playbook because it doesn't apply to today. That's what's so brilliant about it. It read the tea leaves and understood where the theater experience was going and the potential that streaming was only just beginning to show. But that was a plan for its time, a 2o22 plan. WBD is trying to run a 10-year-old playbook during a time when streaming is as big of a player as ever (even if Zaslav disagrees to what degree). If Marvel Studios was running its play in these times, a streaming series plan would be in place to complement the films and speed up the building of a cohesive shared universe. Right now, it vibes that Zaslav wants the vast majority of attention focused on the film side, and I'm not sure that's not a bit short-sighted.\nWant to Do Right by the DCEU? Look to the 'Arrowverse'! WBD can 'Michael Bay' the living s**t out over every one of their films coming out, and it still won't mask what really does work for the DCEU. Want to know what Henry Cavill's Superman, James Gunn's The Suicide Squad\/Peacemaker & Shazam! have in common? Viewers are presented with characters that they can relate to & connect with, portrayed by actors who vibe that they were made for those roles instead of just another big-name money grab. And it makes a big difference. Look no further than how long the calls have gone out by fans over Cavill being underutilized as The Man of Steel (a mistake Zaslav appears intent on fixing). In fact, Zaslav & the WBD folks have a perfect example of how successful this approach can be in its own backyard. Yup, The CW's 'Arrowverse.'\nBecause when you're putting on full seasons of spandex drama on a broadcast network, you don't have the luxury of hiding behind big budgets & big effects. What worked, beginning with Arrow, running through a number of series over the years (Batwoman, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, Black Lightning & more) and continuing through the final episode of The Flash (Superman & Lois and DC's Stargirl aren't 'Arrowverse' proper), is that the Arrowverse reminded us that our heroes' (and villains') lives were just as important outside of the costumes as they are when they're throwing down with that season's 'big bad. ' Viewers begin to care about these people as members of their 'television family,' and encouraging is never a bad thing. Unless you cancel Batwoman and DC's Legends of Tomorrow because then you're going to rightfully hear about it. No proper series wrap-ups? Seriously? Anyway… sorry… got distracted.\n\nSo there you have it, Zaslav & folks with really long titles who make 897% more than I do on an annual basis. Just some friendly, unsolicited advice that comes from a place of tough love but with an optimistic heart. Because a world where we don't have Superman, Wonder Woman & Batman regularly teaming up on our screens just feels… sad.\n\n . Read more:
