Mass layoffs are coming. Whose being fired is unknown yet.
A full fledged reboot to align with the Gunn universe is planned. DC is aware how fricked the characters and continuity is and the only way to entice new readers is to start fresh again. Why they ate doing this? From what is said, sales are the gutter again.
Ultimate Universe is still coming as a side branch to the main universe.
There are struggles in the bat office. DC has been bleeding editors and there are concerns about the position being filled. 150 currently has no editor and the Gotham group meetings no longer happen. Katie the temporary editor doesn’t want the job and previous talks with other potential candidates fell through.
There are talks about something happening in 2025, but I don’t know it’s about. There are whispers about licensing the characters.

just one more reboot will fix everything
I assume this is mostly fanfic but if they don't see how you can combine an "ultimate" line and a line based on the Gunn movies they're very dumb.
Also why are you doing a reboot and an ultimate line!!!!
The lack of communication at DC is astounding. They’re nice people but they don’t know what the frick they’re doing. Alot of reactions are due to course correction without a good elaborate plan.
>just one more reboot will fix everything
I wish I could remember the exact quote but there's a bit in Marvel Comics: The Untold Story about Shooter's proposed Big Bang idea where the intent was to retire all the characters and reboot everything (which eventually didn't happen but bits and pieces of it filtered through in things like New Universe or Eric Masterson). The intent was to streamline things because "continuity and characters had gotten too complicated" and to better align with outside media versions but one of the people who was against it had the logic that reboot would just make things worse and just inevitably lead to more reboots or something along those lines.
A reboot will happen as planned. But this is DC, they might change their minds at last minute.
>just one more reboot will fix everything
C'mon, man... one more fix, I swear DC will get clean afterwards...
sounds like fanfic
It’s not.
OP here
I made it all up
>the LARPer returns with another piece of fanfiction
There’s alot of conflict going on behind the scenes with Jim Lee.

There's a reason why your threads keep flopping, anon
OP: TWO MORE WEEKS
Samegay.
OP can't cope
Two more weeks spam is just as bad as DC is dying spam.
Are we gonna wait til the stock hits $5 before the "PROBLEM" starts blinking?
This is not a healthy trajectory for a company.
>oh shit homie everything is going to hell ever since Infinite Frontier begun, our floppies are doing worse than ever and our collection department is a joke, what do we do

I’ll happen. Be patient.

He’s not going anywhere, sorry.
then DC can keep being shit.
nobody wants a superhero universe helmed by the dance off bro man
He got the job because previous candidates declined. Sorry, no one wants to deal with WB or DC anymore. It’s either him or nothing.
what the frick does gunn have to do with DC being shit for the past 20 years?
Nothing. Gunn will finally reunite the entirety of DC under one universe. Games, series, movies…etc. This is something needed for years.
>A full fledged reboot to align with the Gunn universe is planned
Gunn's universe is basically starting off where the DCU already is though. Damian as Robin, older Batman, 21 year old Supergirl and so on.
Who said the reboot will be another new 52?
The New 52 wasn't a full on reboot too. Since they kept the Batman and Green lantern history but then tried to force it into their weird 5 year timeline. They obviously wouldn't do that again.
That had nothing to do with that I asked.
A reboot isn’t the answer.
There is no answer.
By trivializing their multiverse, nobody cares about DC anymore.
It's not trivializing the multiverse, it's that continuity is completely fricked and has been ever since the New 52. Nobody's ever had an idea of what contiuity is actually supposed to be in the last 13 years and DC finally gave up, said everything is canon even the shit that contradicts itself and everybody basically just does what they want. Current DC is basically the "cape comics where writers can do what they feel like unshackled by the chains of continuity" and it turns out that was a bad idea because continuity and the shared universe and the idea that you were reading something part of a larger whole and grander narrative was a huge draw for cape comics. The continuity wasn't a detriment but instead hooked readers and created loyal fans who wanted to know what happened in other areas. Getting/downplaying it was shooting themselves in the foot.
Nice fanfic
DC never does full reboots. it is always half ones.
You keep spamming this for years and it still wont happen.
And dc wont do another reboot. They've contiunsly been doing un-reboots, they'll do another relaunch
>Americans are in denial about the state of their country.
Didn’t Mark Waid finally admit that comics are kind of in trouble right now.
The guy who wrote JL vs Godzilla also said the sales are lower than ever.
Zdarsky also said the sales have fallen.
>and the only way to entice new readers is to start fresh again
With entirely new characters in a new setting? Possibly. But they aren't going to sell Superman, Wonder Woman or Flash or Shazam to teenagers/kids.
They can if they make them all gay black women.
I would not lightly challenge DC/WBD on that one, even as a joke.
Outsource the characters to manga creators and kids might be interested.
Why would they reboot to align with a film universe that will inevitably fail?
This. It's like realigning DC comics to align with Reynold's Green Lantern.
Gunn is entirely the wrong guy for this project, but they couldn't steal anyone more important from the MCU.
They stole Whedon and Justice League was still a disaster.
They used Whedon only to do a quick patch job on a gigantic turd of a movie.
They never really utilized him. It's like having your house collapse and blaming the guy who painted your deck.
>It's like realigning DC comics to align with Reynold's Green Lantern.
This is literally what happened in 2011 lol. Made Waller skinny to reflect the GL movie because they were planning on it launching the DCEU
“Why would DC do this” has been the question for the past decade.
They should just change to releasing all unprofitable books digitally, and in hardcovers if there is enough interest (say 20000 digital views or more get hardcovers), and call it a day. Even if they are left with 10 non-Digital books.
Also, they should wait until the Gunn universe actually is established and successful (if) before making any more reboots. Honestly, chances of Gunn flopping or doing meh are fairly high.
Doesn’t the new Superman have a completely different logo design? Having everything connected and then the comics being the complete opposite is going to be strange.
You have to take all these grand pronouncements with a grain of salt, at the end of the day DC and WBD both know it's the Joker (and his pal Batman) that are keeping the lights on at Detective Comics Comics.
The utter collapse of Superman and the rest of the Justice League outside of Batman is quite astounding.
What the frick did anything have to do with what I said. I was just talking about designs. You just typed a random thought whether it had anything to do with my original post.
Superman literally does not matter any longer. Any more than Mickey Mouse is the linchpin of Disney's success or failure moving forward.
Everyone recognizes the "S", but it's whatever.
No one gives a shit about Superman's design, or whether he has trunks or not, except for a few hundred comic autists.
One I don’t give a frick about your anger. I was just asking a simple question about the reboot rumors. Going on some schizo rant about a cartoon doesn’t make you look good.
>Superman literally does not matter any longer.
you can keep repeating this but that's not going to make it true
Morrison coming in with a steel chair
Scott Snyder is writing the planned Ultimate Justice League that is going to branch off to lanching Ultimate Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman. There's also a Ultimate Supergirl Girl mini because Gunn.
These are the preliminary teams that he has picked for the other books:
Ultimate Superman Al Ewing
Ultimate Supergirl mini Tom King
Ultimate Batman James Tynion IV
Ultimate Wonder Woman Marguerite Bennett
Are they actually going to be called "Ultimate" like Marvel's universe?
Elseworld DC
They have never stopped fricking around with out-of-man-continuity titles, and it has never been a cure in the past.
Al Ewing is on Wonder Woman a
Jason Aaron is on Superman
No Bennett wanted the WW book since forever because she was suppose to get it for Rebirth, but had to step aside for Rucka because of health problems.
What’s the prompt for all the stories? Details?
>James Tynion IV
lmao if true
Cope.
>Marguerite Bennett
She hasn’t written a single good story.
Sounds perfect for The League Wonder Women then.
She's one of Snyder's students,
Why do you think both of them are stuck in the comic industry? They’re industry rejects.
I think they should go in a way where you're only guarantee 3 issues in a run. Make these hacks actually write a full story for once in less than 50 billion chapters. Licensing sounds decent. Kill off everything outside Batman. There will never be a non Batman book that will be good in DC. Keep Black Label and focus on actual new IPs for it. These other super heroes are nothing compared to Marvel properties.
They will never, ever stop promoting their classic Superfriends or giving them new books.
Aquaman hasn't had a fresh story in decades, and it's just a matter of time before they start it all over again.
I wouldn't mind a Justice League for all other non-Batman characters. And again stick with 3 issues only for a writer. Force them into continuity and make it work with ongoing Batman.
The only real merit to Batman comics is that (increasingly old) Batman grognards still bag 'em up. Creatively it's just as bankrupt as the rest of DC comics.
Who's turn is it to take over Gotham this year? Mr Freeze? Scarecrow? It's all tiresome garbage with an ever-growing pile of legacy characters for a hero that will never retire in continuity.
The problem isn’t with the IP, the problem is that there is no stability in editorial and the they keep putting the wrong talent on Batman.
I don’t think Batman needs to be the totally milquetoast, soulless, comic that it has become. To me personally the continued minimization of the ‘Bruce Wayne’ aspect of the character and the duality that comes with that has made him inhuman and boring. Without fatherly Alfred waiting up for Bruce and nursing him back to health all of the time, we as readers forget he is a human being and without that we lose the ability to empathize and relate to the character. That coupled with the absolutely boring, hackneyed “Gotham takeover” storylines and terrible events have absolutely killed the character
DC is only kept alive because of WB. Every comic is in the cancellation numbers.
WBD is dying just as fast. It's a bad look when DCEU movies start migrating to Disney+.
Funny how WB collapsed twice and people are still in denial. The hubris of Americans is astounding.
I feel the company has one more half-off sale in it, then it will simply dissolve into streaming syndication.
As long as DC comics die.
Why do you hate America?
I’m American but the hubris of Americans thinking that America is untouchable is fricking ridiculous. Culture is too arrogant and being humble is apparently a bad thing now. The entertainment is only a piece of this. No one takes criticism seriously anymore and will rather collapse than do the right thing.
America is literally falling and people still believe that everything is going to be fine? How fricking blind do you have to be.
