Who should be a part of Warner Bros.’ 10-year plan for DC and the DCEU?

DC Comics hasn’t had a great decade when it comes to their movies. Sure, The Batman, Shazam, Wonder Woman and Aquaman were all revered. Plus Batman v. Superman and both Wonder Woman films made a ton of money. At the end of the day, that would be enough for some companies, but not for Warner Bros.

During the Q2 2022 earnings call, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said, “We’re not going to release any film before it’s ready. We’re not going to release a film to make a quarter.” An incredible sign to go with their ten year plan for a better DC Entertainment Universe. Now, instead of rushing out movies, more time will be taken to build up the franchise.

Now comes the crucial part. What characters should be used to bring this franchise to the top? Of course the creative team is the most important part of the ten year plan for the DCEU. Without them, even classic characters won’t work. The opposite of that is true as well. This writer is choosing to believe that Warner Bros. will bring in the right team to create more popular movies. Furthermore, they should use these characters to do it.
