DC and Warner Brothers take yet another step in the right direction with the announcement of their new media arm DC Entertainment Inc!
Warner Bros. Entertainment as created a brand-spankin’-new company, dubbed DC Entertainment Inc., that will “fully realize the power and value of the DC Comics brand and characters across all media and platforms.” Or so the press release says. DC Entertainment is to be run by Diane Nelson, former president of Warner Premiere (the studio’s direct-to-video arm) that cranked out quite a few movies based on DC properties.
One of the realities of seeing more of our favourite Marvel properties to the big screen than DC ones has simply been that Marvel now has its own Studio dedicated to the adaptation of their films on top of the existing studios who have the rights to some of the other more popular properties.
DC, owned by WB had its titles in competition with the flood of other films WB has in consideration. So while Marvel just has to decide which of its properties to do next, DC had to justify the potential of a Wonder Woman film in the same ring as 17 Again and the Informant.
For every Final Destination taking up Warner Brothers coffers, a DC property does not get made. Now that WB has created its own DC branch of the WB trade, they will have their own dedicated resources and budgets to create whatever they see fit.
This could bring a tidal wave of new properties from DC to the big screen. Personally I hope to see Flash, Wonder Woman and Green Arrow. They were always among my favourites.
What mainstream DC title would you like to see??
