DC Studios’ new boss is reportedly planning to prioritize more mainstream characters like Batman and Wonder Woman going forward.
Earlier this week, it was announced that DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran were stepping down (reports indicate they were actually fired), and now… we have an idea of what the new direction for the franchise may look like.
According to a new report from The Wrap, DC Studios’ new incoming CEO, Jeremy Latcham, is expected to focus only on the hits going forward. The report claims that Latcham has been tasked by Skydance CEO David Ellison to assemble the Justice League on the big screen as quickly as possible. That means prioritizing projects with The Flash, Wonder Woman, Batman, and other heroes that the average filmgoer would recognize.

As a result, don’t expect bigger swings with more niche characters like Clayface, Booster Gold, or Peacemaker. The report even name-checked “modest” characters like Supergirl as not being a focus going forward.
