A live-action team-up movie featuring Batman and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles no longer sounds like a crazy idea.

What the future holds for DC Studios in a post-James Gunn and Peter Safran world is anyone’s guess at the moment. Perhaps we’ll know more once incoming DC Studios President and Chief Creative Officer Jeremy Latcham assumes command December 1, but I assume there may not be any new film or TV slates officially announced until after the New Year.
The biggest question, obviously, is whether the new Skydance-operated regime will reboot Gunn’s DCU, with some reports claiming that might be the case. Skydance is $87 billion in debt and looking to cut costs and maximize profits across the board. Post-merger, Skydance now has all of the Paramount intellectual property at their disposal to exploit as well as the entire Warner Bros. library.
So how might such a debt-riddled corporation start producing films that seem like safer commercial bets than, say, a Clayface movie (which was a modest success for DC Studios)?
