Comics/Politics: As CNN and HBO Max Go, So Will DC?

[dewline]

I have this horrible sense that the current executive staffing at DC Comics is about to be undone. Looking at what's already happening at CNN and HBO Max is clueing me in.

The nightmare scenario I expect based upon reports re: changes at those other branches of WB-Discovery's corporate empire: trade paperback collections and e-subscription access might be severely curtailed in order to reduce revenues going to creators of those older works; the current payroll being targeted for purges of non-Trumpists; the DC character roster being ethnically "white-washed" and otherwise altered to serve Trumpist audiences.

Am I wrong to expect this?

Hard to say. We do have the cancellation of Batgirl movie, and rumored meddling with Black Adam - apparently Those On High are ordering re-shoots. AT&T lost a lot of HBO subscribers when they started meddling, hopefully WB will be a bit smarter.

The DC movies were just beginning to gain traction, it would be a pity to see them drowned in a bathtub.
