The foundations of Warner Bros. Pictures are shaking like a freshly wet dog. The disappointing career of the 'Justice League' at the box office - already confirmed as the worst DCEU film to date - has prompted DC Entertainment president Diane Nelson to request a leave of absence due to "a series of personal situations. " Warner Bros. Entertainment CEO Kevin Tsujihara shared the news himself and also revealed that Thomas Gewecke, who is currently the digital director and executive vice president of strategy and business development at Warner Bros., will be promoted to support the executive management team. DC, completely suffocated by circumstances and composed by legends like Dan DiDio, Jim Lee, Geoff Johns and Amit Desai, who will remain in their current position.
We do not know how long that absence and the development of Thomas Gewecke will be in that position, but things are not working for DC Comics on the big screen. Only 'Wonder Woman', the most profitable film of 2017, has been a real success for the DC Extended Universe. The failure of films as big as 'Batman v Superman: The Dawn of Justice' and the 'Justice League' has caused the shared universe of the superheroes of this editorial to be completely corrupted, to the point that this year we will only see 'Aquaman' in December and next year we only have 'Shazam' and 'Wonder Woman 2' on the way. The problems of 'The Batman' with Matt Reeves and Ben Affleck continue, while 'Flashpoint' is on standby and 'The Man of Steel 2' we know absolutely nothing. In short: an authentic chaos.
