While hiring an actual director to co-run its superhero unit may seem like a strange move, WBD’s Gunn grab is crucial for DC
completed HBO Max film “Batgirl” for a tax write-down was poorly received by the industry at large after longtime Warner Bros. partners like Christopher Nolan already went to rival studios due to frustration with the prior HBO Max strategy.
Placing their bets on Gunn to right these wrongs is a smart move from WBD leadership, in addition to being a clearly symbolic gesture toward admitting the flaws of prior DC and theatrical strategy before and during the pandemic. Now that the studio is holding firm in moving away from simply copying what Disney has done with the MCU, the pairing of Gunn and Safran is a nod toward setting a clear creative tone for the brand with respect to his work on the superhero format in both PG-13 and R-rated films.
It’s also important to remember that besides Sony, Warner Bros. is the only traditional major-studio Hollywood player that publishes its own video games. The DC brand plays an important role here alongside the likes of “Harry Potter” and “Mortal Kombat,” but could use some help. Released the same weekend as “Black Adam,” Warner Bros. Games’ “Gotham Knights” wasn’t received very well
