The end of DC as we know it: New DCU leadership will probably follow family-friendly Marvel formula, according to its new chief

The article argues that DC’s film and television output may shift towards a more family-friendly style under new chief Jeremy Latcham, replacing some of the darker, mature tone associated with recent DC projects. This matters because the change could narrow the range of stories the DCU tells, though the article presents it as a prediction rather than a confirmed policy.

Latcham has described using a “grandma test” on Marvel films: asking whether someone outside the core audience would enjoy them, as a guide to appealing to ordinary families. The writer links that approach to both Marvel’s commercial successes and its more formulaic films, and contrasts it with James Gunn’s recent direction at DC; the article also notes Gunn has liked comments suggesting Peacemaker may be over.
