## Summary

Warner Bros’ new owner, Skydance, is replacing DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran with producer Jeremy Latcham from 1 December. The article argues DC has repeatedly missed the chance to build a consistent rival to Marvel, and that changing leadership and rebooting its heroes may come too late as audiences tire of superhero films.

Gunn and Safran oversaw three releases in four years: “Superman”, “Supergirl” and “Clayface”; “Man of Tomorrow” and “The Batman: Part II” are still due. The writer contrasts DC’s shifting styles, from Zack Snyder’s darker films to Gunn’s lighter approach and separate “Joker” and “Batman” series, with Marvel’s more unified universe. The article says Marvel itself increasingly relies on dependable “Spider-Man” and “Avengers” entries, and compares the superhero boom to past Hollywood trends such as Westerns and musicals.
