EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros' Jeff Robinov Restructures DC Comics; Diane Nelson Put In Charge Of DC Business; DC Titles In Development Pulled From Producers

Wanna bet that the restructuring at DC Comics/Warner Bros. is a direct response to Disney acquiring Marvel comics? Me too. Sure bet. I don't blame them. With the power of Disney behind Marvel, combined with blockbuster movies and animation Marvel has been churning out since 1998, they could bury DC Comics. And let's not forget DC looses the copyright to Superman in 2013. Don't get me wrong DC Comics publishes some of the most iconic, awesome fictional characters ever published. However it has failed to capitalize in other media (except animation since 1992) such as video games and live-action movies. DC Comics is going in all the right directions investing in newer technology like Motion Comics. Of course Marvel is doing the same thing. It';s been remarked that 80% of the world's comic book industry has changed in about a week.

I'm hoping that with the restructuring at DC we will see better movies and video games based on their characters. It's already begun with Chris Nolan movie versions of Batman, Arkham Asylum, and the new animated projects. I think that DC Comics will more than survive this.
