Superman & Lois

I can't find any source for DC Studios being a producer on the show. At best the editors have cited the article from James Gunn and Peter Safran that they expect the show to continue for one or two seasons on DC Studios page.

I fail to understand how does an expectation by someone equate to being involved in production though. I know DC Studios now has the right to take decisions on every DC media, but that doesn't mean production involvement. For example Flash season 9 doesn't have DC Studios listed.

DC Studios dosen't just have rights for decisions, Gunn said here that every DC media would fall under DC Studios. And apparently, they don't have an actual logo. BestDaysofMusic (talk) 20:10, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DC Studios is NOT a rebranded DC Films

THR: “James Gunn and producer Peter Safran have been tapped to lead DC’s film, TV and animation efforts as co-chairs and co-CEOs of DC Studios, a newly formed division at Warner Bros. that will replace DC Films.” https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/dc-movies-james-gunn-peter-safran-to-lead-film-tv-division-1235248438/

Variety: “James Gunn and Peter Safran have been tapped as co-chairmen and co-CEOs of DC Studios, a newly created production entity that will oversee DC properties for Warner Bros. Discovery.” https://variety.com/2022/biz/news/james-gunn-peter-safran-dc-studios-warner-bros-discovery-1235414228/

The Verge: “Warner Bros. Discovery has chosen director James Gunn and producer Peter Safran to lead its recently formed DC Studios division.” https://www.theverge.com/2022/10/25/23423484/james-gunn-peter-safran-dc-studios-ceo-dceu

USA Today: “The studio on Tuesday named Gunn and veteran executive Peter Safran co-chairmen and CEOs of the newly formed DC Studios.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/movies/2022/10/25/james-gunn-peter-safran-become-ceos-newly-formed-dc-studios/10601719002/

Warner Bros. Discovery: “Peter Safran is Co-Chairman & Co-Chief Executive Officer of DC Studios, a newly formed division of Warner Bros. Discovery” https://www.wbd.com/leadership/peter-safran

James Gunn: “As the new (& first ever) CEOs of DC Studios, Peter & I think it’s important we acknowledge you, the fans” https://x.com/jamesgunn/status/1589336402873188354

”When Peter and I formed DC Studios we immediately knew what logo we wanted to use.” https://x.com/jamesgunn/status/1816954985760100536

“Last night Peter & I went to the #Penguin premiere, the first DC Studios production.” https://x.com/jamesgunn/status/1836448114950946935

This whole page needs to be split into two and rewritten. DC Films was a separate, now defunct, division, which was replaced with a new studio. 90% of the contents of this page are irrelevant to DC Studios. The production library of this new studio began this week with The Penguin and Super/Man. 184.144.61.138 (talk) 21:21, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DC Studios succeeded DC Films and took over its operations and production. The history of DC Films directly affected what became DC Studios, so that is why they share an article. A split of these closely connected articles is not warranted at this time because there is not an excessive amount of detail. Also, rebrands come with different leaders and corporate structures, not always just in name alone. Trailblazer101 (talk) 22:41, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
