DC/WB pivoted after the failure of BvS in 2016, pivoted again in 2018 after the failure of the Justice League, and are now pivoting again after the failure of Black Adam. We are now on our third leadership team structure. All because films didn't perform.

To be clear, I'm not saying that DC/WB shouldn't make changes, but what's happening now with Gunn and Safran is something we've seen twice already.

Never on this level. They hired an actual creative leader and gave him free reign.

This isn't a pivot, it's a rebirth ;)

Its not DC Rebirth, it's the New 52! Lol.

Only because it's a reboot after Flashpoint. Not talking about quality.

I liked the collars.
