After “Superman” landed in theaters last summer, former Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav was ready to pop Champagne. Although the movie had only been playing on the big screen for three days, he touted the “bold 10-year plan” of DC Studios co-chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran and promised “the DC vision is clear” and “the momentum is real.”

Fast forward a year and a half, and those plans have imploded. Gunn and Safran were dismissed from the top of the comic book empire, with Marvel Studios alum Jeremy Latcham taking over as president and chief creative officer of DC Studios.
