Goodbye comics.

So, now you have DC Comics, which ostensibly controls the DC characters. You have WB's movie division, which controls their base movie business. And now you have DCE, which is going to be dipping into both of their cookie jars, all the while knowing that every time they release another movie like The Dark Knight, they'll hit their targets for the year pretty easily, but they'll just set the bar even higher the next year. So, all of this spells big things for the future of DCE, but whether it'll be big success or bigger failure, we won't know for a few years at least.

Sorry. I am not being sarcastic to be mean. Marvel is a movie studio. DC is part of one of the largest companies ever. There is no industry without business. It sucks at times, but if you are going to get upset at companies for being companies, look past the comics industry. There are worse things happening with worse companies and at least the printers are still rolling. Right?
Times are rough...across the board.

Yes, thanks for the Death and Rebirth of Superman by the way. *eyeroll*

They both need to streamline their titles (how many superman titles? how many x-men titles? How many timelines/alt history/worlds?) and organize things abit.
That said, I worry about every comic book story being made for the sole purpose of being sold as a movie/video game/action doll. etc.
Quesada is one to talk. Marvel survived b/c of the spiderman/ x-men movies- not b/c of his editorial direction of Marvel and the shamless amount of x-titles he keeps on pushing out.
