It’s not going to happen. Overall, DC has still been profitable. It’s the people who are running the show that needs to break free. Said the same thing with Fox. Rothman was a cancer to comic book movies. But then you see nothing really changed when he left. Not really the same thing, Fox didn't get rid of the comic properties they sold most of their non sports or news properties because that's their most profitable thing, also unlike DC or Marvel I don't think Fox had the rights to merchandising their comic properties, WB will keep making CBM's because even if they fail they make huge money off of toy sales alone, Wonder Woman is like a billion dollar property outside of the comics, the DC TV shows bring in billions for the company also every year, X-Men never got anywhere close to that for Fox.

Singer,Ratner, Kinberg, Donner and others drove the X-Men into the ground with mediocre movies.

What are you talking about? I'm just talking about how the higher ups handle making the movies. Tom Rothman was Fox's version of Feige. Except he didn't like the genre movies. He made the movies because he had to.

Sure WB execs right now may not like CBM's though I dunno if that is true or not, seems a bit stupid given superheros are the biggest genre in movies right now, but even if that is true and they decide eh fuck it no more Superhero movies WB wont get rid of DC because outside of the movies DC makes them so much money anyway.
Fox had to make the Marvel films or lose the rights to them, DC can sit on a property for decades and not worry, or keep pumping out movies even if they don't do huge box office and still profit because they can make the money off of the merchandise.
The post you responded to was saying no way DC gets out from WB because WB makes too much money from them, it's the execs who are cocking up the movies need to move on, your response of said the same thing bout Fox but nothing changed makes no sense, because when Rothman did leave Fox made more CBM's and we got 3 of the 4 best CBM's Fox ever made by most peoples opinions, though I am not as big a DOFP fan as most, but still hit to miss ratio improved without him, to the point they made Logan one of the best CBM's imo ever, and they made Deadpool on of the most enjoyable CBM's ever imo also.

What I was talking about in that post was that getting rid of the higher ups might not help anything (the last sentence in primeone's psot). Cause it might also be the people directly making the movie that's not making them good. I brought up Rothman was because he was the one running the show at Fox when it came to the comic book movies. When he left, nothing really changed because the people directly making the movies was making them the same way. So, you can blame the people in charge at WB for interfering with making the DCEU, but then you still have people like Snyder and Ayer making the movies. Kleinreturns got what I was saying.
