Diane Nelson is out as president of DC Entertainment, Warner Bros. announced Wednesday.
She has been on a leave of absence for family-related issues since March, but will not return to her post. Nelson also serves as president of Warner Bros. Consumer Products. The decision is said by an insider to be her own. She was not forced out of her job, the insider stressed.
Before her exit, Nelson was one of the most powerful and prominent female executives in Hollywood and on the Warner Bros. lot. She was seen as being closely aligned with Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara.
In a letter to staff, Tsujihara wrote, “Diane has been a friend and colleague as well as a valued member of the Warner Bros. family for more than 20 years. While we’re sad she’ll be leaving us, we completely respect and support her decision.”

Diane Nelson, the president of DC Entertainment and president of Warner Bros. consumer products who has been on leave for several months, is not returning to the studio.
Nelson took a leave of absence in late March in order to focus on family-related issues. She had been expected to return, but sources say that very recently she decided not to resume her duties, announcing her plan to Warner Bros. Entertainment CEO Kevin Tsujihara.
Tsujihara revealed the move Wednesday in a companywide announcement.

Justice League was DC’s big chance to shine and prove that they could consistently make good superhero movies. Unfortunately, it didn’t get the warm reception that Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment hoped for and needed. After the poor performance of Justice League, it’s only natural for Warner Bros. to look at restructuring that department. Variety stated recently that the man currently running the DC Comics' film production division, Jon Berg, will be moving on to become a production partner with Roy Lee. Talking about this change, Toby Emmerich, Warner Bros. Picture Group President, had this to say:
.This is something that Jon approached me about six months ago, and he expressed his goal was to ultimately be a producer at the studio. I first met Jon when, as a producer, he brought ‘Elf’ to New Line, which remains one of the best and most evergreen titles in the library.

Jon Berg, Warner Bros. co-president of production and Justice League producer, is stepping down from his executive position where he acts as the studio's point person on all things DC. He has joined Lego Movie producer Roy Lee's production banner, which is based on the studio's Burbank lot.
Berg oversaw the studio's DC films, along with DC chief creative officer Geoff Johns, who also runs point on the studio's comic book television offerings.

Even though Greg Berlanti and company have crafted quite the interconnected DC Universe over on The CW, there are still some big names that have yet to put in appearances. And as awesome as those fall crossovers tend to be, it’s hard to imagine a DC Universe existing without certain characters – like Batman, for one.
Obviously, a lot of this has to do with the fact that there’s some red tape separating the film and television divisions at Warner Bros., but we’ve seen the suits become more liberal when it comes to spreading the wealth these days. Still, that hasn’t stopped Arrow from making use of major Batman villains over the years, with the likes of Ra’s al Ghul, Talia al Ghul and Anarky being but a few of them.
Given all that, it still came as quite the shock when Oliver Queen deflected public...

Ever since the disappointing reception of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, rumors have been swirling of friction between Warner Bros. and director Zack Snyder.
Now, Vulture’s Abraham Riesman may have confirmed those rumors during an appearance on the Batman On Film podcast. While discussing his story for Vulture titled “DC Is Rethinking Its Cinematic Universe,” Riesman said he had a quote from DC Entertainment president Diane Nelson that didn’t make his story:
‘We are a director-driven place. And Zack had a vision that didn’t necessarily sync up with what our vision of these characters is, but we respect that he wanted to go for that and that’s part of our philosophy.’ I’m paraphrasing there.”

Ever since we got our first look at Justice League with last year’s Comic-Con trailer, there’s been a lot of talk about the production having being reworked from top to bottom after the mixed reception to Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. These rumours only intensified when we learned that Joss Whedon was replacing Zack Snyder as the movie’s director for its extensive reshoots.
In particular, it was often said that Warner Bros. were looking to make the film lighter and funnier, so as to get away from the gloomy tone of BvS that proved so controversial. Not only that, but as a new quote that’s surfaced today reveals, the studio simply didn’t agree with Snyder’s vision for the franchise.

A new week, and yet another indication that the folks at DC need to improve their communication skills. Recently, executives at the comics company stated, in the press, that Marvel style connectivity between their films was no longer the ultimate end game.
“Our intention, certainly, moving forward is using the continuity to help make sure nothing is diverging in a way that doesn’t make sense, but there’s no insistence upon an overall storyline or interconnectivity in that universe,” DC Entertainment president Diane Nelson had said.

Today’s interview with DC Creative Officer Geoff Johns and DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson explained that, post-Justice League, Warner Bros. is planning to de-emphasize the shared universe across their films. Now, we know a little bit more as to how it’ll be structured.
You’ll still have movies that are technically within the same universe, but we probably won’t be seeing events in one film influencing another. On top of that, there’ll be a separate line of pics with no connection to the Dceu whatsoever – like the upcoming Joker project.
Perhaps the most intriguing prospect on the DC radar, the film has The Hangover director Todd Phillips attached to co-write and helm, with none other than Martin-freakin-Scorsese apparently in talks to produce. Not only that, but it’s been said that Warner Bros. is targeting Leonardo DiCaprio to play the title role. We’ll see...

DC Entertainment is rethinking its film strategy as presidents Diane Nelson and Geoff Johns are stepping away from the idea of a shared universe to adopt a new approach. In lengthy deep dive by Vulture’s Abraham Reisman, Nelson said, “Our intention, certainly, moving forward is using the continuity to help make sure nothing is diverging in a way that doesn’t make sense, but there’s no insistence upon an overall story line or interconnectivity in that universe.” Johns added that they are looking at “Wonder Woman” as an example moving forward, noting the how the film told a standalone story with few.

Ever since The Avengers cleaned up at the box office and proved that a shared cinematic universe works, other studios have been hungry to emulate it. One of the hardest working candidates was Warner Bros., with the DC universe initially appearing like more than a match for whatever Marvel could come up with. But things change…
After an abortive beginning with 2011 flop Green Lantern, they kicked things off for real with 2013’s Man of Steel, which led into Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman and the upcoming Justice League. It’s safe to say that these films haven’t all set the cinematic world on fire, with only Wonder Woman becoming an outright hit.
Perhaps encouraged by that movie’s relatively standalone narrative and the failures of their other films (rumors that Justice League is a stinker continue to circle), Warner Bros. have decided to change...

Ever since Warner Bros. started building their Dceu films with Man of Steel, they have been trying to get a handle on things and figure out what it is that the fans want out of these films. I think most people can agree that they got everything right with Wonder Woman, but what happens now? Well, during a recent interview with Vulture, Geoff Johns and Diane Nelson address the future of their DC films and it sounds like after Justice League comes out, there are going to be some changes with their strategy.
They are going to start de-emphasizing the idea that these movies have to share the same world and crossover with each other. The continuity of the films will stay in place, though. Nelson explains:

Here's a piece of gear that Lego fans might go batty for: a custom Lego jacket with Batman, The Joker, and the Batsignal on it. According to DC's blog (via io9), it was made by Lego artist Nathan Sawaya for DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson to wear at this past weekend's premiere of The Lego Batman Movie. We've featured Sawaya's work on the site a handful of times in the past, but I don't think we've ever seen him make an item of clothing before. While I don't necessarily think it'd be the most comfortable thing to put on, it definitely makes a statement. DC's blog states that this one-of-a-kind jacket took the artist 100 hours to create and consists of more than 10,000 bricks.

For Wonder Woman’s 75th anniversary, the character was named an honorary United Nations ambassador for the empowerment of women. Just two months later, the Amazon was given the boot when a petition initiated by some feminist groups caused the Un to change their minds. The complaints said that the selection of Wonder Woman was both sexist and racist. Will this unexpected backlash against the iconic comic character effect the box office for the upcoming Wonder Woman film?

Something that's come under constant fire, which includes derisive remarks from the former shepherd of the DC Extended Universe Zack Snyder, is whether or not new films in the DC canon should aspire to adapt what Richard Donner did with Superman: The Movie. A quick search of the net will bring you to all kinds of quotes about how corny, campy, and silly Donner's take on the Superman mythology was.
But one of WB/DC's directors that absolutely embraces what Donner pulled off with his 1978 superhero epic is Wonder Woman's Patty Jenkins. First there was these words she uttered to Variety earlier this year:
"Superman[: The Movie]’ was all about you. It was about you watching and realizing what it would feel like to have great powers and do great things. It was full of love and emotion."
Those comments perked my ears up, because that's something I've long-argued is missing...

Today is the 75th anniversary of DC Comics' Wonder Woman. While Warner Bros. is celebrating all over, it's important to remember the impact Wonder Woman has had on so many, especially young girls. Let's commemorate the day with this adorable little Wonder Woman. While Gal Gadot, Patty Jenkins, Lynda Carter and DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson stopped at the United Nations today, and the voice of animated Wonder Woman, Susan Eisenberg got a nice feature at The Hollywood Reporter, fans celebrated in their own way. And one little fan, in particular, has been making the rounds. FullTimePhotographer.com did a feature on commercial photographer and digital artist Josh Rossi and his daughter Nellee. With help from Eve Keener, Mcgrew Studio, Crit Killen, and Caleb Blood they turned this 3-year-old into an adorable recreation of Gadot's Amazon Warrior. Just look in awe at the fierceness. Happy 75th Anniversary of Wonder Woman!

One of the things fans of the recent DC films love about those movies is that they're often dark and gritty. But hopefully that's not the only aspect of them they enjoy, because Diane Nelson, president of DC Entertainment, told Variety that those darker tones aren't the result of a company policy:
“There’s a misconception that DC or [parent studio] Warner Bros. has made a conscious decision for all our movies to be darker or edgier. That’s not the case. Fans of the DC universe know that there are characters, like Batman, who are darker, but there are others like Wonder Woman, who are hopeful, optimistic leaders, and the tone of [Wonder Woman] represents that.”
Deborah Snyder, who's producing Wonder Woman, echoed that sentiment:
“‘Wonder Woman’ is very different in tone and style than ‘Batman v Superman’ and ‘Suicide Squad.' We pick directors who have their own points of view, so...

Just the other day I covered some comments from Gal Gadot, who said that the Wonder Woman she plays in the Dceu stands for "Love, Justice, and Compassion" and that her solo film will reflect that. Today, there are more comments in that vein, and they come from DC Co-President Diane Nelson.
While discussing what she thinks of Gadot, Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins, and what excites her about the vision for this film.
"It’s a testament to Zack Snyder’s casting ability. I think Gal was someone who embodied the role so beautifully, and we saw lots of evidence on how audiences responded when she came onscreen for the first time…she and Ben Affleck really stood out as two amazing parts of [Batman v Superman], and the real life Gal has many of the traits that Wonder Woman does. She is athletic and strong, and she has a great deal of integrity.

Personally, I’m not a big fan of the current trend that sees directors of big movies having to defend their films months before they ever get near a cinema screen. This atmosphere of negativity – an expectation of failure – seems to lay the groundwork for audience conflict far ahead of movie release dates. Many will argue that this has been exacerbated by the work of filmmakers, such as Zack Snyder, or by studios, such as Warner Bros – releasing giant comic book movies with interpretations of beloved characters that have not been embraced by all. Wherever it comes from, the latest to step onto this PR minefield is Wonder Woman.
Those behind the upcoming film have been speaking to Variety in a clear bid to launch an early charm offensive – and they are determined to get the word out that Wonder Woman is its own project, as President of DC Entertainment Diane Nelson explained.

Having adorned comic book tiles since the early 40s, Princess Diana of Themyscira is a character that needs no introduction – Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman is, however.
Sworn in to be DC and Warner Bros.’ warrior princess more than a year ago, it’s fair to say that the former Fast and Furious stalwart has really taken to the part, displaying the necessary mix of elegance, wisdom, grace and empathy – along with love and compassion – that Diana Prince is celebrated for. That’ll all be put to the test when Patty Jenkins’ standalone movie checks into theaters in June of next year. Adding to that pressure is the fact that the DC Extended Universe, following the release of Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad, hasn’t enjoyed the level of success Warner was hoping for.

There's just under seven months to go until the next installment in the Dceu, Wonder Woman, arrives in theatres. With the character's 75th anniversary being celebrated this year, along with a standout appearance in Batman v Superman back in March, anticipation for the character's first solo outing is at an all time high. President of DC Entertainment Diane Nelson counts herself among those who are waiting excitedly for the film, and recently praised the film's star, Gal Gadot. In a video interview with Variety, Nelson said she believed that DC and Warner Bros. got very lucky with Gadot's casting, citing both the audience response to the character, along with Gadot's personal attributes, as huge positives. "It's a testament to Zack Snyder's casting ability. I think Gal was someone who embodied the role so beautifully, and we saw lots of evidence on how audiences responded when she came onscreen for the first time.

Following the apparent reveal by Ben Affleck that Deathstroke will be the lead villain in his upcoming Batman movie, fans have been wondering what exactly the future holds in store for Slade Wilson. The villain played a key role in the second season of Arrow, but has since only made one brief appearance in The CW drama.
Is that because he’s now off limits to the network? Bear in mind that it’s previously been reported that Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad vanished from Arrow because of Warner Bros.’ big screen plans for the characters, but the prospect of Manu Bennett not being able to reprise the role of Deathstroke in this world is definitely a major disappointment.
However, during a recent convention appearance, Arrow star Stephen Amell weighed in why the big screen plans for the villain may not mean that’s the case.

As great as the idea of shared universes is, it does definitely seem to add a little bit of extra complication when it comes to using the same characters in different mediums.
Since Marvel has one expansive universe that spans both TV and film, it makes sense that they'd have to in sync with one another as far which characters were being utilized. You couldn't very well have a non-Robert Downey Jr. Iron Man show up in Daredevil or Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and many fans assumed that the DC properties would mostly be handled the same, even though TV and film feature very different worlds. After all, it's not like we could expect to see Batman pop up in an episode of The Flash or Arrow.
However, if the upcoming introduction of Superman in Supergirl is any indication, this isn't exactly the case, and although the character of Deathstroke...

At Salt Lake Comic -Con, Arrow star Stephen Amell was asked by a fan whether Ben Affleck's reveal that Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke was seemingly set to appear in Justice League/Batman results in Manu Bennett no longer able to reprise the same role on Arrow. Amell responded, "That's actually something that people bring up on a regular basis…that DC has told us you can’t have or you must get rid of [this character]. That’s not how that works. Diane Nelson and Geoff Johns – the people at Warner Bros. on the feature side, the people at Warner Bros. on the television side – are all in the business of making the best products for fans. Just because there may or may not be a Deathstroke in the DC Extended Universe doesn’t mean Manu Bennett can’t exist on our show." However, it's been previously stated by other Arrow...

At last week's San Diego Comic-Con, fans and press noted a distinct change in tone from DC's offerings. Everything that was shown from Justice League and Wonder Woman felt far more colorful, wondrous, and- at times- more humorous than either of the Dceu films we've seen so far. There was a lightness and a playfulness that seemed to signal the Snyder Era was over.
For those of us in the know, this was no surprise and it didn't happen by accident.
Two months ago, the big story making the rounds was that Geoff Johns and Jon Berg had moved up the Warner Bros/DC Films ladder and were now in charge of the DC Extended Universe. This was all part of the fallout from Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, which was so maligned by critics, caused such a negative stir among fans, and had underperformed at the box office...

Question 1: What’s the coolest part of the Wonder Woman myth?
That’s easy. It’s her invisible airplane. Hands down.
Question 2: What really cool looking merchandising item is coming to help celebrate (or milk) Ww’s 75th anniversary?
Ummm… It’s her invisible airplane. Among everything else you can imagine.
Question 3: What crucial element of her saga is not in the upcoming Wonder Woman movie?
Oy. Please don’t tell me it’s her invisible airplane.
Just as I’ve grown comfortable recommending the otherwise dreadful Batman v Superman movie solely for the Wonder Woman scenes, DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson somewhat apologetically told People Magazine “There is no invisible jet. Not in this iteration.”
Feh.
I wasn’t thrilled about the movie being set during World War I, even though it is being released in time to, ahh, celebrate the 100th anniversary of The War To End All Wars.

Gal Gadot is in production on Justice League, but we will next see her Diana Prince in the solo Wonder Woman movie on June 2, 2017. We've already been treated to Gadot wielding the lasso, sword, and shield in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, but there's one piece of Wonder Woman iconography that we won't be seeing: the invisible jet. I'm not sure if that pun is intended or not. In speaking about the film with People, DC Entertainment president Diane Nelson teased a bit of what fans can expect from the Patty Jenkins-directed film. “It will have its own tone and look – it’s beautiful. There is humor in it, there is real emotion in Diana’s journey in discovering the complexity of man,” Nelson says, adding, “There is no invisible jet. Not in this iteration.” Warner Brothers/DC will be bringing a life-size replica of the jet for a celebratory display at Comic-Con, however, which will also include Wonder Woman-inspired graffiti and costumes from the 1970s Lynda Carter TV series to Gadot's in the most recent iterations. It would be tricky indeed to make that jet work in a film set in the World War I-era (as the Wonder Woman movie is), but, man, I'd love to see them try.

To mark the 75th anniversary of one of the world’s best-known Super Heroes, Warner Bros. Entertainment and DC Entertainment today unveiled plans for a year-long celebration of Wonder Woman. The character has transcended the pages of comics to become a powerful global symbol of justice, equality and peace.
Beginning with a new commemorative logo honoring the Amazon Princess’s legacy, highlights of the year will include the relaunch of her comic book series; new graphic novels; convention panels; and consumer products, including apparel, toys and other exclusive merchandise. These and further anniversary events will culminate in the release of the very first “Wonder Woman” feature film on June 2, 2017.
First seen in October 1941 in All-Star Comics #8 in a back-up story meant to test her appeal at a time when female superheroes were rare, Wonder Woman quickly broke out and headlined her own title by the next year. Subsequent generations came to know the star-spangled heroine with metal bracelets on her wrists and a magic lasso by her waist via her hit 1975-79 television series and roles in animated shows and movies, as well as her historic appearance on the cover Ms. Magazine #1 in 1972. This past March, Wonder Woman was seen for the first time in a live action motion picture with her introduction in the global blockbuster “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
Kevin Tsujihara, Chief Executive Officer, Warner Bros said:
“Wonder Woman is a legend around the world and one of the most valuable franchises at our studio, and we’re thrilled to celebrate this anniversary. Millions of fans already know her from comic books, television, and her big screen debut in ‘Batman v Superman,’ but the upcoming year building to her first solo film will be the most dynamic and exciting in the character’s history.”
Over the decades, Wonder Woman has run for president, organized a union, flown an invisible plane, lost and regained her powers, studied martial arts, battled Ares, the God of War, worked at a fast food chain, and had a romantic relationship with Superman. Her diverse history will be integrated and celebrated in a new comic book series launching this month as part of DC Universe: Rebirth that honors what fans love most about the character.
Written by fan favorite Greg Rucka and on sale June 22nd, Wonder Woman #1 will be the first print debut of the new Wonder Woman 75th commemorative logo. Other variations of the new logo created for various products merge the character’s name and traditional “W” symbols with the number 75, set alongside a striking blue silhouette of the iconic character in a warrior stance.
Diane Nelson, President of DC Entertainment, President of Warner Bros. Consumer Products, and President and Chief Content Officer of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment said:
“Wonder Woman has long stood with Batman and Superman in the trinity of DC’s most iconic Super Heroes, but she also stands alone as a symbol of equality, justice and female empowerment and is more relevant today than ever. With her roots in Greek mythology and American feminism, Wonder Woman is one of the most unique and compelling characters in comic book history; her longevity is a testament to her global appeal and the special place she holds in the hearts of generations of girls who have imagined wielding their own lassos of truth.”
Created by William Moulton Marston, a psychologist who invented the lie-detecting polygraph machine, Wonder Woman was conceived as a new type of superhero who used wisdom and compassion, not just her fists, to triumph over evil. Daughter of the queen of the all-female Amazon tribe from Greek mythology, Wonder Woman was imbued by the gods with powers, including super-strength and a lasso that compels anyone it surrounds to tell the truth. Wearing a costume inspired by the flag of a downed American pilot, she travelled to “patriarch’s world” to fight for such values as peace and equality. She is the only female comic book character to have her own stories continuously published for the past three quarters of a century.
Among the events and products Wonder Woman fans can look forward to over the next year from Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment are:
At long last, June 2, 2017, will see the long-held hopes of millions of fans fulfilled as the first “Wonder Woman” movie is released in cinemas worldwide, starring Gal Gadot in the title role, Chris Pine as Captain Steve Trevor, Robin Wright as the Amazonian General Antiope and Connie Nielsen as Queen Hippolyta, directed by Patty Jenkins.A “Wonder Woman 75” panel at San Diego Comic-Con International in July 2016 will celebrate the history and future of the Super Hero, along with displays at DC’s booth of Lynda Carter’s original costume from the 1970s television series and numerous additional costumes, including the one worn by star Gal Gadot in the upcoming film.A commemorative box set of Wonder Woman’s greatest stories to be released by DC in July, as well as a hardcover special edition celebrating her 75th anniversary to be released in October and available through the holidays.A life-size Wonder Woman invisible jet will be on display at San Diego Comic-Con and the rare plane will illuminate at night for fan photos, along with one-of-a-kind Wonder Woman-inspired graffiti-art pieces.

The invisible jet, one of the wackiest and yet most iconic elements linked to DC superhero Wonder Woman, will Not be making an appearance in the upcoming feature film.
A new interview with DC Entertainment's Diane Nelson for People magazine has Nelson clearly stating "There is no invisible jet. Not in this iteration."
Several old rumors claimed the jet appears several times in the film, even though it has become redundant in the comics as Diana can leap and fly around.

Just two days after Mattel announced that Wonder Woman's invisible jet toy is going to be a Comic-Con exclusive this summer, there's some bad news about the amazing Amazon's famous mode of transportation in her upcoming solo movie. It won't be appearing in the film — and not just because it's invisible, but because it won't be there at all.
In a piece celebrating the 75th anniversary of the character, People Magazine interviewed DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson, who spoke a bit about the movie and broke the bad news about her aerial transport:
"It will have its own tone and look – it's beautiful," Nelson says. "There is humor in it, there is real emotion in Diana's journey in discovering the complexity of man."
One thing it won't have? "There is no invisible jet," Nelson spills. "Not in this iteration."
I understand why people went ape for Gal Gadot in Batman v Superman — it was the first time the character had ever been seen in live action on the big screen — but even though many say she stole the movie, I was still a little underwhelmed by her. Here's hoping a solo film that presumably allows more of her personality and complexity to shine through will be enough to kick Gadot's performance to another level.

Having recently wrapped principal photography, the long overdue solo debut of Wonder Woman on the big screen has been on the minds of many a fan as of late and speculation will continue to snowball as next summer’s release inches ever closer. In the meantime, we will take whatever factoids are presented.
Recently, People caught up with DC Entertainment president Diane Nelson to help kick off the festivities of Wonder Woman’s 75th Anniversary. Although it seemed like such a simple thing to say, she let us know which major part of the iconic superheroine’s mythology will be absent from the upcoming film when discussing its tone:
“It will have its own tone and look – it’s beautiful. There is humor in it, there is real emotion in Diana’s journey in discovering the complexity of man.
“There is no invisible jet. Not in this iteration.”
Personally, I was never really a big fan of the invisible jet considering that Diana can already fly, but I must admit it’s an easier pill to swallow than seeing Superman drive a car or Spider-Man four-wheeling as part of toylines. If they are ever to introduce the invisible jet in a Justice League movie or a subsequent Wonder Woman sequel, I can only hope that it happens organically.
Anyone who has seen the awesome animated film Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths will remember that she stole Owlman’s jet that had cloaking capabilities – only its system fried and the cloaking could never turn off. A live action movie doesn’t necessarily have to replicate those events, but the right writer could come up with something that makes sense.
Furthermore, Nelson had this to say about the aforementioned 75th Anniversary celebration:
“There’s no better time than now. The overall conversation that’s happening in our culture right now – about having stronger gender equality representation in media and in government and in education and all of it just makes it the perfect time to see a character like Wonder Woman out there.”

This is a great time to be a Wonder Woman fan. As the iconic superheroine's 75th anniversary approaches, DC has lots of awesome stuff in the pipeline - including a new look for Diana's DC Rebirth incarnation, toys, a clothing line, and of course her very first solo big screen adventure in 2017. People unveiled the anniversary logo below, and they also have details on what we'll be seeing from the Wonder Woman movie at this year's San Diego Comic Con (it doesn't sound like a whole lot, but there may be more announcements to come), as well as some new quotes about the film from DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson. Invisi-Jet fans may be disappointed! "It will have its own tone and look – it's beautiful. There is humor in it, there is real emotion in Diana's journey in discovering the complexity of man.

Mr. Khosla,
I read your piece “The Case Against Dan Didio.”
I’m rarely impressed, but you wrote an impressive article. The attention to detail, footnotes, research and overall thoughtfulness you put into making your case was indeed extraordinary.
I’m a bit taken aback by your use of my article as the motivation to write yours. My article why are we still complaining about Dan Didio had little written about Mr. Didio. It certainly wasn’t a defense of his work nor a damning of it. He and others mentioned were only used to illustrate my outlook.
Much of what you wrote regarding my views and work can do with a bit of clarity. I fear what you’ve constructed in your narrative is somewhat unbalanced and frankly unfair.
For example, placing quotes around a word when no one is speaking gives the distinct impression you don’t believe,...

In the fallout from the muted box-office and critical results of "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice," Warner Bros. Pictures is doing something rather drastic - they're shaking up their executive structure.
Instead of managing all their films, executives are now being put in charge of "genre streams" with each of them ultimately reporting to Warner Bros. Pictures president Greg Silverman. Courtenay Valenti is now being put in charge of the Lego and "Harry Potter" franchises, Jesse Ehrman will handle comedy/family films, and Niija Kuykendall will handle sci-fi action films.
The big change though is that current seasoned film executive Jon Berg and DC's chief content officer and comics veteran Geoff Johns have been appointed as the heads of the newly created DC Films, a dedicated division which will attempt to course-correct the Warners comic book movies. Johns will still report to DC Entertainment president Diane Nelson, while Berg will report to Silverman.

Big spoilers lie ahead for Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice
Whichever side of the imaginary rivalry you fall into, there's no denying that when it comes to movies, DC has got some catching up to do. In the same year as Marvel Studios released their first major crossover, The Avengers, Warner Bros released The Dark Knight Rises, the final chapter in Christopher Nolan's acclaimed Batman trilogy, which was firmly grounded in the notion that Bruce Wayne is the world's only superhero.
Nolan's disinterest in the larger DC toybox left Warners a few steps behind Disney and Marvel, especially after the failure of 2010's Jonah Hex and 2011's Green Lantern, the latter of which was intended as the first step into a wider universe.

After just two weeks, "Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice" has been dumped from the top of the box office, by a middling, even more terribly reviewed Melissa McCarthy comedy. It's perhaps a fitting way for the superhero movie to start its tumble down the top ten in the weeks ahead, and while Warner Bros. has shown a brave a public face for the critically slammed movie, it will certainly miss earning $1 billion worldwide, a magic marker for mega-tentpole success. Thus, perhaps it's not a big surprise they are getting more involved in the followup. Variety reports that studio suits are expected to be more "hands-on" with Zack Snyder's "Justice League," with production executive Jon Berg and Time-Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes in particular looking in as cameras start rolling today. The problem? There's no Kevin Feige-like person from DC overseeing things, with both Geoff Johns and Diane Nelson...
