Bad news for DC fans. The Wrap is reporting that Time Warner, the parent company of Warner Bros. and DC Comics, which are in the early stages of being purchased by AT&T for a whopping $85.4 billion dollars, might sell off the respective properties if the deal fails. It seems that the U.S. government might block the merger from happening.
An individual with inside information on Time Warner told The Wrap that the company would most likely be sold separately to interested parties. This includes Warner Bros., HBO, Turner and, of course, DC Comics.
The good news is that Apple was also said to be interested in purchasing the giant media company and could easily swoop in and save the day.
Of course, you would have to wonder if Disney might be interested. Imagine Disney owned the rights to both DC and Marvel characters. While it’s still too early for panic, anything is possible at this point.
There are currently three DC films scheduled for release including Aquaman releasing on December 21, 2018, Shazam! on April 5, 2019, and Wonder Woman 2 on November 1, 2019.

How is this bad??? This is THE BEST thing for DC, as it’s Warner Bros who is the problem here. The studio execs are always meddling, and it simply never ends well. Wonder Woman was great, but ultimately, it was the Captain America First Avenger story(Hey, I loved it, saw it theater and bought the 4K blu ray!). That should not have happened, from the studio perspective.
Whoever purchases DC, hopefully they will realize the best and most obvious thing to do is to give DC some independence and create DC Studios. Snyder should be included, naturally. The DC editors and writers should be included as well. And keep Joel Schoemacher away!
Well if Disney bought DC comics then their movies might actually become decent cinema
Clickbait
That would suck is Disney bought it.
But if Netflix did it would be cool. Since Disney is pulling it content.
Lachlan Arnold lol
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO This is just a bad dream please tell me that isn’t real
Malcolm Evans They need to DC deserves better!
Im stunned bruh. Stunned!
I wouldn’t mind if Disney got them but that would be just unfair lol.
Yeah. I know Disney would do it right…for the most part. They could always Last Jedi it but unlikely since theres actual source material. They good with SM. But Id like someone else to have a hand in CBM to mix things up
I still vote…
But not Sony
I’d definitely give Universal a shot most of their films have been good quality and been competing box office wise with Disney between Jurassic World and Fast franchise.
Yeah a CBM in there hands could give Disney some competition
But they’ll make some risks. Latino Superman, Asian Batman, Black Wonder Woman lol
Tyrese as GL
Lol Idk about that
Even if they didn’t, I hope the dc comics universe stays intact and the movies get better
Worse super heroes ever.
Since DC is getting into the live action medium with the DC streaming service, I’d like to see them in charge of the movie productions.
Please no! Just no
Oh balls.
Nah
Woah!
Disney would mess it up like Star Wars.
Another salty last jedi hater. Your salt fuels my existence ??
Im a die hard Star Wars fan but hate disney’s fingers in the mix
