Yesterday at the annual Time Warner meeting, the DC
Cinematic Universe was put under the microscope by shareholders. According to
the LA Times the majority of the meeting was about Warner's Chairman, and Chief
Executive Jeff Bewkes, succession in 2017 from the company, but some
shareholders questioned Warner Bros. plan for their DC properties.
Another
shareholder questioned Warner Bros.' strategy with DC Comics, which has lagged
behind Walt Disney Co.'s Marvel Entertainment, and criticized the studio for
not doing enough to develop female characters from its library. Warner Bros.'
Tsujihara acknowledged that DC Comics has not done as well as he would like but
added that there is wonderful opportunity there and promised that the
shareholder will be "happy and proud" down the road. DC Comics
President Diane Nelson chimed in that Warner Bros. is trying to differentiate
from Marvel, which will become apparent soon. As for exploiting more female
characters from the DC Comics properties, Nelson said a priority is creating
properties that will appeal to young girls.
