DC Studios Shake-up

For the past two weeks, we have been unexpectedly busy with other things. But over that time, there were a lot of updates regarding the massive shake-up at DC Studios. What happened, and what does it mean for the future? Before getting into our main topic, there was a few bits of news worth covering. Filming has begun on Joker 2, and a new video game featuring the Justice League taking on Mr. Mxyzptlk was announced. In addition, it was announced that Kevin Conroy would be voicing Batman in the upcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League video game. But then we get to the major updates in the shake-up at DC Studios. There was a lot more than just James Gunn hinting at possible characters we could see in the future. One of the news pieces is that Blue Beetle is, in fact, happening and getting a theatrical release. Probably the biggest news is what appears to be the wiping of the slate when it comes to the existing characters in the DC film universe. Henry Cavill will not return as Superman as Gunn is currently working on a new Superman film. Wonder Woman 3 will not be moving forward with Patty Jenkins. One thing that seems to be unaffected by everything is the Matt Reeves universe. Fans of The Batman will be happy with that, but do all of the other major changes put Gunn in a rough spot with fans?
