His vastcurriculum vitaewhen it comes to DC includingArrow, the recent seasons of The Flash, andBatwomanhave been received with more criticism than appreciation. However, the experience that the involvement in the envisionment of theArrowversehas garnered him, makes him one of the most suitable candidates for the new direction in which WB Discovery wants DC to go. Greg Berlanti will need the foresight, experience, and capability to make a long-term plan for the franchise that can take it into the future likeKevin Feigehas done (and keeps doing) with Marvel Studios.

WB Discovery CEO David Zaslav Lays Down DC’s Plans
During the recent company earnings call, DC Films had taken a blow to the knee whenDavid Zaslav, the CEO and President of the merged parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, announced that one of the most anticipated films of the year,Batgirl, would be indefinitely shelved as it did not align with the direction that the franchise is heading toward under his towering guidance.

Instead, he assures, that the DCEU will proceed with a Marvel-like long-term plan that will narrow down focus only on DC projects and ensure an interconnected universe like that ofZack Snyder‘s in the future. Although the latter half of his news was received with appreciation, the cancellation of an Afro-Latina female-led solo superhero movie was received with critical backlash. Keeping in tandem, the current running of Greg Berlanti (instead of Snyder) in the lead for becoming DC’s new Feige has also been received in the same stead.
David Zaslav or Zack Snyder should be DC’s Kevin Fiege💯#dcstudios

Remind me again what happened to Batwoman LOL.
The public has been subjected to the flailing past years of the Arrowverse and as the audience, their opinions matter as much as the preservation of a company’s future. Warner Bros. Discovery’s strategic decision of shelving one film in favor of its long-term future comes at a time when the newly minted company couldn’t be more vulnerable. At the rate at which Zaslav has been making changes, it feels like he is keener on ripping off the bandaid rather than making slow and intermittent changes. Now it only becomes a matter of time whether the new management will succeed or fail miserably in its futuristic vision.
