Warner Bros. Fails to Lock In DC's New Superhero Movie Boss

DC has been in a state of flux ever since Warner Bros. Discovery took over the studio, and it was kickstarted with the cancellation of Batgirl. Since then, WBD has been on a cancellation spree, removing several original superhero shows from HBO Max. 

Moreover, DC's leadership is another issue as Walter Hamada, its current president, has only agreed to remain in his leadership post at least until Black Adam's release on October 21. As a result, this led Warner Bros. Discovery to find DC's new leader. 

Now, a new report has revealed an unfortunate update about the studio's search for its DC film and TV head.

Dan Lin Won't Take Executive Role

CNBC shared that movie producer Dan Lin will not take the job to become head of Warner Bros. Discovery's DC Comics film and TV unit. 

The LEGO Movie and IT producer was reported to be in talks for the said role under DC, but the outlet revealed that the two sides ended negotiations without reaching a deal. 

The two sides were reported to exchange term sheets, with Lin wanting to keep the production company he founded, Rideback, operational with an equity stake owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. However, both parties decided to move on after Lin decided to stay at Rideback.
