The bosses of DC StudiosJames Gunn Y Peter Safran, They offered a press conference to clarify how they will take in this new era of the DC universe. Safran spoke of how they unified the brand since they entered office.

“The DC brand was defined by several creative teams of the company and everyone has pursued their distinctive vision of the characters, the stories and left very little space to collaborate or crossover, so it was not a DCU, but many”
“In the end, this fracture was very demanding for consumers and undermined the identity of our brand. Therefore, this is part of what has led us to DC studies, to contribute with a sense of unity, cohesion and consistency to this universe, not only makes sense for us as narrators of stories, but must be the future of the DC brand. People want to see these iconic characters interact, they want to experience this timeless intellectual property like one.
