**DC Studios**, formerly named **DC Films**, is an American film and television studio. It is a division of Warner Bros. that oversees the production of films based on intellectual property owned by DC Entertainment. That is a subsidiary of Warner Bros. that manages its DC Comics units and characters in other units. DC Studios has produced every DC Extended Universe film since _Suicide Squad_ (2016).

## History

DC Films previously existed as a production banner within Warner Bros. It was reorganized to be a formal division after _Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice_ underperformed at the box office and had a negative reception.  This was done to compete more directly with its popular rival, the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Due to the underperformance and negative reception of _Justice League_, Warner Bros. announced a new strategy and organization of DC Films. In January 2018, it was announced that Warner Bros. executive Walter Hamada will be the new president of DC Films, and will oversee all future DCEU projects. In February 2018, Chantal Nong Vo was announced to be the vice president of production for DC Films.

On April 5, 2022, Warner Bros. Discovery announced a reshape of DC Entertainment and its film division. Newcomer president David Zaslav announced that he was looking for a "Kevin Feige" type figure to lead DC Films., On August 5, 2022, after _Batgirl_ cancellation, then president Walter Hamada was deeply upset  and threatened to resign. He  agreed to stay on until the release of _Black Adam_.

On October 25, 2022, James Gunn and Peter Safran were announced as the new executives of the newly rebranded name "DC Studios".
