DC Studios

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).

From June to October 2022, Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy were Interim presidents for DC Films. On October 25, 2022, James Gunn and Peter Safran were confirmed as the new bosses of DC Studios. The pair assumed office on November 1st.

 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".
