The Rumored Change in DC Films Leadership

Recent reports suggest that DC's top producer, Dan Lin, is in talks to take control of film and TV production for the subsidiary's Superhero Arm. This news has sent waves through the DC fan community, raising mixed emotions and concerns. While some find the idea intriguing, others are deeply skeptical, especially given Lin's past comments on fans of Snyderverse.

Lin's Disrespectful Stance

According to a podcast interview, Lin expressed that Snyder fans are bots. The context of his statement is ambiguous; it's not clear whether he was being humorous or serious. If this was a serious remark, it would certainly be a major setback for the DC brand. Some speculate that Lin could be even more detrimental than former producers Walter Hamada and Tobey Emmerich.

Should this come to pass, it would likely spell disaster for DC as an IP. Hamada and Emmerich have already laid the groundwork for such a scenario, and Lin could be the final nail in the coffin for DC's brand of cinema.

Lin's Filmography: A Closer Look

Weighing in on Lin's track record, his recent productions have been far from impressive. While some may find a few projects enjoyable, many have received lukewarm or even negative reviews.

Sherlock Holmes 2 - Although not a disaster, this film was better than "okay."

Godzilla vs. Kong - Despite not being a fan of the monsterverse, it garnered mainstream popularity.

Aladdin - Personally, the only takeaway was that "I hated it."

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part - Another underwhelming entry in the BrickVerse.

IT: Chapter Two - Heard it's popular, but it was not to my liking.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters - It was well-received, but it's not my cup of tea.

The LEGO Batman Movie 3D - Not worth watching, and the reviews were lackluster.

The LEGO Movie - Same, not worth the time and effort.

The Invention of Lying - Never heard of it, and I heard it was bad compared to the original anime.

Terminator Salvation - Average movie overall.

Impact on DC Fans

For DC fans, this news comes as a double-edged sword. On one hand, there is a glimmer of hope that Lin might bring fresh energy to the brand. On the other hand, the fear that he might undermine the legacy of Snyderverse is palpable. If Lin does indeed become the head of DC films, the future of DC as an entertainment powerhouse is uncertain.

Further Developments

To date, the situation remains fluid. A recent interview with Tatiana Segal, a known critic of the Snyderverse, suggested that Lin was sarcastic in his remarks. However, until official confirmation, the DC fans remain on edge, eagerly awaiting the outcome.
