One of their first big steps was developing a new Superman film with David Corenswet taking over the role. This new Superman follows a younger Clark Kent trying to balance his Kryptonian heritage with a human upbringing. The intention is not to retell Superman’s origin story, but rather to present Superman’s early journey.

In 2022, David Zaslav became CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns DC Studios. He shelved the completed film “Batgirl” that August, and DC Films head Walter Hamada resigned shortly after. Hamada left his post just two days before the October release of “Black Adam.”
