What a lot of people aren't talking about with the DCU news is that Jeremy Latcham is NOT a creative. So who will be brought in to form the story of the new DCU moving forward?
And who would be good candidates for that?
Never say never?
With James Gunn and Peter Safran exiting their roles as DC Studios co-CEOs, Henry Cavill officially addresses the chances of coming back as Superman:
"Look, there’s lots of fantastic storylines. There’s always a lot of opportunity. As the pigeon sang to Fievel in An American Tail, 'never say never.' And I buy into that. I’ve had such a wonderful time playing Superman in the past. I would never say never no."

If the numbers are to be trusted, Supergirl lost 100-120 million and Clayface hasn't broken even. Superman made 100-150 million.
So at worst the DCU is 20 million in the hole. At best they're 50 million in profit. That is not nearly enough after the first 3 movies.
James Gunn and Peter Safran have been dismissed from DC Studios after their decade-long plans imploded, following a string of projects that lost money and failed to hook audiences.
Sources suggest the thinking was Gunn and Safran spent big — and lost too much — on projects that just weren’t resonating with audiences, raising eyebrows with their decision to focus on lesser-known characters like Supergirl and Clayface rather than building out the franchise with marquee names.
As one studio insider puts it: “The industry has taken away the wrong lessons from Marvel’s success. Higher budgets don’t equal quality storytelling.”

This plays a lot like now. Successful Batman franchise is going and WB decides to make a Superman movie creating a whole new universe/continuity.
2010-2011: Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan considered having Man of Steel share continuity with the Dark Knight Trilogy, but ultimately decided against it.

June 2008: Warner Brothers begins taking pitches for how to reboot Superman after the financial disappointment of Superman Returns.
Comic book writers Grant Morrison, Mark Waid, Geoff Johns and Brad Meltzer were among those who pitched their ideas for a reboot.
"I told them, it's not that bad. Just treat Superman Returns as the Ang Lee Hulk", Morrison said.
Morrison's idea was similar to their work on All-Star Superman, while Waid's was akin to Superman: Birthright.
Mark Millar, teaming with director Matthew Vaughn, also planned an epic eight-hour Superman trilogy, each installment released a year apart; similar to The Lord of the Rings.
Vaughn would later say his pitch for a trilogy film would have been to a similar tone to Richard Donner's 1978 film, and would have included villains such as Zod, Brainiac, and Lex Luthor.
This looks so good! #AquamanAndTheLostKingdom

The questions I’ve seen a lot lately as the DCEU bids farewell in a melancholic fashion are:
“will #SupermanLegacy be a hit? What if it’s not?”
For the beginning of a new, spanning universe such as the #DCU, #SupermanLegacy shouldn’t be concerned about being an instant financial hit, nor should the studio behind it worry about its finances before making sure of its quality!
#SupermanLegacy should 100% be good, in a way that it gets people on board with the path forward from Day 1, like #IronMan was for the MCU or #BatmanBegins was for the Nolan Trilogy.
#SupermanLegacy needs to end with people excited for what comes next, not with people concerned or doubtful about its future, about the ideias presented or wondering if they will ever see the continuation of what they’ve just seen if SL ends up being divisive or problematic.
Neither #BatmanBegjns nor #IronMan made more than 1/3 of their universes’ full financial potential as first instalments, But they laid out the foundation for that full potential to be fully achieved in the future.
The foundation needs to be strong and needs to work doing its only two jobs: introducing well a new era, and create REAL EXCITEMENT for what comes next. And #JamesGunn and #PeterSafran should never allow #SupermanLegacy to see the light of the day until they have made 100% sure that the film will do those two jobs well. If it needs delays, delay it as much as needed, but don’t let it come out until it is what it’s meant to be.
As a film that will literally define the future of this new #DCU saga, there is no room for error or self indulgence. The focus NEEDS TO BE IN MAKING A GOOD, WELL RECEIVED CROWD PLEASER first and foremost.
But I think that the biggest challenge is for #DCStudios and #WBD as a whole not to overreact if #SupermanLegacy is not a mega hit out of the gate that surely many will expect it to be.
If the studio trusts in the foundation laid out and if both critics and the audiences who show up receive #SupermanLegacy positively, don’t try to change the plane’s tires while flying. Just keep going until you reach your destination, and don’t look back.
Or you risk losing your way and losing the ones who actually got excited for your universe’s future while trying to please people that have never been with you to begin with.
