The fallout from Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice continues to ripple through Warner Bros.
The Burbank-based studio is making changes to the way it handles its DC Entertainment-centered films, giving oversight of the feature projects to a pair of executives and creating a dedicated division for the films. Current executive vp Jon Berg and Geoff Johns, DC's chief content officer who successfully launched the comics label's foray into television, will co-run DC Films, according to multiple sources.Berg was already working on BvS, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman and Justice League. He also is a conduit to Ben Affleck, having worked with the actor-filmmaker on Argo and Live by Night, the crime thriller Affleck recently wrapped as director, writer and star for the studio.
Comics writer-turned-exec Johns, meanwhile, was key in working with showrunner Greg Berlanti on the ascension of superhero shows such as Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl and is the writer behind DC's upcoming Rebirth, the publishing side's reboot of its titles that will play out over the summer months. He is not leaving DC, according to sources, but adding film to his portfolio. Johns will still report to DC Entertainment president Diane Nelson, while Berg will report to Silverman.
With Berg and Johns, Warner Bros. is attempting to unify the disparate elements of the DC movies with a seasoned film exec and a comics veteran that together can hopefully emulate the way Marvel Studios has produced its films under the vision of president Kevin Feige. But sources also say Warners still wants to remain filmmaker-driven. As part of their new jobs, Berg and Johns will become producers on the Justice League movies.

Warner Bros. is already proving to be ahead of the curve by having next year's Wonder Woman serve as the first female-led superhero movie of the modern, post-Iron Man era, and now the studio has yet another female-centric superhero film in the works. Per THR, Warner Bros. is developing a film revolving around Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn character from the upcoming Suicide Squad, as well as a number of other female heroes and villains. So while Robbie's Harley Quinn sounds like she'll be the anchor for the feature, this may not exactly be a Harley Quinn movie per se.
Robbie is attached to star in and produce the picture, which is being kept under firm wraps as THR couldn't even find out who's penning the script beyond the revelation that the project has a female writer onboard. In addition to the villainous Harley Quinn, other characters are expected to get the spotlight, with Batgirl and Birds of Prey bandied about as possibilities.
Apparently Robbie was the impetus for getting this project off the ground, as she grew to love a number of DC characters during her comics research for the role of Harley Quinn. She found a writer and brought the project to Warner Bros., which immediately sparked to the idea of spinning off the Harley Quinn character into a female-centric DC Extended Universe film.
THR reported news of the renewal and move, which confirms recent reports that such a network switch was being discussed. The CW --- which is co-owned by CBS and Warner Bros., who produce Supergirl -- already is the home to The Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow (all, like Supergirl, executive produced by Greg Berlanti). In a rare cross-network crossover, The Flash recently appeared on Supergirl for a highly rated episode.
For that crossover story, the Flash traversed the multiverse to team up with Supergirl, who exists in a parallel universe - something that will no doubt need to be addressed when we see, presumably, more crossovers between the shows next year, now that they are on the same network.
NBC Television has picked up the long-gestating "Powerless."
The last trailer for Batman v Superman arrives and it is amazing!
