It's been quite a long time since fans have seen Henry Cavill's Superman on the screen. The man started out the entire DCEU, and now doesn't even get to fulfill cameos, ala Shazam! or Peacemaker. To make matters worse, it doesn't seem like Warner Bros. has much intention of putting the spotlight anywhere near Cavill and the Man of Steel. The closest fans may get is a project revolving around Calvin Ellis, a black Kryptonian from an alternate timeline.

With Sashe Calle's Supergirl coming onto the scene in The Flash, is Clark Kent's time in the DCEU done for the foreseeable future? While it certainly seems like the case at this point, thankfully some new management has come in who could really shake everything up.

Less than one week ago, Warner Bros. was merged with Discovery, creating the new brand and moniker of Warner Bros. Discovery. What will likely make many fans excited are the new thoughts coming from the companies' CEO David Zaslav, someone who sees lots of untapped potential in the live-action DC Comics world. 

Now, thanks to the Warner Bros. and Discovery merger, it looks like fans may be getting Superman back into the spotlight sooner than expected.

A Rumored Superman Revival Incoming?

According to a report by Variety, there may be some good news for Superman fans coming out of the Warner Bros. and Discovery merger. Reportedly, David Zaslav, the CEO of the combined companies, feels that the current state of the live-action DC Comics projects is "lacking coherent creative and brand strategy."

Even though there was an undeniable success with films like Aquaman and The Batman, Zaslav specifically pointed out Superman as one of the many "top shelf characters... left to languish," all of whom he believes "need to be revitalized."

To add to that, Zaslav believes in projects such as Joker and Birds of Prey, as they are prime examples of those second-rate characters who, when used and exploited correctly, can create just as engaging projects as the A-Listers.

Could More Superman Actually Happen at Warner Bros.?

It's great to hear the new leadership in charge seem to be coming to the same conclusions that many fans have been arriving at for a while now. The DCEU does in fact "lack a coherent creative and brand strategy", and big characters like Superman have been sitting in the corner for a long while—all because of one disappointing movie.
