[Cole Knight @realcoleknight]

Hey everyone, my name is Cole Knight, and I run Home of DCU. I started Home of DCEU back in 2021 (and I was Aquaman Film News prior to that) with the hopes of bringing back hope to the DC fandom. I grew up a DC fan, and I actually enjoyed some of the early DCEU films including Batman v Superman. I faced years of jokes from friends and family for being a fan of a depleted DC. Obviously, for the longest time it was bleak, but when James Gunn was announced as co-CEO, there was a tremendous beam of light in this space. Gunn was quick to draw a label for his rebooted universe: the DCU, and so I converted to Home of DCU.

When news hit that Paramount was circling Warner Bros., I knew it was trouble. Not just for DC, but for the corporate world we live in. Mergers are never really good. DC fans know this well because we’ve been through quite a few acquisitions/mergers at this point, and it’s always led to trouble. This time hits worse, because we’re only two years into a reboot, and even with some mistakes/downsides along the way, things looked good! From what we’re hearing, Man of Tomorrow seems like the event film to lift this universe deep into the developing story (leading into other heroes & the Justice League). Now, it’s all a question mark for the future.

I’m very hesitant on Jeremy Latcham, especially considering Skydance was upset that Gunn/Safran would be reporting directly to Ellison. It seems like another case of corporate executives dictating decisions without any creative or original thought, which we were used to with the DCEU.

I’m here to announce that I’ll be changing Home of DCU to a personal account. I’m a film production graduate, so you can expect a lot of film chat from me. I’ll still commentate on DC, but I’m not going to dedicate myself to reporting on DC consistently going forward. @DCFilmNews @DCU_Updates @DCdaily @DCUBrief are great update accounts to keep track of. All are good friends of mine.

To my DC friends and family: Don’t give up loving these comics, characters, and stories. I certainly won’t. Hopefully, DC will see the light at the end of the tunnel one day.

With love,
Home of DCU

When Gavin Newsom runs for president, remember that he was responsible for letting this happen

[Variety @Variety]

Skydance insiders say the company is on track to cut nearly $3B in costs following its Paramount Global acquisition, exceeding its original $2B target:

• Bloodletting will come in the form of layoffs, expected by the end of 2026 and extending into Q1 2027, and ruthless efficiency targets

• Skydance is also scrutinizing its financial commitments to major sporting events like the Olympics, according to a recent team meeting on the Warner Bros. lot

@DCFilmNews Getting snow this weekend!

[Cole Knight @realcoleknight]

I’m camping in the Adirondacks and the local radio guy is complaining about Gunn being fired 😭 😭

He said Peacemaker is one of his favorite shows

[Cole Knight @realcoleknight]

@Blue8881Blue I believe it’s Comcast by revenue, then Disney. On paper, Skydance is the biggest, but it’s just not bringing in the revenue at all. Which is rough when your debt is through the roof, hence the tank in stocks.

[Cole Knight @realcoleknight]

Imagine being the biggest media conglomerate in human history and your stock is under $8

[Cole Knight @realcoleknight]

@chelsexual Yup

[Cole Knight @realcoleknight]

In these very same articles they reported that Gunn’s next film evolved into a Justice League film.

Like… what are we doing?

[DC Film News @DCFilmNews]

David Ellison wants the Justice League back on the big screen as soon as possible, according to insiders.

Jeremy Latcham is expected to prioritize Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash and DC’s other heavyweights, focusing on big names over deep cuts.

DC fans in a year voting in the primaries against Gavin Newsom

[Cole Knight @realcoleknight]

@DCverso1 We’ve known each other for years, DCVerso. Take this time to chill after your non-stop reporting. I hope to see your updates sometime soon when things look brighter!

[Neva Howell, Official @NevaHowell1000]

@RhianRozek I believe Man of Tomorrow could change that trajectory. I am not giving up hope. Can we be curious? Maybe this is a good thing unfolding and we just don't see it yet.

[Andy Espinoza 🇻🇪 @FilmmakerAndy]

End of an Era.

I felt like Jimmy Olsen the first time I asked Cole about Home of DCU. Outside comic book Twitter, Cole is a great friend and filmmaker. I’m excited to see where this new chapter takes him.

[MSP Talks @mspyaps]

Sell DC to @realcoleknight and we good

[Cole Knight @realcoleknight]

He left all his projects weeks ago knowing he had the job on lock 🥀 🥀

[Umberto Gonzalez @elmayimbe]

One tiny scoop to go with today's reporting. Incoming DC Chief Jeremy Latcham, who was supposed to produce Lionsgate and Sony's NARUTO movie, left the project 3 weeks ago.

Y’all do not hate billionaires enough

[Cole Knight @realcoleknight]

A hit piece meant to defend Skydance.

Just sad.
