Read an article from cosmicbooknews mentioning DC Comics might be in big trouble:
It's being speculated that AT&T, the parent company of WarnerMedia which includes DC Entertainment, may sell off the brand in a part of a move to save billions of dollars.

Worth a mention is that
Forbes recently pointed out that "it's telling" that new WarnerMedia CEO John Stankey, who is from AT&T, never bothered to mention DC in a recent article that promoted WarnerMedia (one of the only WarnerMedia brands that were not mentioned), leading to speculation of DC closing or being sold. The article also points to the fact DC has been downsizing its exhibits at comic book conventions.
Comic book artist and creator of Deadpool Rob Liefeld has also taken to social media to offer that the company should get rebooted from the top-down, with his recent posts offering DC
should be vaporized.
Since the beginning of the year I have also been reporting how DC Comics has been cutting its line, as June saw the
lowest number of comics ever published by DC Comics. This past July also saw DC Comics
get hammered by Marvel once again in terms of both units sold and retail market share.
I'll also say why this particular article caught my eye is because
insiders told me the reason the DC Universe
Swamp Thing series was cut was because of AT&T, as AT&T execs started to look at DC and found no one was watching over the financials, as the costs for
Swamp Thing were sky high, so AT&T canceled the series.
What remains to be seen is if AT&T will simply close DC Comics and keep the movies and TV properties (I've been told WB wants to connect everything regarding movies, TV and streaming networks) or whether they will license off DC Comics or sell all of DC Entertainment, including the comics, movies and TV properties, or simply continue the way things have been going but make changes on an executive-level or more.
