Crisis on Just One Earth
From a bush outside the planet Qward, I can confirm that James Gunn and Peter Safran are stepping down from DC Studios, with Mobius the Anti-Monitor selected to take over in their place.
“We’re thrilled to place our library of superheroes in the hands of such a gifted industry veteran,” announced Skydance CEO David Ellison at a recent press conference. “The Anti-Monitor has been working with DC ever since the Oan scientist Krona created a universe of pure antimatter while attempting to view the moment of Creation, though he’s perhaps best known for his destruction of the multiverse in 1985, killing countless worlds full of DC characters. While we’re proud of the work James Gunn did in getting our new DC Cinematic Universe started, the Anti-Monitor has promised a new direction that we can’t wait to see.”
The newly-appointed executive was on hand to assuage any shareholders’ concerns.
“I BRING TO YOU TOTAL ANNIHILATION!” declared the Anti-Monitor, accompanied by an army of Thunderers. “LET YOUR GREATEST WARRIORS DO WHAT THEY WILL! YOU CAN RESIST THE ANTI-MONITOR NO MORE THAN ENTROPY ITSELF!” When asked about the future of Matt Reeves’s The Batman series, as well as a possible restoration of Zack Snyder’s DCEU, the Anti-Monitor clarified his plans further. “ALL WORLDS ARE PERVERSIONS OF EXISTENCE, FIT ONLY FOR MY CONSUMPTION. EVERY ATOM OF THEIR BEING SHALL BE ERASED, AND NO MOURNERS SHALL SAY THEIR NAMES. Oh, and Man of Tomorrow should still release as scheduled.”
Reaction to the new change in leadership has been mixed.
“I know he wants to destroy everything, but when James Gunn was in charge everything was way too Marvel,” said amateur film critic Kevin Jeremy. “Remember when Superman saved that squirrel? What was up with that? I say we at least give the Anti-Monitor’s vision a shot before we start worrying. And yes, I know that in the past the Anti-Monitor murdered Supergirl. But let’s be honest, so did his predecessors.”
At press time, the Anti-Monitor had announced a new DC film, Slowly Moving White Wall. The bush I hid in for this scoop was a Black Mercy Bush.
