Divided WB threatens DC films

The turf skirmishes have slowed development of movies based on Warner-owned DC's superheroes such as the Flash at a time when rival Marvel Entertainment is cranking out blockbusters like "The Avengers." Uncertainty about who will run Warner Bros. has stymied the studio from renewing its important deal with finance and producing partner Legendary Pictures. The deal expires at the end of next year

Corporate in-fighting has been one of main hurdles to WB's CBM producing efforts going all the way back to the 90s.

I assumed there were probably some over-inflated egos butting heads over at Time-Warner.  Thanks for this link.

I can't help but wonder if this also might explain some of Cartoon Network's sudden reluctant to showcase Warner Brothers-branded shows like Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc., Thundercats, and DC Nation.

And you know what happens to a "House Divided"...

It does explain quite alot. If I had to pick one it would be the home entertainment guy. At least he knows to let the animated alone and let them churn out great stuff.
