Slav’s Take of the Week

As we march closer to the end of 2025, it’s becoming clear that the biggest challenge facing DC Studios isn’t box office, critics, or even studio politics, it’s the growing wave of fan revisionism.

The same corners of the fandom that spent years claiming the old regime was “misunderstood” are now rewriting history in real time to frame the DCU as doomed before it’s even had a full slate on screen. Successes get minimized, patience gets mocked, and anything that isn’t immediate validation is spun as proof of collapse.

It’s not analysis… it’s narrative warfare.

What’s wild is that DC Studios has done exactly what people claimed they wanted for years

A plan, consistency, creative autonomy, and leadership willing to commit long term.

Superman landing, excitement around Supergirl, Lanterns, and Clayface, and Gunn publicly signaling he’s in this for the long haul should be reasons for cautious optimism, not moving goalposts.

The DCU doesn’t need blind praise, but it does need time. And if 2025 proved anything, it’s that the real test for DC’s future isn’t whether the studio can build a universe, it’s whether the fandom can stop trying to burn it down before it’s even finished assembling.
