Donald Trump Making Superman Great Again (Exclusive)

by

Thanks to President Donald Trump, entertainment – including Hollywood and pop culture – is thriving once more, and this time, the spotlight is on DC Comics and Superman.

Trump, Ellison, and the DC Takeover

The current situation centers around David Ellison and his company, Skydance Paramount, as they aim to make a significant impact in Hollywood. Ellison, the son of tech billionaire Larry Ellison, is reportedly interested in buying Warner Bros. Discovery, the media conglomerate that owns DC Studios, DC Comics, and popular characters like Superman, Batman, and the Justice League.

That means “Truth, Justice, and the American Way” could be making a comeback.

Sources close to the situation say that if Larry Ellison acquires Warner Bros. Discovery, James Gunn would likely be replaced, and the DC Universe would undergo a complete and lasting overhaul.

Why James Gunn’s DCU Is Failing

After disappointing financial results for *Superman* and a lackluster second season of *Peacemaker*, sources say James Gunn is feeling the pressure. This is reportedly why he’s quickly trying to release new content and is making creative decisions for DC that reflect his vision, even if fans don’t love them.

James Gunn’s plans for the new DC Universe have caused disagreement among fans due to controversial storylines and political elements. At the same time, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav is allegedly focused on improving the company’s image and maximizing his personal profit as a potential sale approaches.

Trump’s Role in Hollywood’s Power Shift

In 2018, James Gunn publicly criticized Donald Trump on Twitter. This led to conservative users finding and sharing old, offensive tweets he’d made about rape and pedophilia, and Disney subsequently fired him from his role at Marvel. Although Kevin Feige later rehired Gunn to finish *Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3*, Gunn had already begun working at Warner Bros., where he created *The Suicide Squad* and *Peacemaker*.

Now, years later, Trump is indirectly shaping Gunn’s fate again.

The newly approved merger between Skydance and Paramount gives the Ellison family a significantly bigger stake in the media industry. Larry Ellison recently visited the White House with Trump to unveil Stargate, a massive $500 billion plan focused on infrastructure and artificial intelligence.

If the Ellisons buy Warner Bros. Discovery, the Trump administration will likely support the deal.

CBS, Barrie Weiss, and the Anti-Woke Shift

Ellison now has control of CBS, which recently paid Donald Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit related to a segment on 60 Minutes. Following this, Ellison chose Barrie Weiss, a vocal critic of progressive viewpoints, to lead CBS.

This change shows a broader shift in the beliefs guiding Ellison’s media businesses – a move towards values similar to those of Donald Trump and a vision for Washington D.C. that emphasizes its traditional character.

Mike De Luca Set to Lead DC’s Reboot

Sources say that if Warner Bros. Discovery completes its sale, Mike De Luca will likely lead DC. De Luca and Pam Abdy recently extended their contracts with Warner Bros., reportedly at the request of new owner, Ellison.

Daniel De Luca has been a comic book enthusiast his entire life and has championed films like *Blade*, *Man of Steel*, and Christopher Nolan’s *Dark Knight Trilogy*. People who work with him say he’s a true comic book fan with a strong understanding of film, history, and what’s happening around the world.

James Gunn’s vision for DC will likely conclude, and a new reboot led by De Luca will bring back the DC heroes that fans have been requesting.

What It Means for DC and Superman

With Donald Trump’s backing, Skydance and Paramount are buying Warner Bros. Discovery, which will likely mark the end of James Gunn’s leadership at DC and signal a fresh start for the superhero universe.

Apparently, this new approach aims to recapture the classic heroic qualities of Superman, bring fans together, and return the character to its roots of representing “Truth, Justice, and the American Way.”
