However , fresh boss Stankey conceive that recent DCEU efforts have at least been manoeuver in the right direction both in terms of quality and management . In an interview withTHR , Stankey speak about how he will approach the DCEU and where improvements may be involve . Stankey stated :

" First of all , I believe the performance [ of DCEU picture show ] over the retiring year and a half is trending the correct focussing in terms of the timbre of the intersection and how the dealership is being managed . So hat off to Kevin [ Tsujihara ] and the team around pay back the momentum lead the right direction . patently , there were some public thing that have occurred over the last couple of weeks that would indicate that some additional change is afoot . My involvement in that is to ensure I stick out Kevin in getting the absolute best talent potential and we ’ll take that dealership to the next spirit level . That ’s his stage set of decisions to make and his direction to go in .

We plain need to go to creatives and talk about what we can do with our platforms now that are different than what a stand - alone Time Warner could do prior to the transaction .
