“It’s no secret that DC has myriad rich and untapped possibilities from its deep library of iconic and lesser-known characters.”
That understatement of the month comes from Alan Horn, President and COO of Warner Bros., in a statement released today that announces the restructuring of DC Comics. I don't think this necessarily means much for most of the comic book artists and writers working for DC, but it has major implications for future films based on DC characters. Read more about that here.
I see this as being reactionary to last week's news regarding Disney's acquisition of Marvel. Maybe the unintended side-effect of that acquisition will be to provide (as the slashfilm article speculates) a kick in the pants to DC movies, which have been few and have generally sucked (Christopher Nolan's uber-successful Batman movies notwithstanding).
And speaking of those Batman movies, word is that Nolan isn't really interested in making another Batman movie anytime soon, and shifting at the top isn't likely to bring him back into the fold, in my opinion.
Interesting to see how these things will shake out.

I'd hate to see them move forward without Nolan, look what happened to X-Men when Brian Singer left (a shitty X3 and a shitty Superman). They need to be patient and wait for him. Unfortunately, I don't think that is likely.
