=== Property Expansion ===
In October 2013, DC Entertainment announced that the DC Comics offices were going to move in 2015 from New York City to the headquarters of Warner Bros. in [[Burbank, California]].

Warner Bros. Pictures reorganized in May 2016 to have genre-responsible film executives, thus DC Entertainment franchise films under Warner Bros. were placed under a newly created division, DC Films, created under Warner Bros. executive vice president [[Jon Berg]] and DC chief content officer Geoff Johns. This was done in the same vein as [[Marvel Studios]] in unifying DC-related filmmaking under a single vision and clarifying the greenlighting process. Johns also kept his existing role at DC Comics.<ref>{{cite news |date=May 17, 2016 |title='Batman v. Superman' Fallout: Warner Bros.
