David Zaslav, head of Warner Bros. Discovery, has defended potential price increases for HBO Max, arguing that consumers "love" the platform's content so much they will accept higher costs. He suggested that while there are too many streaming players, and some have aggressively dropped prices, HBO Max's quality justifies a premium. Zaslav also referenced that consumers paid more for content a decade ago and are now paying dramatically less for increased content and quality. However, the article challenges his assertion about other streamers lowering prices, noting that most platforms, including Apple TV+, Netflix, and Dropout.tv, have recently increased their subscription costs.

DC Studios and Warner Bros. have released an hour-long documentary titled Adventures in the Making of Superman on YouTube, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the relaunch of the iconic character.[1] Eagle-eyed viewers of the documentary noticed a storyboard that may hint at a sequel, showing Superman, Supergirl, and Krypto flying together with the head of Brainiac in the bottom left corner.[1] Brainiac, considered one of Superman's greatest foes and second only to Lex Luthor, has never appeared in a live-action film despite multiple appearances by other villains.[1] Brainiac has a history of shrinking Krypton's capital city, Kandor, which could tie into an adventure for the entire Superman family, as Supergirl has personal memories of Brainiac's arrival on Krypton.[1] The article suggests this could be an opportunity to introduce Superboy/Conner Kent and even Lois Lane as Superwoman for a cosmic adventure.[1] James Gunn had previously mentioned Brainiac as a potential villain for Superman.
