Part 7/11:
Amidst these upheavals, one major question persists: Who is truly in charge of DC Comics now? The leadership landscape is fragmented, with many figures either fired, demoted, or leaving. Jim Lee, while still a figurehead, does not appear to wield full control, with Daniel Cherry III emerging as the de facto decision-maker—describing himself openly as an activist on social media.
This uncertain command structure coincides with a pattern of erratic decisions—abandoning long-standing characters, rushing into reboot attempts, and chasing short-term shock gains rather than long-term brand stability.
