Part 5/12:
Industry analysts compare the one-year extension to a form of "stoploss"—a strategic term from the stock market indicating a limit to potential losses or a temporary measure to contain risk. Essentially, this move ensures Gunn and Saffron remain in place just until the sale is complete. After that, their future hinges on who takes over and what vision they have for the DC franchise.
Furthermore, the current situation indicates that the sale agreement restricts Warner Brothers from making any significant moves regarding the DC Universe or contract negotiations with Gunn and Saffron until the purchase is officially approved. This freeze means plans for future projects, including pivotal movies like "Superman: Man of Tomorrow," remain in limbo.
