Warner Brothers buys and takes over Marvel!

April 1, 2008

Woah! In a surprise purchase, WB buys out the shares of Marvel Entertainment! In one fell swoop, all my fanboyism shattered into millions of pieces and burned into ashes.

Barry M. Meyer, CEO of WB, said that with the combination of Marvel and WB, they’ll be the biggest, most unstoppable media monolith.

 Of course, this raises some questions about the position of DC, as DC has been backed by WB from animated series to movies. So, now, in terms of, at least, animated shows, movies and the like, Marvel and DC are teaming up. Maybe we can all look forward to a Marvel VS. DC straight-to-DVD feature length flick. Sound tasty? Damn right, it’s tasty.

 Joe Quesada says that it’s a positive forward push, and he’s looking forward to all the projects WB, DC and Marvel might put out in the future. The comics won’t change so much, as WB will only be dealing with the non-comic, non-video game form of media.

 I gotta say, no one saw this coming. And no one ever will. Happy April Fool’s day, guys. Just kidding.
