Warner Bros. Discovery has dropped the “Comics” from DC as a new website is launched from the previous DCComics.com which redirects to DC.com.
The website sees a redesign that focuses more on the movies as Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam is front and center (I’ve been told Johnson wants to take over the DC films) along with DC League of Super-Pets and the new Netflix Sandman TV series.
Regarding the comics, yeah, they’re still there, but they’re relegated more toward the bottom and they do have their own subsite at https://www.dc.com/comics. Worth a mention is that Warner Bros. Discovery and CEO David Zaslav also dropped DC Comics and the DC brand last month from the floor of the San Diego Comic-Con.
