Top Story: Warner Bros. has responded to the Marvel-Disney merger by restructuring DC Comics. The new company, called DC  Entertainment, will be headed by Diane Nelson, who has overseen the Harry Potter franchise and managed direct-to-DVD originals, including DC Universe releases, under Warner Premiere. And still, Bruce Timm, the only man who has consistently overseen great DC properties, is not in charge of all aspects of DC Entertainment. Good luck to Nelson, but I wonder if Warner Bros. is ever going to learn. (Variety)
