DC Comics–Universal Studios Deal 2025: Why Disney’s Worried

DC Comics is reportedly in talks on a major Universal Studios partnership spanning films, theme parks, and consumer products. The tie-up could boost Warner Bros. Discovery’s superhero slate, expand attractions at Universal parks, and intensify competition with Disney and Marvel. Analysts cite high-stakes brand synergy, licensing shifts, and regulatory questions, with announcements expected soon if negotiations advance in early 2025.
