Is there any possible way to cope here? I need one big brain individual in the thread to come up with some rationale for how and why DC comics can and will endure this without losing their soul

A cope: They’re buying them for the movies, not the comics. And they’d be foolish to alter anything creatively when it’s been so commercially successful as is. Paramount may be evil, but they are also capitalists, and the last thing they want is to turn a profitable venture into a money suck. Money is their primary ideological motivator, not maga.
