I so wish Disney or Netflix would go and buy DC. Give him whatever he wants for it. I just don't see it thriving in this scenario.

Reading has become an endangered species. Which is half the problem with American political life. Maybe more than half. If you can't read, you can't think. Then you can fall for anything. The idea, for instance, that the truth is fake news.
