In this episode of The Nerd Gen Report (DC Round Up), we break down the shocking news of Netflix walking away from the Warner Bros. sale, why James Gunn's DCU is likely getting completely rebooted, and Zack Snyder's wild reveals about his cancelled Man of Steel sequel.

In this video:

• Netflix Walks Away: Netflix officially pulls out of the bidding war after Ted Sarandos faces political pushback in Washington. Paramount is now the likely owner, but they face a $650M quarterly ticking fee if they can't close the deal fast.
• Is James Gunn "Toast"?: Why Pablo and Brian both believe James Gunn has a 0% chance of staying in charge of the DCU under Paramount's David Ellison. We use the Taylor Sheridan Yellowstone situation to prove that the new owners will strip away Gunn's creative autonomy.
• The Complete DCU Reboot: If Paramount cleans house, we expect David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, and the rest of the new cast to be wiped from the board. We debate if Matt Reeves' Batman and the Lanterns HBO show are the only survivors.
