When the release of the film Batgirl was canceled by WBD in August, Hamada was not consulted regarding the decision and only learned about it when De Luca and Abdy informed him at a test screening for Black Adam (2022). Hamada was upset and considered resigning, but agreed to stay until Black Adam's release.[17] Later that month, Dan Lin entered talks to oversee DC's film and television divisions. From this position, Lin was expected to report directly to Zaslav, while Hamada would depart the studio.[18][19] In September, Lin and WBD ended negotiations and agreed to part ways,[20] in part due to Lin's concerns with the Batgirl cancellation.[21] During Black Adam's Times Square premiere in October, star and producer Dwayne Johnson said he could be a consultant at DC Films, helping the studio find its next creative leader.[22] Later that month, it was reported that De Luca had been effectively running DC Films in place of Hamada.[23] On October 19, Hamada departed the company, two days before the release of Black Adam.[24] Ver más
