DC movies 'to impact on comics content'

DC Entertainment president Diane Nelson has said that future DC films could impact on comics' continuity.

During an interview with Comics Alliance about her role in the newly-created subsidiary of Warner Bros, Nelson was asked whether forthcoming movies might have an effect on the ongoing storylines within the comics.

"It's hard to answer that," she replied. "We're not ready get into the details about what our [movie] slate looks like, but we will in 2010.

"But philosophically, none of this is isolated, and that's a big reason for the moves that we have just announced. You don't do any of this in a vacuum, and there should be a healthy reciprocal relationship among all the forms of entertainment that we will continue to put out."

DC Entertainment was announced last week, its purpose being to maximise the potential of the DC brand across various media.

Comic book movie adaptations have enjoyed increasing success over the last few years, but have tended to occupy a separate continuity from the comics on which they are based.
