DC's Executive Justice League - Comic Book Resources
Interesting. I really don't see it changing much of the day to day at DC. Might mean that Johns has to cut his workload back. He was already pretty much running things creatively at DC, so might as well make the title official. But yeah, I really don't see much changing.

I really don't understand the Co-Publisher thing. Most CEO's Presidents, and Board of Directors have stated many times in the past, that the Co/Dual Executives doesn't work. It's two people doing the job of one.
I'm wondering if they really just wanted to make sure that Jim Lee had another reason to stay, or if DC really wanted Jim to be the sole Publisher and felt they had to offer it to Dan as well, in case Jim declined. Dan got half promotion (my opinion) and Jim received a FULL promotion. Kind of makes you wonder what the thinking behind this decision may really be? Why promote 5 people to new positions and not already have someone in mind for Dan's old job as Executive Editor. I'm wondering how long there will be 2 Co-Publishers and how long Dan will be staying around. Either way, congrats to all and best in their new positions at DC.

Of course they had to give it to Dan. Honestly, for the past couple of year DC has been DiDio. How many people were surprised when Levitz stepped down? I was because I didn't even realize he was the publisher. Because of how public he was, DiDio was the face of DC.
Now the co thing can work if each have defined sets of responsibilities that don't overlap.

I'm trying my best to look at this news without my "jaded old fart" filter on, but it just seems like a case of re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic (or the Queen Elizabeth 2, depending on how optimistic you are about the future of the comic book direct market). Wasn't it just 4 years ago or something recent like that that we were supposed to get an "all-new" DC under the creative leadership of Grant Morrison and Geoff Johns? What happened to that direction?

The last couple years of stories for most of DC's super hero titles have been driven by Morrison (Bat titles) and Johns (Lantern, Flash, Superman).
And the poor Teen Titans keep getting the shaft hardcore.
