DC Entertainment has reportedly been hit hard by the layoffs implemented by WarnerMedia as the company streamlines its business units.

WarnerMedia began its rounds of layoffs earlier today amid restructuring efforts, which have reportedly affected DC Entertainment. CBR has confirmed that the layoffs are real, but we do not yet have a clear picture of who has been let go and who is being retained.

“Amid massive layoffs at Warner Bros, I’m getting word of an absolute bloodbath at DC Comics,” journalist Asher Elbein tweeted. “Bob Harras is apparently gone; so are editors Mark Doyle, Brian Cunningham and Andy Khouri. Jim Lee still with the company, but no longer publisher. DC Collectibles gone entirely.” Bleeding Cool also confirmed Elbein’s list of names, while adding that Marie Javins, Executive Editor of Global Publishing Initiatives & Digital Strategy, is being elevated.

Variety reported earlier that approximately over 800 WarnerMedia staffers were to be laid off today, with approximately 650 Warner Bros. staff and 150 to 175 HBO staffers let go. The moves come as WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar looks to streamline the WarnerMedia business with a greater emphasis on HBO Max, the company’s new streaming service that offers content from Warner Bros., DC, Sesame Street Workshop, Turner Classic Movies, Studio Ghibli, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Crunchyroll and Looney Tunes.

DC is slated to have a big presence at DC FanDome on Aug. 22. DC FanDome is a 24-hour virtual fan convention, with scheduled appearances by a number of DC creators, along with the first look at anticipated films such as The Batman and The Suicide Squad.
