This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]484629[/split]
Just think of the one glorious day where it will say 0 hours to go.
Wait... that Batman pic in the manip... is that the one they showed at Comic Con?
Nah its just the old one flipped and then his head is photo shopped
Walt Disney
The prospect of combining Disney's Marvel with Time Warner's DC Comics might be too compelling to ignore, plus CNN would give Disney the cable news asset it lacks. Disney's market cap as of Aug. 8 was $149 billion compared with Time Warner's $63 billion, which gives Disney CEO Bob Iger more leverage than Murdoch might have had.
The search giant most often is mentioned as a potential bidder, though Time Warner still has the historically awful AOL merger fresh in its memory. Still, Google has a track record of massive profits (unlike AOL at the time) and a hefty $385 billion market cap to back up a potential play.
Apple
As with Google, Apple's massive market cap ($567 billion), not to mention $38 billion in cash on hand, makes it an automatic potential bidder. Time Warner's giant library of film and TV content presumably would fit neatly into whatever plans the maker of iPads and iPhones has for its still-nascent Apple TV product. And, of course, iTunes always is looking for some video leverage as it goes to war with Netflix, Hulu and other online content services.
HOly ****...4:27 and same post. Fallen Angel, are you my long lost twin? :|
Yeah, I've just read this about half hour ago too. It's interesting to think about, but Time Warner really isn't interested in being bought.
True. Yeah if all DC movies were done in the same style as MCU, I'd be disappointed. The DC movies need to be less comedic and darker imo than the MCU moviesA Disney Batman movie? Gross, no thanks
