Netflix just made a mostly cash offer to buy Warner Bros Discovery’s studio and streaming assets — including DC, HBO, and the Max streaming service — while Paramount Skydance and Comcast are also in the bidding war. Warner Bros Discovery, the home of Batman, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and CNN, is officially up for auction… again.

In this video, The Critical Nerd breaks down:
• What Netflix, Paramount, and Comcast are each trying to buy
• Why Netflix suddenly wants DC and HBO so badly
• How political pressure and CNN are tilting the odds in Paramount’s favor
• What a Netflix-owned DC Universe might actually look like
• And what all of this means for your streaming bill and the future of Hollywood

Is this the beginning of a Netflix DCU, or will Paramount’s all-cash offer backed by Middle Eastern money win the day? And will regulators let the world’s biggest streamer absorb another giant content library without a fight?

💬 QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Which would you rather live with: Netflix DC, Paramount DC, or Comcast DC — and why?
