Who can lead the DC Film Universe? Obvious Solution....

With the poor reception of the current iteration of the DCEU, Warner Bros may at least seek new creative brains to guide the universe (a DC equivalent of Kevin Feige and/or the Russo bros), if not to do a complete reset. Who could Warner bring in? To me, there’s an answer right under their noses. There's a team, currently working in another corner of Warners, that brought to film a universe sourced from relatively obscure literary material with a hardcore fanbase. They created a pop culture phenomenon that enjoys both popular and critical appeal. This team has delivered time and time again, seeming to top themselves just when you can’t believe they could do any better. As luck would have it, this team is also about to free up from their main project over the next year or so. Who is this team…..
Wishful thinking?

I love GOT, but I'm not sure this would be a good idea. D&D don't get enough credit, but GRRM is the genius behind the story. I don't even know if they like comic books. Just find some competent filmmaker who understands the characters and can do them justice.
To be fair, I don't think Christopher Nolan grew up a fan of comic books, and I think his trilogy is the height of the genre, but then again, I didn't grow up a fan of comic books, either.

Greg Berlanti needs to lead the DC Film Universe. Maybe have Bruce Timm join him.

GOT had has two things going for it.
-A great story that was already written, for the most part.
-Great casting
-DC scripts have been horrible
-Outside of a few actor's/actresses, casting has been horrible.
Not to make this a DC Marvel thing but Marvel has their shite together and an actual game plan for their universe.

They could absolutely handle it if they wanted to. Give them six months to immerse themselves in DC lore if they aren't already, then six months to plot out main arcs, then have them head a writer's conglomeration to churn out good scripts. Hell, they could probably do it themselves.
They have source material, just like GOT. They've proven themselves more than capable of adapting material to the screen. This would be a brilliant move by DC and WB

The problem with DC is the power creep for all the main characters they want to bring to the screen. There is no real threat to Wonder Woman, Superman or Green Lantern outside of other super humans. Batman makes the best movies on their side due to him being mortal with weaknesses, it makes for a better story and more relatable.

Finally DC films can get that dark and gritty feel that they've been needing so badly.
