"When the new creative head of DC Studios, James Gunn, announced their upcoming
slate of films and TV, it included many names you might expect: Superman,
Batman, maybe even Swamp Thing.
It also included some lesser-known and leftfield picks, such as the
take-no-prisoners superhero team The Authority. The team’s co-creator, artist
Bryan Hitch, found that out when everyone else did. “The Authority…?” he
tweeted. “I’m glad someone told me…”"
The underlying issue is that there is little prospect of any widespread
audience reach without the near-monopolist media firms who all offer the same
bad work-for-hire contracts, leaving essentially no other options for creators.
