>But what will come next? It's killer bee time.

"It's imperative that comics continue to evolve to change and that we the caretakers do the same.We stare down a troubling future. A future with many a storm cloud on the horizon. Challenges such as AI generated writing and art, shrinking attention spans, characters drifting into the public domain, and that constant tug-of-war between digital and print. And here's the thing, every era has its killer bees. I don't know if anyone in this room knows that reference. Killer bees. So when I was a kid in the 70s, we were told we were told swarms of killer bees were coming up from South America to take over and ravage the world. Obviously didn't happen, but something I spent a lot of sleepless nights on. And then we were told Japan's booming miracle economy would overwhelm and crush all their rivals. That too did not happen. Then it was Y2K, then NFTs, and now it's AI. History has a way of humbling predictions. The future rarely turns out the way the headlines warn us it will. But let me make one prediction I know I can stand by today. DC Comics will not support AI generated storytelling or artwork. Not now, not ever as long as I am in charge
