DC Bullying AI: Supermanās Cape Needs Human Hands, Still
At New York Comic Con 2025, DC Comicsā boss Jim Lee made it crystal clear: AI will not touch Superman or any of their characters 'not now, not ever' while he and SVP Anne DePies hold the fort. Lee compared AI fears to the New Millennium bug and NFT mania, reassuring fans that true creativity 'dreams' and 'feels'āunlike AI, which only aggregates art like a digital magpie. The drama got real when DC had to yank several variant covers amid scandals that accused artists of sneaking in generative AI. Lee reminded everyone fanfictionās fine, but AI-drawn heroes in the DC mythos? No way.
