Could Fox Buy DC Comics?

21stCenturyFox_PentagramThere’s a lot of maneuvering the the mega corporation business world, as Rupert Murdoch‘s 21st Century Fox is looking to buy Time Warner. Time Warner owns DC Comics, so, it’s possible Fox might soon own some of the most iconic characters out there.

As reported by The Verge, Fox made an $80 billion bid for Time Warner, and that bid was declined. The New York Times is reporting that Murdoch is “determined” to push ahead with the takeover, and not likely to walk away. CNBC confirmed the offer and rebuttal. CNBC also has reported that the two company’s CEOs met in June to discuss a potential deal.

If this goes through, bets as to how quickly Superman returns to fighting for “truth, justice, and the AMERICAN way”?
