On February 21, 2020, the Co-Publisher of DC Comics, [[Dan DiDio]] stepped down after 10 years at that position. The company did not give a reason for the move, nor did it indicate whether it was his decision or the company's. The leadership change was the latest event in the company restructuring which began the previous month, as several top executives were laid off from the company.<ref>{{cite web|first=Ryan|last=Faughnder|title=DC Entertainment shakeup continues with the exit of co-publisher Dan DiDio|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2020-02-21/dc-comics-co-publisher-dan-didio-exits|date=February 21, 2020|access-date=February 21, 2020|archive-date=February 22, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200222044740/https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2020-02-21/dc-comics-co-publisher-dan-didio-exits}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|first=Rich|last=Johnston|author-link=Rich Johnston|title=Dan DiDio No Longer Publisher of DC Comics, As Of Today|website=[[Bleeding Cool]]|url=https://www.bleedingcool.com/2020/02/21/scoop-dan-didio-no-longer-publisher-of-dc-comics/|date=February 21, 2020|access-date=February 21, 2020|archive-date=February 22, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200222044653/https://www.bleedingcool.com/2020/02/21/scoop-dan-didio-no-longer-publisher-of-dc-comics/}}</ref> However, [[Bleeding Cool]] reported that he was fired.<ref>{{cite web |last=Johnston |first=Rich |date=February 21, 2020 |title=So Why Did Dan DiDio Leave DC Comics Anyway? |url=https://www.bleedingcool.com/2020/02/21/why-dan-didio-leave-dc-comics/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200223155331/https://www.bleedingcool.com/2020/02/21/why-dan-didio-leave-dc-comics/ |archive-date=February 23, 2020 |access-date=February 21, 2020 |website=Bleeding Cool}}</ref>

In June 2020, Warner Bros. announced a separate DC-themed online-only convention. Known as [[DC FanDome]], the free "immersive virtual fan experience" was a 24-hour-long event held on August 22, 2020.<ref>{{cite web|title=DC FanDome: Warner Bros.

As [[Warner Bros.]] and [[DC's]] response to San Diego Comic-Con's cancellation due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the convention featured information about DC-based content including the [[DC Extended Universe]] film franchise, the [[Arrowverse]] television franchise, comic books, and video games. The convention also returned for the virtual premiere of ''[[Wonder Woman 1984]]''<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://ew.com/movies/wonder-woman-1984-virtual-premiere-dc-fandome/|title=DC FanDome to return with Wonder Woman 1984 virtual premiere, sneak peek|last=Agard|first=Chancellor|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|date=December 11, 2020|access-date=December 15, 2020|archive-date=December 15, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201215061120/https://ew.com/movies/wonder-woman-1984-virtual-premiere-dc-fandome/|url-status=live}}</ref> and returned once again on October 16, 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dccomics.com/blog/2021/04/28/dc-fandome-is-returning-in-2021|title=DC FanDome is Returning in 2021!|website=DC|date=April 28, 2021|access-date=April 28, 2021|archive-date=April 28, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210428161518/https://www.dccomics.com/blog/2021/04/28/dc-fandome-is-returning-in-2021|url-status=live}}</ref>

In August 2020, roughly one-third of DC's editorial ranks were laid off, including the editor-in-chief, senior story editor, executive editor, and several senior VPs.<ref>{{cite web|title=DC Comics, DC Universe Hit By Major Layoffs|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/dc-comics-dc-universe-hit-by-major-layoffs-1306743|website=Hollywood Reporter|access-date=August 25, 2020|date=August 10, 2020|archive-date=August 28, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200828124118/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/dc-comics-dc-universe-hit-by-major-layoffs-1306743|url-status=live}}</ref>

In March 2021, DC relaunched their entire line once again under the banner of [[Infinite Frontier]]. After the events of the [[Dark Nights: Death Metal]] storyline, the [[DC Multiverse]] was expanded into a larger "Omniverse" where everything is canon, effectively reversing the changes [[The New 52]] introduced a decade prior.<ref>{{cite web|title='Infinite Frontier' Launches Next Era of the DC Universe|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/infinite-frontier-launches-next-era-of-the-dc-universe-exclusive|website=Hollywood Reporter|access-date=December 18, 2020|date=March 26, 2021|archive-date=December 18, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201218163111/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/infinite-frontier-launches-next-era-of-the-dc-universe-exclusive|url-status=live}}</ref>

Furthermore, AT&T spun off WarnerMedia to Discovery, forming [[Warner Bros. Discovery]]. This merger was completed on April 8, 2022.

In January 2023, DC relaunched their line under the banner of [[Dawn of DC]] following the conclusion of [[Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths]] and [[Lazarus Planet]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=November 18, 2022 |title="Dawn of DC" Starts in January 2023 |url=https://www.dc.com/blog/2022/11/18/dawn-of-dc-starts-in-january-2023 |access-date=November 18, 2022 |website=DC |language=en |archive-date=November 18, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221118160253/https://www.dc.com/blog/2022/11/18/dawn-of-dc-starts-in-january-2023 |url-status=live }}</ref> Later that year, [[Jim Lee]] was promoted to President of DC in May.<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Kit |first1=Borys |title=Jim Lee Re-Ups at DC, Promoted to President |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/jim-lee-named-president-dc-1235479090/ |magazine=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] |date=May 3, 2023 |access-date=May 24, 2023 |archive-date=May 19, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230519152408/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/jim-lee-named-president-dc-1235479090/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
