Honestly, DC-Discovery should get the people who were behind the animated DC extended universe to be their "Kevin Feige," so to speak. I feel like that should have always been the idea, though maybe they did attempt that before/are trying that now.
Another idea though a lot of people will probably hate it, but I'm throwing it out there, anyway, since they're looking at Kevin Berlanti, who created the Arrowverse is some of the Smallville showrunners. One, because they clearly know the Superman mythology, in having made Smallville. But also because Smallville was before the MCU and the Arrowverse and did crossover episodes with other DC heroes, so the showrunners clearly know things about the other characters and comics, too. Also, apparently before they made Smallville, they were actually going to make a show about Batman. But then the WB told them not to, in wanting to possibly make a movie based on him (which I guess they eventually did with Batman Begins?), so they made a show about Superman instead, with Smallville. But this means they clearly know Batman, too. Maybe Alfred Gough III is an idea? He was with the show for seven seasons, as was Miles Kamunge Millar. But I guess Millar later tried to sue the WB, because he claimed that Warner Bros. failed to "maximize profits" in marketing Smallville, misrepresented production costs and sold the show to foreign markets at "well below the value of the series"? So NOT him, I guess. LOL. Wait. I was thinking just Millar attempted to sue and failed. Apparently Gough did, too. So I guess if they DC-Discovery thought about Smallville at all which they won't, it might have to be the showrunners for season eight and on: Todd Slavkin, Darren Swimmer, Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson?
But really, we all know they won't touch the Smallville idea with a ten-foot pole. And that's probably for the best. ^_^' Especially with all that I know now.
