While I haven't seen anything official, I base my acceptance on this article from 2008.  While the article doesn't come right out and say it, it seems that they were looking into having DC Comics oversee production in some way.

There's a DC logo before the recent movies.

From the Variety Article that Unicus posted

"DC doesn't have a separate film division the way rival Marvel does, which is moving forward with an "Iron Man" sequel and adaptations of Thor, Captain America and the superhero team-up "The Avengers" for 2010 and 2011."

So should this means that there hasn't been any DC Comic productions as of yet, so they should be added.
Oh and what about the Veritgo DC Comics as a production company as on the Constaintine Profile, should that go.

And it seem by most peoples reactions if there is a logo we add it.

So, the consensus is that it is a production company? I only asked because this has come up again and wanted to see what people's opinions are 2 years later.

If they are credited as such, I always include them.

There is none AFAIK (or remember, this is for the new Green Lantern movie). It's only the logo at the beginning...

The fact that it is in logo form makes no difference.  Companies, at least as far as I know, are not given any credit...logo or text based...in the opening credits, unless they are part of the production process.  Since the rules say nothing about what form the credit must be in, I would still enter them...assuming there is room.

If I am not mistaken, Warner Bros. created a division called DC Entertainment.  I think they were charged with all things DC and making it an integral part of WB.


I don't remember where I saw it.

Except in the credits it doesn't say DC Entertainment (unless there's a copyright at the very end of the end credits).

And as a side, the logo only says DC, so would the credit only be "DC" and not "DC Comics"? It's a technicality I know, but it's not as clear as Marvel Entertainment where, at least in the last batch of Marvel based films, were credited as such.

The rules say, "Do not abbreviate Studio or Media Company names," so when they are presented in logo only form, I enter the actual name of the company.  In this case, DC Comics.

I'm working on a Canadian profile for Green Lantern right now and have no intentions of entering DC as anything. It appears as a logo before the film, but during the film's closing credits where all the production companies are, it's completely absent. Unless I'm missunderstanding something here, why would it be entered when it's not credited during the film's credits?
The night is calling. And it whispers to me soflty come and play.

The rules do not require that it be a written credit.  In fact, the rules do not require that it be credited at all, just that it be the Theatrical Release Studio or a Production Company.  As I said earlier, based on my knowledge of US films, the logo would not be present if they were not one of those two entities.  If you don't want to enter it, you don't have to, but I will have no problems doing so.

Fair enough. If I recall correctly, I've mostly always entered studios as they're presented during the film's actual credits, not just the logos before, so maybe that's why my first reaction is to not enter it. If everyone feels that it's the proper thing to do so, I have no problems with it, it's just not how I've been doing it up to this point.

I think, I am with The Martian.

With Geoff Johns being a co-producer, and chief creative officer of DC entertainment, I don't think that I would vote no...
