Comic Book Jobs: DC Comics Creative Director




Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, DC Comics,

Batman 9Out in Burbank, DC Comics’ new west coast division is looking for a Creative Director for the DCE Entertainment department. (Just an observation: doesn't the E in DCE stand for Entertainment?]

What does that kind of job entail? Only the coolest stuff on the planet, fanboy! Check this out:

1-Review scripts for designated live-action features and television programs.

2-Brainstorm on overall DCE creative plans and strategies across all platforms including theatrical, television, animation, video games and publishing.

3-Review treatments and scripts submitted in project development phase. Makes notes regarding character usage and story lines in order to recommend whether the project should proceed.

4-Review archives for under-utilized assets and/or in order to capitalize on market trends and popularity.

And that’s just the big four at the top of their list. It's like finding out the girl you're dating likes to dress up as Catwoman.

Naturally, you need some smarts. A Bachelor’s Degree for one, and my favorite: “platform specific acumen” (which sounds like cubicle-speak for “expertise”) in Film, TV, Animation, Digital, Video Games.

Plus TV development experience and creative writing experience, and if you’ve ever been published by DC Comics, all the better.

I’ve had this gig before, though not at DC, and it’s a heckuva lot of fun watching all this stuff blast across your desk. Now get your resume in and start thinking West Coast.

Good luck, job seekers!
