"DC Entertainment&amp;#039;s president has addressed the move of DC Comics&amp;#039; office to the West Coast. Diane Nelson has said that the decision to centralise the company in its Burbank, California offices is to prevent people from feeling &amp;quot;disengaged&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;Literally everything is more difficult,&amp;quot; she told The Wall Street Journal, regarding working across two offices on opposite sides of the country. &amp;quot;We had a huge Halloween party and a costume contest with the Burbank office and New York on a remote screen. We use all the best technology to make sure we&amp;#039;re remotely connected. But it still always falls apart. People feel disengaged. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s not a good way to run a company. When you have a creative business and ideas generated from people working together, I think you can work happier together.&amp;quot; Nelson promised that the move was not a matter of efficiency, and that no-one who wished to remain with the company would be losing their job. &amp;quot;The driving factor for me is having DC as one company together ourselves,&amp;quot; she continued. &amp;quot;Our ability to work more collaboratively with the whole studio is certainly a benefit.  &amp;quot;I believe everyone in DC will feel more a part of Warner Bros in the best ways. But it isn&amp;#039;t about more of our people talking to the film and TV people. &amp;quot;This is not the corporatisation of DC. It isn&amp;#039;t about folding DC into Warner Bros. We&amp;#039;re going to help DC feel like more of an important priority in Warner Bros.&amp;quot; DC Comics has been based in New York City since it was founded (as National Allied Publications) in 1934. &amp;quot;There is an emotional aspect and a legacy to the publishing industry in New York and for DC specifically that we will miss out on,&amp;quot; said Nelson. &amp;quot;We need to acknowledge that is real.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
