The DCEU has now officially branded itself as Worlds of DC. What should we do now?

It hasn't, at least not definitively. No actual statement from DC or Warner Bros. That seems to be the author projecting, which is how we got "D Cxtended Universe" in the first place.

"''The announcement came during Warner Bros.’ Hall H panel at Comic-Con International in San Diego, when the DC Films segment was introduced with a banner reading, “Welcome to the Worlds of DC.” This move signifies the unofficial name, the DC Extended Universe, can finally be retired.
It should, of course, be noted that Warner Bros. has not officially announced that the shared film universe is now Worlds of DC, but several attendees displayed the new banner on Twitter during the panel.''"
I can't edit the above for some reason, but here's another source saying it's not Worlds of DC:

"There wasn’t an announcement. It was simply a line of text at the end of a promotional video. That’s hardly Warner Bros. “announcing” or “officially rebranding” the DCEU as these articles say.
I’ve received every press release that Warner Bros. sent out today. None of them mentioned “Worlds of DC” or any kind of official name for the DCEU. The DCEU is still officially nameless."
So, it's been revealed that the franchise's actual name is not 'DC Extended Universe'. It was actually a joke that came from an article written by Keith Staskiewicz for Entertainment Weekly in July 2015. It's only two years later that Abraham Riesman of Vulture learned from DC Films executives that it's not the official name for that shared universe.
For simplicity's sake, I thought it would make sense if we could continue to refer to it as the DC Extended Universe until Warner Bros. gives it an official name. I even wrote a note about it in the first paragraph of this page. However, I realized that I should not be the only one to make that decision. So, if anyone thinks we should refer to it as something else other than the DCEU until WB gives it a proper name, feel free to say so and we shall decide together later on if we should rename this page.

If Warner Bros. a major corporation cares so little about its brand and its products, and how a huge part of their media is seen and discussed, that is marked down to their incompetence and it's not our problem. We'll discuss and call it the DCEU...Every article in the interweb calls it DCEU and has done so for the last four-five years or so.
Do we wanna move Blue Beetle and Aquaman 2 to the rebooted universe folder?
The Owl House and Coyote Vs Acme are my Roman Empire.
