In August 2020, AT&T/WB shut down DC Direct as a division of DC Comics, and moved some key staff to the WB Consumer Products division.
In July 2021, McFarlane Toys entered a licensing agreement to manage the DC Direct brand. McFarlane first released the DC Direct inventory that was stuck in purgatory during the pandemic and DC's switch from Diamond to Lunar distribution. Now McFarlane is continuing the DC Direct's best selling lines: Batman Black & White, Harley Red, White & Black, and Batman Animated. Former DC Direct Creative Director Jim Fletcher helps McFarlane to develop new product, but as a licensor for WBCP.
