DC Comics is leaving Gotham for sunny Los Angeles in 2015. Diane Nelson, president of DC Entertainment, announced the move from New York on Tuesday.

“I can confirm that plans are in the works to centralize DCE’s operations in 2015,” Nelson said in a letter to employees. “Next week, the Exec Team will be in New York for a series of meetings to walk everyone through the plans to relocate the New York operations to Burbank.”

The more than 100 employees based in New York will be offered their same positions in Burbank.

“The move is not imminent, and we will have more than a year to work with the entire company on a smooth transition for all of us, personally and professionally,” Nelson said.

DC Comics, home to Batman, Superman and the Green Lantern, has been in New York for more than 70 years. It is also responsible for titles published under its Vertigo brand and by Mad Magazine, which are also based in New York. These groups publish more than 1,200 books per year.

Warner Bros created DC Entertainment in 2009 in an effort to maximize DC Comics' screen and digital offerings.

After the re-branding, approximately 250 employees in the screen, consumer products and games entertainment and administrative departments moved from the New York office to Burbank in 2010.

Comic Book Resources first reported news of DC Comics editorial move on Tuesday and said: “According to sources, high-level DC editorial employees began to be informed of the move last week.”

In September 2010, the site asked Nelson whether the company was considering moving the editorial operations to Burbank.

"Everything was considered carefully and thoughtfully," Nelson said. "Nothing was ruled out. It was all looked at."
