Oh dear, it's almost as if every idiot company trying to make their own streaming service, competing for the same dollar, made none of them profitable as a result.

Oopsie, who could've seen that coming?

"Can't light money on fire"? That sounds like a challenge to me!

DCU's new roadmap:

Gotta say, it's certainly a better roadmap than whatever DECU was supposed to be. A healthy mix of both familiar and unfamiliar heroes and villains. Still kinda sucks that we lost Henry Cavil, though

I'm still not in a forgiving mood with WB Discovery & DC. I know most of these shows will be fine, but it's still stings. It still doesn't change the fact, that the president of company fired pretty much all of their workers that are colored or women in positions and powerful positions, destiny filled with a bunch of white guys so he can feel better about himself and cater to a bunch of racist jackasses.

I like that he's super excited for movies to come, then says they'll be a full reset. And don't think I didn't notice the backtracking he did on having the same actors play the same roles. He says they will, but then later when talking about the cartoons and video games he says they'll try to keep the same actors playing the same roles.
Lots of escape routes being prepared.

Honestly, I recall ages back when a roadmap was laid out with Kevin Smith. How much of that roadmap actually came to pass?

It also strikes me as odd that they're technically doing this as a continuation of the DCEU rather than starting from scratch (apparently Flash reboots it, but Aquaman 2 is still clearly a sequel, so...) but fine, whatever.

WBD/DC, either fucking commit or don't! I am glad to see Aquaman 2 is happening, but fuck off.

Well, that's slightly terrifying.
Cancelled after Season 1.

Still waiting for my Bubblegum Crisis series, Netflix. How hard a sell could “Cyberpunk, what-if Iron Man but four awesome chicks” be these days?
