Show us on the doll where Snyder touched you.This could mean anything, including him just having another appearance/cameo as batman written into some prior contract. I do love the trolling of Snyder stans though, even after Jim Lee outright said WB/DC were completely done with Snyder style DC movies, they keep doing little things to keep the Snyder stans pretending that they're this close to "winning".
I mean, I do wish they'd stop giving them false hope because Snyder stans are really annoying. But I kind of enjoy the fact that Snyder stans are never getting another film in Snyder's style, and the DC film universe in general will basically have nothing to do with his movies going forward (and almost certainly just retcon all the unsuccessful stuff away when Flash eventually releases), but they're going to keep holding out a weird hope that DC will for some reason go back to a film style that underperformed and were generally horribly received by critics and general audiences. Its like sticking Snyder Stans in purgatory, but unfortunately we still have to hear them
Just as a bit of extra bit of information that has been overlooked so far, according to IGN the $23 million is just the domestic box office, if you take it up to the global level it goes to $41.4 million, so it might not be as dire as it sounded with just the domestic, but it's still not great.
Which really is a shame, because it's pretty fun. If you a DC fan and an animation fan, I'd definitely encourage you to go see it.

I don't think you have any idea what a normal budget for a cg-animated family movie is, because at $ 90 million it did have a normal budget. Comparison time, both The Bad Guys and Rise of Gru had budgets of $ 80 million, Turning Red had a budget of $ 175 million, and Lightyear cost $ 200 million. Sure, there are other animated movies which cost less, like Paws of Fury at $ 45 million, but that just means Super-Pets is in the middle tier of budgets for these kind of films. Which, you know, is normal.
The honeymoon is over for Warner Discovery. It is expected sharp cuts and lay offs will occur between August and Thanksgiving

I bet we never get the live action Green Lantern series. Far too expensive.
The DCEU already featured a Lantern (in ZSJL), so WB should take the solo project in that direction, not a series.
Yeah, if they're going to go by expense when it comes to cutting planned series, that would probably be a big target. Especially since they've already got at least two other lower budget DC series on HBOMax, with Peacemaker and Pennyworth. And isn't there possibly another The Suicide Squad spin-off series on the way?
I get they're cutting a lot but I'm not so sure on what direction they're ultimately aiming for. I hope it's not just a lot of "unscripted" stuff. I don't know if HBO viewers want a bunch of Discovery type shows (who knows, maybe they do?).
The bit about putting in movies in the theater before streaming seems sensible enough though I think they should sprinkle a few enticing streaming exclusives to keep viewers intrigued.

..and with the hack Berlanti involved, it would be yet another one of his soap-opera-esque messes standing at the polar opposite of what DC production should be, so it should be the show to be cut. That said, I believe in one way or another, that will be allowed to move forward, no matter how it ends up.
As I posted over in the 'Ongoing Canceled Shows' thread, as per Deadline Hollywood, HBO Max has already canceled all of its family oriented and children's shows and is eying canceling most of its other scripted programs already on air or under development.
Where does it say the last part? I found the article in question, and it just says they're halting live-action children's/family shows (implying they're keeping the animated ones), as well as "a pullback in original scripted series for the TNets," which I take to mean broadcast television networks like The CW.
TBS & TNT as well, they have killed everything scripted except for Snowpiercer, which is already in production, and American Dad. I think one other show as well but I can't recall the name. By Tnet I believe they mean the Turner channels. I have not heard the HBOMax killing all scripted though. I'm thinking that might be a misunderstanding when the other networks are.
New ownership always means a cull. New Execs can't take credit for old regimes productions and kill them for their own pet projects. Which is why I was worried about getting a second Dune, I'm glad it's already in production.

So does that mean we're not getting any scripted series except the few survivors on any WB related platforms now that Discovery owns them? Or are they just purging the last regime's stuff to do their own later?
The reason I ask is because this is Discovery we're talking about, they're not exactly known for scripted series. I've actually been wondering about this ever since the deal went through. I'm assuming they're at least going to let WB Pictures keep making scripted movies?
