Yeah, its possible that they will indeed keep *most* HBO Max content on the new Discovery of HBO service.
DC Movies - To Infinity and Beyond
- Thread starter dahj
- Start date
Well, as posted earlier, they fired every high ranked woman and the board is now exclusively staffed by middle aged and older white guys, along with nearly all the executive level, so, yeah, that interpretation of modern day fandom is not particularly surprising.
Sounds like a giant step backward.
Batgirl’ Debacle Pushes DC Back Once Again

Right. I mean I'd list examples (Buffy, Gilmore Girls, the original Star Trek conventions, Twilight, Harry Potter, just a few off the top of my head) but... no point I guess.
I don't hear any women complaining. They must be too busy watching '90 Day Fiance'.
(How sad is it that I feel the need to point out that this is a joke?)
HP is one of the few non DC franchises they listed as being one of their priorities and at this point I'd be willing to bet a large number of quatloos its fandom is more women than children.
How can they be watching TV? Aren't they in the kitchen right now?
That is the first thing I thought of. I am one who likes the different sides of DC movies and the variety of tones that we get, even though not all of them are to my taste. This sounds like all movies are going to be put through the "try to be like MCU even though we don't really understand what makes the MCU successful" filter. I was really looking forward to some of these upcoming movies--not so much any more. For Snyder fans, I am sure this is also a blow.
Their husbands let them watch TV on the iPad while they cook. It is the 21st century, you know.
"For the good of the entertainment industry?" Such a wild statement.
If streaming dies it will not be due to the actions of any one CEO, but a shift in the way other companies see as their best avenue for growth/profit, just as decades ago, some studios used the direct-to-video model, the direct-to-cable model, and moved on to others when it fit their needs, etc. Its a service, not an entitlement.
I predicted a recast for any Flash appearances going forward, but removing Miller from the 1st film...I do not see that happening.
I'd say it's more likely the reshoots involve one of the multiverse Flashes replacing Miller at the end, rather than him being edited out. Maybe a new one being edited in to replace him vs one of the existing ones. Maybe they'll do the running so fast to save the day he disintegrates thing.
They might also be editing Keaton out entirely...
That I wouldn't say is impossible, when they're scrapping existing DCEU plans. I'd be disappointed though. He was really the only reason I was looking forward to it.
Possible. The Flash's death in Crisis on Infinite Earths was the zenith of all the character meant and one of the most memorable deaths in comic history, so taking that as the means Miller's Flash leaves the series would be fine. All that's needed is finding a charismatic actor to become the new version (the Wally version, perhaps?)
I would be fine with the Keaton Batman coming out of retirement for one last mission, only for it to be so overwhelming for him, that he does not survive. Similar to the fate of some older heroes in Kingdom Come.
Oh FFS! One of the things I like about HBO Max is how they have almost all of the DC animated movies. D+ is missing more marvel animation than HBO MAX is for DC. And all those DC animated movies...
I'm sure the middle-aged straight white dudes will make keeping 'Harley Quinn' going a top priority, though.
