VARIETY: Paramount-Skydance merger collapsed in the final moments, and will lead to layoffs and austerity measures

I've never seen that cross-over.
DC and Hanna-Barbera are both WB companies and done a few crossovers. DC currently has a Scooby Doo comic. Including one called "The Batman & Scooby Doo Mysteries", DC has done quite a few H-B comics. Including the GLAAD award winning "Exit, Stage Left!: The Snagglepuss Chronicles".
They also do a lot with the Looney Tune characters.
 
Of course, in the '70s, Hanna-Barbera and DC were separate companies, but H-B had the license to Batman and the DC heroes (though not an exclusive license, apparently, since Filmation did The New Adventures of Batman while Super Friends was still airing). So it's a bit of a coincidence that both companies ended up owned by Warner Bros. so that Batman and Scooby could be "reunited," as it were.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold did a Scooby episode years before the crossover movie mentioned above. It featured segments that were homages to past depictions of Batman, and one of them was a Scooby team-up animated in the '70s Hanna-Barbera style, complete with intentional animation errors. (The others were based on a Mad Magazine parody and Jiro Kuwata's 1966 Batman manga.) It featured Jason Marsden voicing Robin, which was one of two times he's played the role, since he played Burt Ward in the biopic Back to the Batcave about the making of the '66 show. As such, Marsden is the only actor I know of who's played Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, and Dick Grayson, since he voiced teenage Clark in Superman: The Animated Series and teenage Bruce in Beware the Batman, as well as playing both young Bruce and Dick (though not as Robin) in the animated movie Batman: The Doom that Came to Gotham.

Would Batman/Bruce Wayne hit on Daphne?


On a serious note found this online I'll just quote the text of what I found
Skydance is a company that CBS wants to merge with. I assume it’s another media company but I’m not sure it matters. What matters is that Colbert has been an outspoken critic of the GOP since as long as I can remember. He used to have a spoof type news show called the Colbert Report on Comedy Central where he pretended to be an ultra conservative pundit. He then was tapped to host Late Night in the mid 2010s (?) and he went a bit more mainstream.
CBS is a network that used to be respected but now has just become another empire that operates only on maximizing profit. Trump hates Colbert (and Jimmy Kimmel too) in particular so my educated guess is that Colbert was fired so that the Trump FCC will approve the CBS/Skydance merger.
60 Minutes is a news show that has been on CBS forever. Some of the most successful and celebrated journalists in America have been hosts, and even more have been guests or contributors. Trump sued CBS because he claimed that 60 Minutes deceptively edited an interview with Kamala Harris during the 2024 campaign. Apparently CBS just paid Trump $16m PERSONALLY to “settle” a suit that was bs from jump.
 
Found a story Link about MS stopping movie and TV sales and rentals. Further to my earlier comments.
Back in the day, Microsoft backed HD-DVD in the HDM format war against Blu-ray. Some Team Blu-ray people are probably playing the ahha I told you so card over on some other forums regarding Microsoft's duplicity. Many felt Microsoft was trying to disrupt physical media for their own devices.

Corpos make some "interesting" decisions. Having said that I am downloading all of the movies I have purchased just in case that also gets turned off.
