That was my thinking as well.

It was never going to happen. The new CW owners are bigger cheapskates than the previous CW owners, and that's saying something.
If we're counting voice artists, no one's ever surpassed the original Superman, Bud Collyer. And Newbern was a replacement for Tim Daly, who played Superman in The Animated Series, and whose version I slightly prefer over Newbern's.
Well, wasn't there a possibility that James Gunn could've picked up the show for HBO2 or something?
I dunno. I just really liked Superman and Lois. I watched all but the last season of Supergirl and mostly liked that, although I thought it was jumping the shark at the end. I also watched some of The Flash.
But Superman and Lois, imo, was much better than either of those. I wasn't sure it was going to work, with Superman as a dad to teenage sons, but with solid writing, great references to the comics, and a wonderful cast, they pulled it off.
I've always preferred Newbern myself but a part of that is because the Newbern-Eisenberg-Conroy trinity was very strong and they reprised them for Injustice and DCUO so we kept getting more. Strong performances with strong chemistry.
The Batman Part II script is reportedly worth the wait, and it features Robin

So rumor has it The Batman 2 will feature Robin. Interesting.
According to Jeff Sneider. He has had some scoops, but tends to come out with a lot of predictions that never come to anything. My best guess would be that this is one of the second category. Robin sounds more suited to the Gunnverse DCU Batman, if that ever gets made, than to Reeves’ one.The Batman Part II script is reportedly worth the wait, and it features Robin

Well, we already know from Gunn himself that Brave and the Bold stars Batman and the Damien Wayne Robin. I'm really looking forward to that film (although I would just change the title to Batman and Son or Batman and Robin).
I don't think The Batman 2 needs or should have Robin.
I remember the big reason that Nolan movies never used Robin until that cheat with Joseph Gordon Levitt at the very end was a combination of both Nolan and Bale disliking the character. Bale said he'd quit if they brought in a Robin characterThe Batman Part II script is reportedly worth the wait, and it features Robin

Petty, yet silly.
According to James Gunn, Robin is not in The Batman 2's script. He says that only six people have even seen the script so far, so I have a feeling any rumors we see for a while will be BS, because I have a feeling those six are probably not the kind of people who are going to leak stuff.

Come to think of it, I'm a bit surprised that nobody, so far as I know, has ever done a story that introduced the audience to Batman through the eyes of Dick Grayson (or another Robin) being brought into his life, discovering his identity, and so forth, the way most versions of the X-Men have used a new student as the viewpoint character for the audience (Jean in the comics, Kitty in the failed TV pilot, Jubilee in the '90s series, Nightcrawler in Evolution, Rogue and Wolverine in the movies). I mean, Robin was created to be an identification character for kids, so you'd think one of the many, many Batman animated series might have started out from his POV.
(Naturally Titans doesn't count, because that focuses on the adult Dick Grayson after he walked out on Batman.)

Barbarian and Weapons director Zach Cregger has written an original non-superhero script set in the DC Universe. There’s no indication that it will be made or was to demand, seems to have been a spec script by him.

‘Weapons’ Director Zach Cregger on Bidding Wars, Casting Re-Dos and His Personal Connection to the Film’s Final Chapter
The filmmaker began writing the feature after the death of a friend, but its final section came from mining his childhood. Still, he is ready for viewers to take what they will from the story: "I don't care if any of this stuff comes through."
