DC Movies - To Infinity and Beyond

So, apparently, IGN had an exclusive DC Fandome panel I didn't know about (and it didn't stream on the DC Fandome site, because it was "exclusive") on the new animated "Superman: The Man of Tomorrow" film. And during that panel, they announced the slate of animated films for 2021. Here's the list:

- Batman: Soul of the Dragon (early 2021)
- Justice Society: World War II (Spring 2021)
- Batman: The Long Halloween, Part I (Summer 2021)
- Batman: The Long Halloween, Part II (Fall 2021)

Holy shit, a JSA animated film? I wish this had come out around 2012, back when the animated films were still consistently good, but they do manage a decent film every so often even now, so hopefully its good and not edgy crap like most of the post-Flashpoint movies.

I'm a lot less excited for Long Halloween since I learned that the original comic was written by Jeph Loeb, but the Dark Knight Returns animated adaptation is a thousand times better then frank Miller's comic, so maybe something good will happen. I wish there weren't three batman movies in 2021, though, but I guess I should feel lucky that we're only getting three movies, and not four.
 
the worthless third season.
Yeah, no.

Okay, it looks like they aren't in any rush to start a new ongoing animated-movie universe to replace the one they just ended. We have three movies set in the past (young-Superman origin, '70s kung fu Batman movie, WWII JSA movie) and a 2-part comics adaptation, probably standalone like previous adaptations such as TDKR, Year One, and The Killing Joke.
IGN's review for Man of Tomorrow talks about it being the beginning of a new shared universe, but I'm not sure if it actually is, or if it just felt that way to them. At first they to talk about it like it just felt like a could be, but then later in the review they made it sound it definitely was.

That was a misunderstanding -- the director talked about hoping it could be, but WB clarified that it isn't.

EDITOR: A previous version of this story interpreted our conversation as confirmation Superman: Man of Steel is the start of DC's next animated universe. Warner Bros. Animation has since clarified that this is not the case.
 
Ok, that sense. I was surprised they were talking about a new shared universe in the review, since all other stuff I've seen about DC's animated movies said they were all not going doing any more shared universe movies.

OK, was the innuendo in those clips intentional, or an example of the changing times?
