Blue Beetle DC Movie In Danger Of Being Cancelled
What they actually said, just in case you can’t read French, is that a source informed them that Warner Bros Discovery has asked for a first screening of the movie and then they will decide its fate. So, they are saying that the film is very much in danger of being canned by the movie studio.

However, the Batgirl DC Comics movie wasn’t the first DC movie that Warner Bros had cancelled after the Discovery merger. The Zatana, Wonder Twins and Black Canary movies were all cancelled by Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. Discovery to merge streaming services HBO Max, Discovery+

The move will result in a gutting of HBO Max, significant layoffs for its executives and staff to minimize redundancies with HBO and a combined streaming service with Discovery+ with a harder line separation between the scripted and unscripted content operations

Blade,
What a stylish, well written post. Kudos to you for being so creative.

WB was not a pure merger with Discovery. AT&T decided to off a unit that did not match its core business model and Discovery decided to take the gamble. I think that if WB were profitable, AT&T would not have spun it off. Then again, what was AT&T thinking when then purchased an entertainment company? AT&T has paid dearly the last two years for losing focus of their core business.

WB/D's problems have been expected for a while now. WB can no longer suckel at the teet of AT&T, and WB/D stock is half the value at time of the split. WB needs quick profits, with no questionable releases, to right the ship. I gambled on ATT stock just before the split and so far I am a big loser. I'm going to ride out the bet and hope for a long term turnaround from both. WB/D does not pay a dividend and AT&T's latest is a pittance what it has been.

**shrug**


These are businesses we are talking about, not charities or government agencies which don't need to turn a profit. Personally I think the right move was made with dropping the Batgirl movie and the Scooby Doo movie. Both of these had box office flop written all over them.

And while I'm at it, most likely one of my favorite shows of all time (Westworld) will be cancelled after season 4. Why? The viewership has been dismally low so while I am disappointed that these viewers have jumped ship, I also completely understand WB/Discovery's position here if they decide to cancel.
