Seeing people’s comments in the tags on my Wonder Woman/Black Canary posts realizing that we’re getting a Wonder Woman game and a Black Canary spinoff film is so pleasing to me HAHA!
The Wall Street Journal just confirmed WBD is now scrapping the plan to have HBO Max Original DCEU films and are going to have the “Batgirl”, “Black Canary”, and at least “Static Shock” movies go theatrical just like the switch with “Blue Beetle”!!! :D They posted an interview with WBD’s new head David Zaslav as part of them having their Upfront today too. Posting the link in the comments so this goes in the tags and they talk about other things going on with the movies, TV shows, and everything WBD now owns both on streaming and regular cable. Also confirmed too they did indeed cancel the “Wonder Twins” movie too because they realized it wouldn’t be profitable, though still feel bad for the actors cast and hope they’re used in something else. So the projects made for HBO Max connecting to the DCEU/Reeves movies going forward will be TV shows only like “Peacemaker”, “The Penguin”, etc. I know this is what a lot of us wanted and a lot of these movies, especially “Batgirl” was originally supposed to be in theaters anyway. Also likely means “Batgirl” will be out around November/December of 2023 so waiting on that announcement now.
ETA: It’s now also been confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, TVLine, and others.
