Okay I'm back in.

Unofficially, lagging sales has been a repeated reason that was stated.

However, if you check The Numbers website. You’ll see that the main breadwinners were still raking in high returns for the DCAMU. Batman, Superman, Justice League and the Teen Titans movies. Other things like WW Bloodlines, Constantine City of Demons and Suicide Squad Hell To Pay all underperformed. None of them cracked $2 million in Blu-ray/DVD sales. We don’t know what digital sales numbers are.

However, the lowest DCAMU films are still higher than the lowest Tomorrowverse films. The lowest selling Tomorrowverse movies at the moment are GL Beware My Power, Legion Of Super-Heroes, Justice League Warworld.

Superman, Long Halloween and JSA WW2 are the highest grossing Tomorrowverse movies and the only films that have comparable success to late stage DCAMU movies. Such as JL Apokolips War, Batman Hush, Batman Bad Blood, TT Judas Contract, Death and Reign of Superman.


From my perspective, this is just another day ending in ‘Y’ at WB/DC. Line wide reboot of an established shared universe in favor of a different shared universe. Like I said earlier, there have been no in-universe or out-of-universe connections from the Tomorrowverse movies to defunct DCAMU; before COIE part 1. It’s last call for all DTV movies and they decide now to pull out all the stops. It’s a shame that COIE, which is approaching its 40 anniversary next year. Is not given a higher production budget and more faithful adaptation for release to the fans and general audience.

It's also worth noting that the numbers website don't take into account the rentals revenue which is where these movies make the most of their profits.

By rentals, I mean commercial rentals like in flight rentals and Hotel rentals. These movies are a money printing enterprise for wB.

WTF with this Anti Monitor design?

[Mantis-Ray]

Oh wow they redesigned Anti-Moniter.

What a lame ultra realistic look.

[HsssH]

I thought it was some random robot before reading comments.

Why is it so hard for Crisis adaptions to do comic-accurate Anti-Monitor designs?

[Phoenixx9]

Are all 3 parts out now?

[Morgoth]

Why is it so hard for Crisis adaptions to do comic-accurate Anti-Monitor designs?

Budget. Or more precisely, the lack of budget.

[Doctor Know]

The Anti-Monitor has such a unique and icon design. He’s seen a plurality of adaptations over the years.

COIE




Green Lantern TAS

New 52 as Mobius




Arrowverse




Tomorrowverse




This was a conscious choice. Show the other interpretations of the Anti-Montior to someone and they could identify him. A black armored kaiju with no discernible facial features is the height of generic. I get the feeling that someone thought they could outsmart the material by going with a minimalist design.

Are all 3 parts out now?

Part 1 and 2 are out. Part 3 will be released in July 8th.

Budget. Or more precisely, the lack of budget.

You'd think animation of all places could do better.

[Robotman]

That’s an absolutely dreadful redesign of the Anti-Monitor. There’s pretty much nothing recognizable of the character in that face. It could be any generic bad guy.
